Century Casinos, Inc. owns and operates casinos, hotels, and entertainment venues. Its customers are everyday gamblers and resort visitors looking for slot machines, table games, and hotel stays. The company runs properties across the United States, Canada, and Poland, making it a small but geographically spread casino operator.

Century Casinos makes money primarily from gaming revenue — the money players lose at slots and table games — plus hotel stays, food, and beverage sales. It is a smaller player in the casino industry, competing against much larger chains like MGM and Caesars, which limits its pricing power and ability to attract high-spending customers. The company has taken on significant debt to fund acquisitions, including its purchase of three casinos from Vici Properties, and managing that debt load while maintaining operations is the central financial challenge the business faces going forward.
