Casino Roulette

The game of Roulette was accidentally created by French mathematician and inventor of the calculator Blaise Pascal, while working on a perpetual motion device. Originally known as “La Roulette, the game contained a number of interesting features that were later modified to look more like the game of Casino Roulette that we know today.

Two hundred years later the French Blanc brothers remodeled the wheel adding the black and red pockets, giving each pocket a number from one to thirty six and the legendary green zero.

There is a myth that the Blanc brothers gave themselves up to the devil and in return received all the Roulette secrets. As a result, many say this is why the total of all the numbers on the roulette wheel is 666 – the “Number of the Beast”!

By the late 19th century the game of Roulette has spread like wildfire through all the casinos of Europe and North America. One could find Roulette tables in halls and saloons across the lands and players were lining up in their hundreds to have a go at winning a cash prize. The game became so institutionalised that it was not uncommon for players to put their entire assets on the table just to get a chance to spin the wheel. In recent times, one of the most famous such cases was Ashley Revell from London who sold everything he owned, took $135,000 to Las Vegas and put the whole lot on red. Luckily for him the red seven came out and he doubled his lot!
