Caesars Entertainment took over the British gambling operator William Hill in April 2021 after the two companies’ Boards shook hands on the deal in September 2020. The American gambling operator managed to beat a rival acquisition offer from Apollo Global, as also overcame court action filed by HBK Investments, an investment management fund, which had made the companies postpone the deal’s completion from the initially planned date to April.
As part of the acquisition deal, Caesars Entertainment agreed to pay $4.04 billion in order to take over the British gambling company’s business. However, at a later stage, the American gambling giant announced that the main target of the takeover deal was the acquisition of the US-facing betting business of William Hill. at this point, Caesars Entertainment revealed its intention to dispose of the rest of the British gambling brand’s assets, including William Hill’s retail betting outlets across the UK and its businesses in Europe.
