Caesars Entertainment

Caesars Entertainment's net loss more than doubled in the third quarter as weaker Las Vegas business offset growth in its regional casinos and a better quarter for Caesars Digital. It published the numbers without a call or a word from management while it waits for regulators to clear its sale to Fertitta Entertainment.

The high-stakes professional alleges GGPoker's chief executive promised him a 5% stake and commissions in 2018, then cut his pay and blamed him for cheating on the site. The claims are untested, the CEO has moved to dismiss, and Kenney amended his complaint on the day his reply was due.

Ten days after closure notices gave the Maverick Casino Hotel and the Gold Country Inn until 30 November, Maverick's co-founder says he is buying both back and will rehire every worker. No price, buyer entity or court filing for the deal has been made public, and Nevada's regulator says only that it is "very involved".

On the opening main stage at G2E, the chief executives of MGM Resorts and Caesars called prediction markets illegal, "obscene" and a risk to the whole industry. Wynn Resorts' Craig Billings said his company had no "skin in the game", and recalled what the Strip lost by fighting California's tribes.

Caesars Entertainment shareholders approved Fertitta Entertainment's $31-a-share takeover at a special meeting in Reno on Tuesday, with votes in favour equal to about 65.4% of outstanding shares, the company confirmed in a filing on Wednesday. The deal now depends on a Federal Trade Commission second request and gaming regulators in every Caesars state, while a disclosure shows the President's managers sold a small Caesars holding in July.

Jesse Lynn and Ted Papapostolou resigned "effective immediately" on 16 September and the Icahn Group waived its right to replace them, five weeks after the board declined to treat Icahn's $34 as superior to Fertitta's $31.

A dark web service was selling 153 million driver's licence scans. The suspected source, IDScan.net, runs identity checks at more than 20,000 locations, and Caesars Entertainment is on its customer list.

The definitive proxy filed on Wednesday sets a 22 September vote on a sale to the Fertitta group at a price the buyer cut by a dollar in April. It also records that Carl Icahn's group offered $34.00 a share during the go-shop and was not declared a superior bidder.

Four years after 888 Holdings, now Evoke, agreed to pay £2.2 billion for William Hill's international assets, the company has agreed an all-share takeover by Bally's Intralot worth about £243.1 million (€281 million). A November 2025 Budget tax shock forced the board's hand.

A business bought for £2.2 billion less than four years ago may be about to change hands for a tenth of that price. The Bally's Intralot bid for Evoke is the most significant corporate development in British gambling for years.

Greentube, a prominent online casino supplier, has announced its debut in the US state of Pennsylvania through a new partnership with Caesars Entertainment.
