A takeover of online gambling group 888 Holdings by bookmaker Ladbrokes
is imminent. The two companies have been in talks for over a month and
there are rumors that a deal could be struck as early as next week.

Analysts have long believed Ladbrokes would make a take-over move in online gambling, identifying 888 Holdings and its 888.com casino brand as a strong match for the Ladbrokes onshore betting empire.

Would be interesting to see if Ladbrokes would retain the 888 brand in future if this deal went ahead.
