The Best Mobile Slots that Look Great in Portrait Mode
If you’re the kind of gamer who enjoys playing slots from their smartphone rather than their computer, you probably feel most comfortable using your device in portrait mode . However, the vast majority of slots are still only optimised for use with landscape orientation.
Of course, there’s nothing wrong with having to turn your phone around to play in landscape mode – but, we do admit that it’s a lot more convenient when you don't have to turn your phone around. So, here are a few of our favourite mobile slots that have been optimised for play in portrait mode.
Jammin Jars
Jammin Jars is a Push Gaming-powered online slot with an 8x8 layout. Since the game takes place on a square grid, it inherently looks good in both portrait and landscape mode. If you’re not already familiar with Jammin Jars, this online slot features a Cluster format where you can land winning combinations by matching symbols in groups. It features multipliers, giant symbols and free spins – along with a whopping 20,000x top prize.
Power Plant
Power Plant is one of the first-ever portrait-first online slot games. This game is played on a set of reels that is much longer than it is wide, making it look perfect in portrait mode. It comes equipped with stacked wilds, which trigger re-spins that can activate various features like extra wilds, nudges and transforming symbols.
Ecuador Gold
ELK Studios’ Ecuador Gold slot is an exciting game with cascading symbols and reels that expand upwards as you land wins. It starts out 4096 winning ways, and you could potentially activate up to 262,144. Big Symbols are present in this game, which clear away smaller symbols to help you earn impressive payouts.
Reactoonz
Like Jammin Jars, Reactoonz takes place on a 7x7 grid, which ensures that this slot looks great in portrait mode as well as in landscape mode. There are some great bonus features available in this slot, most of which add new wilds to the game to help you create some fantastic winning combinations.

Thor’s Lightning
Powered by Red Tiger Gaming, Thor’s Lightning is an online slot with a 7x7 symbol format. On a mobile device in portrait mode, the reels take up most of the screen, with the spin button and all of your settings along the bottom of the reels – so, it’s comfortable to play in this orientation.
When it comes to bonus features in this slot, there are plenty. There is a free spins bonus where only high-paying symbols land on the reels, and a re-spin round with only scatters. During the base game, there’s also the potential to turn low-paying symbols wild and nudge symbols to land wins.
Da Vinci Diamonds Dual Play
With two sets of reels stacked on top of each other, Da Vinci Diamonds Dual Play naturally looks great in portrait mode. This online slot features Tumbling Reels, where winning symbols disappear and new symbols take their places. The two sets of reels combine to offer 40 paylines, which expand to 60 during the free spins bonus.
Gemix
Gemix from Play n Go is another fun match-style online slot, and its layout is perfect in portrait mode. It features a cute fantasy theme, and comes equipped with a wide range of bonus features. The Crystal Charge metre causes symbols to be destroyed and transformed while clearing World Patterns triggers different types of wilds.
Archangels Salvation
Archangels Salvation is the first 100-payline slots game from NetEnt. The game features a longer set of reels, so it’s ideal for play on mobile devices in portrait mode. There are two special wild features in this slot, where players can add extra wilds or expanded wilds to the game, and up to 25 free spins can be earned during the bonus round.
Special Mention for Play n Go’s Left-Hand Mode
There are quite a few Play n Go titles that are ideal for play in portrait mode, including Moon Princess , Rise of Olympus and Energoons, the developer has also made its landscape slots more easily accessible for mobile players. Most of the developer’s slots feature Left-Hand Mode, which allows you to change where the spin button is. It’s only a small feature, but it does make a difference for left-handed players.
