# How to play a round of Russian Roulette

Playing Russian Roulette is straightforward yet thrilling. Here's what you need to know:

1. **Joining a Game:** Once you're in the Telegram group, find ongoing games or initiate a new one. You can join a game by typing `/join` or host a new one with `/roulette <revolver size> <minimum bid>`. For example `/roulette 6 500`<br>
2. **Placing Your Bet:**  After you have joined a game, the bot prompts you to bet. To place a bet, type `/bet <bet amount>` for example `/bet 500.` Note that you can only bet an amount not less than what has been set as the minimum bid by the game host.<br>
3. **Taking  Turns:** The sequence in which gamers proceed in the game typically depends on the Telegram conversation order and the bot's prompts in the group. The bot tells you when you have the revolver. Use `/pull` to pull the virtual trigger on yourself or `/pass` to give to someone else. \
   \
   Pulling the trigger may or may not eliminate you. If you pull and nothing happens, you are still in the game. Then you are required to pull again or pass the virtual revolver to the next player. If you pull and you get eliminated, the game ends. When it's your turn to pull and you fail to do that within 30 seconds, you lose and the game ends.<br>
4. **Winning and Losing:** The last player(s) standing wins the pot of BULLET tokens wagered by the eliminated participant. Read [**winning conditions**](/russian-roulette-game/gameplay/winning-conditions.md) to read how tokens are shared among winners.
