The original roulette had a single zero and a double zero, whilst roulette wheels with just one zero on them weren’t invented until 1843. Devised in France during the 18th century, roulette has been played in the form that we know it for today since 1796. Roulette has long been one of the most popular casino games, offering even those punters that don’t really understand betting the chance to place a wager that is fairly self-explanatory.
