Casino games are a versatile form of gambling and feature a vast range of games. Some are hundreds or even thousands of years old and originate from ancient civilizations. Others are more recent innovations.
With the older games, the name of the original innovator has been lost. From the more recent game inventors, we can list:
Blaise Pascal - A 17th century French mathematician and inventor of the roulette wheel
Charles August Fey - Invented the first coin-operated slot machine in San Francisco in 1894.
Geoff Hall - Created and patented Blackjack Switch in 2009 and has invented other recent blackjack variants.
