Casino Portoroz is reverting to the crisis, after several weeks had seemed imminent arrival of a new owner: the takeover bids, made by the Casino Bled by a consortium composed of companies Riviera Casino and Eurotas and the town of pyran were collected by only a few small shareholders, while the share of majority – 53.17% stake, remains in the hands of parastatal funds Kad (Kapitalska družba-capital company) and Sod (Slovenska odškodninska družba-Slovenian Compensation Company ), which have not received government permission to sell their stake.

The majority owners are therefore still the same two funds which in the opinion of The Casino Portoroz so far prevented their growth and development. The offer of the Casino Bled – 52 cents per share – was accepted by two minority shareholders, for which the company became the owner of Bled is 4.2% of the shares of Casino Portoroz. The other consortium of buyers – which offered 51 cents per share – not yet announced the results of the operation.

The owners are the two parastatal funds, which moreover have requested and obtained from the District Court of Koper blocking the attempt by the direction of Casino Portoroz to bring forward the recapitalization of the company, in anticipation of the lack of success of takeover bids.

The director of the gambling house, Tomaz Krajnc, is convinced that the two parastatal funds are damaging the Casino Portoroz and are making with their behavior at risk the maintenance of 280 jobs.
