William Hill, Amaya drop short-lived gambling merger talks: Reuters
William Hill Plc and Canadian online gambling company Amaya Inc have abandoned merger talks, leaving the British bookmaker struggling to find a partner in a fast-consolidating industry, Reuters reported. Amaya, operator of the PokerStars website, and William Hill, one of the best known British gambling brands, said earlier this month that they were in talks about a merger of equals, but the deal was thrown into doubt days later when a leading investor in William Hill, Parvus Asset Management, said it would oppose the plan.
