    Posted

    It appears that the Gala Coral Group Limited are preparing to sell their casinos to rival casino and gambling operator Rank Group Plc for £205 million; a sale that would see Rank become the largest casino operator in Great Britain.Rank, the owners of the Grosvenor Casino brand, have provisionally agreed to acquire Gala Casinos from Gala Coral Group Limited that will see Rank take control of 23 casinos and three non-operating licenses. The Gala Coral Group's casino in Dundee and Gibraltar and its non-operating licence fo the City of Westminster (London) and all of the central management functions previously associated with Gala Casinos are not included in the scope of the acquisition.If the proposed sale does go ahead as expected it will see Rank become the largest casino operator in Great Britain in relation to its 58 operating venues and 13 non-operating licences.All Gala Casinos will be re-branded as Grosvenor Casinos and it means Rank will have a presence in 11 new cities. Nine of the Gala casino locations will become the tried and tested "G Casino" format as seen at venues such as the Ricoh Arena and other notable establishments up and down the country.The chairman and chief executive officer of Rank, Ian Burke, said this of the potential transaction, "We are delighted to have agreed terms with Gala Coral. This Acquisition will deliver a step change in Rank‘s earnings by capitalising on our proven record of operational excellence in the British casino sector and will be earnings enhancing in the first full year of ownership. By rolling out the 'G Casino' format into the Gala estate and expanding the Grosvenor Casino brand into 11 new cities, we will accelerate the growing awareness of the brand and support the development of a multi-channel gaming business

    Tom Dwan Drags Spectacular $3.8 Million Pot

    Tom Dwan Drags Spectacular $3.8 Million Pot "durrrr" Dwan Tom “durrrr” Dwan reportedly raked in a colossal $3.8 million (USD) pot in Macau this week according to Poker Portal Asia. Dwan won the pot, which amounted to HKD $30 million, against a Chinese businessman while playing HLH with blinds of $1,300/$2,600. According to Poker Portal Asia details were sparse on the hand but Dwan apparently picked up ace-ten against his opponent’s ace-deuce. The flop came an action-heavy A-T-2 giving both players aces-up and a betting war ensued. Eventually all the money went in on the flop and, after fading any trouble cards on the turn or the river, Dwan picked up the scale-tipping $3.8 million pot. The article didn’t state whether Dwan ended the session a winner. If confirmed, the pot would rank as one of the biggest in the history of poker. Dwan already owns the biggest pot in TV history when he edged Phil Ivey in a $1.1 million cooler on the Million Dollar Cash game back in 2010. Apparently the big game at Starworld Hotel’s Poker King Club has been going for the last week but Dwan is one of the only big name pros who has been playing it regularly. Andrew Robl dropped in for one session this week and there’s a good chance it went well as he confirmed his participation in the $1 million buy-in WSOP Big One this summer on monday.
