However, shortly following the purchase, Caesars opted to divest the European segments of this prominent British bookmaker.<\/p>\n<p>During the initial announcement of the sale, projections estimated that William Hill&#8217;s European division would garner approximately \u00a31.5 billion. Nevertheless, a fierce bidding competition ensued, with numerous global sports wagering and casino gaming entities expressing interest.<\/p>\n<p>Reports from earlier this year indicated that the German gaming conglomerate, Tipico, was also a potential buyer, while other industry giants like Apollo Global Management and Betfred emerged as prominent contenders.<\/p>\n<p>Subsequently, following the withdrawal of Advent International, the competition narrowed down to a three-way race between Apollo, 888, and CVC Capital Partners (who had partnered with Tipico).<\/p>\n<p>Despite Apollo being perceived as the frontrunner for a period and CVC possessing the advantage of prior ownership of William Hill, the CVC-led bid was ultimately rejected, leaving Apollo and 888 in a final confrontation. <\/p>\n<p>Both firms have remained silent on the issue. However, during the previous week&#8217;s financial results discussion, 888&#8217;s chief executive, Itai Pazner, stated that the organization is &#8220;in an advantageous spot with the enterprise well-situated to further expedite that [expansion]&#8230; We possess a very robust financial standing and are prepared to explore any intriguing prospect that could potentially amplify the natural progression narrative we&#8217;ve been demonstrating over the past several years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Although the future of William Hill&#8217;s wagering establishments remains uncertain, 888 has signaled an inclination to sustain a physical market presence. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As reported by the publication, The Times, the internet gaming firm, 888 Holdings, has emerged victorious in the contest for William Hill&#8217;s continental business.
