'He shot it once, nothing happened,' his friend Selena Aguila told CBS Denver. 'He shot it twice, nothing happened. Then, he shot it the third time and we heard a big bang.'

Eventually 5 to 1 becomes 4 to 1 and then 3 to 1. While I've never played Russian Roulette, I'm, pretty certain the objective is to NOT keep pulling the trigger until the gun goes off.

God speed Cruisito Leiba, may your short life be a lesson to others.

Always read the rules, and object of the game before playing.

When playing Russian roulette with one bullet in a six chamber gun, if you spin the cylinder before each shot:

The chance of dying by the third shot is 91/216 which is about 42%.

You have a more than 1/3 chance of still being alive after 6 shots.

Nope, it stays constant at 5:1. Previous rolls do not affect the outcome of the current roll. They are independent events.
