  I think SergeM might be pointing out that's it's the total of all the numbers on a roulette wheel. Some attribute the game to have been developed by Blaise Pasacl, French philosopher, writer, and mathemetician.

  From Wikipedia:

  The first form of roulette was devised in 18th century France. Blaise Pascal introduced a primitive form of roulette in the 17th century in his search for a perpetual motion machine.^[

  Those who run the lotteries love it when players look for consistency in something that's designed not to have any. So many systems, so many theories, so few jackpot winners. 

  

  There is one and only one 'proven' system, and that is to book the action. No matter the game, let the players pick their own losers.

  That is correct.

  There are 37 cases in the European wheel, but the sum goes from 0 to 36.
  37 is a prime number and 36 can be divided by many numbers,1-2-3-4-6-9-12-18-36.
  666 can be divided by 1-2-3-6-9-18-37-74-111-222-333-666.

  There are pick 5 lottery games with 37 numbers. I consider the roulette to be a one ball lottery, with a 36/37 payout.
  It has defined betting limits and fixed payouts (no splitting).
  The triangle de Pascal kept me busy for a while.

  Einstein seems to have said that you cannot beat the wheel unless you steel from the table.

  I played roulette a few times when I was a dealer. My game was the 6+reserve/42 lotto in Belgium, that could be played for 50 eurocents, but by two combinations minimum.
  They made a 6+reserve/45 of it, and ask now 1 euro for a combination. So, I dropped out. They tried to make it more attractive by introducting full key wheel systems, but that doesn't change the odds of the game itself. They even introduced a ten number wheel for 5 or 10 euro, I believe. I can play online with no fee to pay.

  I still play some keno, 2-10/20/70, but the payouts are less than in Canada. I'd like to bet on one number sometimes, but it is not possible. Correct key numbers are a way to beat a bad payout, but in Keno you would need 4 correct key numbers.
