Online Roulette History

Posted on December 20, 2007

Here are some interesting facts about roulette history, since the times before online casino games were even thought of.

The origin of the name roulette is derived from French, meaning small wheel.
Roulette history starts in the 17th century, when the roulette wheel was invented by French mathematician Blaise Pascal.
Some think that an earlier version of roulette originates from China, and that roulette history came into existence, when the game was brought through the spice trade routes.
The 0 number was added to roulette history only in 1842, by Frenchman Louis Blanc.
Roulette History Expands Outside France
The roulette game was banned in France, and then was brought by Blanc to Germany, where it was played in gambling halls. Later the game was also banned in Germany, and Blanc needed to find an alternate place for his game. Blanc opened a casino in Monaco, and this casino was the only casino in Europe offering roulette, until the 1930.

According to legend that appears in roulette history books, Blanc bargained with the devil in order to get the secrets of the roulette game. This legend is supported by the fact that if you add the numbers that appear on the roulette wheel, 1 to 36, you get “666″, which is the sign for the devil.

The 00 number was added to the roulette rules and wheel after in arrived in America in 1800. The American version of roulette played in the US never reached the same popularity as the game had in Europe.

Roulette history follows a fascinating path, and today it is perhaps the most recognized game available in casinos around the world.

Todays online casino roulette games are played around the world, and have become very popular, as the technology advanced. Anyone can play the roulette and experience the roulette history you read about.
