In the most dangerous game who wins?

In The Most Dangerous Game, a short story written by Richard Connell (1893-1949), who wins is not perfectly clear at first. (at least it wasn't for me) These are the last few paragraphs...

"Rainsford did not smile. "I am still a beast at bay," he said, in a low, hoarse voice. "Get ready, General Zaroff."

The general made one of his deepest bows. "I see," he said. "Splendid! One of us is to furnish a repast for the hounds. The other will sleep in this very Excellent bed. On guard, Rainsford." . . .He had never slept in a better bed, Rainsford decided."

It appears that Rainsford, the protagonist, has beaten the antagonist, General Zaroff, because Rainsford slept in the nice bed, while the other was eaten by Zaroff's hounds.
