Casino Solitaire - classic solitaire with real money stakes at VivatBet

Casino Solitaire combines the classic solitaire format with real-money stakes. The main game uses a single 52-card deck and has an RTP of 93.3%. Unlike games where a win is determined only at the end of a round, Casino Solitaire awards a payout for every card placed onto the foundation stacks.

The game is played by moving cards between columns and building the four foundation stacks from Ace to King. Winnings accumulate as cards are successfully placed on the foundations. This means that a round can generate a payout even if all 52 cards cannot be moved.

If you want to explore another type of casino game, Carnival Queen is also available at VivatBet. Its gameplay uses a different format from Casino Solitaire.

Casino Solitaire game layout and objective

Cards are dealt into 7 columns from left to right, with an increasing number of cards in each column. The final card in each column is face-up. The remaining cards form the play deck.

Four empty foundation stacks are positioned at the top of the playing area, with one foundation for each suit. Cards are placed onto these foundations in ascending order, beginning with the Ace and continuing through to the King.

The objective is to move all 52 cards to the four foundation stacks. However, completing the entire deck is not required to receive a payout. Each card successfully placed on a foundation contributes to the accumulated winnings.

The available bets range from €0.52 to €20.80. The play deck can be turned through once during the game, so the available moves must be considered carefully.

For a different casino mechanic, Sugar Rush is another game available at VivatBet.

How winnings are calculated in Casino Solitaire

The main-game payout for each card placed on a foundation is calculated as:

Bet ÷ 10.8

The selected stake therefore determines the amount paid for each successfully placed card. The maximum accumulated payout is reached when all 52 cards are moved to the foundation stacks.

For example, with a €1.04 bet, each card placed on a foundation pays approximately €0.10. If all 52 cards reach the foundations, the accumulated payout is €5.20.

Winnings accumulate throughout the game and are not voided simply because the entire deck cannot be completed.

Reactoonz uses a different payout and gameplay mechanic, making it a separate type of casino game from Casino Solitaire.

No Moves and Red or Black side bets

Casino Solitaire also offers two optional side bets: No Moves and Red or Black. These wagers are separate from the main game bet and have their own winning conditions, payouts and RTP values.

No Moves

The No Moves side bet wins when no initial move is possible immediately after the cards have been dealt.

The listed payout is 15× the side-bet stake, with a probability of approximately 1 in 17. Its RTP is 86.64%.

Red or Black

The Red or Black side bet wins when all cards at the start of the game, including the card on the play deck, are either red or black.

The payout is 200× the side-bet stake, while the probability is approximately 1 in 241. The RTP for this side bet is 83.2%.

Both side bets therefore have a lower RTP than the main Casino Solitaire game, which has an RTP of 93.3%.

Players looking for a different type of casino experience can also explore Gates of Olympus, which uses a slot-based mechanic rather than solitaire gameplay.

Casino Solitaire controls and gameplay

Casino Solitaire includes several controls designed to assist with gameplay:

• Auto Play — automatically plays the game using the optimal strategy.

• Hint — highlights an available move when one exists.

• Undo — cancels the last move and can be used once per game.

• End Game — ends the current game and returns to the bet screen. Accumulated winnings are paid out.

• Double-click — automatically makes the best available move for the selected card.

The Auto Play function uses the optimal strategy assumed when calculating the game's 93.3% RTP. It does not guarantee that all 52 cards will reach the foundations.

Demo mode and real-money play

A Casino Solitaire demo is available for players who want to learn the layout and rules without using real money. The demo follows the same core rules and mathematics as the real-money version, while its virtual balance has no financial value.

Demo winnings cannot be withdrawn or transferred to real-money play. Demo mode may also be unavailable in some jurisdictions.

Before playing for real money, players should check the current bet limits and game information displayed on the platform.
