Jack and the Beanstalk on a phone
This one makes you turn the phone. 1.7 s to load, and no upright build exists.
The phone check
Sideways is the only layout and the buttons are built for it. Fine in two hands, awkward hanging off a pole on the subway. The demo pulls about 8 MB before the first tap registers, which on a poor bar is where the 1.7 s goes. Getting money back out is a separate count and we keep it at cashout.
One build, one return figure
One build, 96.28%, no variants. Worth appreciating: 123 of the 306 titles on this board carry two or three return configurations and look identical in all of them, so this is one of the few pages where the number is simply the number.
Where it sits on the board
On the phone score it lands 236 of 306. Orientation carries the most weight, the wait carries the next, the buttons carry the rest. It arrives 0.4 s quicker than the 2.1 s median across all 306 titles.
NetEnt has 24 titles on this board, 14 of them upright, with a median load of 2.6 s.
What the game is
A 2013 release from NetEnt. Board is 5x3, 20 lines, the mechanic is walking wilds. Fairy-tale adventure with walking wilds that re-spin as they move across the reels and treasure-collection free spins with upgraded wilds.
High volatility, so treat the demo as a look at the rhythm and not at the maths. Twenty dollars buys around 100 spins at the C$0.20 floor. Ceiling is 3,000x and it is not going to happen to you.
