The roulette mechanism is a hybrid of a gaming wheel invented in 1720 and the Italian game Biribi. Many historians believe Blaise Pascal introduced a primitive form of roulette in the 17th century in his search for a perpetual motion machine.
The first form of roulette was devised in 18th century France. It is considered that Blaise Pascal (the famous French mathematician and scientist) invented the roulette mechanism in 1657, in his search for a perpetual motion machine. Its history takes us back to the times when the first forms of roulette have appeared in Europe during the 17th and 18th century.
The game has been entertaining gamblers from all over the world for nearly 300 years.
