(Reuters) - British gambling group Entain reported a drop in total net gaming revenue for the first quarter on Thursday, as a hit from pandemic-led shop closures outweighed a bump in online betting during coronavirus lockdowns.
The company, which owns the Ladbrokes and Coral brands, said total net gaming revenue fell 13% for the three months ended March 31 even as online revenue leapt by 33%.
