Bally’s Corporation has acquired Eldorado Resort Casino Shreveport from Caesars Entertainment for a total purchase price of $140m.

The company funded the acquisition using cash on hand and with available borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

The transaction is dependent on customary adjustments. Macquarie Capital and Milbank represented Caesars Entertainment on the deal.

Eldorado Resort Casino Shreveport was acquired by Caesars Entertainment 15 years ago.

Caesars Entertainment CEO Tom Reeg said: “The completion of the sale of Eldorado Resort Casino Shreveport satisfies the Federal Trade Commission request to divest the asset in connection with the Caesars-Eldorado transaction which closed earlier this year.”

Located in the US state of Louisiana, the property is situated on the banks of the Red River.
