Accel Entertainment to Acquire Fairmount Holdings

Published

on

 

Accel Entertainment Inc. and Fairmount Holdings Inc. announced that the companies have entered into an agreement for Accel to acquire Fairmount, the owner of FanDuel Sportsbook & Horse Racing, for total consideration of approximately $35 million (based on a 20-day trailing average), payable to the sellers as 3.45 million shares of Accel Class A-1 common stock. The strategic transaction adds a promising single-site racetrack and future casino to extend Accel’s convenience gaming expertise to a larger and more concentrated venue – an adjacency in Local Gaming that is complementary to Accel’s steadily growing, route-based footprint.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, Fairmount generated $29 million of revenue and modest Adjusted EBITDA. Accel plans to invest $85-$95 million (over and above the purchase price) to fund temporary and then permanent casino construction and modest track investments. Accel’s five-year forecast suggests an Adjusted EBITDA potential of $20 to $25 million and over 75% free cash flow conversion – pointing to a compelling cash flow return on capital. The asset will be the cornerstone in a local gaming platform that builds on Accel’s capabilities and strengths as a leading route-based operator.

“As a leading distributed gaming operator in the United States, we are excited to partner with ‘Hall of Fame’ value creators Bill Stiritz and Rob Vitale to deploy our local gaming expertise in this promising sportsbook, racetrack and future casino,” said Andy Rubenstein, Accel co-founder, President, CEO and Director.

“We’re also deeply grateful to Mayor Jeff Stehman of Collinsville, state representatives Jay Hoffman (113th District) and Katie Stuart (112th District), state senator Chris Belt (57th District), the Illinois Gaming Board and the Illinois Racing Board for their support of this opportunity to reinvest and support job creation in the southern Illinois and greater St. Louis community. We are excited to be a part of an almost 100-year-old southern Illinois institution in Fairmount Park and support the Illinois agriculture and equine industries,” Rubenstein added.

“I am delighted by Accel Entertainment’s purchase of FanDuel Sportsbook & Horse Racing. This move is a testament to the vitality and potential of Collinsville. It will undoubtedly spur economic development along the Collinsville road corridor, creating jobs and bolstering our local economy. We look forward to the positive impact this acquisition will have on our city,” stated Mayor Jeff Stehman of Collinsville, IL.

“We couldn’t have found better partners than Andy and his team in this transaction, and we look forward to staying fully aligned on this journey as significant equity owners from here,” noted William Stiritz.

“We’ve long sought strategically aligned, well capitalized and proven operators in the local gaming space to realize the full potential of this sportsbook and racetrack, and Accel is the ideal fit,” said Rob Vitale, current CEO and Chairman of Post Holdings.

International Game Technology PLC announced that it recently launched its second omnichannel Wide Area Progressive (WAP) game for Canada, Money Mania slots. The game is currently available on British Columbia Lottery Corporation’s (BCLC) PlayNow.com site and at 22 BCLC-governed casinos throughout British Columbia. IGT is the only supplier in the world to offer omnichannel jackpot games with shared jackpot liquidity across the land-based, online and mobile versions of the games.

“We know our players love the excitement that the Powerbucks games offer, so BCLC is thrilled to launch IGT’s Money Mania – another title that draws upon the same opportunity for cross-channel jackpots. Both BCLC and IGT are passionate about bringing innovative games to players and fueling responsible growth in the industry. We also recognize that BCLC is in a unique position with our ability to offer cross-channel experiences for players. Whether players choose to play Money Mania at the casino or online, we’re confident this is another game they’ll love,” said Dan Beebe, BCLC Chief Operating Officer.

IGT’s Money Mania is a proven multi-level progressive (MLP) game that features player-favorite game mechanics and multiple base-game themes. The game includes a $100,000 top-level “Money Jackpot” and a fast-growing, fast-hitting second-level WAP jackpot – “Mania Jackpot”. With a jackpot-reset value of $4000, the game’s “Mania Jackpot” is designed to hit frequently, especially with land-based, online and mobile gameplay all simultaneously feeding the jackpot meter.

“IGT’s Money Mania omnichannel WAP game is designed to frequently deliver mid-to-large-size jackpots, drive cross-channel gameplay and engage BCLC players online and in casinos. Like Powerbucks, IGT’s Money Mania is at the forefront of jackpot innovation and supports IGT’s commitment to and leadership in omnichannel content and innovation,” said David Flinn, IGT SVP Sales, Canada, South and Central America.
