A History of Roulette Online

The first original roulette was a spinoff from Pascal’s research into perpetual motion – he used to spin a wheel in a direction, and send a tiny ball spinning opposite. At the time, there were 36 pockets and the ball stopped in the place where it would become a winning number. Following this, in 1842 the Blanc brothers added a “zero” to the roulette – adding an extra layer of difficulty to this game, even though gambling was banned from France at the time. However, roulette’s popularity was still spreading in the rest of the continent, and when gambling was legalised again towards the end of the century, Francois Blanc opened one of the world’s most famous casinos in Monte Carlo, taking advantage of the Roulette wheel and its popularity. Today, the Roulette is renowned as the King of the Casino Games due to its popularity at that casino.

Fast forward to the 1990s, when the surge in online casino’s popularity saw the Roulette become one of the most popular online casino games. The game became accessible to many people who would not normally go to a casino, and also because online casinos could request a much lower minimum bet, unlike land-based casinos. More online players could now play Roulette online, and you’ll find it in almost all online casinos nowadays. Moreover, many players could now experiment at how to win at online roulette, or try out online live roulette in the live casino sections. It was only a natural evolution that, with online roulette becoming so popular, that players could start to play live roulette online on their mobile devices too.

 

American Roulette and French Roulette

While France would re-introduce roulette formally towards the end of the 1800s, the game had become popular across the Atlantic Ocean, in America, where gambling houses and saloons were also blooming. The American Roulette variant featured a key difference to the French one, featuring a double zero which effectively reduced the player’s odds of a win. Needless to say, European players were unimpressed and the French variant is still the most popular in the old continent, featuring just a single zero pocket – known as French Roulette, or European roulette.

 

Another difference is the La Partage rule. This means that if the ball lands on the zero pocket, only half the bet will be levied from the player. This roulette variant also includes “call bets” where player can wager multiple bets on a single spin. This variant still uses a single zero pocket.
