However, the play of roulette became widespread in France just in early 1800s and during the century came to the rest of Europe and America. First American roulette wheels included 28 numbered positions from 1 to 28, two additional zero positions and an Eagle, which is a symbol of American liberty, that means that earlier there was even higher roulette house edge offered.
European history of roulette is tightly connected to the name of Blanca family, who moved to Monte Carlo from Germany when the government forbad gambling games in the country. There, they were free to ground their luxurious and magnificent casinos and in such way Blanca family created some kind of gambling Mecca in Monte Carlo.
There exists even a legend about one of the famous gamblers François Blanc, who is suggested to have a deal with the devil in order to know all the roulette secrets. Another interesting fact about roulette is that the sum of all numbers on its wheel (from 1 to 36) comprises 666, which is the number of the beast according to the Holy bible.
