Hippodrome opens UK casino sportsbook with Paddy Power
The Hippodrome Casino has opened a sportsbook in London, becoming the first land-based casino in the UK to offer sports betting after changes to Britain’s gaming rules. Operated by Flutter’s Paddy Power, the venue includes five self-service betting terminals and screens showing sports fixtures; Paddy Power’s retail managing director said the partnership expands its retail offering.
The opening demonstrates how the rule changes allow UK casinos to add sports betting to their venues.
