What's the fun Swedish game compared to eg Russian game Russian Roulette then, one wonders?
Fact:
Russian roulette is a game where one or more people take turns to fire a revolver loaded with one, or after several shots to increase the chance of success, against his own temple . Often spin barrel on the gun before the first shot, to randomize the position where the sharp shot ports. It is probably in this moment the game had its likeness to roulette .
Well the difference is that all foreign games are banned in Sweden. It's only Swedish game that will offer games in Sweden and the income goes largely back to the sport, which in 2008 was 1.59 billion kronor. There is a huge revenue loss to the Swedish sports movement that we who engage in sports are grateful for.
