Roulette games are a classic addition to casino floors across the world. Its name originates from the French term roulette, which means ‘little wheel’. The first roulette game prototype was created in the 17th century by the French mathematician and philosopher Blaise Pascal during his quest to create a contraption that could achieve perpetual motion. Roulette games, nowadays believed to be an amalgamation of similar English, French and Italian gambling games, soon became renowned as an enjoyable activity in France, and the game’s popularity would spread across Europe and the United States of America into the 19th century to create the same exciting roulette games enjoyed across the globe today.
