Fertitta Entertainment agrees $17.6bn Caesars acquisition
Caesars Entertainment has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Fertitta Entertainment in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $17.6bn
Under the proposed agreement, Caesars shareholders will receive $31 per share in cash. The transaction has been approved by the Caesars board, which has recommended shareholder approval.
The combination would bring together Caesars’ casino resort portfolio, digital gaming operations and sports betting business with Fertitta Entertainment’s gaming, hospitality, restaurant and entertainment assets. The enlarged group would include 60 casino resorts and gaming facilities, Caesars’ online gaming and
sports betting platforms, more than 200 retail sports betting locations, and over 600 hospitality venues operated by Fertitta Entertainment. Caesars said its senior management team, including CEO Tom Reeg, President and COO Anthony Carano, and CFO Bret Yunker, are expected to remain in their current roles following completion of the transaction. The deal is not subject to a financing condition and will be funded through a combination of Fertitta equity, assumed debt and committed financing from a banking syndicate. The transaction remains subject to shareholder and regulatory approval. A go-shop period allowing Caesars to consider alternative proposals will run until 11 July 2026.
GeWeTe partners with Betson for Georgia COAM market
GeWeTe has entered into a partnership with Betson Enterprises to distribute self-service kiosk solutions to operators in Georgia’s Coin Operated Amusement Machine (COAM) sector. Under the agreement, GeWeTe will provide its kiosk technology while Betson will manage distribution, financing, installation and service support across the state.
The partnership comes ahead of regulatory changes taking effect on 1 July 2026, requiring Georgia COAM locations to adopt approved prize redemption methods, including gift cards. GeWeTe said its kiosk platforms are designed to support compliance while improving cash handling, redemption processes and operational efficiency. The company has more than 60,000 systems installed globally.
GeWeTe CEO Aristidis Tsikouras described Georgia as an important market and said the agreement strengthens the company’s growing US presence.
Betson Enterprises said the kiosks would help operators improve efficiency, prepare for future regulatory requirements and provide enhanced cash security.
