The History And How to Play Roulette

By: Sadie Kirsten

The first roulette wheel was devised by accident by the mathematician Blaise Pascal. He was trying to devise a perpetual motion device, and when one of his friends saw the machine in motion, he commended that it would make an interesting gambling game.

When online roulette reached American shores, casino owners took the ‘0’ idea a step further, and added ‘00’ – increasing house odds even further.

Roulette became very popular in France during the 18th century, and spread throughout Europe quite quickly. The layout for the European version of the game has remained unchanged since its invention. The rules, and layout, are slightly different in the American version, although the overall idea of the game remains the same.

There was a legend where says that roulette was actually created by Francoise Blanc – the founder of the first casino in Monte Carlo. The story goes that he sold his soul to the devil in exchange for the rules to roulette – and it is for this reason that the numbers on a roulette wheel add up to 666. This story is unsubstantiated, but Blanc was responsible for making an important change to the roulette wheel. He added the number ‘0’ – which increased the house odds.

Betting online is just the same as betting in a online casino, and is a good way to get a feel for the game, as many casinos have a free version where you can play for fun without having to stake any real cash.

When betting at a casino, it is considered bad form to attempt to retract a bet once the wheel is set in motion.

Roulette is quite a simple game to learn. The rules are mostly the same for the US and European versions of the game – the main difference being the size, and layout of the table, and the type of chips used – as American casinos use special chips of a set value for games of roulette, while European casinos use the same chips throughout the casino, meaning chips of different denominations appear on the roulette table. The varying chip sizes can be confusing for beginners, as it is hard for them to identify at a glance what people are betting.

Players can bet on rows, columns, groups of numbers, individual numbers, even or odd numbers, and the colours – red or black. The payout for each kind of bet will vary depending on the casino.
