The world’s largest “real money” online poker room has made an equity investment in London’s newly opened Hippodrome Casino.

As part of the deal, Stars will offer the Hippodrome its own online poker room at a future date. PokerStars will also refurbish and re-brand the poker deck at the Hippodrome, becoming home to a series of new tournaments.

Guy Templer, group strategy director for PokerStars, said, “The Hippodrome has dramatically raised the quality bar for the UK casino industry.

“So together we will give poker players the same great poker experience, live 24/7 in the heart of London that they get from PokerStars online. We are looking forward to unveiling some great new live events for the UK poker market in 2013.”

The Hippodrome also plans to offer an online casino platform utilizing the software of Microgaming.
