PRESS RELEASE

Century Casinos, Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter and Year Ended 2013 Results

Colorado Springs, Colorado – March 31, 2014 – Century Casinos, Inc. (NASDAQ Capital Market® and Vienna Stock Exchange: CNTY) today announced its financial results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2013.  

2013 Highlights*

Fourth Quarter 2013 Highlights*

The period over period increases in net operating revenue and Adjusted EBITDA relate to the inclusion of operating results from Casinos Poland Ltd. (CPL) beginning in the second quarter of 2013. In April 2013, the Company completed the purchase of an additional 33.3% ownership interest in CPL. The Company owns a 66.6% ownership interest in CPL and consolidates CPL financial information as a majority-owned subsidiary for which the Company has a controlling financial interest. Prior to the acquisition of this additional interest in CPL, the Company owned 33.3% of CPL and accounted for the CPL ownership interest as an equity investment.

On November 29, 2013, our subsidiary Century Casinos Europe GmbH finalized credit and management agreements with United Horsemen of Alberta, Inc.  (UHA)  in connection with the development of a Racing Entertainment Center (REC)  project in the north metropolitan area of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The project will include a horse race track and other gaming, restaurant and entertainment facilities. Under the agreements, we acquired 15% of UHA, control the UHA board of directors and will manage the development and operation of the REC project. As of November 29, 2013, we began consolidating UHA as a minority owned subsidiary for which we have a controlling financial interest. While unaffiliated

shareholders currently own the remaining 85% of UHA, we have the right to convert $11 million (that we will provide out of a total of $24 million for the development of the REC project) into a 60% ownership stake in UHA, bringing our total to 75%. We account for and report the current 85% UHA ownership interest that we do not own as a non-controlling financial interest.

Said Erwin Haitzmann and Peter Hoetzinger, Co Chief Executive Officers of Century Casinos:  “Since the end of the third quarter of 2013, it has been quite challenging for casino operators in many regional North American gaming markets, and we were certainly no exception to that trend. Our business performed behind expectations, mostly because of unusual external challenges such as the devastating floods in Colorado and Calgary in the summer and the strong storms in the winter.

During 2013, against a backdrop of ongoing uncertainty in the macroeconomic picture and consumer weakness in most of the markets that we operate in, we made significant progress with the implementation of our strategy to increase shareholder value. From an operational perspective, we diligently focused on refining and adjusting our product, our marketing and our amenities. We’ve also improved our operational and financial flexibility, which will allow us to consider a  variety of potential growth opportunities that we believe will create significant value for our business and our investors in the years to come. We are particularly excited about the development progress and potential of the Century Downs racetrack and casino in Calgary”.

*  The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings (loss) before interest, income taxes (benefit), depreciation, amortization, pre-opening expenses, non-cash stock based compensation charges, asset impairment costs, (gains) losses on disposition of fixed assets, discontinued operations, realized foreign currency (gains) losses, gain on business combination and certain other one-time items. Intercompany transactions consisting primarily of management and royalty fees and interest, along with their related tax effects, are excluded from the presentation of net earnings and Adjusted EBITDA reported for each property. Not all of the aforementioned items occur in each reporting period, but have been included in the definition based on historical activity. These adjustments have no effect on the consolidated results as reported under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA is not considered a measure of performance recognized under US GAAP. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a valuable measure of the relative performance of the Company and its properties. The gaming industry commonly uses Adjusted EBITDA as a method of arriving at the economic value of a casino operation. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to compare the relative operating performance of separate operating units by eliminating the above mentioned items associated with the varying levels of capital expenditures for infrastructure required to generate revenue, and the often high cost of acquiring existing operations. EBITDA (Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is used by the Company’s lending institution to gauge operating performance. The Company’s computation of Adjusted EBITDA may be different from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similar measures used by other companies within the gaming industry. Please see the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net earnings (loss) above.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
