In December 2007, the Company announced a transaction to get hold of Cannery Casino Resorts (CCR) which operates four casinos in Nevada and Western Pennsylvania in the USA providing services to local and regional clientele. This transaction is likely to close late 2008, subject to regulatory approval.
Crown demerged from PBL and is intended to become a global provider of gaming services. The Company’s distinguishing factor is its geographical distribution of the assets at both local and international levels.
Crown History
CWN was established as a result of the demerger of the PBL business. It commenced its gaming investments by purchasing $1.8B of Crown Casino in 1999, followed by the acquirement of Burswood Casino in 2004. The company then entered into principal gaming markets like Las Vegas and Macau.
