You know, I feel like its the most likely, that or it becomes another space for disney merch (but personally I'd take another crack at an arcade).

All the Deluxe Resorts used to have these kids clubs...which made so much sense. Miss them,!

I was curious, so I did a bit of research. Sounds like it's a licensing deal: "The 10-year, $1.5 billion deal with ESPN gives PENN access to ESPN personalities and channels, which include live sports, studio shows, and written articles." https://sportshandle.com/penn-2023-q2-earnings-espn-bet/

I'm not privy to their contract talks, but I would assume there's some level of revenue sharing involved.

Ah ok. So partial ownership but no revenue sharing?
