It appears that Las Vegas Sands is eyeing a move to the online gaming world, and is considering acquiring or teaming up with one of London's online gaming specialists, much like what its rivals MGM and Caesars have done.
The late CEO of Las Vegas Sands Sheldon Adelson was known to be a long-time opponent of online poker and online gaming in general. His seriousness in the matter led him to set up various campaigns trying to stop it and he even created an organization named the Coalition to Stop Internet Gaming (CSIG). His reason behind this is that online gaming results to higher levels of addiction and gamblers end up suffering from substantial losses.
The pandemic played a huge role in Las Vegas Sands' decision to enter the online gaming world, as the coronavirus caused their land-based operations to suffer immensely.
Adelson's deputy Rod Goldstein is taking charge on this potential new expansion and is currently negotiating with possible partners with regards to their upcoming sports betting project, which involves the creation of a new betting platform.
Potential Partner - 888 Holdings
One of the possible moves that Goldstein can make is to follow the steps of Sands rivals by means of hiring one of London's bookmakers and gaming specialists. Exactly what MGM Resorts and Caesars did, with Ladbrokes and William Hill.
Broker company Peel Hunt said, "Working with 888, or buying it, is not its only option, but it would bring market-leading knowhow, technology and a great brand, for Sands China in particular. A collaboration between 888 and Sands, commercial or corporate, is uncertain, but would have the potential to materially offset UK risks to revenue."
The casino-resort giant is currently utilizing third-party sports betting tech from William Hill, which is partnered with their rival casino Caesars.
Las Vegas Sands is currently in talks with potential buyers for their Palazzo and Venetian properties. Once done and over with, it will allow the casino giant to focus more on its assets in Singapore and Macau and will bring forth more income for the realization of their new potential move.

| geseco, avoid the scandal with this frustrated member. Tell us the idea of this possible merger because las vegas sands wants to enter in online market and it is normal to be interested in this union. We can't know when luck comes with a big name in this industry. Good luck.

| I don't know who makes the deal from grave, because this man have five children who will continue to run their father's business. The American state can't take these casinos because don't belong to him. The union with 888 poker can be made with succes and you are the only dead person on this site, because you are a man with zero character.

| Speculations is true in most cases because they are generally exposed after some tips. 888 has poker, casino or sports betting and an immense name in this industry can anytime to ally with him. Such a plan is not to be avoided. Both sides can earn from this.

I would love for Las Vegas Sands to come up with a definitive purchase proposal for 888 Poker, or at least an alliance. A business kuke that must to bring benefits for customers. These two names can invigorate more this platform. We will see.

| geseco12 | 24/01/2021 22:47:45 GMT |
I think that the union between Las Vegas Sands and 888poker would be better, it could improve the platform and benefit its customers, I think that separately it would not be the same, they should join, we will see what happens, but it would be great if they go for the first option.

| We will see if the rumors are realistic and the business will materialize. Covid 19 can prolong that planetary lie and casinos can have bigger losses. Online area can make them more active, so it will be good for they and for the winners of his games.

| For sure if they can,t make money from people offering live games, they will try to make it online and looks like the only way is to cooperate with some big companies. I think this will be not so easy to make and they need to think twice, because lots of players don,t like everything new and they prefer to play in the places, which already had some reputation. Also looking strange, when the people was a big opponents of on online gambling and now they try to make money on it.

| Internet is necessary for las vegas sands, but success is not guaranteed if they enter on the online market. Many people prefer live casinos and they don't trust to play from their homes . Customers can be attracted by advertising if this alliance will exist in future.

It would be interesting to see this company to buy a share or to cooperate with an online poker room such as 888poker , and this would strenghten both these companies , and would give sth new to the online poker industry , more profits , knowhow , chances to the players , etc etc This should have been done much earlier , a year at least earlier , when the corona crisis began

| when you look how many big companies we have on market,888 company isnt biggest,not in poker,not in casino games,not in betting,so its will be strange if they choose them on end!much better and bigger companies are there,so every can bring success to las vegas sands,whole usa and players!

A good alliance, and also a good promotion and marketing will make them enter the online market successfully, we know that now the buum has it online games and everyone is interested in entering this world, I think they should do it would be great for the company and for gamers.

| Now that the old man is dead, his children maybe have different opinions and the decision belongs to them. The second problem would be that they to want but 888 poker to refuse that alliance. We don't know what it will be, but we will see.

| dule-vu | 02/02/2021 12:08:47 GMT |
| I just hope that if any company come on US market,they americans will not change whole casino and betting system in world,because we all know how they can change anything in the world and to make their own rules!would be great that they just allow people to gamble online and not to change anything that can affect on rest of world!

| This news about a rumor will not materialize, if any restrictions on covid 19 are lifted and people resume their lives as in 2019 and the beginning of 2020. I honestly would like 888 to grow, but at that moment we have no way of knowing.
|
| CALICUL | 04/09/2021 20:56:00 GMT |
| I have not heard of any alliance in recent months and i think they are negotiating or giving up the idea. It would have been an alliance which could be quite profitable for both parties, but now it depends on what the owners want.
|
| CALICUL | 15/10/2021 12:36:40 GMT |
| I think this plan will definitely fall in the next few years, as long 888 has a very strong online casino and i guess they don't want an alliance, that could be to their detriment. It would have been interesting, but when it comes to a different kind of stability, some alliances are not made.
|
| CALICUL | 06/11/2021 19:49:24 GMT |
| I don't think Las Vegas Sands will be able to make an alliance or buy 888. Here things are going well and their profit is pretty good. Why would they want to ally or sell? An offer of billions could change that, but I don't think this casino would offer that much money.
|
| CALICUL | 28/11/2021 00:24:30 GMT |
| from the point of view of 888 they do not want to make such an association with Las Vegas Sand, but I think that these customers of the online operator would have wanted these two names to unite in a collaboration. I think people felt more hopeful of winning well.
|
| CALICUL | 16/12/2021 12:25:55 GMT |
| Las Vegas Sands will have to wait and put their appetite in the nail. 888 is a solid place and it is not going to lose its profits in favor of a casino that has already started to have results again after the period when it was closed due to the fake pandemic. For now, each will continue separately.
