Cross-platform casino solutions
Introduction
Cross-platform solutions allow you to develop game logic and UI once and launch the application on the web, in desktop clients and on iOS/Android. This reduces the cost of supporting different codebases, speeds up the output of new features and provides a unified user experience.
1. Progressive Web App (PWA)
Service Worker and Cache API: offline access to lobby and history, fast cold start.
Web App Manifest: "install" on the screen, run in standalone mode without browser chrome.
Push notifications: Bring players back when new promotions and sessions end.
Background Sync - Saves bets when the network is lost and sends them automatically when they are restored.
2. Electronic desktop clients (Electron, Tauri)
Electron: Chromium + Node. js, a single JavaScript stack. Native module support (e.g. HSM clients for transaction signing).
Tauri: Rust kernel and WebView2; smaller binary size and higher safety.
PWA integration: packaging the PWA version into a desktop application without rewriting the UI.
3. Mobile frameworks
3. 1 React Native
Common JavaScript code: UI library of components, access to native APIs via a bridge.
Hot reboot: accelerated development cycle.
WebView connection: for WebGL slots and spins without native rendering.
3. 2 Flutter
Dart-VM and native rendering engine: predictable performance.
Widget approach: unified markup for iOS and Android, easy customization of animations.
Plugin ecosystem: integration with payment SDKs and push services.
4. Game engines and WebAssembly
Unity WebGL: assembly of 3D slots for browser and desktop.
Unreal Engine Pixel Streaming: Streaming high-quality graphics to weak devices.
Rust/C + + → WASM: transferring performance-critical RNG and physics modules to WebAssembly, calling from any JS environment.
5. Server cross-platform stack
gRPC microservices: one contract specification for all clients (web, mobile, desktop).
GraphQL facade: a single API endpoint with an adaptive number of fields for the device.
Universal JavaScript (Node. js + Deno) - common business logic in one repository.
6. CI/CD and build for all platforms
Single repository (monorepo): linking and test rules common to all packages.
GitHub Actions/GitLab CI: assembly matrix: web-bundle, desktop-installer (NSIS/Snap), iOS IPA, Android APK/AAB.
Arti fact Repository: storing versions of PWA, Electron builds and mobile assemblies.
Over-the-Air updates: CodePush for React Native, Firebase Remote Config for parameters.
7. Architectural patterns
Feature Flags: Include new UI elements/games on all platforms at the same time.
Shared components: a library of UI components (Storybook) with adaptation to CSS modules, Tailwind or ThemeProvider.
Domain-driven design: business logic separate from framework-specific layers.
8. Security and sandboxing
Content Security Policy (CSP): strict rules for PWA and Electron.
Native Code Signing: signature of desktop and mobile assemblies, TLS-pinning for all API calls.
Isolated WebView: running provider content in sandbox frames with limited rights.
9. Performance and optimization
Shared cache-layer - Caches API responses shared between web and desktop via Service Worker or Electron-Storage.
Tree-shaking and code splitting: minimizing the frontend bundle for PWA/mobile.
GPU acceleration: WebGL and Flutter rendering interface games and lobby.
Conclusion
Cross-platform solutions combine PWA, desktop skins and hybrid/native mobile applications into a single ecosystem. A common core of business logic, UI libraries, architectural patterns and CI/CD automation allow you to quickly deploy and maintain a casino application on all target devices, while maintaining performance, security and a single user experience.
