On one hand, they raked in a staggering \u00a31.71 billion in revenue, which looks impressive at first glance.  This substantial gain is largely attributed to their acquisition of William Hill earlier this year \u2013 a strategic maneuver, no doubt. <\/p>\n<p>However, there&#8217;s a twist: despite revenue soaring (and we&#8217;re talking pre-merger figures here), their earnings took a significant hit.  After accounting for taxes and other factors, they&#8217;re staring at a 25% plunge to \u00a348.1 million.  That&#8217;s gotta hurt.<\/p>\n<p>And let&#8217;s not forget the whole inquiry by the Gambling Commission.  It seems 888 emerged unscathed, but it certainly had everyone on edge for a time. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"text-justify mb-2\" >The gaming firm 888 is completely withdrawing from the American market, transferring its holdings to Hard Rock Digital.
