An introduction to expected value and house edge. Both describe the same quantity from different directions: the proportion of each wager retained on average across a very large sample. Multiplying the edge by rounds per hour and by stake converts a percentage into an hourly cost, which is the form that makes different games genuinely comparable.

A look at bankroll arithmetic. Dividing a session balance by the intended stake gives the number of rounds available, and comparing that figure against a game's rhythm shows whether the two are compatible. High volatility titles need considerably more rounds than low volatility ones to be experienced as designed, which is why stake size matters more than most players expect.
