The History of the Roulette Game

[Blawpaw]

The Roulette game is one of the most popular casino games ever. It can be found in almost every casino around the 7 corners of the earth.



The game was actually invented in the 17th Century by the famous French mathematician Blaise Pascal.
Of course, nowadays the game is very different from the early one that did not have the number 0.

Yeah, in the beginning it was really crude but it has evolved so much that it include 0 and double 00.

I actually do play roulette, however I only bet on single 0 table, as it is more "advantageous" to play, 36:1. Just remember that there are no science or math that will sway the favor for the gambler here, this is pure luck base game. Only way to beat the house is that if you found a table that is biased. But if will take a lot of your time to identify it and casinos now have prevented it as they are also shuffling their roulette machine to counter it.

The Roulette game has been a part of casinos all over the world for centuries. It started off as a simple task for a player to spin a wheel and depend on the law of probability. With time, the roulette game has grown and evolved into one of Las Vegas' most popular games. The game is enjoyed by many people from all walks of life because it is easy to understand while offering excitement and thrills to all who play it. It is said that Roulette is one of the easiest games to play, but I would dare argue that it can be one of the most difficult to win. The roulette has a high house edge, in European Roulette, the house edge is 2.7%; in American Roulette it's 5.26%, but it is still a very popular and fun game, and can be quite thrilling.

The concept will probably be the same but it was evolved over the years passed and until now it has become online not offline casino only and the good thing is they maintain the probability of the game. Probably before you can play a Roulette game if you are rich people that can go offline casinos and it should be you have a big amount, but now, it is for all because we can easily access it on the website and play.

It's very popular both online and land-based its just so interesting and weird that it comes from a failed experiment by one of the greatest mathematicians, the number zero was done to give the house a bigger house edge which is why it becomes a favorite by casino owners, its very entertaining for players and at the same time the casino operators have a big edge, it continues to be the popular game of chance, its one of the first thing that you will see in a casino when you enter and one of the biggest money maker of both online and offline.

Pascal's done alot of Wonders as I would sometimes feel uncertain on how to comprehend the whole phenomenon; behind his series, innovations, perceptions etc.... Just mind blowing. Yunno back then, everyone was highly intellectual so anyone who would wanna have fun exclusively, wouldn't expect having it as a piece of cake ( even with the fact that you spend your money on 'em). Just like his early inventions, he developed the roulette games in a very logical way that not just anyone could get away with that and, it happens to be one of the most VALUED games any casino would wanna venture into. Roulette? That has alot of criterias that the guru programmed just with the use of random integers.

Roulette has always been one of my favorite games at the casino.  It's easy to play / understand, happens quickly (games last like 3-4 minutes or so on average) and it's just fund to me for some reason.


Have you guys ever seen the Jacob & Co roulette watch?  If not, watch this video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3xAhyHLvHU ).  This watch is absolutely insane!  I think it's like a couple hundred thousand dollars too which is nuts, but if I were super rich I'd probably buy one of these.

Nice!!!!

When I started gambling I went to learn about this classic game at every casino.
Today casinos make the most of it to get any advantage over players, but it wasn't always that way... in France in 1842 François and Louis Blanc changed the hitherto traditional two-zero roulette to a wheel with a single zero, decreasing thus the house edge and offering a better return to players.
This version quickly gained popularity, soon replacing the double zero version of the wheel and was spread as 'European Roulette'.

Landbased casinos preserved this game. It is still being played the same way for decades. But in some online gambling platforms , it took a new form; some made it more complicated and some made it easier to visualize and understand. If I would be asked which one I preferred, I have 2 sides; new ones gives bigger odds because there are 'combinations'(?) which gives extra rewards, but older roulette games gives somewhat of nostalgia and true gambling experience. Feel free to correct me 'coz this is just as how I view this game.

Blaise pascal is indeed a genius. He's more into numbers and probability. What I like the most with his theory of probability is that; it can be showed using numbers and described using characters. It is somehow a midpoint between  real world and numbers. Lol.
It happened that he's really into enjoyment which is why he came up as well with this roulette.

Sometimes it still occurs in my head that I might win big and plays roulette sometimes. The realization comes back when 2-3 losses are over.

The 0 and 00 just make the house edge higher but players will not mind the two, all we see is red and black. It deceives our brain into thinking it's fair because there is only 2 noticeable color. Do you know why they didn't add 000?

[GxSTxV]

Nowadays we have many types of roulettes with different chances of winning and many people are liking the online ones with much less effort, especially since the coronavirus pandemic there was no chance for go to a real casino so the best option was playing online casinos where they offer roulettes with different options and started editing them like the lightning roulette which can be good sometimes.
But honestly i prefer the old classic one, making me feel more lucky to it and also more profitable of course

0 have just been added to another form of taking players bet  but I must admit that I am one of the players that loves Betting in 0 though the odd is too slim to get

adding another 0 will be something very risky and tricky I guess , though there is no impossible thing to see this happening soon

I tend to dislike pure luck based games because I feel like you should be able to help yourself win through games. But sometimes luck based games like roulette feels really relaxed, you don't spend any effort and just take a wild guess. And it really takes no time to define winner and losers here, what a quick game.
I didn't know Roulette was French game but name "Roulette" suggested it somehow, I realized this after I read this post.

I remember reading about the history of roulette back in the day.

It's funny how it played an important role in the financing of Monaco when they had money problems. This should teach us a lesson, the big winner is always the house. Although I like to play from time to time, in fact I played a few weeks ago, with no luck. Anyone who expects roulette to be the solution to their problems is likely to end up increasing their money problems.

It's impressive how rich people spend their money. While a big part of the world grows hungry rich people are getting richer while poor people's living conditions are going through the drain. For the price of this gadget, you could feed a lot of people... Ok, so, everyone is free to decide where they spend their money, but rich people should have more Social Responsibility and should be the ones finding solutions to stop poverty. Instead, rich people don't mind if people are growing hungry and just want to know about profit...

Well if you wanted to have some fun, then roulette might be the game for you. But who knows, maybe you are extremely lucky and hit that single number, payout is huge at a single unit to 36 unit in a single 0.

What's interesting is the inventor though, he created it to test probabilities and what not, but some more genius guy turn into a game that up to know, many people around the world become addicted to it.

I am still searching for that game, that is still the same today, as it was far back when it was invented, because for all i know, every game we play today seems to not be as they were in the their early days, talk about
Poker
Dice
blackjack
and now ..Roulette
etc .. all this games have changed from their initial versions, and some times, i cant help but wonder who are the ones responsible for this change and how did they do it, and this also tells us that this same games are likely to still change for our future generations.

Anyways, its always good to get to learn the history of the things we enjoy today, how they came into existence and by whom, i hope we all work hard so as to me remembered for something the same way we remember this man today for his invention .

[btc_angela]

^^ We may not have the names that change the game from it initially, but it was good that they have improved the game for us. I mean when they played in before, maybe someone see that for example here, Roulette need some tweaks and fix to make it more exciting.

And then probably make it for the casino to win, like making a "00" to make it harder to hit if you are aiming for a single number bet.

But that watch though, so beautiful, but only the whales can afford it.

I've learned Blaise Pascal during my school days and I didn't know that he's got also the history of making this game, roulette. And even until now, we're playing the game that he has invented.
Yeah, it's sort of different today because it's been reinvented but OGs don't forget where it all started and who's the one to credit for his work. You made me read again a few things about Blaise Pascal and damn, he's got a lot of titles and achievements.

I wish someone would closely examine and test a roulette wheel from a science and mathematical perspective.

They could have physical defects and imperfections which would result in them repeating some results more consistently than others. It could be interesting to know if that is true and what the margin for statistical prediction is.

If there is temperature fluctuation between day and night cycles, the roulette wheel could contract and expand due to thermal expansion and contraction. Red and black segments could have some very slight temperature variation between them. The wood grain pattern of the wheel might influence movement of the ball.

It would be interesting to know if many small variables and deterministic phenomena could be compiled to produce a working predictive model of where the ball is likely to land.

Isn't it interesting how gambling on a low level is associated with impulsive behavior and addiction. While gambling on a high level could be associated more with math, science and logic.
