Roulette Games History

Some believe that the roulette game itself was invented by the Roman soldiers back in the times of the Roman Empire. Others claim that it the Blaise Pascal’s idea, who was searching for the ways to incarnate his perpetual motion idea.

In years it was “improved.” According to the roulette history, some smart guys added zero pocket to the wheel and that is how they increased the house edge. When the roulette game was introduced to the American market, another pocket, double zero, was added to the entire wheel layout. Although it was patriotic to play American roulette, the house edge was not attractive at all. Only one pocket was added and the casino’s advantage was doubled.
