IGT to merge Global Gaming and PlayDigital in $6.2 billion Everi deal
29 Feb 2024
International Game Technology said on Thursday it was separating its global gaming and playdigital businesses and combining them with gaming machine maker Everi Holdings in a deal valued at $6.2 billion, including debt.
IGT shareholders are expected to own about 54% of the combined company, with the rest going to Everi stockholders.
The deal, which comes after IGT’s board launched a strategic review of its Global Gaming and PlayDigital businesses, will separate the firm’s offerings such as land-based gaming, iGaming, sports-betting and fintech, leaving it a pure-play global lottery business.
