Foley & Lardner LLPは、イリノイ州のルートゲーミングオペレーターであるHousatonic PartnersおよびUniversal Gaming Group (UGG)を代理し、UGGが最近、世界的なホスピタリティおよびエンターテインメント企業であるDelaware Northの子会社であるGaming & Entertainment Management - Illinois LLC (GEM)と合併したことを明らかにした。
The newly formed entity, Universal GEM Gaming LLC, is now the fourth-largest route-gaming operator in Illinois, the largest route-gaming market in the U.S., with approximately 2,500 Video Gaming Terminals (VGTs) supported by 125 employees statewide. The combination of UGG and GEM strengthens the partners’ route-gaming business in Illinois and positions Universal GEM Gaming for future growth, with an expanded geographic footprint and the ability to leverage the operational strengths of both companies.
The Foley deal team was led by partners Susan Pravda and Alexander Miska and included associates Megan Fouse, Ellie O’Neill, and Bayleigh Sauerwald. Additional subject matter support was provided by partners Kathleen Bardunias, Chanley Howell, Casey Knapp, Christopher McKenna, John Palmer, and Joshua Roling, of counsel Mark Neuberger, senior counsels Nicholas Johnson and Sonia Kothari, and associate Gage Maurer.
