Online Roulette - History

The history of the game starts with Blaise Pascal (1623-1662),  as he was creating his perpetual motion machine, which never came to realization.

By 1842, two Frenchmen saw the gambling potential of the invention and added the numbers and segmented the wheel and added the number 0 which increased the odds of winning, by that time the game was banned from France.

As the game gained popularity, they took it to Monte Carlo where later it will become the “King of Casino Games”.

Once on American soil by the 1800, the wheel got double "0" added . With the game standards defined and cheating was not yet a problem in the Casinos, The game started attracting players trying to break the odds,

First was Joseph Jager who made records of the transactions and the results to create a list of probabilities which lead him to $450,000 in profit by 1873 which in our time would be $7,995,945.18.

When the age of the computers arrived to the game it brought with it a new breed of Online Roulette players, first various teams tried a device that predicts the outcome of the Roulette, until a team discovered one that where successful,

but they got banned when one of the devices caught fire and burned a hole on the leg of the player, the group have taken 10,000 in earnings by the moment.
