French Gambling Industry

The French people had been playing gambling games from the early days of their magnificent nation. Without a doubt the French had took many ancient gambling games and turned them into the modern and popular version which are accepted all over the world. A good example is baccarat, which was mainly played in Italy during the 15th century, but soon it migrated to France where the rules were transformed and Chemin de Fer was born. It's a wonderful variant of baccarat, in which the rules are less strict and the position of the banker can be purchased by other players.

Another casino game invented by the French people is the roulette. Though the exact origin of the roulette is not clear, it seems that it first appeared in France during the 17th century, and only in 1842 two Frenchmen came out with the idea to insert a "0" to the roulette wheel, these were Francois and Louis Blanc.

Another game effected by the Frenchmen is blackjack, which is believed to come from an old game named 'Vingt en Un', which stands for "21" in French. From this game blackjack was born in the seventeen century. It is evident that France and gambling have a tide relationship over the centuries, a complex tango that goes back and forth.
