Boyd Gaming reportedly interested in the acquisition of Penn Entertainment

Penn Entertainment, a rival US gaming company, is reportedly of interest to Boyd Gaming.

Regulators in the various US states where the companies operate would have a say in how a deal would affect the landscape in the individual markets, the report stated. Financial and regulatory barriers would be present for any acquisition.

Although Penn has a market value of over US$9 billion, its future has come under scrutiny following recent criticism from an activist investor.
