Caesars Entertainment to acquire Centaur Holdings, LLC

Caesars Entertainment Corporation (Caesars) recently announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Centaur Holdings, LLC (Centaur) for $1.7 billion in cash, including $1.625 billion at closing and $75 million in deferred consideration. As a result of the transaction, Caesars will add Hoosier Park Racing and Casino (Hoosier Park) in Anderson, Ind. and the Indiana Grand Racing and Casino (Indiana Grand) in Shelbyville, Ind. to its Total Rewards network.
“The addition of Centaur is the first example of our post-emergence, inorganic growth strategy. The acquisition of Centaur represents an excellent opportunity to enter into a growing region. We anticipate that the deployment of Total Rewards will bring substantial benefits to current Centaur customers and the implementation of our centralized supply chain and efficient operating model will drive synergies.” – said Mark Frissora, president and CEO.
Centaur welcomes more than 6.5 million guests each year across its properties and serves more than 1.1 million members as part of its loyalty program. Caesars Entertainment considers central Indiana an attractive region for investment based on the combination of under-penetration and favorable economic fundamentals. Hoosier Park and Indiana Grand, which serve the Indianapolis area, will add to the Caesars network, which includes Horseshoe Hammond and Horseshoe Southern Indiana. Horseshoe Hammond serves the Chicagoland area and Horseshoe Southern Indiana serves the southern Indiana and Louisville area.
“We are impressed with Centaur’s operations and culture, and the strong presence it has built in its host communities. Together, we will build on our respective value creation and execution achievements for the benefit of customers, employees and local partners,” Frissora said. “We look forward to welcoming Centaur’s properties, guests and employees to the Caesars Entertainment family.“
Offering gaming, racing, dining and entertainment, both Hoosier Park and Indiana Grand feature over 2,000 of the latest slots and electronic table games, multiple dining outlets and both live and simulcast horse racing.
“We believe the acquisition of Centaur is the best use of capital to support our growth plans and the long-term value of Caesars Entertainment. Our network expansion plan is off to a great start with this strategic transaction and we continue to have a strong financial position with solid cash flows to pursue other expansion opportunities with attractive returns,” said Frissora.
