Roulette is a casino classic, a staple in gambling venues which has been around for centuries.
In fact, the primitive forms of Roulette-like games were actually around before the first casino opened in 1638 – a far cry from the digital online Roulette games that are so popular in the modern-day!
We’re talking way back to when the ancient Greeks and Roman soldiers would spin swords, shields and other weapons in between battles, placing bets on the outcome as a way to have fun and unwind.
So, in a way, that’s where Roulette began, but the journey of the wheel we know and love today didn’t begin until 1655…
Blaise Pascal
Accredited for inventing the Roulette wheel, among many other things (like his research towards the calculator), Pascal was a French mathematician and physicist.
In 1655, Pascal attempted to defy physics and create a perpetual motion machine. This failed, but Pascal was also an avid gambler at the time, so his invention didn’t go to waste. Instead, this birthed the primitive version of today’s Roulette wheel.
Francois and Louis Blanc
The next significant milestone for Roulette was when French brothers Francois and Louis Blanc moved to Hamburg, Germany. With a background in casino gaming, the duo sought out ways to help boost the struggling city’s economy.
They did this by ingeniously removing the double zero pocket from the standard Roulette wheel, leaving only the single zero pocket and significantly lowering the house edge.
This variation of the game became increasingly popular, and as word spread, it became known as European Roulette.
The Monte Carlo Casino
It was Francois Blanc, also known as the “Magician of Hamburg” by this time, who was responsible for the building and opening of the famous Monte Carlo Casino in 1865.
After striking a deal with Monaco’s Royal family at the time, Francois played the ultimate game of chance and invested all his money into the casino.
The Casino De Monte Carlo rose in popularity, later becoming known as the first modern casino of its time – featuring the European Roulette wheel at its centre.
Online Roulette
In 1996, the first online casino to allow automated payouts opened. At this time, not many people had access to computers, but those who did, could play a few of the classic games which had only previously been available at land-based casinos.
Roulette was one of the first games available.
Over the next few years, technology developed quicker than ever before, with the invention of mobile phones – upping the demand for greater bandwidth and faster internet speeds.
More people gained access to the internet, and online casinos continued to grow alongside this demand.
The modern day
In the modern-day, playing Roulette online offers an authentic experience, just like you would get if you were playing at a brick-and-mortar establishment.
Not only can you play digital, Random Number Generator (RNG)-run games, but you can play themed variations of Roulette with special features like multipliers.
There’s even the live casino, where a real-life dealer spins the wheel, directly from a specialist studio, in real-time!

Roulette has come a long way since the game of chance first made some sort of an appearance in ancient Greek and Roman times. So, do you think you’ll be giving the wheel a spin anytime soon?
A flock of peasants took to the streets of Bungay, Suffolk yesterday.to welcome the annual Boxing Day hunt parade through the town, despite hunting with dogs being illegal since 2005.
The large gathering of the town’s underworkmen and lowerclasswomen,.bowed their heads and threw their remaining fluff at huntsmen and women – the Waveney Harriers – as they smugly paraded their wealth and savagery, trotting down Bungay High Street at dawn.
Wolf in sheep’s clothing
Despite the celebrations of Bungay Hunt, a handful of protestors waved banners. and complained loudly at the refusal of the hunt to consider them as the quarry (W.C. ‘an animal pursued by a hunter’). This reporter spoke to Craig Gafney, the protestor’s spokesperson. “We have come here today to demand that we be hunted by the horseriding toffs and their beagles. Every year we come here, ready and willing to get down on all fours.and run through the fields for them to chase us, but they always refuse on account of us apparently not being quick enough. Well, I’m sorry but you try it. Running on your hands and knees is not easy y’know, especially through heavy mud, long grass, and thicket.”
Mutton dressed as lamb
Asked why the group’s members wanted to be hunted by the rich,.Gafney replied “Well it’s to reinforce the class structure of the village isn’t it? Us underpeople know our place. We live to serve the upper classes whether it be in our humble shops,.providing them with goods like newspapers, wine, or paraffin, or working for them in their homes for minimum wage, polishing their furniture, building their fires, and drawing their curtains of an evening. All we want is for them to allow us to be hunted by them to show that they respect our place in society as we respect theirs.”
The Bungay Hunt
Ignoring the protestors, the law, and everyone else who had come along to watch, the entitled elite began their hunt with a parp of the bugle and several ‘tally-ho’s.
The banning of hunting with dogs, still allows the ‘simulation’ of hunting where mounted riders hunt an artificially laid scent. This however, is no fun as the real purpose is to corner and catch an innocent furry animal and have your dogs rip it limb from limb.
Everyone knows that this is still what happens during the Bungay hunt.
As they say… you can’t teach an old beagle new tricks.
Celebrity chef and professional ligger, Salt Bae is the new holder of the World Cup of Plonkers. He won the coveted award in a no-contest after his impressively embarrassing behaviour at the soccer World Cup final in Qatar.
Salt Bae
The Turkish restaurateur who, judging by the reviews of his food, is better at self-publicity than he is at cooking,.made a complete tit of himself, brilliantly, as the Argentinians celebrated their penalty-kick victory over France on the pitch after the game.
Too much, Salt
In a skillful demonstration of stealing the limelight from the players, Salt Bae, real name Nusret Gökçe,.grabbed hold of the world cup trophy and waved it about in front of bemused soccer fans.in acknowledgment of his achievement of being named the biggest tit at the tournament.
Quite why he was allowed onto the pitch after the game no-one knows,.but considering the entire tournament was built on dodgy money,.one can only assume that a few Qatari Riyals changed hands pitchside.
Sodium odium
Demented Salt Bae, who allegedly extracts the salt he famously uses in his meat dishes from his excessive perspiration,.had hoped to compete for the U.S. Open Cup Soccer tournament’s ‘biggest twonk’ title next year, however, after his antics in Qatar,.the tournament has announced that he is not welcome to attend… so expect to see him pitchside or playing in goal for one of the teams when the competition begins in March 2023.
A cretinous, unchristian, thief targeted the peaceful sanctuary of St Mary’s Church in Old Newton, near Stowmarket on Christmas Eve.
The heinous incident allegedly occurred while the Vicar of Dibley,.was sampling wine in preparation for family communion on 8th January 2023.
According to Suffolk police, an unidentified person tiptoed into the unlocked church at around 10.30pm,.unbeknownst to the Vicar, Revd Mel Carville who was still busy sampling the wine.
Crucifix me a drink
Once inside the church office, the safe was cracked, and churchy-type objects,. such as a 12th-century bible written in cockney rhyming slang, a silver soap dish,. a pewter box containing St.Paul’s toenail clippings, and a golden chalice once belonging to the Queen of Sheba were stolen, right under the nose of Reverend Carville who was still busy tasting the wine.
Suffolk police have asked members of the public, especially those living in rural areas, to be vigilant,.and have issued a description of a suspect of St Mary’s Church robbery, seen acting suspiciously around the time of the theft…
St Mary’s Church suspect
According to one witness, the suspect of St Mary’s Church robbery is a spirit and invisible to the human eye. Others say he is a horned male, aged between 6,000 and 100,000 years old.
Although a master of disguise who sometimes disguises himself as an angel of light,.his true appearance is said to be that of an angry blood-red beast, his head and face wreathed by flowing, tousled black hair.
He has serpents slithering out of his leathery body, mighty dragon-like wings splaying from either side of his crooked spine, and hooves instead of feet. His countenance is terrifying, with twisted features, and razor-sharp fangs splintering out of a barbarous grimace.
He is said to grip souls in each hand, before skewering them on a trident and pitching them into the flames of Hell.

After being banned from Twitter, Donald Trump decided to start “Wonder Moron”. It’s the latest social media app where you can order KFC and have a group of drones come over to your house and give you a tattoo of the Swastika.
The only way you can sign up for this social media app is if you order KFC and agree to get the Swastika tattooed on your arm, lower back, and inside your lip. Unfortunately no people of color, democrats, open minded liberals, atheists, free thinkers, or foreigners are allowed on this app.
So you might be wondering, what’s so special about this app? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. No wonder the app is called Wonder Moron.
Donald Trump app funding
Donald Trump personally tried to get funding from venture capitalist firms in silicon valley but they all declined because they thought the idea was absurd. He even went as far as kidnapping Indian software engineers to build his app for $2 dollars an hour.
Hugh Dennett, a famous British comedian poked fun at Wonder Moron’s slogan which reportedly, Trump himself came up with. The slogan is, “Women are always wondering what you’re thinking about. Don’t tell them, let them keep wondering.”
Is it a threat to Elon Musk?
Dennett later commented saying, “This slogan has nothing to do with his social media app. Is it really a social media app? More like Uber Eats for neonazis. Uber is a German word after all meaning “over”, “above”, or “accross”. The slogan should be, “The rest of the world is always wondering what this moron is thinking about doing next with his outrageous business ventures.”
Lorraine Fisher, 34, a Marketing Expert and Journalist had an extremely private conversation with a person from “Wonder Moron”. This person did not want to reveal themselves so they dressed up The Hulk, painted his body green, and had a voice modifier.
This person was also eating greasy chicken from KFC. During the interview, grease spilled on his voice modifier, which made it malfunction revealing that it was obviously Donald Trump. He was supposed to be green like the hulk but slowly during the interview, he started turning orange like “The Thing” from Fantastic four.
Conclusion
The interview ended abruptly with Trump saying, “When you agree to the terms, a group of drones will deliver a special phone with the app already installed in order to track you. You cannot download it from the app store. Also, you have to pay to use it, which is $500 per month.”
So, will you leave Twitter and move to Wonder Moron?
Matt Hancock to appear as McFly in West End Back to the Future
Disgraced celebrity MP, Matt Hancock is to appear as Marty McFly in the west end musical version of Back to the Future.
Sources close to the Musical’s production team told this reporter that it was Hancock’s ability to rewrite history rather than his acting skills that won him the part of teenage student rocker Marty McFly, portrayed by Michael J. Fox in the trilogy of films.
Hancock as McFly in West End
Hancock, who has been widely criticized for dumping his wife and kids for a gorgeous milkmaid with whom he used to work, has also been accused of re-writing history in his favour in his book, Pandemic Diaries: The inside story of Britain’s battle against Covid. In it, the potato-faced MP (or whatever he is) claimed that he broke Covid-19 lockdown restrictions not because he thought he could get away with it, or because he was too arrogant to think the rules applied to him but ‘because of love’ for his gorgeously slutty milkmaid.
You’re a slacker, Hancock
Elsewhere in the book, Hancock again revisits the past, this time to shift blame away from his own decision to release care home residents from hospitals without testing (which some people believe led to thousands of unnecessary deaths) and onto the shoulders of care home staff going about their regular duties. Great Scott!
Make like a tree, and get out of here
It remains to be seen how Hancock will fare on the west end stage but, regardless of his calibre as an actor, his skill as a politician, or his penchant for eating camel penises, he will mostly be remembered as a typical, self-publicizing politician, interested in, above all else, himself. Considering that politics is, after all, show business for ugly people, he should probably have stayed right where he was.
