(Alliance News) - 888 Holdings PLC on Thursday announced the pricing of its senior secured notes, and said it has entered a new revolving credit facility.

888 Holdings is a Gibraltar-headquartered sports betting and gambling company, which owns brands including 888casino and William Hill.

888 announced the pricing of an offering by 888 Acquisitions Ltd, its wholly owner subsidiary, of GBP400.0 million senior secured notes.
