Zero is zero in roulette. Professionals agree that it is this number that brings the gambling institution the greatest profit. The first roulette, and hence the first Zero, appeared in 1796. Even then in many casinos roulettes were installed, which were very similar to modern ones. Initially, the roulette was also a symbol of a double zero, which significantly reduced the player’s chances against the casino. The idea to remove the double zero symbol from the tape measure belongs to the Blanc brothers, who hoped that the cancellation of the double zero would attract additional attention to their casinos. Due to the disappearance of Zero’s double profit from casino turnover fell from 5.5 percent to 2.7 percent.
Today in the United States is especially popular American roulette, in which the double zero is preserved. In Europe, they prefer to play roulette with one zero.
