A team of Pillsbury lawyers represented Global Cash Access Holdings Inc. in this week’s acquisition of casino-games company Multimedia Games for $1.2 billion, or $36.50 per share. Global Cash Access supplies ATMs and other cash-services machines to casinos, while Multimedia Games provides individual and networked gaming systems for casinos throughout North America. The combined companies will be headquartered in Las Vegas, with gaming operations based in Austin, Texas, where Multimedia Games currently operates.
According to the Daily Journal, both companies’ boards of directors unanimously approved the deal, which is expected to close in early 2015.
