British bookmaker Evoke agreed to be acquired by Greek lottery and gaming firm Bally’s Intralot on Friday in an all-share deal valuing it at about £243 million ($326 million), sending its shares up 14%.
Intralot’s offer values the William Hill and 888 casino owner at 52 pence per share, a 33.8% premium to the stock’s closing price before Evoke confirmed discussions with the Greek lottery and gaming firm.
