single zero roulette wheel became
the premier game, and over the years
was exported around the world,
except in the United States where
the double zero wheel had remained
dominant. A legend says that François
Blanc supposedly bargained with the
devil to obtain the secrets of roulette.
The legend is based on the fact that
the sum of all the numbers on the
roulette wheel (from 0 to 36) is 666,
which is the "Number of the Beast".
all changed in 1842, when Francois and
Louis Blanc designed a Roulette wheel
with a single zero on it, specifically for
King Charles III of Monaco. This was a
massive deal because adding a zero
gave the house a bigger house edge.

With his kingdom facing some financial
trouble, Charles built a casino and
brought the Roulette wheel to the

The double zero wheel is found in
the U.S., Canada, South America, and
the Caribbean, while the single zero
wheel is predominant elsewhere.
In the 1900s, Roulette made its

bigger edge, a double zero was
added to the Roulette wheel. That
means that instead of 37 numbers,
the American Roulette wheel would
have 38 numbers (1 through 36, 0,
and 00).
