But yes, I know they’re definitely slower on mobile than PCs. You’re right that phones and tablets don’t have as much processing power and the touch screen is slower than a mouse and keyboard. That wouldn’t hurt too much for something like slots, where your timings are less important, though it could still be frustrating. It would be more of an issue for live dealer poker where milliseconds can really make a difference. But if you’re really struggling with lag, try ensuring your phone meets the minimum requirements for the game, that all of your software is up to date, and that you’re connected to high-speed WiFi.

The response time may be slower on mobile devices, but that’s mainly because of less powerful hardware or because of touchscreen restrictions. It doesn’t matter much on most casino games, because in most cases, you’re not required to react quickly. You should always read reviews of mobile casinos’ responsiveness, but if you are experiencing slow response times, chances are your internet connection might be to blame. Make sure you have an adequate internet connection and upgrade older mobile devices. After all, no one wants to sit around waiting to play their favorite online casinos games!
