Mining magnate Clive Palmer is reportedly considering a bid to acquire assets from troubled casino operator Star Entertainment. This move follows a previous interest shown by billionaire publican Bruce Mathieson, indicating a potential consolidation within the Australian gaming sector.
First came billionaire publican Bruce Mathieson. Now it is mining magnate (and Donald Trump fan) Clive Palmer ’s turn to kick tyres at Star Entertainment . Sources told Street Talk Palmer has visited some of Star’s legacy Treasury assets in Queensland recently, accompanied by government representatives who would need to bless his bid. He’s believed to be weighing up the purchase of the old Treasury hotel and/or the car park. However, it is unclear if contracts have been exchanged.
This comes as Star Entertainment finds itself navigating financial difficulties. So, how much cash does Star Entertainment have left? Not much after this week’s interest rate bill it seems. The company received an informal offer last month that included a significant amount of up-front cash to help it weather the storm. While details of Palmer’s potential deal remain shrouded in secrecy, the timing suggests a possible rescue effort for the struggling entertainment giant. Mathieson’s earlier foray into Star Entertainment indicates a growing interest in acquiring the company’s assets, highlighting the potential for a consolidation within the Australian gaming sector.
