By Phil - 12. maaliskuuta 2021
The sale of the state-owned gaming group Westspiel is now down to three bidders who will now put forward their specific offers, according to the Ministry of Finance.
The Europe-wide procurement procedure for the sale of the company shares in the WestSpiel Group was launched on December 18 under the management of Warth & Klein Grant Thornton AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft who is acting as transaction advisor.
According to the finance committee of the state parliament, there is no minimum sale price. For the period of the concession until 2035, the state government expects gross gaming revenue of €3.1bn.
The Ministry of Finance says the actual profit of the casinos will depend on the future owner and whether more casinos are opened. The state approved a privatisation bill that would allow an option for two completely new licences.
As a state-licensed casino operator, the WestSpiel Group currently has 900 employees. The six casinos in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, owned by Westspiel, were profitable for the first time in five years in 2019.
Aachenin, Bad Oeynhausenin, Bremenin, Bremerhavenin, Dortmundin ja Duisburgin kasinot nousivat reilulla neljänneksellä vuoteen 2018 verrattuna noin 117 miljoonaan euroon Westspielin vuoden 2019 konsernitilinpäätöksen mukaan, jonka NRW:n valtiovarainministeri Lutz Lienenkämper (CDU) julkaisi aiemmin. eduskunnan budjettivaliokunnan kokous.
Westspiel teki konsernin nettotuloksen konsernitilinpäätöksen mukaan lähes 3.2 miljoonaa euroa. Edellisenä vuonna tämä positio laski noin 3.6 miljoonaa euroa. Julkisen sektorin kasinoverot nousivat noin 13 prosenttia lähes 59 miljoonaan euroon.
