Cohort-baseline mobile performance. Video Poker tables load slightly faster than slots due to the simpler render payload.
The Amex mobile cashier flow
Card-direct entry via iCloud Keychain autofill on iPhone 15 Pro:
- Tap Buy Coins in dashboard (1 second).
- Select pack tile (1 second).
- Tap American Express (1 second).
- iCloud Keychain prompt (1 second).
- Autofill confirmation (1 second).
- Card details fill (instant).
- Tap Pay (1 second).
- Card processor confirmation (4 seconds).
- Coins credit (within 2 seconds).
End-to-end with autofill roughly 12 seconds. Without autofill roughly 38 seconds.
The PayPal mobile flow
PayPal deep-link on iPhone 15 Pro: roughly 17 seconds end-to-end.
In-house slots on mobile
Loyal Royal’s proprietary slot titles render at 60 fps on iPhone 15 Pro and Pixel 8 over Wi-Fi 802.11ax. Touch latency from reel-spin tap to reel-start measured roughly 115 milliseconds. The in-house engine optimization runs at cohort-baseline mobile performance.
Video Poker on mobile
Jacks-or-Better and Deuces Wild Video Poker render cleanly on phone screens. The card-tap-to-hold interaction operates without measurable lag. The card-deal animation runs at 30-60 fps.
The Video Poker mobile experience is structurally important because Video Poker requires precise card-selection input. Touch responsiveness in the hold-card interaction is critical for strategic play. Loyal Royal’s mobile Video Poker maintains the precision required.
For sustained Video Poker sessions on mobile, the strategy-input precision matches the desktop browser experience.
No push notifications
Loyal Royal does not request iOS Safari Push Notification or Android Chrome Notification permission.
No PWA shell
Safari Add to Home Screen produces a launcher shortcut.
Mobile screen real-estate
iPhone 15 Pro at 6.1 inches and Pixel 8 at 6.2 inches deliver the 2-category lobby cleanly. The Video Poker table renders at full visibility without excessive zoom requirements.
Mobile data usage
| Activity | 30-minute cellular data |
|---|---|
| In-house slot session | 20 MB |
| Jacks-or-Better Video Poker session | 14 MB |
| Deuces Wild Video Poker session | 14 MB |
Video Poker data payloads sit notably lighter than slot payloads due to the simpler card-deal animation versus slot reel-spin animations.
Negatives we documented on mobile
- No Apple Pay or Google Pay biometric checkout. Mobile-wallet absence is the structural cashier gap on phones.
- No native iOS or Android app. Cohort norm.
- No push notifications.
- 2-category lobby is narrow for sustained sessions versus competitors with 7-11 category lobbies (Shweeps, PlayFame).
