The term 'Roulette' is French and in essence it means 'small wheel'.

When brought over to America, the '0' version of roulette was abandoned in favour of the '00' version of roulette. Today, in order to distinguish between these two variations, the '00' version is called the American Wheel whilst the '0' version the European Wheel.
