FAQs
What is a Rake Chase?
Rake chases are poker promotions which are incentives for players to rake more and reward them generously for that.
What is the origin of the name Roulette?
The origin of the name “roulette” is French and it means “little wheel”. The name is derived from the fact that the game is played on a small wheel that spins around with players betting on where the ball will land. The word “roulette” was first used in its current context in the 18th century although the game itself dates back much earlier.
Who invented the game of roulette?
One of the most popular theories is that the game was invented by a French mathematician named Blaise Pascal in the 17th century. According to this theory Pascal was attempting to develop a perpetual motion machine when he inadvertently created the roulette wheel. While this story is widely circulated there is little concrete evidence to support it.
