Rosyjska ruletka (English translation: Russian Roulette) was a Polish game show based on the original American format of Russian Roulette. The show was hosted by Krzysztof Ibisz (earlier by actor Henryk Talar). The main goal of the game was to win 100,000 zlotys. Rosyjska Ruletka was broadcast from 2002 to 2004. It was shown on the Polish TV station Polsat. Only one person won zl 100,000. Differences from U.S. Version Program Length and Number of Contestants Unlike the American format of Russian Roulette, which only ran a half-hour and had four players, the Polish version ran 60 minutes and had five contestants. Time Limit to Answer The players also had 30 seconds to answer in the first season and 20 in the second season (as opposed to just 10 in the US), and also kept track of the players' heart rates throughout the show (first season only). Cash Amounts per Question The contestants all began Round 1 with zl 300, with correct answers adding that amount to the total. Like the US version, a wrong answer gave all money to the challenger, and the contestant had to play Russian Roulette by pulling the lever in front of them. The values increased to zl 600 for Round 2, zl 1,000 for Round 3, and zl 1,500 for Round 4. Also unlike the US version, in Round 4, the contestant in control couldn't answer the question themselves. They always had to challenge their opponent. Unlike the US version, which increased the number of drop zones per question (up to a maximum of five), the number of drop zones remained the same for the entire round, but matching the number of the round (1 drop zone in Round 1, 2 drop zones in Round 2, etc.; only the bonus round ever saw a use of five drop zones). Question Format The Polish version also increased the number of possible answers for each question in each round: two possible answers for Round 1, three for Round 2, four for Round 3, and five for Round 4. The bonus round questions did not have multiple choice answers. Unlike the US version, where each round was played with a time limit, both Polish versions used a specific maximum number of questions: Round 1: 8 questions with 2 possible answers Round 2: 7 questions with 3 possible answers Round 3: 6 questions with 4 possible answers Round
