Many people believe that the primitive form of Roulette that was developed by Blaise Pascal in the seventeenth century was the very first form of the game we play today.

Nobody knows whether this is true, but what we do know is that Roulette is one of the most popular table games available at modern day casinos.

The online form of the game works exactly the same as it does at a land based casino.

Bets are placed on a numbered betting table and a ball is released into a numbered Roulette wheel. Depending on the version of the game there can be either 37 or 38 numbers.

When the wheel stops the ball will be in one of the numbered pockets. If the number that a player bet on is the same as the number the ball landed on it counts as an instant win.
