SKYCITY Entertainment Group advises that all conditions have now been met for its proposed acquisition of Aspinall (NZ) Limited which in turn owns a 40.5% shareholding in Christchurch Casino.

SKYCITY Entertainment Group Managing Director, Evan Davies, said that SKYCITY would, now that all necessary approvals had been granted, complete the acquisition which was announced earlier this year.
