EXPANDING
Victoria Apuestas S.A., the joint venture between
William Hill and
Codere S.A., is combining forces with
Rubio Group in Madrid, the company announced on Tuesday.
According to Gaming Intelligence, Rubio, a gaming center operator, will offer Victoria's sports betting services at eight locations with the potential to add on more in the future.
The sports betting group said in a prepared statement that it hopes to attract new customers and a higher volume of business from this venture.
Last week William Hill said it will be pulling out of the Victoria joint venture due to slow regulatory consents and the economic downturn in Spain.
