Vertical Roulette: Gaming1's European Roulette in Portrait mode
Vertical Roulette is a European roulette variant built for mobile. It displays in portrait mode. You bet with one hand, thumb on the screen. The principle stays the same as classic online roulette: one ball, one wheel and 37 pockets. You'll find this table game at the best online casino. The single zero sets the return to player at 97.30%.
What is Vertical Roulette?
The game is developed by Gaming1. It's a full European roulette. The wheel has 37 pockets: the numbers 0 to 36. There is only one zero, as on every European wheel. That detail matters. It sets the house edge at 2.70%. The theoretical return to player therefore reaches 97.30%.
The difference from a classic version lies in the display. The layout and the wheel are stacked vertically. The screen stays upright. The rules do not change. Only the ergonomics are rethought for the phone.
The game is based on chance. A random number generator decides the winning number. Each spin is independent of the last. Earlier numbers do not affect the next result. The return to player stays the same across many spins.
How to play roulette in portrait mode
A round takes three moves. First, choose the value of your chip. Then place that chip on a zone of the layout. You can cover a single number or a group of numbers. Finally, start the round.
The ball spins in the wheel, then stops on a number. If that number is part of your bet, you collect the set payout. Each zone of the layout matches a specific bet type. You can place several chips before a single spin. They settle together once the ball lands.
Bets and payouts in Vertical Roulette
Bets fall into two families. Inside bets target one or a few numbers. Outside bets cover wide groups. The more precise the bet, the higher the payout. Here are the payouts for each bet type:
- Straight up: a single number, payout of 35 times the bet.
- Split: two adjacent numbers, payout of 17 times the bet.
- Street: three numbers in a row, payout of 11 times the bet.
- Corner: four numbers, payout of 8 times the bet.
- Six line: six numbers, payout of 5 times the bet.
- Dozen or column: twelve numbers, payout of 2 times the bet.
- Even-money bets: red, black, odd, even, low or high, paying even money.
Even-money bets cover almost half of the numbers. The straight up stays the rarest and pays the most. The chip's position sets the bet. A chip on the line between two numbers makes a split. At the end of a row it becomes a street. So the position on the layout is enough to choose your bet type.
The traditional view and the racetrack in Vertical Roulette
The game offers two displays. The traditional view shows the usual layout. The 37 numbers sit in three columns, plus the zero pocket. That's the best-known arrangement.
The racetrack shows the wheel in a schematic way. It serves the announced bets, which follow the order of the numbers on the wheel. The Tiers covers twelve numbers opposite the zero. The Neighbours of Zero, or 0/2/3 series, cover seventeen numbers around the zero. The Orphelins gather the eight remaining numbers. This view places several chips in one move.
The racetrack follows the real order of the wheel, not the layout. Numbers next to each other on the wheel sit side by side here. So you cover a whole sector in one tap. Beginners can stay on the traditional view and switch later.
Betting limits on this roulette
The amounts are capped. The bet starts from €0.10 per chip. It rises to €80 in total. The ceiling then depends on the bet type. A straight up accepts up to €10. A split goes up to €20. A street climbs to €30. A corner reaches €40. A six line goes up to €60.
Wider bets accept more. A dozen and a column go up to €80. Each even-money bet is also capped at €80. These limits apply per zone of the layout, not to the whole round. Inside bets carry a lower ceiling because their payouts run higher.
Vertical Roulette features in portrait mode
Several shortcuts speed up play. The 'Same bet' button puts back the chips from the previous round. The 'Replay' button puts those chips back and starts the round in one click. The 'X2' button doubles the value of the placed chips. The 'Undo' and 'Remove' buttons take away a misplaced bet. All these controls stay within thumb's reach, below the wheel.
Vertical Roulette by Gaming1 combines European rules with a format built for the phone. The bets, the payouts and the two views stay identical to a classic table: only the comfort of play changes. Discover this roulette at Dragon Casino, alongside the other roulette variants.
