BOOKIE FINDS ITS ELDORADO

Bookmakers William Hill are on the hunt for US riches after agreeing a deal with casino giant Eldorado.

William Hill are shelling out on £39million worth of shares and a 20% stake in its US operation to become Eldorado’s exclusive partner for digital and sports betting, and online gaming.

It follows a Supreme Court ruling in May allowing states to legalise gambling in sports such as US favourites American football and baseball.

Eldorado has 23 million customers in the US.
