There's a few options you could use to code a poker site. I believe it's possible in HTML5, C++, and #C. You can also use Unity which is a game engine, and uses lots of pre-built functions.

What programming language is the best solution for coding a poker room?
 
Poker is a multiplayer game that requires precise technology that can handle real-time data transactions as well as provide proper security, which is needed to save the players data and online transactions. For a new poker operator, it's very challenging to choose the right technology,to develop their online poker software. There are various technologies that can be used to build quality online poker software, such as HTML5, React JS, Cocos Creator, and Unity 3D. The first question we can ask as developers is about your needs, and that will decide the technology we can use to build a platform.

Suppose you're looking for a single CodeBase that can create mobile applications, browser applications, and executable files for various OS. In that scenario, you can use any one from Unity 3D or Cocos Creator. These cross-platform solutions are very good for game development, but they also have some instructions with browsers, and the generated builds are quite heavy. Also nowadays, to keep crypto as one of the leading payment methods, you must have Web3 integrations, and for this, this cannot be the best choice.

The trend is going with HTML5 browser-based poker solutions that can run from any device irrespective of any OS and are also very easy to integrate with any existing casinos or connect so many third-party games, even adding more games to the same platform. It's very easy to deploy a poker either on a subdomain or calling all those in iFrame that will be very much supported with the mobile browsers. Desktop browsers are, you can say, very suitable for blockchain and Web 3 technology.

So the technology depends on the purpose, as if you're looking to build a platform with multi-games, you should go for HTML5. If you want to just focus on the poker only and want to offer a very interactive user interface, you should go for Unity and Cocos Creator. PokerScript is a company that provides online poker game development consultancy as well as software built on all these technologies following the microservice architecture along with the poker API that can be very helpful to do any kind of integrations in respect of technology.
