Web Roulette – A Brief Biography
The term "Roulette" is French and in essence it usually means "small wheel". While it may seem that mainly because "Roulette" is a French word that the online game itself comes from France, but this isn’t automatically accurate. There are a number of differing theories ranging from the game originating in China, along with ancient Rome. Many who are convinced the game came from China, think that Monks that were buying and selling with the Chinese delivered the game back to Europe.

Today, so as to distinguish between these 2 variations, the "00" version is called the American Wheel whilst the Single Zero variation the European Wheel. The Double Zero model has Thirty eight numbers whilst the "0" version only has Thirty Seven but, despite their dissimilarities, both are extremely common the world over…
