2008 The History Of
Roulette Roulette
or "small wheel" in french, is the most popular
game of chance in the world. But the exact history
of roulette is unknown although there are
theories. One theory on the
history of roulette is that this particular
Casino
Game was
invented in China and brought to Europe by
Dominican monks who in those days were trading with
the Chinese. The second is that a man named Blaise
Pascal, a 17th Century French mathematician,
invented the game. There are two
versions of the roulette casino game. The single
"0" Roulette game, known as European Roulette, was
developed in 1842 by Frenchmen Francois and Louis
Blanc to create a more winnable game but as
gambling was illegal in France during this time,
the game came onto the scene in Hamburg, Germany
where it grew in popularity. Later, it is said that
Francois and his son Camille brought the game back
to southern France for the Prince of Monaco,
Charles III and the amazing resort of Monte Carlo
was born. Roulette hit
America in the early 1800s, but they removed the
double "00" resulting in American Roulette, which
of course made the advantage push over to the
house. As gambling became legal throughout France,
the game of roulette remained restricted to Monte
Carlo. That was until 1933 and this ensured both
Monte Carlo Casino and the game of roulette an
extremely popular casino game. Online
Roulette
as we know it today first surfaced on the internet
in the mid-1990s. Undoubtedly, the game today is as
popular among Online
Casinos
players as it is in land-based casinos. Play roulette
