14/03/14 08:33 Filed in: Casino
Fans of William Hill's network of online gaming and betting sites should have no fear for the future of their platform of choice. The latest financial information released by the company shows that William Hill has continued to perform well throughout the first months of 2013.
The last few months have been good to William Hill with new reports seeing its net revenues growing impressively. The gambling network released extremely impressive figures (for the financial period ending on 2nd April, 2013) that demonstrate success across a number of key areas of its business. These figures include growth in online net revenue (up by 21%), sportbook net revenue (up by 47%) and, most impressively, in mobile gaming net revenue (an astonishing 298% increase). William Hill's efforts at expanding its mobile presence — an area of concentration that has become increasingly important to the online gaming industry — have yielded incredible results. Entering the Australian market has also proven a smart idea for Will Hill, the country helping bolster the network's online operating profits by drawing in new players and punters.
William Hill's CEO, Ralph Topping, told press that his company "has [had] a successful start to 2013" that includes "moving forward with our [business] strategy" and "taking full control of William Hill Online." Taking note of the most profitable aspects of his business, Topping stated that "mobile remains a high priority " before confirming that William Hill plans to continue "making significant investments in marketing, technology and people."

William Hill Casino Player Takes Home More than £250,000 After Big Win
16/01/14 08:39 Filed in: Casino News
One William Hill Casino player has just received a life-changing windfall after sitting down to play a quick game of slots during a sleepless night. The man in question, Richard Taylor, hails from Burnley, England and is now richer to the tune of more than £250,000.
Taylor is a forty five year old call centre employee who decided to log onto Will Hill Casino after difficulty getting to sleep. He wagered 20p on William Hill's Super Spins Bar X, turned on the television and was absorbed in a horserace when he thought to check back on his spin. Taylor found that he had lined up five gold symbols in Super Spins Bar X and then watched in amazement as the game tallied up a £258,670 payout. The call centre employee revealed that his enormous win is "about the equivalent of 20 years' wages" for him and will help "make life a lot easier." Taylor told press that he plans to buy a new car, move out from the home he shares with friends and, perhaps best of all, be able to stop "worrying about the bills" and go wherever he wants on holiday.
The hugely lucky William Hill Casino player said that his windfall hasn't "really sunk in", but called the £258,670 win "the best 20 pence [he's] ever spent." He added that the most astonishing part of his lucky spin was that he "only had to lift a finger" and press a button "to land a fortune" at William Hill Casino.

18/09/13 08:49 Filed in: Casino
William Hill's mobile casino client has just provided one lucky player with an incredible windfall. The gambler in question, a man from east London, is now the recipient of the largest payout recorded through Will Hill's mobile platform to date.
While playing the iPhone version of William Hill's Leprechaun's Luck game after breakfast the soon-to-be winner, a 28 year old supermarket employee, triggered an enormous £341,259 cash prize after wagering only £12. The fortunate play session was well timed, too, taking place on 9th December — just in time for the 2012 holiday season. The unnamed winner said that the win meant that "all [his] Christmases have come at once" and went on to add that he would be treating his family to a number of unexpected gifts. He also planned to purchase a new BMW and take his family to India on holiday, but returned to his regular job after taking only a handful of days off from normal life.
William Hill's Mobile Director, Juergen Reutter, told press that the Londoners' "monster win is our biggest ever mobile payout and [one of the] largest in the history of mobile gaming." Reutter also spoke to the rise of portable gaming, noting that "more customers are playing our games via mobile devices" and that William Hill predicted seeing "someone winning a million with us in 2013."

The Android app includes a wide array of bingo rooms, new miniature games (that can be played from within bingo rooms), chat options and the ability to buy tickets and cash out winnings. Most importantly, mobile users will be able to easily manage their accounts and enjoy William Hill's regular promotional events.
William Hill's Jennie Prest described the work that has gone into the creation of its mobile software as "important [in bringing] the same bingo experience from the desktop over to the mobile" while retaining "all the same features [player's] love, wherever and however they choose to play."

05/02/12 08:36 Filed in: Poker | Poker Events
The popular betting game, Passoker has enjoyed immense popularity since its fairly recent launch, becoming a favourite of many players. Now, with the signing of a business agreement between William Hill and the game’s developers, it’s set to be discovered by an even larger audience.
William Hill signed on with Stuart Carr and the Passoker developers in order to gain access to the game for use at its site. Joining the ranks of online gaming networks like Victor Chandler and Jenning’s Bet, Will Hill will soon offer its own take on the versatile betting game. The game of Passoker is still fairly young, having been released for the first time in late 2012 through Passoker.com. It was created by a team including English football player Viv Anderson and was designed to provide players with a chance-based, in-play betting game able to adapt to various sporting themes. Ten competitors sit at tables and place bets on sports events like tennis aces or double faults, football free kicks or goals and more.
William Hill members can expect to see Passoker arriving at their site of choice beginning in early February of this year. William Hill Online’s Chief Operating Officer, Jim Mullen, released a statement that stated how Passoker will “bring much added value to William Hill, [giving] our customers more opportunities to bet in a number of new and interesting ways.”

Betfred’s new video slot was developed by Playtech (the same company behind the bulk of the site’s gaming platform) and is already available for play. Top Trumps Celebs is a 20-payline affair that is designed to bring a bit of Hollywood to online gamers through five reels covered in images of stars like Will Smith, Madonna, Brad Pitt, Beyonce Knowles and more. The new video slot lets players pick their favourite celebrities then assigns their faces to the reels’ wild symbols. The movie theme continues on with red carpet bonus rounds as well.
William Hill’s Iron Man 2 is another five reel slot but, unlike Top Trumps Celebs, it comes with 25-paylines. Iron Man 2 awards free games when players are lucky enough to trigger three or more Iron Man logos on the reels. The free games come complete with a multiplier that increases with every other spin, promising great cash rewards during bonus play. Most exciting of the new video slot’s features is the introduction of fixed paylines (that keep all 25 lines active throughout play) and the Iron Man Reactor, an extra wild symbol that appears in all free games.

William Hill Move to iPoker Network
22/11/08 11:00 Filed in: Poker News
Online gambling giant, William Hill has announced an imminent move to the similarly popular, iPoker Network. Through a surprising partnership with software giant, Playtech, William Hill is now set to venture forward into a period of increased concentration into the field of online poker.
The process of joining up with Playtech has resulted in the birth of William Hill Online, a brand new client for fans of the popular gaming company. William Hill has left Cryptologic behind (to currently suffering traffic ratings) and will now attempt to maneuver some of their users over to the new poker tables. While the company enjoys enormous success as a bookkeeping and sports betting agency, poker represents a fairly new field of the online gambling trade for them to try their hand at. iPoker expect a similar increase in business as their service becomes flooded with brand new users who may be willing to follow William Hill more enthusiastically by way of their improved poker networking.
Players who enjoy William Hill’s other offerings will surely enjoy the transition, especially as the poker site grows through affiliation with the iPoker Network. The company should be able to profit immensely from the joint venture between themselves, Playtech and the iPoker Network, competing with other premier poker sites as a level opponent.
