New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and we cannot predict those events or how they may affect us. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements. PART I Item 1. Business. As used in this report, the terms “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us” refer to Century Casinos, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, taken as a whole, unless the context otherwise requires. This report includes amounts translated into US dollars from certain foreign currencies. For a description of the currency conversion methodology and exchange rates used for certain transactions, see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this report. The following information should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this report. Overview Century Casinos, Inc., a Delaware corporation founded in 1992, is a casino entertainment company that develops and operates gaming establishments as well as related lodging, restaurant, horse racing (including off-track betting) and entertainment facilities primarily in North America. Our main goal is to grow our business by actively pursuing the development or acquisition of new gaming opportunities and reinvesting in our existing operations. We began operating land-based casinos in 1996 with the acquisition of our casino in Cripple Creek, Colorado. In 2006, we opened casinos in Central City, Colorado and Alberta, Canada. Between 2010 and 2019, we acquired two additional casinos and developed two Racing and Entertainment Centers (“RECs”) in Alberta, Canada. In 2013, we increased our ownership in Casinos Poland, Ltd., the owner and operator of eight casinos throughout Poland, to a majority 66.6% ownership interest. In December 2019, we completed our largest acquisition to date, adding three properties to our United States (“US”) portfolio, two in Missouri and one in West Virginia (the “Acquisition”). 2020 Business Developments In March 2020, we temporarily closed all of our casinos, hotels and other facilities to comply with quarantine orders issued by governments to contain the spread of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic. Our Polish locations reopened on May 18, 2020 and our North American operations reopened between June 1, 2020 and June 17, 2020. In December 2020, we again temporarily closed our Canadian casinos and RECs and our Poland casinos to comply with quarantines issued by the Alberta and Polish governments to contain the spread of COVID-19. Our Poland casinos reopened February 12, 2021 but our Canadian casinos remain closed. As discussed further in this report, the temporary closures of all our facilities between March 2020 and June 2020 and additional closures in December 2020 due to COVID-19 negatively impacted our 2020 results. The COVID-19 situation continues to evolve, and it currently appears that the pandemic will adversely impact us at least through the first half of 2021. 3 In May 2018, we opened Century Casino Bath (“CCB”) in Bath, England. The casino was closed in March 2020 due to COVID- 19. Due to challenging conditions that included historical and forecast losses due to changes in the regulatory environment for casinos in England requiring enhanced due diligence of customers, CCB’s board of directors determined that CCB would enter into creditors voluntary liquidation, which occurred in May 2020.
