Online Game Creators: Any useful APIs/SDKs to avoid recreating the wheel/

I'm looking to implement a free social table game that I would eventually convert to RM. During research I've found that it is best not to reinvent the wheel when setting up a RM site - generally using a software provider that has already handled payments, security, etc is ideal.

However, on the social gaming side - are there any APIs/SDKs out there that that would allow quality custom table game development? I.E. - would already have some of the GUI laid out and basic card/betting calls.

Any help would be appreciated!

RM = real money? That's a huge undertaking. I write demo's for games, but I wouldn't really know where to start if I intended to turn something into a real money internet game at some point. If it helps, there's a node module for the 2+2 hand evaluator. https://github.com/chenosaurus/poker-evaluator
