Largest Gaming Corporation in Peru: CIRSA, a Spanish Entity
Hear ye, hear ye! ’tis about CIRSA, a gambling giant that's been spinning its wheels in the Peruvian market for quite some time now. With 19 land-based casinos, 74 betting shops, and a whopping 3,200 gaming machines, they're definitely making a splash. According to the SBCNews, they've got their eyes set on expanding further, particularly in the Peruvian market.
But wait, there's more! Apuesta Total, another gambling powerhouse, raked in over €100 million last year. CIRSA's got its eye on Apuesta Total, planning to snap up an extra 30% of its shares in the near future.
CIRSA's not just stopping at land-based casinos, oh no. They're diving headfirst into the digital realm, and this acquisition is part of that grand plan. They've already made a splash in Mexico with their acquisition of Ganabet.
Now, here's where things get interesting! Industry insiders suspect that CIRSA's digital growth strategy is shrouded in mystery. Blackstone, CIRSA's current owner, recently hit the brakes on its public offering, hinting at a strategic reevaluation. This pause might be due to some SPAC or IPO plans, meaning CIRSA's online growth game might be undergoing a revamp.
The wider industry's abuzz with merger and acquisition activity, especially in regulated markets. If Blackstone stays on board, CIRSA might follow suit post-IPO, aligning with this acquisitive approach.
And let's not forget about the regulatory environment. Blackstone's recent moves suggest they prefer "regulated online gambling" in mature European markets like Italy and Germany, rather than unregulated territories.
But remember, no concrete reports about CIRSA’s online-specific acquisitions or tech partnerships have surfaced as of yet. For any juicy details, keep an eye on Blackstone's next moves post-Urbaser deal closure. Stay tuned, folks! This gambling tale ain't over yet!
