Learn about the history of Roulette and its different variations. Find out how the King of Casino games has become a king of online gambling

The term 'Roulette' is derived from French, meaning small wheel. It was introduced in the 17th century in France, by the mathematician Blaise Pascal, although some say it actually comes from China and was brought to Europe by Dominican Monks who were trading with the Chinese.

The roulette wheel spread across Europe over this period and gained a great deal of popularity in the United States during the California Gold rush, becoming one of the most famous casino games. Some call roulette the "King of Casino Games", most likely because it was associated with the glamour of the casinos in Monte Carlo.
