He emphasized to investors that William Hill remains committed to its plan for generating shareholder returns. Davis mentioned the company has experienced a positive beginning to the latter half of the year, and the board anticipates the operating income for 2016 to reach the higher portion of the earlier stated \u00a3260 million to \u00a3280 million projection. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"text-justify mb-2\" >888 Holdings and the Rank Group have abandoned a possible acquisition of William Hill, retracting their prior joint merger proposition that had shaken up the gaming industry.
