One idea would be to close or sell off those loss making venues and keep the rest, another would be to sell off all non-London casinos and only keep London based operations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Currently Caesars UK have: the Empire Casino, The Sportsman, Playboy London, Manchester 235, Alea Nottingham, Alea Glasgow, Rendezvous Brighton, Ramses Cairo, The Kings &amp; Queens Cairo, Caesars Cairo and Emerald Resort in Africa.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The iGaming Post has contacted both Caesars and Silver Point Capital for comment but at the time of writing this article neither has responded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to sources close to the business Caesars Entertainment EMEA has been sold to a private equity company based in the US.
