Sun International Announces Sale of Carousel Casino

Carousel Casino For Sale

One of the unfortunate results of the Covid-19 pandemic was the economic toll placed on many industries. The South African casino industry, in particular, was hard hit, and many groups needed to make painful decisions about the future of some of their properties. One of them was Sun International, which announced the closure of several of its casinos, including the once popular casino complex, Carousel Casino in the North West province.

Sun International has now announced that the casino, which has been shut since April, is up for sale. This is to offset the brutal first half of 2020, where Sun International reported headline losses declining 615% to R885 million, compared to headline earnings of R172 million in the same period last year.

Phumelela Creditors Reject Betfred Purchase Offer

Betfred Makes Official R925 Million Bid for Phumelela

Despite its lucrative offer to buy the beleaguered SA racing company, Phumelela, the British bookmaker group, Betfred, was turned down by creditors. Instead, the majority of Phumelela’s creditors voted in favour of a rescue plan involving Mary Oppenheimer and Daughters group buying up most of the assets. It should be noted that Betfred’s offer, which would have bought out the entire company, and not only part of it, was twice the amount offered by MOD.

The South African racing industry breathed a sigh of relief with the news. Phumelela is the horseracing or tote betting operator in seven out of SA’s nine provinces. The group’s severe financial difficulties placed the country’s entire horseracing industry in jeopardy, and it was crucial that a solution be found as soon as possible. SA’s horseracing industry employs over 40,000 people and pays literally hundreds of millions of Rand in taxes to the government every year.

The Swedish online casino software provider, NetEnt, has rolled out a new game in its Hotline slot franchise. Hotline 2 slot takes players on a wild return to the hot streets of Miami in the 80s.
