Evolution to launch live casino with London’s Hippodrome

Evolution Gaming has agreed a deal to launch an online live casino service with the Hippodrome Casino in London, UK.

The new service will be built around Evolution’s generic live tables, which are located at the firm’s studio in Riga, Latvia, as well as a Dual Play Roulette table that will be placed at the Hippodrome’s ‘Lola’s’ underground casino facility.

Players will be able to place bets on roulette via desktop, tablet and smartphone alongside customers seated at the table in the casino.

Lola’s Dual Play Roulette table will be also made available as a ‘Live from the Hippodrome’ feed to other Evolution licensees.

“This exciting initiative with Evolution will enable players to play not only at our historic destination casino, but to actually play online at a real table set amidst the unique and pulsating atmosphere of Lola’s,” Hippodrome director of online operations, George Constantinou, said.

Jens on Bahr, chief executive and co-founder at Evolution, added: “This is another major step in our land-based and convergence strategy — a step that will both enrich the gaming experience for online players and expand the services available to all Evolution licensees.

“Existing and new Hippodrome and Lola’s patrons will be able to experience the thrill of playing at this historic venue’s tables from virtually any location, even when they are not able to visit the venue in-person.”
