    Wow...the M&A deals keep coming and they're getting bigger and bigger.

    According to Bloomberg, this one...
    creates the world’s biggest publicly-listed online gaming company....which will have annual revenue of more than 1.5 billion euros
    And the market loves the news...shares in Betfair and Paddy Power both up around 20%

    Who's next?

    William Hill (who missed out on 888) + bet365 (yet to enter the fray)

    Well that would be another way of William Hill having more private table capacity ... if they used bet365's empty seats at Playtech.


    Albeit not the most cost-effective solution
