What mobile does well
- Play anywhere: a browser is enough, no download needed.
- Quick payments: Interac e-Transfer opens in your banking app; Apple Pay and Google Pay take a tap.
- Built for touch: most new slots are designed for portrait play.
Where mobile falls short
- Small screen: live tables and paytables are harder to read.
- Connection: a dropped signal mid-hand in a live game can cost you a decision.
- Easy to overplay: the casino is always in your pocket, so set limits.
What desktop does well
- Large, sharp graphics for live dealers and 3D slots.
- Room for several windows: the game, the terms and a strategy chart.
- Easier to read and keep the terms and your transaction history.
The downside is that you are tied to one place, which some players find helps them keep sessions short.
