LCKY Group has announced an agreement to acquire RoyalCasino, a Denmark-focused iGaming operator, in a move designed to strengthen the company’s position in regulated markets and support its long-term growth strategy.
The acquisition will expand LCKY Group’s footprint in Denmark, a market the company describes as highly attractive, stable, and well-regulated. RoyalCasino currently operates exclusively in Denmark and has built a strong position within the local online gaming sector.
According to LCKY Group, the transaction is expected to deliver immediate financial benefits, including an estimated 18–20% increase in Group revenue and a 29–31% increase in EBITDA. The company stated that the added scale is expected to improve operating leverage while supporting long-term shareholder value creation.
The deal also aligns with LCKY Group’s multi-brand strategy. By combining RoyalCasino’s local market expertise with LCKY Group’s international operations, the companies expect to create opportunities for stronger brand positioning in Denmark and potential expansion of RoyalCasino’s brands into additional markets. The acquisition is also expected to support further product improvements, enhanced customer offerings, and more efficient market execution.
LCKY Group CEO Richard Brown said:
“This is a highly strategic and financially compelling acquisition for LCKY Group. RoyalCasino brings both strong market presence and high-quality earnings in Denmark, a market that aligns closely with our focus on regulated, sustainable growth. The transaction enhances our scale, strengthens our competitive position, and provides clear opportunities to drive synergies and long-term value creation. We look forward to working closely with the RoyalCasino team to realize these opportunities.”
RoyalCasino CEO Per Petersen added:
“RoyalCasino is one of the largest online casino operators in Denmark, a market known as both well-regulated and high-value. Our industry is characterised by high levels of innovation and competition, and here we see the combination of RoyalCasino’s local expertise and LCKY’s international scale and iGaming pedigree as an excellent recipe for shared success. We look forward to introducing LCKY to our Danish customer base.”
The transaction remains subject to customary regulatory approvals and is expected to close during the second half of 2026.
Partis acted as financial advisor to RoyalCasino on the transaction.
