London Growth

Hippodrome Casino has acquired the Crystal Rooms Adult Gaming Centre, which is located next to its facility in Leicester Square in central London.

“This is a significant new opportunity for the Hippodrome business,” Hippodrome Casino CEO Simon Thomas said. “It not only allows us to extend the current gaming offer, but delivers a significant platform at street level to showcase the magnificent range of entertainment facilities within the building.”

Hippodrome Casino acquired Crystal Rooms following the recent adjustment of its Praesepe business development strategy.

“We have enjoyed six years successful trading at what is an iconic gaming venue in the heart of central London,” Praesepe CEO Nick Harding said. “However, following a strategic review of the entire Praesepe business, which includes bingo clubs and a growing number of coastal businesses, we believe the energy and resources to remain at the top of the game in central London can be deployed more effectively.”

The Crystal Rooms is among 71 Adult Gaming Centres operated under the Cashino brand in Greater London.

The Hippodrome is the biggest and busiest casino in England and the most popular live entertainment venue in West London, Harding said.
