If you translate the word of “Roulette” from French you will get “small wheel”. The primitive version of the game was introduced by Blaise Pascal in the 17th century. The single zero Roulette was introduced in 1842 by Frenchmen Francois and Louis Blank. In the 19th century casino gambling was forbidden in France, that's why the game wasn't so well-known in France, but it was very popular in Hamburg and Germany. Later the game of Roulette was brought back to France and the Prince of Monaco loved this game a lot. The game of Roulette was brought to the USA at the beginning of the 19th century. Some additional features were deleted and the game got a double zero back. The game became popular in the old west of America. You don't compete with other players. You play against the dealer. 1 to 8 players can play the game at the same time. Players buy in and receive colored chips. All players have chips of different color. If you win a spin, you cash your color chip in for a cash chip of a certain value. The "En Prison" rule. If you place an even money bet and the ball lands on zero, you can either take back your bet or leave it for another spin. You put your bet "in prison" if you decide to leave it for the next spin. The 'La Partage' rule. When you place an outside even money bet and the ball lands on zero, you lose half your bet and you are not able to leave the remainder in prison, or out for another spin.
