Investing.com – Caesars Entertainment (NASDAQ:CZR) shares jumped 18% Thursday afternoon following a Financial Times report that the company is weighing takeover offers. Trading was briefly paused due to volatility.

The casino operator is exploring a sale after receiving takeover interest from multiple potential bidders, according to the report. Among those expressing interest is Fertitta Entertainment, owned by Texas gaming and hospitality billionaire Tilman Fertitta, whose holdings include the Golden Nugget casino chain.

Caesars is also considering a possible management-led buyout, according to people familiar with the matter cited by the Financial Times.

The potential transaction would represent a significant consolidation in the Las Vegas gaming market, where Caesars operates several prominent properties on the Strip.
