The
first form of roulette was devised in 18th century France.
Blaise Pascal introduced a primitive form of roulette in the
17th century in his search for a perpetual motion machine.The
roulette wheel is believed to be a fusion of the English wheel
games Roly-Poly, Reiner, Ace of Hearts, and E.O., the Italian
board games of Hoca and Biribi, and "Roulette" from an already
existing French board game of that name.
The game has been played in its present form since as early as
1796 in Paris. An early description of the roulette game in its
current form is found in a French novel La Roulette, ou le Jour
by Jaques Lablee, which describes a roulette wheel in the Palais
Royal in Paris in 1796. The description included the house
pockets, "There are exactly two slots reserved for the bank,
whence it derives its sole mathematical advantage." It then goes
on to describe the layout with, "…two betting spaces containing
the bank's two numbers, zero and double zero." The book was
published in 1801. An even earlier reference to a game of this
name was published in regulations for New France in 1758, which
banned the games of "dice, hoca, faro, and roulette.In 1843, in
the German spa casino town of Homburg, fellow Frenchmen François
and Louis Blanc introduced the single 0 style roulette wheel in
order to compete against other casinos offering the traditional
wheel with single and double zero house pockets.
