Gala Coral's rival, Mecca Bingo, owned by Rank Group Plc (L:RNK), was not interested in buying Gala's estate, Sky News said.Gala Coral sealed an all-share merger deal with bookmaker Ladbrokes Plc (L:LAD) in July, creating a 2.3 billion pound betting group that will seek to build on its dominance of Britain's high streets, or main streets, to expand its online business.

This move would come on the heels of a 900-million-pound merger between online company 888 Holdings Plc (L:888) and rival Bwin.party Digital Entertainment Plc (L:BPTY) .

Caledonia Investments and Gala Coral could not be reached immediately for comments outside regular business hours.
