Even though there were many variations of roulette games in the 18th century, the first modern roulette wheel made its appearance in 1796 in Paris. The wheel had most of the elements that we associate with today’s roulette gambling. When Europeans visited New Orleans in the early 1800s, they brought the game with them and introduced it into the casinos there. The Americans made their own version of the roulette wheel with double zero. As roulette gambling gained popularity in the United States, more Europeans came to play, especially the French since the game was banned there.
