(Alliance News) - Flutter Entertainment PLC on Tuesday said it completed the acquisition of Tombola Ltd for an enterprise value of GBP402 million.

The Dublin-based Paddy Power betting chain owner announced the acquisition of Sunderland, England-based online bingo company Tombola Ltd back in November.
