In the 18th century, this game appeared in casinos in France, where it became very popular. Since then, it has differed very little from today's roulette wheel. It had one zero that was red and one double zero that was black. Regardless of their color, these two fields were house pockets. If you bet on red or black and the ball falls to zero or reaches zero, you lose your bet. Later the colors were changed to green so as not to confuse the players.
The history of roulette has seen many controversies. After King Louis XV banned this game throughout France, Napoleon Bonaparte allowed roulette only in the casinos of Palais Royale. However, shortly after, Louis Philipe, in 1837, altogether banned this game in all French casinos. This led to the great popularity of roulette in Germany.
During this period, as a result of his experiences in the Bad Homburg Casino, Fyodor Dostoyevsky wrote the classic novel "The Gambler". In Germany, they also abolished the double-zero field, and roulette has had only one green field since then. This wheel continued to spread in cauldrons throughout Europe.
A period followed in the history of the roulette game when in many European countries, this game was banned. Back then, you could only play roulette in casinos in Monte Carlo. The type of roulette with only one zero was so popular that it quickly spread to other parts of the world.
