In January, the company bought the non-gaming assets of the Atlantic Club, an Atlantic City casino that began life as Steve Wynn\u2019s Golden Nugget in 1980. Upon completing the sale, Caesars closed the property with no intention of reopening it\u2014removing a competitor from the beleaguered Jersey Shore gaming market.

\n\tThen Caesars Interactive Entertainment\u2014a subsidiary that deals with online and social gaming\u2014bought Pacific Interactive, an Israel-based company that offers the popular Facebook, iPhone and Android slot game House of Fun. Although the 700,000 or so daily visitors play for free, small purchases of additional chips add up: The company brought in about $30 million in revenue last year. Caesars is folding Pacific into its substantial social gaming portfolio, which includes games like World Series of Poker-branded poker, Slotomania and Bingo Blitz.
\n\tIt\u2019s no secret that both online and social gaming are growing; millions of people play \u201cfor free\u201d each day, and at least 10 states\u2014including California and Texas\u2014are mulling the legalization of straight-up online gambling. The two transactions show the evolution of the way Americans play\u2014and the way Las Vegas-based gaming companies make money.
