If you want the short answer: there is a cheaper way to play the same game. This table is listed at 94.7% RTP, which is about 2.3 percentage points below the average across the roulette titles on this site, and the title points to a double-zero wheel. A free demo is available, so you can look at the layout and the paytable without spending anything.
That does not make american roulette (woohoo) a broken game. It makes it an expensive one relative to its own stablemate, and the difference is entirely structural rather than a matter of luck or timing.
What kind of roulette is American Roulette (Woohoo)?
The name points to an American wheel: 38 pockets, numbers 1 to 36 plus a single zero and a double zero. On that layout the standard house edge is 5.26% on almost every bet, and 7.89% on the five-number basket bet that covers 0, 00, 1, 2 and 3. That is nearly double the 2.70% you face on a single-zero European wheel.
Treat that as a strong hint rather than a confirmed rule. FACTS gives the title and the provider, not the pocket count on the rules screen. Open the game’s own rules or help panel and count the pockets before you bet real money — it takes ten seconds and it is the single most important thing you can check about any roulette table.
What FACTS does not tell you is equally worth naming. There is no information here about table limits, whether a racetrack or call bets are offered, whether the game supports side bets, or when it was released. Limits matter most: they cap what you can bet on a straight number and they determine how quickly any staking plan runs into a wall. You will need to read those off the table itself.
Return to player and house edge
Woohoo Games lists this table at 94.7%. Over a long run of spins, that figure describes what the game returns in aggregate; the missing 5.3% is the house’s share. Notice how closely that lines up with the 5.26% theoretical edge of a standard double-zero wheel — the listed RTP is consistent with a plain American layout with no partage-style refund on even-money bets.
Context helps here. The average RTP across roulette titles on this site is close to 97%, and Woohoo’s own two-game roulette average sits at 96.0%. This table is the lower half of that pair. Its sibling, European Roulette (Woohoo), is listed at 97.3% — same provider, same interface family, a 2.6-point difference in what the game keeps.
To put that in money: on 100 spins of £1 flat stakes, a 5.3% edge expects to cost about £5.30, while a 2.7% edge expects to cost about £2.70. Both are expectations over long runs, not predictions for your session. Short runs swing far wider than either number in both directions.
Reading the Woohoo Games paytable before you bet
Roulette paytables are short, and that is why people skip them. Do not. Three things are worth confirming on screen.
- Pocket count. Count zeros. One zero means 37 pockets and a 2.70% edge; two zeros mean 38 pockets and 5.26%.
- Zero handling on even-money bets. If the rules mention La Partage or En Prison, the even-money edge falls sharply. Nothing in FACTS says this table offers either, and a 94.7% listing suggests it does not.
- Payout multiples. Straight-up should read 35:1, split 17:1, street 11:1, corner 8:1, line 5:1, column and dozen 2:1, even-money 1:1. Any table paying less than these on a standard bet is worse than the wheel maths alone implies.
If a Lightning-style multiplier format is offered, remember the trade: multiplier funding comes out of the base straight-up payout, so the effective return on straight bets is not the classic figure. FACTS does not indicate any multiplier layer here, so assume classic payouts until the game’s own screen says otherwise.
Bet coverage, variance and session length
Every standard bet on an American wheel carries the same 5.26% expected cost. What changes is the shape of the ride. Covering one number gives you rare, large hits; covering eighteen gives you frequent, small ones. Neither is a better deal mathematically.
| Bet | Pockets covered (of 38) | Payout | True odds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Straight-up | 1 | 35:1 | 37:1 |
| Split | 2 | 17:1 | 18:1 |
| Street | 3 | 11:1 | 11.67:1 |
| Basket (0, 00, 1, 2, 3) | 5 | 6:1 | 6.6:1 |
| Corner | 4 | 8:1 | 8.5:1 |
| Line | 6 | 5:1 | 5.33:1 |
| Column or dozen | 12 | 2:1 | 2.17:1 |
| Red, black, odd, even, high, low | 18 | 1:1 | 1.11:1 |
The gap between each payout and its true odds is the house edge made visible. Straight-up pays 35:1 against true odds of 37:1 on this wheel — two pockets of shortfall, versus one on a European layout, which is exactly why the edge doubles. The basket bet is the one outright trap: at 7.89% it is the worst standard wager on the felt, and there is no reason to place it.
Patterns, hot numbers and the gambler’s fallacy
An RNG wheel has no memory. Each spin is independent of every spin before it, so five reds in a row tells you nothing about the sixth. No number is ever due, hot or cold, and a scoreboard of previous results has no predictive value whatever.
The same applies to staking systems. Martingale, Fibonacci, D’Alembert, Labouchere, waiting for a run before jumping in — none of them alter expected value, because expected value is fixed per spin by the paytable. Doubling after losses does not change the 5.26%; it changes the distribution, turning many small losses into rarer but much larger ones, and it pushes you toward the table maximum precisely when your stake is at its highest. If you have arrived here searching for a system that works, the honest answer is that there is not one, on this table or any other.
The only lever that genuinely moves your expected cost is choosing a wheel with fewer pockets and better zero rules. That is a choice you make before the first spin, not during a session.
Trying the demo
A free demo is available for this table, so you can load it with no download, learn the layout, place a few bets and, most usefully, read the rules screen to confirm the pocket count and payout multiples. Demo credits behave like real ones for the purposes of understanding the interface. They do not predict real-money outcomes — a good or bad demo run says nothing about what follows.
Play for entertainment, not income. This is 18+ only. Set a budget before you open the game, treat it as the cost of the entertainment, and stop when it is gone rather than chasing it back. If gambling stops feeling like a choice, use the deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion tools your operator provides.
While comparing, the demos for European Roulette (Red Tiger) and European Roulette Pro are both listed at 97.3%, and playing them back to back makes the structural difference obvious.
Verdict on American Roulette (Woohoo)
This is a competent, plainly presented roulette table with an RTP figure that works against you. At 94.7% it sits about 2.3 points below the roulette average here and 2.6 points below its own single-zero sibling from the same provider, and that difference comes from the wheel layout rather than anything the game does badly.
Play it if you specifically want the double-zero format, or to see the basket bet in context. If you simply want to play roulette, a single-zero table returns more per stake for exactly the same gameplay. Confirm the pocket count, limits and payout multiples on the rules screen first — FACTS covers none of those, and they are the details that decide how a session actually plays.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I play American Roulette (Woohoo) for free?
Yes, a free demo is available, so you can load the table with no download and place bets using demo credits. It is the best way to confirm the pocket count and payout multiples on the rules screen before risking money. Demo results do not predict real-money outcomes in any way.
What is the American Roulette (Woohoo) RTP?
Woohoo Games lists this table at 94.7%. That is roughly 2.3 percentage points below the average RTP across the roulette titles on this site, and 2.6 points below the provider's own European Roulette (Woohoo) at 97.3%. Over long play, the missing 5.3% is the house's share.
Which wheel is this and what is the house edge?
The title points to an American wheel with 38 pockets, including both 0 and 00, where the standard house edge is 5.26% and the five-number basket bet is 7.89%. The 94.7% listing is consistent with that. Confirm the pocket count on the game's rules screen before betting.
Does any betting system work on this table?
No. Spins are independent, so Martingale, Fibonacci, D'Alembert and pattern-chasing cannot change expected value, which is fixed by the paytable. Progressions only reshape variance, replacing frequent small losses with rarer large ones while pushing you toward the table maximum. The wheel keeps no record of previous results.
How does it compare to European Roulette (Woohoo)?
The European table from the same provider is listed at 97.3% against 94.7% here, a 2.6-point gap created by the extra double-zero pocket rather than by gameplay differences. The betting layout and payouts are otherwise the familiar ones. For identical play, the single-zero version returns more per stake.
