The American wheel has an extra pocket, the double zero, and it costs you almost twice as much as the European wheel for an identical game. No feature, no presentation and no 3D rendering compensates for that.

Evoplay publishes no RTP, and in a table game it is unnecessary: the rules are the return. On a 38-pocket wheel a straight-up number still pays 35:1, but the true odds are now 37:1 — two missing units instead of one. That is the whole story, and BGaming’s American Roulette publishes exactly 94.74%, which confirms it.
The one bet that is even worse
The American layout adds a five-number bet — zero, double zero, 1, 2 and 3 — which carries a house edge of 7.89%. It exists only on this wheel and it is the worst bet in the game. There is no situation in which it is the right choice.
So why play it at all?
An honest question with an honest answer: there is no mathematical reason. If the European wheel is available in the same lobby — and from the same studio, it usually is — playing this one is choosing to pay 2.56 points more for the same experience.
The presentation is genuinely nicer in the 3D version. That is a real preference and we are not going to pretend it is worthless. It just has a price, and the price is on this page.
Is it rigged?
The pocket is determined when betting closes and the animation plays it back. The generator is tested by independent laboratories before Evoplay can supply an operator. Certification covers the wheel, never the casino — see our comparison for licences and unresolved complaints.

Open both wheels side by side in demo mode and look at the layouts. Seeing the extra pocket is more persuasive than reading about it.
