Gaming industry mergers could hit a record next year
By Todd Prince, Las Vegas Review-Journal
The U.S. gaming market experienced several blockbuster deals in 2017.
The SLS Las Vegas, Alon project and Pinnacle Entertainment were all scooped up by competitors.
But 2018 might hold even more mergers in store for the industry as a strong economy, low borrowing costs, lack of new licenses, and the use of real estate investment trusts drive further consolidation, according to Deutsche Bank in a 2018 Gaming Outlook report.
