Bingo! GSN buys Bash Gaming for an estimated $160M to $170M

Casual game maker GSN Games said today that has agreed to acquire Bash Gaming, the maker of the hit social casino game Bingo Bash. GSN didn’t say how much it paid for the company, which has a leading social bingo game with 4.4 million monthly active users. But market analyst Eilers Research estimated the price tag was $160 million to $170 million.

That suggests that social casino games, love ’em or hate ’em, are still one of the hot sectors in gaming.
