What is a casino management app?
A casino management application is a desktop or web app that enables casino managers to manage their casino floor. Casino management applications typically include interfaces for monitoring table availability, managing employee and customer schedules, and tracking inventory. The app may also include a dashboard that gives administrators visibility into the performance of all employees.
These apps share functionalities with other gaming apps, such as puzzle games and word games. As for popular examples of casino management apps, most come from gambling-related companies like Playtech and Microgaming.

What is the typical cost to build a casino management app?
A casino management app usually costs about $37,500 to build. However, the total cost can be as low as $25,000 or as high as $50,000. A casino management app with a low number of features (also known as a minimum viable product, or MVP) will be more affordable than an app that includes all intended functionality.

How to successfully grow your casino management application
A casino management app needs to show new users that it offers a compelling value proposition by providing a user experience that is convenient, fun, and rewarding. We recommend that casino apps focus on acquiring local fans in cities where there are already established casinos, rather than trying to attract users from across the globe who are looking for a new gaming experience. Casino apps can use gamification techniques to encourage users to refer other people and play more often. For example, users might be rewarded with free chips after they’ve played certain games or after they invite their friends. To acquire new customers, a casino app should also include features like real-time game updates, detailed information on payouts and tax rates, and live chat support options.
Risks and challenges of building a casino management application
A casino management app will face both legal and reputational risks. If you offer real money gambling, then you should ensure that your app is licensed in every jurisdiction in which you wish to operate. In addition to the legal requirements, you will want to protect your brand image by ensuring that users can easily report spam or inappropriate behavior through the app.
