A portable gaming unit for playing an associated game comprises a housing and a base. The housing includes a display. A pivot joint pivotably mounts the housing to the base. An electronics assembly is mounted to one of the housing and the base for controlling input/output functions of the gaming unit. An easel is pivotably mounted to one of the housing and the base. The easel in a use orientation braces the housing against the base to enable the housing to maintain an acute angle in relation to a plane of the base. In a transport orientation, the easel allows the housing to fold against the base. The easel in the transport orientation serves as a handle for the gaming unit.
