Roulette History:

Roulette is French for "small wheel". It is a little unclear but it is believed that roulette first originated in England in the late 1700's.
The roulette table layout is virtually the same since it was first designed by Blanc brothers who operated the world-famous Monte Carlo Casino. Roulette has always attracted a sophisticated player and is one of the most recognizable symbols in gambling.
