Bally’s Intralot has “no intention” of immediately selling off any of Evoke’s assets should its acquisition of the William Hill and 888 owner proceed as expected, according to CEO Robeson Reeves.

On June 5, Bally’s Intralot confirmed that it had agreed terms on an all-share deal valuing evoke’s assets at £243.1m. The deal is set to close in Q4 of this year or early in 2027, subject to various gaming and anti-trust approvals.

Speaking during several calls after the announcement was made, Reeves was quick to shut down any suggestion that evoke could be broken up after the acquisition is finalised. He said Bally’s Intralot approached the combination with the “whole group” in mind.
