French Roulette History

French Roulette History. If you translate the word of “Roulette” from French you will get “small wheel”. It was Blaise Pascal who introduced the primitive version of this game in the 17th century. The single zero Roulette was introduced in 1842 by Frenchmen Francois and Louis Blank. In the 19th century casino gambling was forbidden in France, that's why the game wasn't so well-known in France, but it was very popular in Hamburg and Germany. Later the game of Roulette was brought back to France and the Prince of Monaco loved this game a lot. In the 1800s the game of Roulette was introduced to the US public. The improvements were deleted, and a double "00" returned. The game became popular in the old west of America.
