VICI Properties Strengthens Lease Portfolio with Canada Gaming Assets

VICI Properties announced the acquisition of Deerfoot Inn & Casino, Great Northern Casino and two nearby hotels in Alberta for CAD 200.6 million (≈US 144.4 million). The assets will be folded into VICI’s existing triple‑net lease with PURE, adding CAD 16.1 million (≈US 11.6 million) of annual rent at an 8.0% cap rate. The lease resets to a new 25‑year base term with four optional five‑year renewals and escalations tied to Canadian CPI. The deal expands VICI’s portfolio to 93 experiential assets, including 54 gaming properties across North America.
