\"\"Seems there’s no honor among business partners: While lugging Caesars Entertainment<\/strong> on his back from Cleveland<\/strong> to Cincinnati<\/strong> and thence to Baltimore<\/strong>, mogul Dan Gilbert<\/strong> had a side deal of his own going. He’s buying a majority stake<\/a> in Greektown Casino<\/strong> (right<\/em>). This at least portends the rescue of Greektown from bumbling ownership and revolving-door management. But Gilbert’s not bringing Caesars with him … at least for now. There’s a not-so-small gambling salon right across the river called Caesars Windsor<\/strong>, one of several albatrosses around Gary Loveman<\/strong>‘s neck. The endgame may well be for Caesars to try and unload their tanking Canadian casino — at fire sale prices, no doubt. I suppose they could<\/em> just hang onto their respective footholds and slug it out across the river, which would be pretty interesting albeit not very pretty … but this aforementioned scenario would enable Caesars to buy into Gilbert’s Greektown action and theoretically further Loveman’s attempt to crack the Toronto<\/strong> market … although you’d have to be on<\/em> crack to lend Caesars the billions required for such a venture. The ever-fickle Loveman was ready to drop Windsor<\/strong> like a hot brick the moment Toronto became available, so the chance to get into it and Detroit<\/strong> in close succession would be darn near irresistible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
