Global entertainment giant, Universal Entertainment, has initiated Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings in Nevada. Although not officially stated, indications suggest this action primarily impacts their American branches.
This development follows a financially draining legal dispute with an investor, prompting the company to pursue financial respite through Chapter 11.
Despite this obstacle, Universal Entertainment underscores its dedication to maintaining normal operations. They intend to utilize the bankruptcy process to reorganize their financial standing while protecting the interests of their debtors, patrons, and workforce.
Chief Executive Yugo Kinoshita recognized the challenging circumstances leading to this choice, characterizing it as a necessary tactical maneuver. He conveyed optimism that this reorganization will ultimately bolster the company’s enduring stability and uphold its heritage within the gaming realm.
This announcement arrives merely a month after Universal Entertainment Europe revealed the launch of its inaugural European office, underscoring the company’s intricate global reach.
In a final push to remain viable, Aruze Gaming America has established a fresh sales and service center in Europe. The firm is evidently aiming to access emerging markets across Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa as its future in the US appears progressively grim.
Despite projecting optimism and securing a new agreement with BetMGM in January 2022 – introducing four fresh slot games on BetMGM’s platform within New Jersey – the outlook seems ominous for Aruze.
