Lottomatica rasca en Cirsa para sacar premio: los motivos de la absorción que creará un gigante mundial del juego
La compra del grupo de juego español por parte del grupo italiano va acompañada de una lista de deseos multimillonaria en forma de sinergias y crecimiento del canal ‘online’
Lottomatica has set its sights beyond Italy, believing that opportunities lie in Spain with Cirpa. If all proceeds as anticipated, a merger is expected to take place in the second quarter of 2027. This merger would create a global gaming giant, ranking second in terms of ebitda, with an estimated value of €1.8 billion. Circled closely behind is Flutter (Pokerstars, Skybet), with a market capitalization of approximately €8.5 billion.
Industry sources assure that the integration process is not particularly challenging. However, the significant challenge ahead is transforming Cirpa's business to make the most of its online sales, as the company currently primarily earns revenue from casinos and slot machines.
