Novomatic has entered into an agreement to acquire French casino group Vikings Casinos for an undisclosed amount.
Based in Falaise, Vikings Casinos operates eleven land-based casinos throughout France, including on the Côte d’Azur.
“With the acquisition of Vikings Casinos, we are consistently pursuing our international growth strategy and strengthening our position as a leading provider in the European gaming market,” said Novomatic executive board member Stefan Krenn. “With this step, we have successfully laid the foundation for further sustainable growth in France.”
The acquisition remains subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.
“The acquisition by Novomatic opens up new opportunities for growth and further development,” said Vikings Casinos CEO Luc Le Borgne. “We are confident that the integration into such an experienced and successful company as Novomatic will help us to further strengthen our position on the French market.
“This change will enable us to work even more efficiently and benefit from the resources and expertise of the new owner.”
Earlier this month Novomatic agreed to sell ADMIRAL Group in Austria to Tipico Group.
