A deal for GPI to acquire Gemaco (GemGroup) was announced a few weeks ago -- see story here:

One of the key phrases in announcing the letter of intent, is that the structure is an ASSET acquisition of GemGroup by GPI.
Meaning that GPI gets the assets on a go-forward basis, but does not assume the past liabilities of GemGroup ... as I understand such transactions.
Given the card problems with this Borgata / Phil Ivey situation, and the previous unshuffled-decks situation with the AC Golden Nugget baccarat players a while back, GPI is smart to structure it this way.
