What changes when the money is real

Tickets run from a few cents to a couple of dollars. The cheap rooms are cheap because the prize pool is small, and the ratio is broadly constant.

Check the prize split before buying a strip. A room paying 88% and a room paying 72% look identical from the lobby tile.

The floor is lower than you think

Live minimums on a phone start well below what a physical room can offer, often a dollar, and the common floor sits around C$5. Plan a session around the floor rather than around the biggest table in the lobby.

Everything settles instantly, so the balance on screen is the balance you can move. That puts the whole question back on the cashout flow, which across our board runs from three taps to eleven with a median of 5.

The cheapest bet here is free bingo room at 0%. The most expensive is progressive jackpot room at 20%. Both are on the same felt and the room does not mind which one you pick.

Rooms with a low way in

Sorted on the minimum deposit, because a first deposit is a test rather than a commitment. The routine is written up as the C$20 test.
