The expression "Roulette" is French and in fact it means "small wheel". While it might seem that due to the fact "Roulette" is a French word that the online game itself comes from France, but this isn’t automatically accurate.

A somewhat more common theory is that the French scientist Blaise Pascal, credited with the probability theory, developed the roulette wheel. Apparently, it was an off-shoot of 1 of his numerous experiments.
Eventually, in the mid 1800’s, the French brothers Louis and Francois Blanc developed the roulette game we know nowadays. They invented the Single Zero model used by most countries in the world. A legend about Francois Blanc, is that he evidently sold his soul to Satan to be able to obtain the key of roulette. Conspiracy-theorists validate this story by the reality that all the numbers on a roulette wheel added up to "666".
Even though the Blanc brothers’ game was a unquestionable success, gambling was still unlawful in France so it was released in Hamburg instead. Betting was ultimately prohibited in Germany as well, even so, but then The Prince of Monaco invited Louis to operate his Monte Carlo casino and reacquaint the men and women with the casino game of roulette.
When brought over to The us, the single Zero variation of roulette was abandoned in favour of the double Zero edition of roulette. Today, in order to distinguish between these two styles, the "00" edition is referred to as the American Wheel whilst the Single Zero variation the European Wheel. The Double Zero variation has 38 numbers whilst the "0" model only has Thirty Seven but, regardless of their dissimilarities, both are very popular throughout the globe…
