October 8, 2012
ISLE OF MAN – Microgaming (www.microgaming.co.uk), the world’s largest provider of online gaming software, announces that it will be the exclusive supplier of online casino software to the world famous venue - The Hippodrome.
The Hippodrome, an iconic London venue whose history spans over a century, is situated in the hustle and bustle of London’s Leicester Square. While it has been transformed into a theatre, circus and nightclub over the years, this summer, The Hippodrome was revamped into a spectacular casino and entertainment complex.
Microgaming has been chosen to construct The Hippodrome’s online offering at www.hippodromecasino.com, and will provide its internationally renowned suite of popular games and mobile gaming applications. Microgaming will work alongside Betway, which will be responsible for all the back office support, including customer loyalty programmes.
Roger Raatgever, CEO of Microgaming, comments: “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.”
The Hippodrome casino opened in July 2012 and has over 200 electronic gaming terminals, 20 true slots, 30 tables and a poker area across its three levels.
