The acquisition includes three properties in the US state of Washington. “With the closing of this purchase, Maverick’s footprint in Washington continues to grow,” said Eric Persson, the majority owner of Maverick. “We now have 12 properties and nearly 180 table games in this important market.

“As a Washington native and a member of the Shoalwater Tribe, I couldn’t be prouder to be able to come back home. When all of our contemplated Washington transactions close we will provide over 3,000 jobs in the state.”

Founded in 1982, Great Canadian Gaming Corporation is a British Columbia-based company that operates 25 gaming, entertainment and hospitality facilities in Ontario, British Columbia, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
