UK bookmaker William Hill has reported that revenues from gaming machines in its shops rose four per cent during the quarter ended September 30. The machines are fixed odds betting terminals.

The company reported that its betting shops income will meet earnings forecasts, but there was a 56 per cent increase in online revenue during the quarter. The company recently moved its online gambling and sports betting business from the UK to Gibraltar to save money. Its online casino, run as a joint venture with Playtech, is due to open at the end of the month.
