The properties will have 237 gaming tables, 7,416 slots, and 350,000 of square footage for gaming. The deal is interesting, as the Atlantic City casino also has online gaming attached to it.

"This transaction meaningfully grows our annual rent and diversifies our tenant base, while increasing our geographic footprint.
"Eldorado is a highly respected operator of a large and diversified portfolio of regional gaming assets with a strong track record of successful acquisitions."

Yeah I'm not concerned at all for their annual income after they've been able to spent 10 figure sum for the purchase of those 6 casinos, obviously they are quite interested in land based business as well.
