      The name Roulette finds its origins in the French language, deriving from the term ro()lette, which translates to little wheel. This name carries with it a rich history closely linked to the popular casino game of the same name. Originating in 18th century France, Roulette quickly gained popularity and became a staple in casinos across Europe.

      The game itself consists of a spinning wheel with numbered compartments and a small ball. Players place bets on where they believe the ball will land, adding an element of chance and excitement to the experience.
