Notable Quotes 2
Increased MZA Activity Facing a lack of new greenfield opportunities, gaming operators have once again shifted their focus to M&A activity in order to fuel growth.
We believe that 2018 is primed to be another year of record activity given the excess of smaller operators who could potentially benefit from scale and multi-asset corporations and REITs expressing willingness to grow via acquisitions.
