Emma Jones Joins PlayOJO's Live Casino Show

Published On 12th May 2025

If you're of a certain age you might remember that late night TV on some channels often featured online casino action from the likes of Jackpot 247. The idea of the show was to encourage late night viewers to tune in and possibly gamble - a kind of forerunner to live casino play. Jackpot 247 actually ended in 2019 and the online live casino experience has improved dramatically with improvements with streaming and the rise of live game shows such as Dream Catcher, Monopoly Live, Deal Or No Deal Live and Buffalo Blitz Live. However TV fans missing the Jackpot 247 can always tune in th Channel 5 for PlayOJO’s Live Casino Show.

The Live Casino Show

PlayOJO's Live Casino Show features a live stream of their Live Roulette table and displays winners during the broadcast. Apparently it's been on air since August 2023 running from 1am to 3am. Now, embrassingly, we never knew programme was running which means we're either not very casino current affairs (quite possible) or it's not that well publicised (maybe). A quick search of Google shows a few sites reporting on the launch of the TV show - PlayOJO even have a "as seen on Channel 5" logo on their live casino section. So it looks like we're not very current affairs although in our defence it should be noted that it's very rare we're up at 1am surfing through the TV channels looking for something to watch. Anyway the show is on each evening and we can tell you that there's a brand new host.

Emma Jones Live Casino Presenter

According to PlayOJO's blog, Emma Jones is the brand new host of PlayOJO's Live Casino Show. She's "a well-respected sports journalist, broadcaster and presenter" and has featured on the likes of Race Day TV, Match of the Day X and Planet Sport. She's also worked with competition sites like Good Life Plus and Omaze. More recently she hosted the Player of the Year Awards for Leeds United! Emma will be on lates when she presents Live Casino but previously she's been more used to early mornings. The University of Staffordshire, where Emma graudated from, reveals in her graduate story that she was also "breakfast show presenter for Staffordshire and South Cheshire radio station Signal 1". PlayOJO have explained that they're "excited to be working with Emma and that they have some big things planned". Previous Live Casino hosts have included Kellie Gnauk and David Butler.

How To Play PlayOJO's Live Casino Show

To play along with PlayOJO's Live Casino Show you simply need to be registered with PlayOJO, login to your account and head to the relevant live roulette room. From there you'll be able to place bets whilst watching the action via the TV. Emma Jones and - we're guessing that they'll be other presenters as hosting the show two hours every night is a tough ask for one person - will then interact and announce winners. In truth it's nothing different to what players experience when they play live casino games. However the idea behind using a TV show on Channel 5 is to try and reach out to a new audience. It's a nice filler - and potential earner - for the TV channel, a great two hour advert for PlayOJO, and a hook to pique interest players who perhaps have not experienced live roulette action before other than perhaps in a local casino or whilst on holiday.
