PokerStars Invests In London Live Poker Venue

PokerStars has invested in London’s Hippodrome Casino and plans to offer live poker to its 50 million registered players in 2013.

The company said it will also provide poker for a future Hippodrome online casino site.

Guy Templer, group strategy director for PokerStars, said, “The Hippodrome has dramatically raised the quality bar for the UK casino industry.

“So together we will give poker players the same great poker experience, live 24/7 in the heart of London that they get from PokerStars online. We are looking forward to unveiling some great new live events for the UK poker market in 2013.”

Yesterday Microgaming confirmed it had signed a deal with the Hippodrome to provide it with casino software.

Its chief executive Roger Raatgever, said, “Microgaming is proud to have been selected as the exclusive provider of online gaming software to the iconic London brand The Hippodrome.

“The convergence of offline and online gaming is a trend that Microgaming has been at the forefront of for some time now and we are delighted to be able to provide a bespoke online casino to The Hippodrome, giving their players a first class cross-platform gaming experience.”
