|  Roulette was invented by the mathematician Pascal in the early 17th century. The game quickly gained a following in Southern France and soon became a staple of the plush casinos of Monte Carlo.
Today, Roulette is the most popular game in most European Casinos. A Roulette table is often surrounded by wealthy and well-dressed players who enjoy the glamour the game has to offer.
European Roulette is played on a board with 37 numbers (0 through 36). When the game first appeared in the United States, a double zero was added, increasing the advantage for the house. This addition is often blamed for Roulette's lack of popularity in the United States. Roulette, however, remains an exciting game that can reward the avid player with huge payouts.
