The phrase "Roulette" is French and in essence it usually means "small wheel". While it may seem that due to the fact "Roulette" is a French word that the game itself comes from France, but this is not automatically accurate.

Although the Blanc brothers’ game was a resounding success, gambling was still unlawful in France so it was released in Hamburg instead. Gambling was eventually banned in Germany too, on the other hand, but then The Prince of Monaco asked Louis to run his Monte Carlo casino and reintroduce the persons with the casino game of roulette.

Right now, to be able to distinguish between these two styles, the "00" version is referred to as the American Wheel whilst the "0" version the European Wheel. The "00" model has 38 numbers whilst the Single Zero version only has 37 but, despite their discrepancies, both are very popular throughout the globe…
