Red Door Roulette has two important published RTP references: the Loto-Québec rules PDF dated 2024-04-18 lists 97.30% for all listed bets except Straight Up, which is 97.09%, and the same PDF gives Straight Up as 96.50% if a winning amount exceeds that table’s \$500,000 payout cap. These are operator-specific figures for a specific product/version, not a universal value for every live table, so the first thing to check on your own table is Help/Paytable and Bet Limits. [Loto-Québec rules PDF](https://assets.lotoquebec.com/ressources/assets/blt8296e79a7001648c/bltc70b98d141802f5f/67e6d7eaf9f87b5913c4f746/Red_Door_Roulette_rules_en.pdf)

## What RTP and house edge mean in Red Door Roulette

RTP is the long-run share of turnover returned to players by the published paytable, while house edge is the complement, or $$1-\text{RTP}$$. For conventional single-zero roulette, the baseline math is $$\frac{36}{37}=97.297\ldots\%$$ RTP and $$\frac{1}{37}=2.702\ldots\%$$ house edge. Red Door Roulette sits in that same roulette framework, but the published operator rules separate Straight Up from the rest of the listed bets. [Evolution product page](https://games.evolution.com/live-casino/live-roulette/red-door-roulette/) [Loto-Québec rules PDF](https://assets.lotoquebec.com/ressources/assets/blt8296e79a7001648c/bltc70b98d141802f5f/67e6d7eaf9f87b5913c4f746/Red_Door_Roulette_rules_en.pdf)

Do not confuse RTP with the gross return from a single winning bet. In the rules, Straight Up is listed at 19–3,999:1 profit odds, but 19:1 is a profit figure, not the total amount returned. For a 1-unit ordinary Straight Up win at 19:1, the gross return is 20 units including the stake. That is why 19:1 does not equal the full 97.09% RTP figure.

## Which RTP and house edge values are published by bet type

The values below come from the Loto-Québec rules PDF dated 2024-04-18. They describe one specific operator/version of Red Door Roulette, so the right way to use them is to match them against your own table’s Help/Paytable and Bet Limits. [Loto-Québec rules PDF](https://assets.lotoquebec.com/ressources/assets/blt8296e79a7001648c/bltc70b98d141802f5f/67e6d7eaf9f87b5913c4f746/Red_Door_Roulette_rules_en.pdf)

| Bet type | Theoretical RTP | House edge |
|---|---:|---:|
| Straight Up | 97.09% | 2.91% |
| All listed bets except Straight Up | 97.30% | 2.70% |
| Straight Up when the win exceeds the \$500,000 payout cap | 96.50% | 3.50% |

The same PDF also lists the following profit odds: Split 17:1, Street (3 numbers) 11:1, Corner 8:1, Line (6 numbers) 5:1, Dozen/Column 2:1, and even-money bets 1:1. The example limits shown in the document are \$5 to \$1,000, and the rules say limits can change. Because of that, you should always verify the live table’s Help/Paytable, Bet Limits, and the currency used for the calculation.

## What activates the Red Door Roulette bonus

The qualifying bonus is triggered by a winning Straight Up bet on a number with a key. A covering bet such as red/black, split, dozen, column, or any other non-Straight Up wager does not on its own qualify a player for the bonus game. That distinction comes from the product structure itself, not from the ordinary roulette payout table. [Evolution product page](https://games.evolution.com/live-casino/live-roulette/red-door-roulette/) [Evolution launch release 2023-11-08](https://www.evolution.com/news/evolution-launches-red-door-roulette-combining-roulette-with-the-exhilarating-bonus-game-from-crazy-time)

Evolution’s published description says Red Door Roulette combines roulette with the Crazy Time bonus game, uses one zero/37 pockets, has 3–15 bonus numbers, random multipliers up to 20x, a qualifying Straight Up win, and a 64-segment Crazy Time wheel. That is useful product context, but it is not a published probability distribution, so it does not support claims about average key count, trigger rate, bonus EV, or multiplier frequency.

## How to calculate expected loss from RTP

Expected loss is calculated as $$\text{total turnover} \times (1-\text{RTP})$$. It is a long-run expectation, not a prediction for a specific spin or session. If turnover is 100 units, the expected loss is 2.70 units at 97.30% RTP, 2.91 units at 97.09%, and 3.50 units at 96.50%. [Loto-Québec rules PDF](https://assets.lotoquebec.com/ressources/assets/blt8296e79a7001648c/bltc70b98d141802f5f/67e6d7eaf9f87b5913c4f746/Red_Door_Roulette_rules_en.pdf)

These are long-run mathematical expectations, so recent results do not change the expectation of the next independent spin. In other words, prior outcomes do not alter the underlying RTP of the table.

Official Loto-Québec rules excerpt from 2024-04-18, page 7. It shows the payout cap and RTP lines and is useful for checking the values in a live table’s Help/Paytable; it is a document excerpt, not a live gameplay image. [Official PDF](https://assets.lotoquebec.com/ressources/assets/blt8296e79a7001648c/bltc70b98d141802f5f/67e6d7eaf9f87b5913c4f746/Red_Door_Roulette_rules_en.pdf)

## How to verify your own table without mixing up numbers

Start with the table’s Help/Paytable and note the RTP, cap, and currency used for the calculation. Then check Bet Limits and apply the correct RTP to your total turnover using the formula above. If the table follows the Loto-Québec version referenced here, use 97.30% for most listed bets, 97.09% for Straight Up, and 96.50% for Straight Up only when the winning amount exceeds the payout cap. [Loto-Québec rules PDF](https://assets.lotoquebec.com/ressources/assets/blt8296e79a7001648c/bltc70b98d141802f5f/67e6d7eaf9f87b5913c4f746/Red_Door_Roulette_rules_en.pdf)

For a quick cross-check, a general calculator like [/casino/rtp-calculator](https://toolsgambling.com/casino/rtp-calculator) can help with turnover math, but it only supports 0.1 percentage-point increments and has no Red Door Roulette feature model. That means the 97.09% Straight Up figure still needs to be handled manually.

## What the numbers do and do not tell you

These published figures show a narrow set of facts: a specific documented Red Door Roulette version has a listed RTP for the table, a separate RTP for Straight Up, and a lower Straight Up RTP when the payout cap is exceeded. RTP is a theoretical long-run expectation, not a prediction for a spin or session and not proof of individual profit. Past results also do not change the math of the next independent spin.

If you want a separate breakdown of how the bets pay, see [/blog/red-door-roulette-payouts-explained](https://toolsgambling.com/blog/red-door-roulette-payouts-explained). For broader context on roulette and RTP, [/blog/red-door-roulette](https://toolsgambling.com/blog/red-door-roulette) and [/rtp](https://toolsgambling.com/rtp) are more useful than trying to infer extra mechanics from the published RTP alone.

## FAQ

### What RTP does Red Door Roulette have?

In the Loto-Québec rules PDF dated 2024-04-18, the theoretical RTP is 97.30% for all listed bets except Straight Up, which is listed at 97.09%. The same PDF also gives Straight Up as 96.50% if the win exceeds that table’s \$500,000 payout cap.

### What triggers the Red Door Roulette bonus?

The qualifying bonus requires a winning Straight Up bet on a number with a key. A red/black, split, dozen, column, or any other covering bet does not by itself qualify a player for the bonus game.

### What does 19:1 mean?

It is a profit odds figure. A 1-unit ordinary Straight Up win at 19:1 returns 20 units gross including the stake. That is not the full 97.09% RTP figure.

### How do you calculate expected loss?

Use total turnover × (1 − RTP). For mixed turnover across bet classes, calculate each class separately: turnover for that class × (1 − that class RTP), then add the results. For 100 units of turnover, expected loss is 2.70 units at 97.30% RTP, 2.91 units at 97.09%, and 3.50 units at 96.50%. In the verified 50+50 example, expected loss is 2.805 and the weighted RTP is 97.195%.

### Does a past result change the math of the next spin?

No. Previous spins do not change the expected value of the next independent spin, and they do not turn RTP into a win frequency.

### How do you check your own table?

Open Help/Paytable, note the RTP, cap, and currency used for the calculation, then check Bet Limits and apply the table’s RTP to your total turnover. If your turnover is split across bet classes, use each class RTP separately and sum the expected losses.
