- Accel Entertainment is set to acquire the route operation assets of Dynasty Games in Nevada.
- The buyer anticipates this deal will enhance earnings in 2026.
Accel Entertainment (NYSE: ACEL) announced today that its Century Gaming Technologies Nevada division is purchasing the route operation assets of Dynasty Games, significantly expanding its presence in Northern Nevada.
The financial details of the deal have not been disclosed, but Accel indicated that this acquisition is projected to positively influence its earnings in 2026. The purchase not only enhances Accel’s operations in Northern Nevada but is also likely to improve the performance of its popular “Gamblers Bonus” rewards program.
“This acquisition enhances Accel’s Northern Nevada platform by adding 20 active locations, two additional sites pending regulatory approval, and around 123 electronic gaming terminals,” the statement noted. “The deal is expected to utilize Accel’s operational expertise, data analytics, and the Gamblers Bonus Loyalty Program to improve customer engagement and spur growth in the coming years.”
As of the end of the third quarter, the Chicago-based Accel reported having 2,757 gaming devices spread across 370 locations in Nevada.
How the Nevada Route Agreement Could Elevate Accel Entertainment
During Accel’s third-quarter earnings call last month, CEO Andrew Rubenstein revealed the completion of a $900 million senior secured credit facility, which strengthened the company’s financial status and liquidity. This likely facilitated the acquisition of Dynasty Games.
Accel’s business model revolves around placing video gaming terminals (VGTs) in venues such as restaurants, bars, taverns, convenience stores, liquor stores, truck stops, and grocery stores. Six years ago, the company was operational in just one state. Today, it has expanded to six, increasing its presence in the burgeoning gaming hub that is Nevada.
“This transaction fortifies Accel’s presence in the Nevada market by launching new operations in Gardnerville, Verdi, Dayton, Fernley, Stagecoach, and Sun Valley,” said Rubenstein in the press release. “Coupled with our existing network in Reno, Sparks, Carson City, Elko, Wells, Spring Creek, and Carlin, Accel now maintains the most comprehensive and extensive route coverage in the state. This competitive edge is expected to fuel ongoing growth and new location development.”
Market analysts are optimistic about Accel, with all three covering the stock assigning it a “strong buy” recommendation and an average price target of $16, indicating a potential gain of 54.44% from the recent closing price.
Accel Entertainment: A Candidate for Rebound
Accel presents a clear growth trajectory, although its shares are currently undervalued as investors often assign lower multiples to distributed gaming firms. Notably, distributed gaming has historically performed well even during economic downturns.
Moreover, Accel’s operations in Nevada are not heavily dependent on the unpredictable Las Vegas Strip, which could be an advantageous factor for the stock at a time when the main U.S. casino hub continues to face reduced visitor numbers.
