Amaya Weighing Offers; PokerStars to Change Hands Again?

Amaya Inc., parent company of PokerStars, is weighing a number of possible future moves that could see the world's leading online poker operator change hands again, Reuters reported Friday.

The most prominent and perhaps interesting of possibilities is a merger with sports betting giant William Hill. The two companies confirmed in a press release from Amaya that they have been in talks for a "potential all share merger of equals."

"Amaya has been undertaking a review of its strategic alternatives since February 2016," Amaya stated.
