Bwin interested in the acquisition of Gioco Digitale

Italian newspapers report today the information about the potential acquisition by Bwin, the listed Austrian gambling company, of Gioco Digitale, one of the biggest Italian licensed gaming operators which has been recently active especially in the skill games sector.

According to the press, Bwin will pay € 90-95m for 100% of Gioco Digitale. The negotiations have been confirmed by Bwin’s management, but are still ongoing and in particular it is not clear what impact the potential acquisition will have on Gioco Digitale whose market share was lowering during the last months especially because of the entrance into the market of relevant foreign operators.
