Live Roulette
If you ask when and
who invented the roulette table, you probably will not hear a
clear answer, and researchers of the
gambling still can not determine the version of its origin.
Legends associated with the origin stories roulette lot and each
deserves attention. Some believe that the roulette as a
game of chance to have originated in ancient China, where
instead of a modern mechanical wheel used its stone counterpart,
but instead of numbers - images of sacred animals. Disprove this
theory advocates Dominican origin roulette sure
that this game came up with Dominican monks. And on their terms
is depicted figures, not animals. In refutation of this,
proponents of the Chinese version of the origin of the game
claim that the Dominican monks simply stole the idea from the
Chinese, replacing animal figures to simplify the creation of
stone and understanding of the game.
However, more likely, it could be argued that the prototype of
the modern roulette was created in France. After all, France
was the only country where the establishment roulette prototype
was officially documented. But it is believed that the creation
of this game of chance is in the middle of the XIX century, to
assert that the French were the first to not be too sure. One
of the most popular legends is the story of the famous physicist
and mathematician Blaise Pascal. It is known that he
was interested in devices and appliances perpetual motion.
History has it that Pascal, creating something endlessly
fascinated by moving, in 1655 created a mechanical device that
was able to rotate neglecting gravity and friction.
But the following story exactly true, since it is based on
proven facts. So in the XIX century French brothers Francois
and Louis Blanc created a prototype of the modern roulette,
and, unlike previous versions, it added additional sector -
zero. By the way, fans of mysticism and diabolism believe that
the eldest of the brothers, Francois made a deal with the
devil, giving his soul in exchange for worldwide fame, wealth
and hidden knowledge of roulette. It is therefore the sum of
the numbers on the roulette rooms is 666, also known as the
"number of the beast" and "the number of the devil." And it's
not just a coincidence, but a sign of the destructiveness of
this invention. Almost immediately, the device has become a
popular French brothers in all casinos in Europe and the United
States. Although, in the U.S. it is horrible, with some
modifications, and that was the subsequent division of roulette.
Device brothers Blank was named "King of all casino
games" (Casino games King), and the brothers themselves got a
lot of money for his invention. Later, Francois Blanc founded
the world's first casino in Monte Carlo, where today is
European, and even global, center gambling industry, comparable
only to that of Las Vegas.
