The history of the casino game roulette is anything but clear. There are many myths and legends about how this popular game came into being. One popular story claims that the game of roulette was invented by a French mathematician and philosopher named Blaise Pascal. Pascal is known to have been fascinated with the idea of perpetual motion, and it is believed that his invention of the roulette wheel was the result of experiments in that area during the 17th century.
By the early 18th century, other versions of the game had been developed and were being played in England. The first modern roulette table was created by two Frenchmen, Louis and François Blanc, in 1842. The tables invented by these gentlemen featured the single zero roulette wheel that is still used in European roulette today.
Generally the systems that are employed when you play roulette revolve around betting; that is, how much to bet according to the circumstances. That's because it is the variable in the game; in other words, it's something that you can change. The probability of the various propositions on the layout do not change, because of the random nature of the wheel (except in the case of "biased wheels", which are a discussion that involves the brick and mortar casino only). And the payoff odds on each of the propositions does not change either.
