The Sophisticated Online Casino
About the Hippodrome
You may have already heard of the Hippodrome. London's Hippodrome Casino is one of the most iconic locations in central London and has provided over 100 years of entertainment to residents and visitors of the city. The Hippodrome Online Casino isn’t as old as its celebrated parent, but it already has over four years of experience in providing high quality online casino gaming.
The land-based Hippodrome in London is known for its sophistication and ability to create truly memorable experiences, and the online version is exactly the same. With hundreds of games ready to be played, jackpots large enough to entice any player and the whole site slick and easy to use, you’ll find yourself in a world of first-class gaming. If you’re not located within traveling distance to England’s capital, logging in to The Hippodrome Online Casino is as close as you’ll get to that real-life experience.
Rewards and Bonuses
There’s plenty of competition in the online gaming market, so it can be difficult for a casino to stand out in the crowd. However, the Hippodrome Online Casino manages to do so with its gigantic NZ $1000 Welcome Bonus. That’s an awful lot of extra play and makes you feel very valued as a customer. Here’s how the bonus is broken down:
1. Sign up and create an account with The Hippodrome Online Casino
2. Make your first deposit for a 100% Match Bonus worth up to NZ $250
3. Make your second deposit for a 25% Match Bonus worth up to NZ $250
4. Make your third deposit for a 50% Match Bonus worth up to NZ $500
As soon as you make those deposits your extra funds will be in your account and ready to enjoy. You’re not restricted with where you use it either - the whole casino is your oyster.
Rest assured, you won’t be forgotten once you’ve used your huge Welcome Bonus. There is plenty more in the way of special offers and promotions throughout the year to make your gaming even more rewarding. Leader board tournaments are popular and frequent, with typical prizes including cruises and other once in a lifetime experiences like helicopter flying lessons.
You’ll also keep receiving bonuses for your day-to-day play, including Match Bonuses, Free Spins and free Loyalty Points. This includes the popular Daily Deals series, where every day you’ll receive a new offer via email.
The eagle-eyed players will have noticed that we just mentioned Loyalty Points, so you probably guessed that there is an exclusive loyalty rewards scheme. It works like this: every time you make a wager at The Hippodrome Online Casino you’ll earn Loyalty Points. Once you earn enough, you can redeem them for Free Casino Credits to use wherever you choose. Loyalty Points will also help you rise through the Loyalty Levels – there are six of them and for each level you reach, the rewards and bonuses get bigger and better.
Deposits and Withdrawals
Let’s talk about one of the less exciting – but vitally important – aspects of the casino: banking. Depositing is a quick and easy process, with plenty of options available. Mastercard and Visa credit cards are accepted, as are Mastercard Debit, Maestro, Visa Debit and Visa Electron. PayPal is another popular option, and you'll also find e-wallet vendors such as Neteller, Skrill and ecoPayz. You can use direct bank transfers if you prefer – check the website to find a full list of options.
You can deposit and play in your choice of currency, between British Pounds, Euros, Dollars and, of course, New Zealand Dollars. The minimum deposit is NZ $10 but there’s no upper limit, and the same is true of withdrawals. It usually takes two to three working days for any withdrawals to make their way back into your account and you can be assured that it’s a risk-free procedure. All transactions are digitally encrypted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to ensure your money and your personal data remain safe and secure.
In all areas of its operations, The Hippodrome Online Casino adheres to the highest standards of online gaming. It is licenced by both the Malta Gaming Authority and the Great Britain Gambling Commission and is regulated by eCOGRA and IBAS.
Unfortunately, if you’re from the US, Australia, France or a handful of other nations, you won’t be able to play. You can find the full list of countries on the website.
Games, Games, Games
For those who can play, however, there’s a real treasure trove of gaming. Over 450 games await, with everything from classic table games to the latest pokies. You’ll enjoy both quality and quantity, while a huge variety means you’re certain to find games suited to your tastes. Let’s start with table games. Of course, there’s roulette, blackjack, poker and baccarat, but it doesn’t stop there – each game has a number of variations that allow you to find your gaming niche. Blackjack, for example, has 27 variations with everything from Multi-Hand Blackjack to European Blackjack Gold. There are ten variations of roulette as well as multiple versions of baccarat and video poker.
The biggest variety comes with pokies games. Hundreds of 5 and 3 Reel Slots are ready to play and they offer plenty of bonus features and big jackpots. Each game has a great theme and all of the industry’s best pokies are present, including names like Thunderstruck, Immortal Romance and Gold Factory. There are also plenty of big-name film and TV tie-ins, with titles like Game of Thrones™ 243 Ways and Jurassic Park™. The games all run on Microgaming software, which means industry-leading quality graphics and sound. On games like Bridesmaids™, which uses video clips from the film, it really makes a difference.
Progressive jackpot games are also popular. These are games where you can see the jackpot rise by the second, increasing your potential payout. On titles like Major Millions and Mega Moolah, the jackpot can reach millions, making every spin of the reels an exhilarating moment.
If you want to take a step closer to the experience of being in the London Hippodrome itself, you can try the Live Casino. This immersive experience features real dealers and real tables, streamed on a high definition live feed in real time to your screen. Live roulette, live blackjack, live baccarat, live hold ’em, live three card poker and live Caribbean stud poker are all available.
