The Hippodrome Casino, in London’s Leicester Square, has announced the launch of its online casino, which has been built by Microgaming and is operated by Betway Group. The online poker will come from PokerStars and there will also be an app for mobile and tablet users.

George Constantinou, the Hippodrome’s director of online operations, said: “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.
“Online players can load their accounts if they choose to visit us in Leicester Square, and we’re offering incentives to do so. I think it's important to encourage our online customers to also experience our award-winning venue,” said Constantinou.
The Hippodrome Casino, the UK’s largest, was opened in July 2012, replacing the legendary London nightclub of the same name. The Hippodrome had become one of the capital's most talked about venues during its sixties and seventies heyday when it was known, appropriately, as The Talk of the Town.
