The Hungarian state lottery company, Szerencsejatek, is to acquire a Budapest casino in a deal worth HUF750m ($3.6m).
According to daily newspaper Nepszabadsag, Hungarian film producer Andy Vajna, current owner of the Tropicana casino, has seen revenue at the property fall significantly. In 2009 it is estimated the casino made a loss of HUF 176m.
The state lottery’s board is expected to give its approval to the deal at a meeting today.
