LeoVegas Push Gaming

MGM Resorts is reportedly in the final stages of agreeing a deal to acquire Push Gaming via its LeoVegas brand.

According to reports, the US gambling company will acquire Malta-based games studio Push Gaming in a deal worth around €150 million. While no official announcement has been made by either company, the deal is expected to be announced some time this week.

MGM purchased LeoVegas last year in a surprise move that saw the casino giant pay €575 million for the Swedish online gambling company.

Push Gaming has been reportedly exploring a sale of the business for quite some time with Scientific Games one of several companies expressing an interest in acquiring the studio.

Based in Malta and with offices in London, Push Gaming holds licenses from the Malta Gaming Authority and the UK Gambling Commission.

The acquisition of Push Gaming follows a similar purchase in 2021 when LeoVegas’ investment arm acquired games studio Blue Guru Games.
