Roulette has been a popular gambling game since the 18th century, making gambling parties a common sight at royal European courts. It is said to have been invented by French physicist and mathematician Blaise Pascal. Through the centuries, the game has evolved to become an iconic piece of gambling culture.
Roulette made its way to Burundi in the early 19th century, as merchants traveling from Europe brought the game with them. The game quickly became a popular pastime among Burundian nobility, and even some local tribes adopted it.
Today, Roulette is still a popular gambling choice in Burundi. While land-based casinos are available, more and more people are now turning to online sites to play.
