Pokerstars acquires the Hippodrome club, both online and live

London's Hippodrome Club announced on Tuesday the appointment of George Constantinou as director of online operations.

The appointment comes before the club reached an agreement with Pokerstars. PokerStars recently signed an agreement with Leicester Square Club to acquire a minority stake in Hippodrome, launching pokerStars-branded poker rooms both online and in person.

Hippodromecasino.com is expected to launch next month, initially including Microgaming's online club game, operated by Betway Group. PokerStars will provide support for online poker.

Constantinou previously worked at pokerroom. According to a press release issued on the day, he will oversee the launch of the new website with Serious Trivia, "develop Hippodrome's affiliate network" and further explore "partnerships and relationships with the media." ”

PokerStars will renovate Hippodrome's existing poker room and plan to host tournaments for 50 million online customers, with schedules already scheduled.

This is PokerStars' first physical poker room in Europe. Prior to this, PokerStars' only physical Hold'em Club partner was the Golden Park Hotel in Macau. Recently it was also revealed that PokerStars is having "deep talks" about acquiring the New Jersey club.

In October, Guy Templer, group strategy director at PokerStars, told reporters that the group planned to "offer live, all-weather live poker and an equally great poker experience in central London." "They" look forward to hosting a huge live event at the UK Poker Market in 2013. ”
