Another potential is to look at the historical multiple that market was prepared to pay for crowns EBITDA (12 times) on an Enterprise Value basis and then apply a discount for: a) dis-synergies: if the casinos are sold individually state by state b) lower future average EBITDA from increased regulation and lower VIP revenues.
Its interesting that the Blackstone offer represented a multiple of 12.9 times (ie slightly higher than its historical average and probably why the board rejected the offer)
