Did Bally’s Buy Twin River Casino?

In February 2020, Bally’s Corporation announced its plans to buy Rhode Island’s Twin River Casino for $267 million. The deal is still pending regulatory approval, but if it goes through, it would be a major coup for Bally’s.

Bally’s is a smaller operator compared to some of the other companies that have been bidding for Twin River, including MGM Resorts and Caesars Entertainment. But Bally’s has been on an acquisitions tear lately, buying up four casinos in the past year.

PRO TIP:Twin River Casino was not purchased by Bally’s, but rather by Twin River Worldwide Holdings, Inc. (TRWH), a publicly traded company, in a deal that was completed in February 2021. TRWH is the parent company of both Twin River Casino and Bally’s Corporation.

The purchase of Twin River would give Bally’s a foothold in the Northeast gaming market. It would also add another 1,600 slot machines and 60 table games to Bally’s portfolio.

The deal is not without its risks, however. Bally’s is taking on a lot of debt to finance the purchase, and the company’s stock price has been volatile in recent months.

Still, if the deal goes through, it would be a big win for Bally’s. And it would give the company a strong platform from which to grow its business in the years to come.
