The history of the Roulette until now remains shrouded in mystery. Claims and counter-claims over the years have not helped to solve many of the riddles and missing things about the game. And in this way the true origin of
the Roulette will remain a mystery forever.
The Roulette has been invented in 1655 by the French scientist Blaise Pascal. This game was first played in an improvised casino in Paris. Other historians tell another version about the
Roulette birth. It is that a French monastic invented it in order to help break some of the monotony of daily monastery life. Others say
the Roulette originated in an old Chinese game whose object was to arrange 37 statuettes of animals in a "magic square" of 666, but they fail to describe the method of play. These people say that after that French Dominican monks played the game in Tibet. It is also said that one of these monks have transposed the statuettes into numbers from 0 to 36, and arranged them haphazardly along the rim of a revolving wheel. Since the early French roulette wheels of the 1800s had both the 0 and 00, this theory does not sound probable.
Around 1842 two brothers from France - Frenchmen Francois and Louis Blanc are said to have invented the single "0" roulette game. And this is considered as the modern version of the Roulette wheel. After that the game was brought and popularized in America. The single "0" variation of the game was declined in the United States and roulette history was modified forever with American roulette wheels. These wheels was made standard with the two zeros "00".
Today there are two modifications of the game - AMERICAN ROULETTE and EUROPEAN ROULETTE. In American Roulette, the perfectly balanced roulette wheel consists of 38 identical slots, individually numbered from 0, 00, 1 through 36. The European roulette wheel with its single 0 has a house edge of only 2.70%. In this Roulette the player has a 1 in 37 chance of winning and still gets paid 35 to 1. |
