PartyGaming and 888 in talks
By David Robertson
PartyGaming and 888 Holdings, two of the largest online poker companies, have held preliminary talks about a possible merger, which would create a company worth about £1.6 billion.
The online betting sector has been hit by a crackdown by American authorities and PartyGaming and 888 have pulled out of the market in the United States. A merger would allow the companies to combine their remaining pool of online gamblers.
