We all know that Vegas Partner is one of the programs currently in breach of contract. With that in mind, here is confirmation of some rumors that have circulated for some time:
Announcement out today that they’ve taken over Golden Riviera:
GOLDEN STAR GROUP ACQUIRED BY VEGAS PARTNER LOUNGE
The rumours were rife at the GIGSE conference that this deal was going down and it is now official – Vegas Partner Lounge has taken over Golden Riviera Casino and others in the Golden Star group.
With immediate effect the five Golden Riviera Casinos (Golden Riviera.com, Miami Paradise Casino.com, Slots Royale.com, River NileCasino.com and Casino France Net.com) and one Poker Room (Golden Riviera Poker.com) will come under the management of Vegas Partner Lounge whilst retaining their seperate brand identity.
“This is a major coup for us” says Austin Green, Sun Vegas Casino Manager, “The Golden Riviera Group is exceptionally strong in the European markets. Their casinos have a unique style in the industry and offer some of the best promotions around.”
No details have been released on purchase cost, or whether the former owner of Golden Riviera is to remain in the industry.
The Golden Riviera Group and Vegas Partner Lounge are to remain two separate brands.
“We decided that each group has it’s own character, it’s own style, and players, we want to maintain that individuality” comments Green. “We have no interest in becoming the largest group of online casinos, we’d rather keep the personal touch.
“We’re looking at this acquisition more as a merge. The identity Golden Riviera has built over the last few years is what appeals to us, it’s what we hope to maintain. Resources will be pooled, information shared, and hopefully bonds formed that will ensure both Vegas Partner Lounge and Golden Riviera grow from strength to strength,” he concluded.
Both groups have successfully achieved eCOGRA player protection seal status, and this will therefore remain.
Vegas Partner Lounge began as a single online casino operation with Crazy Vegas Casino.com. With the addition of Sun Vegas Casino.com and Crazy Poker.com it was obvious big things were still to come. VPL expanded further when it took over management and marketing of 777 Dragon.com, Cinema Casino.com and Arthurian Casino.com, and then in 2003 Casino US.com.
2004 saw the introduction of many additional games, and the conversion of all Vegas Partner Lounge online casinos to the latest Viper Software – sporting more games than any other online casino. With the introduction of Maple Casino.com in September 2004, Vegas Partner Lounge also introduced the Canadian dollar into the online casino market.
Do we now watch out for breaches of contract by Golden Stars?
I find it difficult to trust anyone anymore! Vegas Partner can’t be all that bad off if they are making acquisitions. I suppose we are to pay for this.
Another group of Microgaming casinos bite the dust and have to be bailed out, and who bails them out? The very group who were pleading poverty recently. Microgaming must have changed their rules to allow these buy outs as not too long ago they simply let them go to the wall, still this way it saves MG having to bail them out.
We should watch this group carefully like you say Dom anything they say cannot be trusted.
