Russian Roulette Wheel
Possible Roulette Origins
As with many games, there are competing theories as to the origin of Roulette. The most popular is that it was invented in 1655 by a French scientist called Blaise Pascal during his monastic retreat and first played in a casino in Paris.
The second is very similar and simply says that it was invented by a random French monk to alleviate the monotony of simple monastery life.
The science behind roulette is simple: there is a spinning wheel, a spinning ball, gravity, and ball bounce. These are all elements of the science known as physics. When you understand the physics of the game, you can predict the outcomes, increase your odds, and win. Definition of play Russian roulette in the Idioms Dictionary. Play Russian roulette phrase.

The third theory is that French Dominican monks invented Roulette, basing it upon an old Tibetan game in which the object was to arrange 37 animal statuettes into a magic number square of 666. The Tibetan game reportedly came from China but unfortunately, the method of play is not recorded. The monks seem to have created the game by transposing the 37 statuettes to the number 0 to 36 and arranging them randomly around the rim of a revolving wheel.

Of the 3 theories above, the third seems to lack any evidence but, cutting through the chaff, the common theme is that the game was invented in a monastery in France and it would seem reasonable to assume this is based in truth. Whether the actual monk inventor was Blaise Pascal is more open.
