Bundling assets for mobile devices

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions for causing one or more processors to perform operations for delivering a game-asset bundle to a client device, the operations including:

• receiving a request to retrieve a game, the first request including a device characteristic for a first device;
• determining, based at least in part on the device characteristic, whether a game-asset bundle for the game exists;
• in response to determining that the game-asset bundle for the game does not exist, assembling the game-asset bundle, wherein assembling the game-asset bundle includes assembling a plurality of game assets, and wherein assembling the plurality of game assets includes determining a game asset of the plurality of game assets based, at least in part, on the device characteristic;
• and
• providing the game-asset bundle to a source of the request;
• wherein assembling the plurality of game assets further includes:
• assembling a first subset of the game assets, the first subset of the game assets supporting a first mode of operation of the game;
• providing the first subset of the game assets to the source of the request;
• assembling a second subset of the game assets supporting a second mode of operation of the game;
• and
• providing the second subset of the game assets to the source of the request during operation of the game in the first mode of operation.

A wagering-game delivery system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a network interface device coupled to at least one of the one or more processors;
• and
• one or more memory devices coupled to at least one of the one or more processors, the one or more memory devices storing instructions that, when executed, cause a resource server to
• receive into the one or more memory devices, via the network interface device, a first request to retrieve a game, the first request including a device characteristic for a first device,
• search one or more machine-readable storage media for a game-asset bundle compatible with the device characteristic, wherein the game asset bundle includes an adapter module comprising executable code to customize the game with features specific to an operator providing a web site that receives the first request to retrieve the game,
• determine, by one or more processors, based at least in part on a result of the search and on the device characteristic, whether a game-asset bundle for the game exists,
• in response to a determination that the game-asset bundle for the game does not exist, assemble the game-asset bundle, wherein the game-asset bundle includes a plurality of game assets, and wherein the resource server is configured to assemble the plurality of game assets based, at least in part, on the device characteristic, and
• provide, via the network interface device, the game-asset bundle to a source of the first request:
• wherein the instructions, when executed further cause the resource server to:
• assemble a first subset of the game assets, the first subset of the game assets supporting a first mode of operation of the game,
• provide the first subset of the game assets to the first device,
• assemble a second subset of the game assets supporting a second mode of operation of the game, and
• provide the second subset of the game assets to the first device during operation of the game in the first mode of operation.

A wagering-game delivery system comprising:

• search one or more machine-readable storage media for a game-asset bundle compatible with the device characteristic, wherein the game asset bundle includes an adapter module comprising executable code to customize the game with features specific to an operator providing a web site that receives the request to retrieve the game,
• determine, by one or more processors, based at least in part on a result of the search and on the device characteristic, whether a game-asset bundle for the game exists,
• in response to a determination that the game-asset bundle for the game does not exist, assemble the game-asset bundle, and
• provide, via the network interface device, the game-asset bundle to a source of the request;
• and
• a portfolio server configured to provide an indication of a likelihood that the game will successfully execute on the first device.
