Casinos Austria voted down a move by Czech consortium CAME Holdings to hold a majority stake in the casino operator at a recent General Meeting.

The board of the casino company voted down the move by CAME to purchase the stake owned by MTB private foundation, giving the Czech investor a majority in Casinos Austria.

However the board did approve Novomatic's increase in the company by 16.8% and now holds a total 39.5% stake, but the Czech firm has been critical of the move and legal proceedings could take place questioning the validity of the deal with Novomatic.

Those legal wranglings could drag on for several years in European courts and affect the function of Casinos Austria.
