Hippodrome Casino and Playtech Launch Live from London Venue-Based Live Casino Product

The Hippodrome Casino and Playtech announced their partnership to launch Live from London on 15 September 2026. The live casino product broadcasts dealer-led games from the central London venue to players in regulated markets internationally. It forms the latest addition to Playtech’s Live From portfolio of venue-based offerings powered by the supplier’s live casino technology.

Live Gaming from a Century-Old London Landmark

Live from London streams from inside The Hippodrome, which has operated as a gaming and entertainment venue for more than a century. The product will initially feature Dual Roulette, Studio Core Roulette, Blackjack and Baccarat. The portfolio is expected to expand with additional tables as the partnership develops.

The agreement enables the operator to distribute live content from its floor to online audiences across multiple regulated jurisdictions. For Playtech the tie-up extends its strategy of building live casino content around recognised physical venues rather than dedicated studios. Live from London joins that broader Live From line-up.

Executive Statements on Authenticity and Player Protection

Playtech Chief Interactive Gaming Officer Marat Koss commented: “As we continue to expand Playtech’s Live Casino portfolio, partnering with iconic gaming destinations remains a key part of our strategy. We are proud to work with The Hippodrome to introduce players worldwide to the rich heritage and unique atmosphere that makes it one of the most recognised casino and entertainment venues in the UK. ‘Live from London’ merges the authenticity of a premium land-based casino and our technology to provide an engaging experience across multiple regulated markets. Both Playtech and The Hippodrome share an unwavering commitment to delivering innovative entertainment in a responsible way.”

The Hippodrome Director of Online Gaming George Constantinou stated: “The Hippodrome has been entertaining guests in the heart of London for more than a century and has become one of the most recognised casino destinations in the UK. Partnering with a leading technology provider in Playtech enables us to extend that experience beyond our venue and introduce our unique atmosphere to audiences around the world through high-quality live casino content.”

Both companies said the Live from London portfolio would be delivered with a focus on player protection standards. The launch adds to an increasingly competitive live casino segment within the wider iGaming market, where suppliers are seeking to differentiate their offerings through recognisable venues and branded content, according to iGaming Future.
