In a move reflecting its strategy of international expansion within the experiential real estate sector, VICI Properties has completed the acquisition of the real estate assets of Deerfoot Inn & Casino and Great Northern Casino in Alberta, Canada. The transaction was valued at CAD 200.6 million, approximately USD 144.4 million. This closing follows a sale-leaseback arrangement tied to Pure Casino Entertainment's acquisition of Gamehost.
This acquisition strengthens VICI's position as a premier owner of gaming and entertainment real estate, adding to a portfolio that includes iconic landmarks like Caesars Palace. Compared to peers in the specialized REIT space, such as Gaming and Leisure Properties (GLPI), VICI continues to aggressively diversify its revenue streams geographically outside the U.S. market. Per market data, such acquisitions are designed to secure long-term, stable cash flows through triple-net lease structures.
