Rumours are swirling that the gambling tech giant, Playtech would consider breaking up and selling its business should it not have the backing of shareholders for its potential acquisition by the Australian gambling company, Aristocrat.
Playtech was forced to issue a response to the media yesterday after Sky News reported that the group was exploring a £2 billion break up to sell off its operations should a shareholder vote on the Aristocrat deal fails next week. If Playtech adopts this idea, its business-to-business division and its Italian arm, Snaitech could be sold as separate entities.
