| Roulette
- History |
 There
are two theories as to the invention of Roulette.
Both trace the game to France in the mid 17th
Century. One of these theories connects Roulette
to a French scientist, Blaise Pascal as the
person who invented or improved the game during
a "monastic retreat" and played for the first
time in a Paris casino. The other theory relates
the game to a French monk, saying he created
it to relieve the boredom of a monastic life.
Interesting
to notice is the fact that such a popular
gambling game, if not the most popular was
brought to us by the church. Thank God for
that.
