The history of the game of roulette is unclear, as nobody knows with for certain, where it was born. There are some scholars who think that roulette was introduced and played for the first time in France at the beginning of the 17th century and it is related to a french mathematician, while other historians are talking about the Chinese origins of the game of roulette. They think that the game was introduced in Europe by monks.

In the middle of the 18th century roulette became more and more popular among the people from France and Monaco  mainly because of Prince Charles de Monaco, as he was a fan of this game.

When the prince brought the game of roulette in his kingdom, the game had the purpose to be a relief to the people, because of the economical crisis.

In the middle of 1800 the modern version of this game was introduced in the United States.

From it`s appearance roulette continues to be one of the most popular casino games played worldwide. The most popular are the American roulette wheels and the European roulette wheels. These two versions of the roulette games are almost the same, the only differences are some of their rules and the chips color.

One of the major distinctions is that in the European version of roulette  the dealer is using a long stick to move the chips, while in the American version the dealer uses his hands.
