Bart(UK) Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 MGM Resorts have made an $11bn (£8.1bn) offer for Entain, the former GVC Holdings, which itself picked up PartyPoker in recent years. Entain owns the Ladbrokes, PartyPoker, Bwin, Eurobet, Coral, Gala poker brands together with Foxy Bingo. Just the latest in attempts from Bricks & Mortar casinos to get a foothold in the online gaming sphere, heightened by the impact Covid has had on their core business. I personally don't foresee any immediate concern for players/members, if approved which is far from guaranteed, MGM would likely run pretty much as is, other than the usual rebranding & consolidation of existing brands. Just my opinion, but posted to raise awareness amongst members. Entain have stated the bid is too low, so may be one that rumbles on for a while.

Bart(UK) Posted January 20, 2021 Author Share Posted January 20, 2021 MGM dropped out, wouldn't raise bid, maybe they'll look elsewhere to get a foothold online. I think Entain are happy as they are, they certainly seem to have a plan building up PartyPoker to rival PokerStars etc. LIKE2FISH and avongirl 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
