Seen on top review platforms
Players notice two things fast: whether a game feels fair, and whether it feels alive. Operators notice different things: certification, device coverage, crash reports, and whether the studio disappears mid-sprint.
You get a team that sticks around, ships on schedule, and treats QA and certification like part of the work, not a surprise at the end.
If your lobby feels generic, users act generic, they leave. We build themes, bonus logic, and pacing that fit your brand and your risk profile, then turn it into a game that behaves on real devices, not just a designer’s laptop.
Most game delays come from messy handovers and “we’ll fix it later” code. We run fixed sprints with clear acceptance criteria, proper QA, and release builds you can review early, so you’re not funding a mystery project.
Certification is paperwork plus proof. We prep builds, logs, and test evidence so labs can do their job quickly, and you don’t burn weeks translating “please provide…” emails into engineering tasks.
This is the order we follow because it avoids expensive rework: define the game, lock the math, ship the art, build the code, then certify and release. It’s less romantic than “innovation”, but it ships.
01
In one workshop, we define the theme, volatility, and feature set. Direction is clear before art or code starts: what the game is, who it’s for, and which markets you want it certified in. Less time spent reworking later.
02
Storyboards, UI kits, symbol sets, and bonus screens. Approved within five working days with rapid iterations, so animation and engineering have something stable to build against. Style locked early matters more than style being perfect early.
03
RTP, hit rate, volatility, jackpot mechanics. The math model either comes from your team or ours, balanced for the player engagement curve you want and the margin you need. Decisions get documented for the cert lab review later, so nothing has to be reconstructed from memory.
04
HTML5, WebGL, and server SDKs. The game runs in browser and mobile webview, with the server-side hooks your platform expects. Performance budget locked at the start, not as a panic the week before submission to the cert lab.
05
QA across device farms, accessibility checks, regulatory pre-tests. Builds, logs, and test evidence prepared for the certification lab so they can do their job without sending you fourteen “please provide” emails. Most of the cert turnaround time is paperwork quality, not technical quality.
06
GLI, iTech Labs, or BMM, depending on the markets you’re targeting. Once certified, the game ships into your lobby through a single API. Documentation handed over so your team and ours can operate it together post-launch. Live ops doesn’t end on launch day, it starts there.
We’ve been building and maintaining digital products long enough to know what breaks, what scales, and what “urgent” actually means.
Studio Ubique designs and builds casino game frontends and supporting platforms for startups, operators, and game studios. Strong on UI, animation, performance, and platform integration. Math models and lab certification: either ours, yours, or a partner we coordinate with. The case that’s probably closest to your needs is on the 3D roulette page, where we handled UI, animation, WebSocket realtime, and platform integration end-to-end.
The questions that come up most often, answered here. Yours not among them? Just ask, there's a human on the other end.
HTML5 slots are the most common request: video slots, classic three-reel, multi-line with bonus features. We also build crash games, instant-win titles, scratchcards, and table game frontends (blackjack, roulette, baccarat). The 3D roulette case is the strongest reference point. For math design (RTP, hit rate, volatility curves, bonus frequency, jackpot mechanics), Studio Ubique works in three modes: your math team provides the model and we implement it, our team designs the math in collaboration with you, or we coordinate with a specialist math partner for high-volatility slots and progressive jackpot products. The honest answer is that pure math-first slot design isn’t where our portfolio is deepest. Where we’re strong: frontend, animation, performance, integration, and helping the math come through in a game that feels right on a phone. Our gaming case studies show the work in production.
Project scope varies more in casino game development than in any other vertical. Frontend-only engagements (UI, animation, platform integration for an existing or partner-provided game) sit closer to Studio Ubique’s standard range, around €15.000 to €40.000 per title. Full game development including math design, art, code, certification preparation, and lobby integration runs €60.000 to €150.000+, often with partners handling math and cert layers. Hourly rates are €60 to €65 across all roles. The variables that move budget most: number of jurisdictions you want certified in (each adds cert cost and turnaround), bonus complexity, custom art versus library art, and whether the math model is provided or designed. A short call with your target markets and game concept is usually enough to give a realistic range.
We prepare builds for GLI (Gaming Laboratories International), iTech Labs, and BMM Testlabs, which between them cover most regulated markets including the UK (UKGC), Malta (MGA), Netherlands (KSA), Sweden (Spelinspektionen), Denmark (Spillemyndigheden), Curaçao, and most US state regulators. The lab work itself happens at the lab, not at Studio Ubique. What we do: prepare submission packages (builds, RNG documentation, math model documentation, test evidence, paytables) so labs can review without back-and-forth. Average lab turnaround for a well-prepared slot game submission is three to six weeks. Poorly prepared submissions often double that. For jurisdiction-specific requirements (responsible gaming features for NL KSA, autoplay restrictions for UKGC, mandatory display elements in Sweden), we build to spec from the start instead of retrofitting after the lab flags issues.
A frontend-only project (game logic and math provided, we build the UI, animation, and integration) takes six to ten weeks. A full slot game from concept through certification and lobby integration runs four to seven months: four to six weeks for math and game design alignment, three to four weeks for art production, six to ten weeks for engineering, two to three weeks for QA, plus three to six weeks for lab certification turnaround. Multi-jurisdiction certification runs in parallel where labs allow, sequential where they don’t. The biggest variance is rarely the build itself. It’s how clean the cert submission is when it goes in, and how responsive the lab is during review. Studio Ubique works in two-week sprints with playable demos throughout, so operators can review the game before cert submission rather than at the end.
Most modern casino platforms expose game integration through a single API: SoftSwiss, EveryMatrix, BetConstruct, Pronet Gaming, GR8 Tech, Slotegrator, Hub88. Studio Ubique builds games with a clean game-server SDK that any of those platforms can call: round initiation, betting, result calculation, balance updates, history logging. For aggregator integrations (your single API call reaches dozens of game studios), we deliver games in the format the aggregator expects: usually a wrapper around our game-server SDK plus jurisdiction-specific config flags. For direct integration with custom platforms, the work depends on the platform’s auth model, currency support, and reporting requirements. Our broader development services cover the platform-side integration work if you need that too, not just the game-side hooks.
Casino games need active ops after launch. Bonus frequency tuning, volatility adjustments based on actual player behaviour, A/B testing of new bonus features, monitoring crash rates and frame rate dips on specific device models, and responding to lab requests for re-certification when local regulations change. Studio Ubique offers post-launch ops as a monthly retainer in three tiers: Care tier for stable games needing security patches and OS compatibility (Android and iOS updates break things every few months), Growth tier for active iteration on bonus features and game tuning, Partnership tier for studios with ongoing product roadmaps. Without ops, casino games typically lose 20-30% of their initial revenue curve within six months as they fail to adapt to player feedback and platform changes. Our broader maintenance and support page covers the structure these tiers follow.
