Ho Ho H2O
It’s a good thing that news in the casino industry is virtually nonexistent today. S&G has been sidelined by a ruptured pipe that burst midday on Christmas, dampening our Yuletide spirit literally and figuratively. Whilst we wait for the plumber, … Continue reading

Illinois, Ohio still firm; Daffy bill in N.Y.; Raiders collapse
November was good for casinos in Ohio and Illinois, both of which posted strong numbers, modestly ahead of last year but—in Ohio’s case—still high heavens above 2019. Fresh off its October dethroning of MGM Northfield Park, rival Hollywood Columbus slipped … Continue reading

Dog & pony show; Snow job in Massachusetts melts

MGM: Change partners and dance; 888 TKO’d
It’s Blackstone Group out, Vici Properties in at MGM Grand and Mandalay Bay, as Vici exercised its option over the half (OK, 49.9%) that it didn’t already own. Blackstone is $2.8 billion richer as a result, including $700 million in … Continue reading
