This is when the ball hits particular diamonds more often than others. Almost every wheel has dominant diamonds. The most common situation is a wheel with two vertical dominant diamonds. Roulette wheel manufacturers and casinos make every effort to prevent dominant diamonds from occurring. The roulette wheel number plate is where the roulette numbers are depicted. All wheels look fairly similar in this area of the wheel but players should always be aware that there are some wheels where the number plate is adjustable and can be rotated during the casino downtime. Vertical Roulette VIP is a roulette game by Gaming1. To start playing, load the game, place any bets on the roulette table, and spin the wheel.

Riverboat Gambler is a gambling themed pinball machine produced by Williams. Pinball machine designer Mark Ritchie reportedly sings the song that plays during the game, whose gravel-voiced, New Orleans-style male voice sounds similar to Louis Armstrong.[1]
Description[edit]
In the center of the head of the machine, a vertical roulette wheel operates more like the Wheel of Fortune than an actual roulette wheel and does not have a ball. 7 of 16 sections are black, 7 are red, which alternate, with two green spaces that have stars on opposite sides. Located directly above the roulette wheel, a four digit display keeps track of virtual chips. The player uses chips earned on the playfield to bet on the roulette wheel.
There is an easter egg in the game. With game on, and ball at plunger, press and hold the Red and Black buttons, then press PASS 3 times, Black 3 times, Red 3 times, and Green 3 times. The display will shimmer, then press Black and Red together. The display will display 'HELLO WORLD'.[2]
