    While Zaroff is eating, Rainsford has already made his way upstairs.  He must've climbed up the building and into Zaroff's room.  When Zaroff enters his bedroom, he turns on the light to find Rainsford hiding behind the curtain waiting for him.  Zaroff says to Rainsford, "I congratulate you. You have won the game." But Rainsford is still not finished and they fight to the end.  Zaroff says that one of them will be food for the dogs while the other will sleep comfortably in the bed.  Since the last line says, "He had never slept in a better bed, Rainsford decided," that means that he defeated Zaroff.  Zaroff became food for the dogs while Rainsford finally slept.
