Following the failed takeover of Playtech

It has been known for a long time that the Aristocrat Leisure Limited group wants to expand its activities in the field of online casino games. During the month of October 2021, it had announced its intention to buy the Playtech software for no less than 3.21 billion euros.

With this in mind, he had also set aside a lot of money. But the deal fell through because of opposition from a group of Playtech shareholders based in Asia. Instead, the Aristocrat Leisure Limited group decided to buy several smaller publishers. This was confirmed today with the announcement of the acquisition of Roxor Gaming.
