New Hippodrome Online Casino

February 28, 2013

This is actually one of the most interesting bits of news we have reported on for quite some time. Anybody who has ever been out for the evening in London in the last couple of decades will know of The Hippodrome. This classic London night spot has been popular for over 30 years!

The Hippodrome is now intending to launch its very own online casino site, and it is doing so in rather an interesting fashion. The new Hippodrome online casino will be a partnership of equals, between several online gambling companies. The Hippodrome online casino will be operated by Betway. Microgaming will be providing the online casino software platform, and PokerStars will be adding live head to head online poker. This is the first time that PokerStars and Microgaming have worked together, and this is quite a major new collaboration between two online gambling giants, with Betway hold the reins.

George Constantinou, who is the Director of Online Operations for The Hippodrome, has said that, “We have put a huge amount of effort into creating a true synergy between the clubhouse and our online offer, including the breadth of gaming available and the look and feel of the site. We have even incorporated photography of the Hippodrome itself so players can recognise rooms and locations throughout the venue.”

How cool is this? An online casino that aims to recreate the real world venue that it is based around, including key rooms and features. We love this idea and we are sure that this will be a massive hook for U.K. online gambling fans.

The Hippodrome is the largest casino in the U.K. and opened its doors in 2012. The Hippodrome was originally a night club, but had begun to lose out to smaller, trendier clubs, and eventually was redeveloped into a real world casino. The addition of an online casino site that follows The Hippodrome theme is a great idea. Add to this the fact that the very capable Betway till be running the online casino, and that casino games will be provided by Microgaming, and online poker by PokerStars, and you really do have a recipe for success. We will definitely check out The Hippodrome online casino when it opens it virtual doors.
