Hippodrome London adds second Evolution Dual Play Roulette table
Evolution Gaming, leading provider of Live Casino solutions, has announced that it is to launch a second multi-camera Dual Play Roulette table at London’s famous Hippodrome Casino, with go-live scheduled for Q3 2018.
This follows the highly successful launch for The Hippodrome in 2017 of both Evolution-hosted online Live Casino services and an Evolution Dual Play Roulette at Lola’s, The Hippodrome’s underground casino.
This latest Dual Play table will be located on the main gaming floor of The Hippodrome and will be open 24/7.
On-premise players will have a clear sightline of the new table not only on the gaming floor but also from The Hippodrome’s upper levels. This will allow The Hippodrome to promote the unique benefit of Dual Play — the ability for remote players to join on-premise players and play in the same games, at the same table, from virtually anywhere in the world. In addition, on-premise players will also have the opportunity to continue playing at the Dual Play table on their smartphones or tablets when in the venue’s restaurant areas.
Like the Lola’s Dual Play table, this second Hippodrome Dual Play table will be available as a B2B service to other Evolution licensees. From day one of the new table launch, all Evolution operators who already take the ‘Live from Lola’s’ game feed will receive the additional Hippodrome live feed, with other Evolution operators able to opt-in too.
George Constantinou, Director of Interactive at The Hippodrome Casino, said: “Our first Evolution Dual Play table has been a great success, with high numbers of on-premise players drawn to the table and many more playing at the same table online. We were keen, therefore, to recreate the same kind of attraction and extended service offering on The Hippodrome’s main gaming floor.”
James Stern, Evolution’s Director of Business Development & Land-based Sales, added: “The Hippodrome is an iconic casino and entertainment venue. As such, we are confident that online players who see and play at The Hippodrome’s Dual Play table will be very much encouraged to visit the venue in person. There’s a real buzz around the Lola’s Dual Play table, and this latest table is sure to create similarly high levels of excitement and interest.”
