The Hippodrome Casino has renewed its partnership with iGB Live ahead of the event’s return to London on 1-2 July, providing delegates and exhibitors with access to a range of hospitality offers throughout the show.

As part of the collaboration, registered iGB Live attendees will receive a 25% discount across the casino’s bars and restaurants during the two-day event. Delegates can access the offer by presenting their iGB Live event badge at participating venues within the property.

Located in Leicester Square, the Hippodrome Casino is one of London's largest gaming and entertainment destinations. The venue operates around the clock and features three casino floors, a dedicated poker lounge, multiple bars and restaurants, as well as entertainment attractions including Magic Mike Live and Paddy’s Sportsbook.

In addition to the discount programme, the casino is offering tailored hospitality packages for iGB Live guests. These include premium dining experiences, curated drinks menus and dedicated service options designed for corporate events, networking functions and client meetings. 

Private spaces will also be available on either an exclusive or semi-exclusive basis.

Commenting on the collaboration, Simon Thomas, Executive Chairman and majority shareholder of the Hippodrome Casino, stated: "We're delighted to welcome iGB Live delegates and exhibitors back to the Hippodrome. London is one of the world's great entertainment cities and events like this provide a fantastic opportunity for the international gaming industry to come together, exchange ideas and strengthen relationships.

“We look forward to welcoming guests from across the sector throughout the week. Whether it's for a drink, dinner, networking or simply catching up with industry friends.”

Stuart Hunter, Managing Director of World Gaming, added: “Huge thanks go to Simon and his team at the Hippodrome Casino for welcoming iGB Live delegates to what is an acclaimed award-winning entertainment venue situated in the heart of London’s West End. The Hippodrome joins other iconic hospitality brands like The Savoy Hotel and The Shard which will also be hosting iGB Live events and guests.

“It promises to be a fantastic week during which the international industry continues the conversations and deepens the connections that were made at ICE and iGB Affiliate Barcelona six months earlier. I’m delighted that industry professionals from throughout the world will experience the very best in London hospitality and some truly unforgettable venues.”

The development comes as the Hippodrome continues to expand its profile within the gaming sector. In 2025, the venue launched Paddy’s Sportsbook in partnership with Paddy Power, following regulatory changes that allowed UK casinos to introduce sportsbook facilities.
