GREAT MOMENTS IN GAMING
Roulette’s Maiden Spin…
The famed Roulette wheel dates back to 18th Century France where it was thought to be fathered by legendary scientist and philosopher Blaise Pascal.
Having played a significant role in probability theory, Pascal’s next gift to gaming was the so-called “little wheel,” as it translates in French.
Though he was seeking a grand design for a perpetual motion machine, he fortuitously set the wheels into action to blend English games such as Roly-Poly and Ace of Hearts with Italian conceptions Hoca and Biribi.
The earliest versions of the modern game actually used the Double Zero still present in the US form, but Europeans dropped it for a lower house edge in the 19th Century.
Two hundred years on the game continues to baffle strategists all over the world, but while the secrets of Roulette remain unlocked, the excitement it creates is as fresh as the day it was born!
