RLSH ran a mobile-vs-desktop head-to-head across 12 slot titles on three PH-accepting operators. Tests were run on Filipino-typical handsets (Vivo mid-tier, Realme entry-tier, iPhone 12) and desktop Chrome/Edge on Cebu ISP connections.

| Surface | Median first-spin latency | P90 |
|---|---|---|
| Desktop | 1.9s (winner) | 3.8s |
| Mobile | 3.4s | 7.1s |
Interaction row
Once the slot loads, desktop and mobile run within 0.2 seconds of each other for individual spin responses. Mobile wins the cash-out trigger speed because mobile GCash deep-linking is instant while desktop requires a QR scan handoff.
Verdict
Desktop is the head-to-head winner on first-load latency for Filipino-typical connections. Mobile is the winner on cash-out UX friction. For a Filipino player optimising session startup, pick desktop. For end-of-session cash-out speed, pick mobile.
