twitterAnchor, Powerhouse merger clears hurdles
Friday, June 25, 1999 | 11:05 a.m.
Nevada and Mississippi gaming regulators approved the merger of Anchor Gaming and Powerhouse Technologies Inc.
Las Vegas-based Anchor is paying $19.50 a share in cash, or about $220 million, and assuming $70 million of debt to acquire Powerhouse. The companies said they expect the merger to close next week.
Anchor designs and distributes slot machines and operates a gaming machine route in Nevada and two casinos in Colorado.
Powerhouse, headquartered in Atlanta, supplies lottery and pari-mutuel hardware and software through its VLC, AWI and United Tote subsidiaries and operates Sunland Park Racetrack & Casino in New Mexico.
Powerhouse's AWI offices will remain open in Atlanta, as will the VLC offices in Bozeman, Mont., and United Tote facilities in Timonium, Md.
