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.

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 888poker to refuse that alliance. We don't know what it will be, but we will see.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
