(Reuters) - British gambling software maker Playtech raised doubts about getting shareholder nod for its takeover by Aristocrat Leisure on Wednesday based on proxy counts, saying it was evaluating other proposals in case the deal falls through.
Playtech needs approval from 75% of shares voting at the general meeting later in the day to go ahead with the 2.1 billion pound ($2.84 billion) offer from Australia's Aristocrat.
