Bill Barry-Cotter negotiating Riviera buyback

TODAY'S Gold Coast Bulletin revealed Maritimo's Bill Barry-Cotter is attempting to buy back Riviera.

According to The Bulletin's website, Barry-Cotter has been negotiating with Riviera receivers since last year and could buy it for a fraction of the price he sold it for a decade ago.

Barry-Cotter sold Riviera to a private equity group for $180 and according to The Bulletin, industry sources indicate it could be sold for less than $30 million.
