**CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION**

This Annual Report on Form 10-K and certain information incorporated herein by reference contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and, as such, may involve risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding projects in development and other opportunities, our strategic review process, our credit agreement with Goldman (as defined herein) and obligations under our Master Lease (as defined herein) and our ability to repay our debt and other obligations, outcomes of legal proceedings, changes in our tax provisions or exposure to additional income tax liabilities, impairments and plans for our casinos and our Company including estimates, forecasts and expectations regarding 2026 and later results, and any other statements that are not purely historical. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "intend," "estimate," "anticipate," "believe," "could," "potential," "continue" or similar terminology. These statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of the management of the Company based on information currently available to management. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements included or incorporated by reference in this report are subject to additional risks and uncertainties further discussed under Item 1A. "Risk Factors" and are based on information available to us on the filing date of this report. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. 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 growing and reinvesting in our existing operations.

We began operating 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. In 2007, we purchased a 33.3% ownership interest in Casinos Poland, Ltd. ("CPL"), the owner and operator of casinos throughout Poland, and in 2013 we purchased an additional 33.3% ownership interest in CPL, resulting in a majority 66.6% ownership interest. Between 2015 and 2019, we acquired an additional casino and developed two racing and entertainment centers ("RECs") in Alberta, Canada. In December 2019, we added three properties to our United States ("US") portfolio, two in Missouri and one in West Virginia (the "2019 Acquisition"). In connection with this acquisition, we entered into a triple net lease agreement (the "Master Lease") with subsidiaries of VICI Properties Inc. ("VICI PropCo"). In 2022, we acquired 50% of Smooth Bourbon LLC ("Smooth Bourbon"), which leases the land and building for the Nugget Casino Resort (the "Nugget") in Reno-Sparks, Nevada. In 2023, we acquired the operations of the Nugget and Rocky Gap Casino, Resort & Golf ("Rocky Gap") in Flintstone, Maryland.

**Operations**

We view each region in which we operate as a separate operating segment and each casino or other operation within those markets as a reporting unit. During the fourth quarter of 2025, due to changes in expected long-term future economic characteristics, we determined that the aggregation of operating segments within the United States reportable segment was no longer appropriate. As a result, we reorganized our reportable segments to provide greater specificity within the United States. We aggregate all operating segments into five reportable segments based on the geographical locations in which our casinos operate: United States – East ("US East"), United States – Midwest ("US Midwest"), United States – West ("US West"), Canada and Poland. We have additional

------

business activities including certain other corporate and management operations that are not included in our reportable segments that we present for reconciling purposes.

The general characteristics of our properties, including machine and table counts and the number of hotel rooms at our casinos, are provided in Part I, Item 2. "Properties".

**2025 Business Developments**

*Sports Betting – Missouri*

In May 2025, we announced that we have partnered with BetMGM, LLC ("BetMGM") to operate a sports book at Cape Girardeau and an online and mobile sports betting application under our license in Missouri. On December 1, 2025, the sports book at Cape Girardeau opened and online betting started. The agreement includes a percentage of net gaming revenue payable to us, with a guaranteed minimum.

*Additional Projects*

We continue to explore additional potential gaming projects and acquisition opportunities. Along with the capital needs of potential projects or acquisitions, there are various other risks which, if they materialize, could affect our ability to complete a proposed project or acquisition or could eliminate its feasibility altogether. For more information on these and other risks related to our business, see Item 1A, "Risk Factors" below.

**Strategic Review Process**

In August 2025, we announced that our Board of Directors (the "Board") initiated a comprehensive strategic review of our operations, capital structure and strategic growth options. The review is exploring a range of potential strategic alternatives for our assets and businesses aimed at enhancing shareholder value and supporting long-term growth. These alternatives may include opportunities to unlock value within our existing property portfolio, optimize our capital structure, evaluate potential mergers, strategic partnerships, or the sale of the Company, and to analyze potential divestments of assets or other asset-level transactions. The Board has not set a timetable for the conclusion of this review. At this stage, no commitments or decisions have been made and there can be no assurance that the review will result in any transaction or particular change to our business. We do not intend to make further public comments on the process unless and until we determine that further disclosure is appropriate or necessary.

**Marketing and Competition**

We face intense competition from other casinos within the jurisdictions in which we operate. Many of our competitors are larger and have substantially greater name recognition and financial and marketing resources than we do. We seek to compete through promotion of our players' clubs, enhancement of social networking initiatives and other targeted marketing efforts. In addition to our players' clubs, we also have various cash, free play, gift and prize promotions. Our marketing focuses on competition and other facts and circumstances of each market area in which we operate. All visitors to our properties are offered the opportunity and encouraged to join our players' club. We maintain a proprietary database that consists primarily of slot machine customers that allows us to create effective targeted marketing and promotional programs, point incentives, cash and merchandise giveaways, coupons, downloadable promotional credits, preferred parking, food, lodging, game tournaments and other special events. In the United States, our players' club cards allow us to update our database and track member gaming preferences, including, but not limited to, maximum, minimum, and total amounts wagered and frequency of visits. We have designed reward programs based on total amounts wagered and frequency of visits to reward customer loyalty and attract new customers to our properties. Those who qualify for VIP status receive additional benefits compared to regular club membership, such as increased free play, promotional table game chips, food and beverage and hotel offerings and invitations to exclusive VIP events.

***US East***

Mountaineer has four competitors within 50 miles, two in Pennsylvania, one in West Virginia and one in Ohio. Mountaineer is the area's only full-service casino resort located on the Ohio River in the northern panhandle of West Virginia. We market this casino as a destination for year-round entertainment. Mountaineer primarily attracts customers from neighboring Ohio and from the greater Pittsburgh area. Mountaineer also hosts the annual West Virginia Derby horse racing event. We have partnered with two sports betting operators and two iGaming partners in West Virginia.

Rocky Gap has five competitors within 80 miles, four in Pennsylvania and one in West Virginia. Rocky Gap has had a AAA 4-Diamond Award® designation for 23 years and is the only awarded casino resort in western Maryland. The property also operates the only Jack Nicklaus Design Golf Course in Maryland. Rocky Gap attracts customers from southwest Pennsylvania including Pittsburgh, Maryland including Baltimore, eastern West Virginia, and northern Virginia, including Washington D.C.

***US Midwest***

Cape Girardeau and Caruthersville have competitors in Missouri, Arkansas and Illinois. The distance between our Cape Girardeau and Caruthersville properties is 85 miles. While our two properties share a small portion of our customer database, we do not believe that our properties compete against one another for customers in any material way. The closest competitor to Cape Girardeau is located approximately 56 miles away in southern Illinois. The majority of Caruthersville's customers reside in Tennessee. The closest competitor to Caruthersville is located in Arkansas and is 90 miles away. We believe that our expansion projects at both Missouri locations completed in 2024 will allow us to continue to compete for customers that desire a multi-day visit to Cape Girardeau or Caruthersville. We partnered with BetMGM to conduct sports betting at our Cape Girardeau property and through an online app. Sports betting began in Missouri on December 1, 2025. Marshall Yards, located in Kentucky, opened in February 2026. While we do not believe that this location will impact our casinos in Missouri due to its distance from our casinos, an increase in competitors in our markets could lead to a decrease in visitors at our casinos and have a negative impact on our results of operations in Missouri.

Cripple Creek and Central City are located in historic mining towns each about an hour from a major metropolitan city and are highly competitive casino markets. CRC has 11 competitors located within a half mile of the casino. CTL has 20 competitors within a mile of the casino, including competitors in the city of Black Hawk that have larger hotels, upscale dining, performance centers and spa facilities. There are competitors in each city that offer covered parking and more hotel rooms than our casinos. In addition, some of our competitors may offer larger betting limits or certain games not offered by us. We have partnered with a sports betting operator that conducts sports wagering under one of the three Colorado master licenses for sports wagering held by our Colorado subsidiaries.

***US West***

The Nugget is located in the Reno-Sparks area of Nevada. There are more than 20 casinos in the Reno-Sparks market. We market the casino through concerts, events and amenities such as its high-end steak house and popular oyster bar. The property has over 1,300 hotel rooms for casino guests as well as convention customers and an 8,500 seat outdoor event center that holds concerts, an annual The Best in the West Nugget Rib Cook-Off and other events, such as Hot August Nights.

***Canada***

Our casinos in the Edmonton market have five competitors. Our casinos within the Edmonton market are within 30 miles of each other; however, we do not believe that our properties compete against one another for customers. CRA is one of two casinos in the city of Edmonton with a hotel and showrooms and is the only casino in the market to offer a complimentary heated parking garage. CMR is the only casino in the market with a horse racetrack. CRA and CSA each have a competitor approximately five miles away, and CMR's closest competitor is located approximately 17 miles away. A competitor has received conditional approval to relocate its casino from Camrose, Alberta, to south Edmonton, approximately 11 miles from our Century Mile property. We anticipate the casino will open in 2027 once construction is complete and final approvals are received. CDR is located in the Calgary market and has seven competitors (two of which have a combination of hotel and casino). It is the only property in the market with a horse racetrack, and it is one of two casinos in the market with an off-track betting parlor. CDR's closest competitor is located approximately eight miles away. Additional gaming facilities are allowed in the markets in which we operate. Consideration for additional gaming facilities will be subject to market analysis done by the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission ("AGLC"). An increase in competitors in our markets could lead to a decrease in visitors at our casinos and have a negative impact on our results of operations in Canada.

Our main marketing activities for these properties focus on casino branding, promoting the racetracks, the players' club program and promotions made through various marketing channels. Our casinos in Alberta participate in the Winner's Edge, an Alberta-wide casino loyalty program implemented by the AGLC. Players who sign up for the program can earn points that can be redeemed for free play, take part in monthly contests and receive discounts on food in any participating casino restaurant. Our casinos offer Winner's Edge in addition to our own loyalty program. Alberta casinos share in an AGLC Winner's Edge Marketing Fund based on Winner's Edge player card usage. The AGLC operates an online gaming website, "Play Alberta," offering online slot and table

------

games as well as online sports wagering, including single event sports wagering. The website competes primarily with unregulated online gaming websites that are currently available to Alberta residents. We have not experienced a negative impact to our results of operations in Canada from online gaming; however, increased competition from online gaming could occur and adversely affect our results of operations in Alberta in the future. In June 2025, Alberta's Bill 48 regulating iGaming in Alberta passed. The bill will create an open market for online sports betting and iGaming with retail sports betting available at casinos and specific sports venues. The regulatory framework is still being finalized, but it is expected that casinos will have the option to select a licensed third-party provider or partner with AGLC to provide sports betting and iGaming products. We plan to offer retail sports betting at our locations in Alberta through either a licensed third-party provider or the AGLC.

CMR operates the majority of the Alberta pari-mutuel network and is the exclusive operator for its home market area covering Edmonton, Calgary and their respective surrounding areas. In addition to permitting customers to place wagers at off-track betting locations, the network offers advance deposit wagering for online wagering.

***Poland***

There are 52 casino licenses available throughout Poland. The Polish government generally forbids the marketing of gaming activities outside of a casino, but the marketing of entertainment is permissible. CPL relies on the locations of its casinos, which are primarily in hotels in major cities throughout Poland, to attract customers. The Polish government issues casino licenses in Poland by district, and there are additional casinos in each district in which CPL operates. For example, five other casinos in the Warsaw district compete with our casino operating in Warsaw. The Polish Minister of Finance does not disclose individual casino data. Poland also has slot arcades and online gaming that operate through a state-run company. We have not experienced a negative impact to our results of operations in Poland from slot arcades or online gaming; however, increased competition from slot arcades that are located in the cities in which our casinos are located as well as online gaming could occur and adversely affect our results of operations in the future. In addition, we have been unsuccessful in obtaining casino licenses for some locations following their expiration.

**Seasonality** 

At all of our North American properties, winter weather conditions may have an adverse impact on daily business levels.

***US East*** *–* In West Virginia, we attract more customers from March to August during the racing season. In Maryland, we also attract more customers in the summer months due to the golf course and the location of the casino adjacent to Lake Habeeb and the outdoor activities surrounding it, including a private beach.

***US Midwest*** *–* Our casinos in Colorado attract more customers during the warmer months from May through September. Our casinos in Missouri attract customers throughout the year with the highest business volumes in February and March.

***US West*** *–* In Nevada, we attract more customers in the summer months because of outdoor concerts and events that take place in immediate proximity to the casino.

***Canada*** *–* Canada generally attracts a steady influx of customers throughout the calendar year. However, both Century Downs and Century Mile attract additional customers during the summer months of the racing season as Alberta residents partake in more outdoor activities. Our off-track betting parlors attract more customers during the peak racing season from May through August.

***Poland*** *–* CPL generally attracts more customers from October through March because domestic customers generally vacation during the summer months.

**Governmental Regulation and Licensing**

The ownership and operation of casino gaming facilities are subject to extensive state, local, foreign, provincial or federal regulations. We are required to obtain and maintain gaming licenses in each of the jurisdictions in which we conduct gaming operations. The limitation, conditioning, suspension, revocation or non-renewal of gaming licenses, or the failure to reauthorize gaming in certain jurisdictions, would materially adversely affect our gaming operations in that jurisdiction. In addition, changes in laws that restrict, prohibit or permit gaming operations in any jurisdiction, including the removal of the AGLC's moratorium on approving additional gaming facilities, could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. In February 2023, the AGLC approved a temporary increase from 15% of slot machines net sales retained by casinos to 17%, which currently runs through March 31, 2029. We estimate that the 2% increase in the slot machine net sales percentage resulted in net operating revenue of approximately $2.9 million at our Canadian properties for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Statutes and regulations can require us to meet various standards relating to, among other matters, business licenses, registration of employees, floor plans, background investigations of licensees and employees, historic preservation, building, fire and accessibility requirements, payment of gaming taxes, and regulations concerning equipment, machines, chips, gaming participants, and ownership interests. Civil and criminal penalties, including shutdowns or the loss of our ability to operate gaming facilities in a

------

particular jurisdiction, can be assessed against us and/or our officers to the extent of their individual participation in, or association with, a violation of any of the state or local gaming statutes or regulations. Such laws and regulations apply in all jurisdictions in which we may do business. Management believes that we are in compliance with all applicable gaming and non-gaming regulations. A detailed description of the regulations to which we are subject is contained in Exhibit 99.1 to this report, which is incorporated herein by reference.

***Other Regulations***

We are subject to certain foreign, federal, state, provincial and local safety and health, employment and environmental laws, regulations and ordinances that apply to our non-gaming operations. We have not made, and do not anticipate making, material expenditures with respect to these laws, regulations and ordinances. However, the coverage of, and attendant compliance costs associated with, such laws, regulations and ordinances may result in future additional costs to our operations.

Rules and regulations regarding the service of alcoholic beverages are strict. The loss or suspension of a liquor license could significantly impair our operations. Local building, parking and fire codes and similar regulations also could impact our operations and any proposed development of our properties.

We also deal with significant amounts of cash in our operations and are subject to various reporting and anti-money laundering laws and regulations. Any violations of anti-money laundering laws or regulations by any of our properties could have an adverse effect on our business.

**Employees and Human Capital**

*Employees* – As of December 31, 2025, we had 2,911 full-time employees and 845 part-time employees. During busier months, our casinos may supplement permanent staff with seasonal employees. We consider our current staffing levels as adequate. Approximately 201 employees at our CPL casinos in Poland, 44 employees at Mountaineer and 211 employees at Rocky Gap belong to trade unions. The trade unions in Poland do not currently have any collective bargaining agreements with CPL, but changes in pay of union employees and certain other actions taken by CPL require approval of the unions. The trade unions at Mountaineer and Rocky Gap have collective bargaining agreements with each casino.

*Human Capital –* Our company is led by two gaming industry professionals with a combined industry experience of more than 75 years. Due to extensive industry experience, the team's diversity of experience gives us the ability to tailor our gaming-based entertainment developments and operations to the unique needs and circumstances of each specific location. We are aware that much of our success is based on our employees' combined talents, skills and ideas. As an international casino entertainment company, we cater to different markets with different customer expectations. In order to meet these expectations, we strive to build a workforce that is as diversified as our customers.

Focusing on employee development and creating a positive work environment is one of our main priorities. We have training and development programs to provide our employees with the opportunity to succeed and thrive at our company. We seek to provide upward and lateral movement to employees at all locations. In Missouri, for example, we have an Upward Mobility Program to provide front-line employees with information on how they can develop their leadership skills and be prepared to step into a leadership role. This program makes training and educational opportunities available to enhance qualification and permit progress into other career fields through mentorships.

As a company, we strive to be community leaders and to add value through our products, services, social responsibility and sharing of our financial and human resources to achieve a positive impact on our employees, their families and our fellow citizens. We have committed to supporting our local communities, including through contributions among several charitable and non-profit organizations. Our management is confident that through working with charitable and non-profit organizations we are able to make a positive difference to the lives of people living in the communities in which we operate. Our initiatives include donation boxes on the casino floors, volunteer events, fundraising drives, event sponsorships and charity events. Unique to Alberta, Canada is the charitable gaming model in which charitable organizations are licensed to conduct and manage casino events at our casinos.

**Item 1A.** **Risk Factors.**

Our short and long-term success is subject to many factors beyond our control. If any of the following risks, or any risks described elsewhere in or incorporated by reference in this report, actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer. Additional risks not presently known to us or which we currently consider immaterial may also adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. The following disclosures reflect our beliefs and opinions as to factors that could materially and adversely affect the Company and its securities in the future. References to past events are provided by way of example only and are not intended to be a complete listing or a representation as to whether or not such factors have occurred in the past or their likelihood of occurring in the future.

**Business Environment and Competition Risks**

***We are particularly sensitive to general economic conditions, market conditions in the jurisdictions in which we operate, downturns or recessions as well as other issues affecting discretionary consumer spending, including geopolitical tensions, pandemics or other public health emergencies, any of which may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.***

Our success depends to a large extent on discretionary consumer spending, which is heavily influenced by general economic conditions and the availability of discretionary income. Adverse macroeconomic conditions, including inflation, economic contraction, economic uncertainty or the perception by our customers of weak or weakening economic conditions may cause a decline in demand for casino resorts and other amenities we offer. Changes in discretionary consumer spending or consumer preferences could be driven by factors such as an unstable job market, perceived or actual disposable consumer income and wealth, increased cost of travel, outbreaks of contagious diseases or fears of war and acts of terrorism or other acts of violence. Difficult economic conditions and recessionary periods may have an adverse impact on our business and our financial condition. Negative economic conditions, coupled with high volatility and uncertainty as to the future economic landscape, have at times had a negative effect on consumers' discretionary income and consumer confidence, and similar impacts can be expected if such conditions recur. A decrease in discretionary spending due to decreases in consumer confidence in the economy or us, or a continued economic slowdown, recession or other deterioration in the economy, could adversely affect the frequency with which customers choose to visit our properties and the amount that our customers spend when they visit. Tariffs imposed by the US on foreign goods or, imposed reciprocally on the US by foreign countries during 2025 have increased costs for consumers. The actual or perceived weakness in the economy could also lead to decreased spending by our customers. Both customer visits and customer spending at our casinos are key drivers of our revenue and profitability, and reductions in either could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The actual or perceived impact of tariffs on consumer spending and inflation or an economic downturn or recession could lead to fewer customer visits and decreased discretionary spending by our customers.

***We face significant competition, and if we are not able to compete successfully, our results of operations will be harmed.***

We face intense competition from other casinos in jurisdictions in which we operate and from casinos in neighboring jurisdictions. Many of our competitors are larger and have substantially greater name recognition and financial and marketing resources than we do. We seek to compete through promotion of our players' clubs and other marketing efforts. For example, for CRA, we emphasize the casino's showroom, complimentary heated parking, players' club program, and superior service. These marketing efforts may not be successful, which could hurt our competitive position.

The markets in which we operate generally rely on a local customer base as well as tourists during peak seasons. The number of casinos in some of our markets may exceed demand, which could make it difficult for us to sustain profitability. We are particularly vulnerable to competition in our markets due to the large number of competitors in those markets. New or expanded operations by other entities in any of the markets in which we operate will increase competition for our gaming operations and could have a material adverse impact on us. For example, a competitor has received conditional approval to relocate its casino from Camrose, Alberta, to south Edmonton, approximately 11 miles from our Century Mile property. We anticipate the casino will open in 2027 once construction is complete and final approvals are received. The Happy Valley Casino in Pennsylvania is expected to open in spring 2026. This casino, which is 112 miles from Rocky Gap, is expected to increase competition for Rocky Gap and could have a negative impact on our results of operations in Maryland. The Reno-Sparks market is very competitive, and we compete with other hotel casinos in the market for conventions and hotel group bookings. If we are unable to successfully attract local customers or group bookings at the Nugget, our results of operations in Nevada could be adversely impacted. We partner with third-party iGaming and sports betting operators at the majority of our properties in the US. Increased competitors offering iGaming or sports betting within the markets we operate, including the availability of other technology platforms such as prediction markets, could adversely impact the results of our operations where our agreements provide for a share of net gaming revenue.

Changes to gaming laws in countries or states in which we have operations and in states near our operations could increase competition and could adversely affect our operations. Any expansion of legalized gaming, such as online sports betting, could

------

adversely impact our properties. In November 2024, Missouri voters passed Amendment 2 legalizing sports betting in Missouri, which became legal on December 1, 2025. We have partnered with BetMGM to operate an online and mobile sports betting application as well as a retail sportsbook under our license in Missouri. However, we cannot predict how these changes will affect us with certainty. In June 2025, Alberta's Bill 48 regulating iGaming in Alberta passed. The bill will create an open market for online sports betting and iGaming with retail sports betting available at casinos and specific sports venues. The regulatory framework is still being finalized, but it is expected that casinos will have the option to select a licensed third-party provider or partner with AGLC to provide sports betting and iGaming products. We plan to offer retail sports betting at our locations in Alberta through either a licensed third-party provider or the AGLC. If we are unable to secure a partnership and are unable to offer retail sports betting and iGaming at our casinos in Canada, our business could be negatively affected.

Capital expenditures, such as those for new gaming equipment, room refurbishments and amenity upgrades may be necessary from time to time to preserve the competitiveness of our properties. If we are unable to make these improvements due to capital constraints or other factors, our facilities may be less attractive to our visitors than those of our competitors, which could have a negative impact on our business.

***We may not be successful in identifying and implementing any potential strategic alternatives in a timely manner or at all, and the perceived uncertainties related to the Company could adversely affect our business and our stockholders, and any strategic transactions that we may consummate in the future could have negative consequences*.**

In August 2025, we initiated a broad strategic review to enhance stockholder value, which includes an exploration of multiple strategic alternatives, including potential mergers, strategic partnerships, or the sale of the Company. We have not yet established a timeline to complete the strategic review, and our Board has not approved a definitive course of action. We can provide no assurance as to the review's outcome, that this strategic review process will result in us pursuing any transaction or that we will be able to successfully consummate any particular strategic transaction on attractive terms, on a timely basis, or at all. Any potential transaction will depend on several factors that may be beyond our control including, for example, market conditions, industry trends, third party consents, such as stockholder approval, which could be difficult or costly to obtain, and the available terms of the transaction. The review process, the negotiation and consummation of a transaction or other strategic alternatives may be costly, time consuming, distracting, and disruptive to our business operations. Moreover, the possibility that exploration of strategic alternatives may ultimately result in a sale, merger, or other strategic transaction, or any perceived uncertainty regarding our future operations or employment needs may limit our ability to retain or hire qualified personnel and may contribute to unplanned loss of highly-skilled employees through attrition, and result in the loss of customers, suppliers, and other key business partners, each of which could have a material adverse effect to our business. We may ultimately determine that no transaction is in the best interest of our stockholders. Speculation regarding developments associated with our review of strategic alternatives, and any perceived uncertainties related to the Company or its business, could significantly increase the volatility of our share price. Additionally, there can be no assurance that any particular course of action, business arrangement or transaction, or series of transactions, will be pursued, successfully consummated or lead to increased stockholder value or that we will make any cash distributions to our stockholders.

***We may not realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions, joint ventures, and divestitures, or these benefits may take longer to realize than expected.***

From time to time, we make strategic acquisitions and divestitures and participate in joint ventures. Acquisitions and joint ventures we have entered into, or may enter into in the future, may involve significant challenges and risks, including that the acquisitions or joint ventures do not advance our business strategy, or fail to produce satisfactory returns on investment. Other risks include:

difficulties integrating acquisitions with our operations, applying internal control processes to these acquisitions, managing strategic investments, assimilating new capabilities to meet the future needs of our businesses, and/or combining business cultures;

regulatory or compliance exposure until appropriate processes and controls are implemented;

integration costs and significant attention from management and personnel;

failing to realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions or joint ventures, or realized benefits being significantly delayed, including because the business or assets acquired may not be complementary or compatible with our business strategy or product portfolio, or may not improve our market position, product portfolio or footprint; and

due diligence evaluations of potential transactions not identifying all of the business, legal, compliance, and financial risks to accurately estimate the impact of a particular acquisition or joint venture, including potential exposure to regulatory sanctions or other licensing issues resulting from an acquisition target's previous activities or costs associated with any quality issues with an acquisition target's products or services.

------

In addition, we periodically review our business to identify properties or other assets that we believe no longer complement our business, are in markets that may not benefit us or could be sold at significant premiums. From time to time, we may attempt to sell these identified properties and assets. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to complete dispositions on profitable, commercially reasonable terms or at all.

**Credit and Liquidity Risks**

***Our obligations under our indebtedness and our Master Lease are significant. We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness and pay rent under the Master Lease and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness and Master Lease, which may not be successful.***

We have a significant amount of indebtedness. As of December 31, 2025, our outstanding debt was approximately $337.7 million. The majority of our long-term debt outstanding as of December 31, 2025 is variable rate debt. Each one percentage point change associated with the variable rate debt would result in an estimated $3.4 million change to our annual cash interest expenses. In addition, we lease the real estate assets of the majority of our North American casinos under a Master Lease with VICI PropCo. The long-term financing obligation to VICI PropCo subsidiaries was $715.7 million as of December 31, 2025. Our scheduled 2026 rent payments under the Master Lease, including a Consumer Price Index ("CPI") increase, are approximately $67.3 million. Our rent payments are subject to annual escalation. See Notes 5 and 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this report for more information on our long-term debt and Master Lease.

The significance of the above financial obligations could:

limit our ability to satisfy our other obligations;

limit our ability to obtain additional indebtedness or financing to fund working capital requirements, capital expenditures, debt service, acquisitions, general corporate or other obligations;

limit our ability to use operating cash flow in other areas of our business because we must dedicate a significant portion of these funds to make principal and/or interest payments on our outstanding debt;

expose us to interest rate risk due to the variable interest rate on borrowings under our credit agreements;

place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to competitors that have less debt;

subject us to restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to pay dividends and distributions, make acquisitions and dispositions, borrow additional funds, and make capital expenditures and other investments;

cause our failure to comply with financial and restrictive covenants contained in our current or future indebtedness, which could cause a default under such indebtedness and which, if not cured or waived, could have a material adverse effect on us;

increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry changes;

limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our businesses, changing market conditions, changes in our industry and economic downturns; and

affect our ability to renew gaming and other licenses necessary to conduct our business.

We generally would still be required to make rent payments under the Master Lease and scheduled debt payments if closures of our properties, similar to those that occurred in 2020, occur in the future. In addition, the Master Lease requires us to make specific minimum investments in capital expenditures and, subject to certain caps, the rent escalations under the Master Lease will continue to apply regardless of the cash flows generated by the properties subject to the Master Lease and the obligations guaranteed by us. Further, if our properties subject to the Master Lease are impacted by a casualty event, the Master Lease requires us to repair or restore the affected properties even if the cost of such repair or restoration exceeds the insurance proceeds that we receive. Under such circumstances, the rent under the Master Lease is required to be paid during the period of repair or restoration even if all or a portion of the affected property is not operating. We cannot assure that we will maintain a level of cash flows from operating activities sufficient to permit us to pay rent under the Master Lease and the principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness.

If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service and rent obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures, or to sell assets, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness. These alternative measures may not be successful and may not permit us to meet our scheduled debt service or rent obligations. If we are not able to meet our scheduled obligations, we could face substantial liquidity problems and might be required to dispose of material assets or operations to meet our debt service and other obligations. We may not be able to consummate those dispositions or to obtain the proceeds that we could realize from them, and these proceeds may not be adequate to meet any debt service obligations then due. Additionally, the agreements governing our existing debt restrict sale of assets and limit the use of the proceeds from any disposition and our Master Lease limits our ability to dispose of leased properties; as a result, we may not be allowed,

------

under these documents, to dispose of certain of our properties and use proceeds from such dispositions to satisfy all current debt service obligations.

***We may be unable to obtain the capital necessary to fund our operations or expand our business.***

Our industry is capital intensive, and we rely heavily on the ability of our casinos to generate operating cash flow to repay debt financing, fund maintenance capital expenditures and provide excess cash for future development. While we believe we have an adequate amount of cash on hand for our current plans, we may not be able to obtain funding when we need it on favorable terms or at all. If we are unable to finance our current operations or future expansion projects, we will have to adopt one or more alternatives, such as reducing or delaying planned expansion, development and renovation projects and capital expenditures, selling assets, restructuring debt, obtaining additional debt financing or refinancing, equity financing or joint venture partners, or modifying our bank credit facilities. The amount of capital that we are able to raise often depends on variables that are beyond our control, such as the share price of our stock and its trading volume. The availability of financing may be impacted by local, regional and global economic, credit and stock market conditions, all of which have been volatile. As a result, we may not be able to secure financing on terms attractive to us, in a timely manner or at all. If we are able to consummate a financing or refinancing arrangement, the amount raised may not be sufficient to meet all of our future needs and, if it involves equity, may be highly dilutive to our stockholders. If we cannot raise adequate funds to satisfy our capital requirements, we may have to reduce, dispose of or eliminate certain operations.

***A majority of our casinos are located on leased property. If we default on one or more leases or if we are unable to secure renewals of those leases, the applicable lessors could terminate the affected leases and we could lose possession of the affected leased property.***

We lease the real estate assets for our casinos in Missouri, West Virginia, Maryland and Canada under a "triple-net" Master Lease. Accordingly, in addition to rent, we are required to pay, among other things, the following: (1) facility maintenance costs; (2) all insurance premiums for insurance with respect to the leased properties and the business conducted on the leased properties; (3) taxes levied on or with respect to the leased properties (other than taxes on the income of the lessor); and (4) all utilities and other services necessary or appropriate for the leased properties and the business conducted on the leased properties. We are responsible for incurring these costs even though many of the benefits received in exchange for such costs accrue to the lessor as the owner of the associated facilities. In addition, we remain obligated for lease payments and other obligations under the Master Lease even if one or more of such leased facilities is not operating or is unprofitable or if we decide to withdraw from those locations. We could incur special charges relating to the closing of such facilities, including lease termination costs, impairment charges and other charges that would reduce our net earnings and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our casinos in Poland are located within leased building spaces. If we were to default on any one or more of the leases or if we are unable to secure renewal terms for these locations, the lessors could terminate the affected leases and we could lose possession of any improvements on the buildings. This could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations as we would then be unable to operate the affected facilities.

***We may not be fully compensated to relocate the Nugget Casino and may be required to seek additional funding if the Nevada Department of Transportation ("NDOT") project moves forward.***

A majority of the casino floor at the Nugget is located beneath Interstate 80 ("I-80") in Sparks, Nevada. NDOT has discussed the possibility of expanding I-80, which would require us to rebuild the Nugget on existing land owned by Smooth Bourbon and leased to the Nugget. We anticipate that NDOT would compensate us to move the casino to a new location; however, the value that is determined by NDOT for purposes of compensating us may not cover the full construction costs. If we are unable to get fully compensated for building a new casino, or if the timing of compensation payments does not match our timing for construction, we may be required to use cash on hand or seek financing, which may not be available on favorable terms or at all.

**Operational Risks**

***Our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by climate change, the occurrence of severe weather, natural or man-made disasters and other catastrophic events, including war, terrorism and other acts of violence, and outbreaks of disease.***

The operations of our facilities are subject to disruptions or reductions in the number of customers who visit our properties because of severe weather conditions. If weather conditions limit access to our casino properties or otherwise adversely impact our ability to operate our casinos at full capacity, our revenue will suffer, which will negatively impact our operating results. Extreme weather conditions, potentially exacerbated by climate change, may cause property damage or interrupt business, which could harm our

------

business and results of operations. High winds, flooding, blizzards and sub-zero temperatures, such as those experienced by our North American operations from time to time, can limit access to our properties. Extreme weather conditions may also interrupt the operations of critical suppliers, and may result in reduced availability or increased price volatility of certain critical supplies.

Events such as terrorist and war activities in the countries in which we are located and other acts of violence, such as the 2017 mass shooting that occurred at a Las Vegas casino, could have a negative impact on travel and leisure expenditures, including gaming, lodging and tourism, especially if these events occur in a region in which we operate. The Russia-Ukraine war could have an adverse impact on our results of operations in Poland, which borders Ukraine, and the collateral global impacts of that situation could adversely impact our results of operations at all of our properties. We cannot predict the extent to which terrorism, security alerts or war, or other acts of violence in the countries that we operate will directly or indirectly affect our business and operating results, but the impact could be material.

An outbreak of a contagious disease, such as the COVID-19 pandemic or any similar illness, could have a negative impact on travel and leisure expenditures, including gaming, lodging and tourism, especially if an outbreak were to occur in or near the areas in which we operate. Negative impacts on the economy, travel restrictions and other restrictions by local or federal governments in the areas in which we operate could result in consumers reducing travel and leisure expenditures, including visits to our casinos. The extent of the effects of the disease outbreaks on our business and the casino industry at large could be material, but is highly uncertain and would ultimately depend on future developments, including, but not limited to, the virulence and severity of any outbreak, the availability and effectiveness of vaccines, and the length of time it takes for normal economic and operating conditions to resume, if at all. We could experience a longer-term impact on our costs, such as, for example, the need for enhanced health and hygiene requirements in one or more regions in attempts to counteract future outbreaks. Further, outbreaks of disease may also affect our operating and financial results in ways that are not presently known to us or that we currently do not consider present significant risks to our operations. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

***Our reputation and business may be harmed by interruptions or cybersecurity breaches of our information systems, and we may be subject to legal claims if there is loss, disclosure or misappropriation of or access to our customers', our business partners' or our own information or other breaches of our information security.***

We make use of online services and centralized data processing, including through third-party service providers. Issues with performance by these third parties may disrupt our operations, and as a result our operating expenses could increase, which could negatively affect our results of operations. Moreover, the secure maintenance and transmission of customer information, including credit card numbers and other personally identifiable information for marketing and promotional purposes, is a critical element of our operations. Our collection and use of personal data are governed by state and federal privacy laws as well as the applicable laws of the countries in which we operate. Various federal, state and foreign legislative or regulatory bodies may enact or adopt new or additional laws and regulations concerning privacy, data retention, data transfer, and data protection. Compliance with applicable privacy regulations may increase our operating costs or adversely impact our ability to market our products, properties and services to our guests.

Our information technology systems, and those of our third-party service providers, that maintain and transmit customer information, or those of service providers, or our employee or business information may be compromised by a malicious third party penetration of our network security, or that of a third party service provider or business partner, or by actions or inactions by our employees. As a result, information of our customers, third party service providers or business partners or our employee or business information may be lost, disclosed, accessed or taken without their or our consent. Cybersecurity attacks have become increasingly common, and we have experienced immaterial business disruption, monetary loss and data loss as a result of phishing, business email compromise and other types of attacks on our or our third-party service provider's systems. In addition, the rapid evolution and increased adoption of new technologies, such as AI, may intensify our cybersecurity risks. Any disruption or failure of these systems or services could cause substantial errors, data loss, processing inefficiencies, security breaches, inability to use the systems or process transactions, loss of customers or other business disruptions, any of which could negatively affect our business and results of operations, subject us to penalties or result in reputational harm. Additionally, non-compliance with applicable privacy regulations by us (or in some circumstances non-compliance by third parties engaged by us) or a breach of security on systems storing our data may result in a loss of customers and subject us to fines, payment of damages, lawsuits or restrictions on our use or transfer of data.

***Our insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover all possible losses that our properties could suffer, our insurance costs may increase, and we may not be able to obtain the same insurance coverage in the future.***

We may suffer damage to our property caused by a casualty loss (such as fire, natural disasters, acts of war, terrorism or other acts of violence) that could severely disrupt our business or subject us to claims by third parties who are injured or harmed. Although we maintain insurance customary in our industry, including property, casualty, terrorism, cybersecurity and business interruption

------

insurance, that insurance is subject to deductibles and limits on maximum benefits, including limitations on the coverage period for business interruption. Due to these variables, we may not be able to fully insure such losses, or fully collect, if at all, on casualty loss claims. The lack of sufficient insurance for these types of acts could expose us to heavy losses if any damages occur, directly or indirectly, that could have a significant adverse impact on our operations.

We renew our insurance policies on an annual basis. In recent years, the cost of maintaining this coverage has increased. The cost of coverage may become so high that we may need to further reduce our policy limits, agree to certain exclusions from our coverage, or self-insure. Among other factors, regional political tensions, homeland security concerns, other catastrophic events or any change in government legislation governing insurance coverage for acts of terrorism could materially adversely affect available insurance coverage and result in increased premiums on available coverage (which may cause us to elect to reduce our policy limits), additional exclusions from coverage or higher deductibles. Among other potential future adverse changes, in the future we may elect to not, or may not be able to, obtain any coverage for losses due to acts of terrorism.

***We may use artificial intelligence ("AI") in our business, and challenges with properly managing its use could result in reputational harm, competitive harm, and legal liability, and adversely affect our results of operations.***

We may incorporate AI solutions into our business, offerings, services and features, and these applications may become important in our operations over time. Our competitors or other third parties may incorporate AI into their products more quickly or more successfully than us, which could impair our ability to compete effectively and adversely affect our results of operations. Additionally, if the content, analyses, or recommendations that AI applications assist in producing are or are alleged to be deficient, inaccurate, or biased, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be adversely affected. The use of AI applications may result in cybersecurity incidents that implicate the personal data of end users of such applications. Any such cybersecurity incidents related to our use of AI applications could adversely affect our reputation and results of operations. AI also presents emerging ethical issues and if our use of AI becomes controversial, we may experience brand or reputational harm, competitive harm, or legal liability. The rapid evolution of AI, including potential future regulation of AI, may also result in additional costs associated with compliance with emerging regulations. The rapid evolution of AI, including potential government regulation of AI, may require significant resources to develop, test and maintain our business, offerings, services, and features to help us implement AI ethically in order to minimize unintended, harmful impact.

***We are subject to risks related to corporate social responsibility and sustainability matters and our business reputation, which may negatively affect our business and operations.***

Many factors influence our reputation and the value of our brand, including the perceptions held by our customers, business partners, other key stakeholders and the communities in which we do business. Regulatory developments and stakeholder expectations relating to corporate social responsibility and sustainability matters are rapidly evolving, and our business faces increasing scrutiny related to our corporate social responsibility and sustainability practices, disclosures and goals. Stakeholder expectations are not uniform, and both opponents and proponents of various corporate social responsibility and sustainability-related matters have increasingly resulted in activism and action to advocate for their positions. Navigating varying expectations of policymakers and other stakeholders has inherent costs, and any failure to successfully navigate such expectations may expose us to negative publicity, shareholder activism, and litigation or other engagement from stakeholders with opposing views, as well as the potential for civil investigations and enforcement by federal governmental authorities. If we are unable to recognize and respond to such developments, or if our existing practices and procedures are not adequate to meet changing regulatory requirements, market standards or investor expectations, some of which may be conflicting, we may miss corporate opportunities, become subject to regulatory scrutiny, litigation or third-party claims, or incur costs to revise operations to meet new or revised standards. Moreover, any harm to our reputation could impact employee engagement and retention and the willingness of customers and our partners to do business with us, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and cash flows.

***Difficulties in managing our worldwide operations may have an adverse impact on our business.***

We derive our revenue from operations located on two continents. Our management is located in North America and Europe, and our worldwide operations pose risks to our business. Risks associated with international operations include:

fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;

changes in laws and policies that govern our foreign operations;

possible failure to comply with anti-bribery laws such as the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA") and similar anti-bribery laws in other jurisdictions;

difficulty in establishing and managing non-United States operations due to culture, management and language differences;

different labor regulations;

changes in environmental, health and safety laws;

potentially negative consequences from changes in or interpretations of tax laws;

political instability and actual or anticipated military or political conflicts;

economic instability and inflation, recession or interest rate fluctuations;

uncertainties regarding judicial systems and procedures; and

different time zones.

These factors make it more challenging to manage and administer a globally-dispersed business and, as a result, we must devote greater resources to operating under several regulatory and legislative regimes. See "Governmental Regulation and Licensing" in Item 1, "Business" of this report and Exhibit 99.1 to this report, which is incorporated herein by reference. This business model also increases our costs.

***We are dependent upon technology services and electrical power to operate our business, and if we experience damage or service interruptions, we may have to cease some or all of our operations, resulting in a decrease in revenue.***

Our gaming operations rely heavily on technology services and an uninterrupted supply of electrical power. Our security systems and all of our gaming devices are controlled by computers and reliant on electrical power to operate. A loss of electrical power or a failure of the technology services needed to run the computers would make us unable to run all or parts of our gaming operations. Any unscheduled interruption in our technology services or interruption in the supply of electrical power is likely to result in an immediate, and possibly substantial, loss of revenue due to a shutdown of our gaming operations. Although we have designed our systems around industry-standard architectures to reduce downtime in the event of outages or catastrophic occurrences, they remain vulnerable to damage or interruption from floods, fires, power loss, telecommunication failures, terrorist attacks, computer viruses, computer denial-of-service attacks and similar events. Additionally, substantial increases in the cost of electricity and natural gas could negatively affect our results of operations.

***We face the risk of fraud, theft, and cheating.***

We face the risk that gaming customers may attempt or commit fraud or theft or cheat in order to increase winnings. Such acts of fraud, theft or cheating could involve the use of counterfeit chips, AI-powered glasses and other advanced cheating devices or other tactics, possibly in collusion with our employees. Internal acts of cheating could also be conducted by employees through collusion with dealers, surveillance staff, floor managers, or other casino or gaming area staff. Additionally, we also face the risk that customers may attempt or commit fraud or theft with respect to our non-gaming offerings or against other customers. Such risks include stolen credit or charge cards or cash, falsified checks, theft of retail inventory and purchased goods, and unpaid or counterfeit receipts. Failure to discover such acts or schemes in a timely manner could result in losses in our operations. Negative publicity related to such acts or schemes could have an adverse effect on our reputation, potentially causing a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

**Legal, Regulatory and Compliance Risks**

***We face extensive regulation from gaming and other regulatory authorities, which involve considerable expense and could adversely impact our business, and potential changes in the regulatory environment also may adversely impact us.***

As owners and operators of gaming facilities, we are subject to extensive state, local, and international provincial regulation. State, local and provincial authorities require us and our subsidiaries to demonstrate suitability to obtain and retain various licenses and require that we have registrations, permits and approvals to conduct gaming operations. Various regulatory authorities may, for any reason set forth in applicable legislation, rules and regulations, limit, condition, suspend or revoke a license or registration to conduct gaming operations or prevent us from owning the securities of our gaming subsidiaries. Like all gaming operators in the jurisdictions in which we operate or plan to operate, we must periodically apply to renew our gaming licenses or registrations and in North

------

America we must have the suitability of certain of our directors, officers and employees approved. We are scheduled for renewal for our casino licenses at Mountaineer and Cape Girardeau in 2026. In Poland, casino gaming licenses are granted for a term of six years and are not renewable. Before a gaming license expires for a particular city, there is a public notification of the available license and any gaming company can apply for a new license for that city, and we have not always been successful in securing new licenses for our existing casinos. A detailed description of the regulations to which we are subject, including the timing of license renewals for our properties, is contained in Exhibit 99.1 to this report, which is incorporated herein by reference. Failure to obtain license renewals would have an adverse effect on us.

In addition to gaming regulations, we are also subject to various federal, state, provincial, local and foreign laws and regulations affecting businesses in general. These laws and regulations include, but are not limited to, restrictions and conditions concerning alcoholic beverages, environmental matters, smoking, employees, currency transactions, taxation, zoning and building codes, and marketing and advertising. Rules and regulations regarding the service of alcoholic beverages are strict. The loss or suspension of a liquor license could significantly impair our operations.

We also deal with significant amounts of cash in our operations and are subject to various reporting and anti-money laundering regulations. Any violations of anti-money laundering laws or regulations by any of our properties could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Regulations adopted by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network require us to report currency transactions at our US locations in excess of $10,000 occurring within a gaming day, including identification of the patron by name and social security number. US Treasury Department regulations also require us to report certain suspicious activity, including any transaction that exceeds $5,000, if we know, suspect or have reason to believe that the transaction involves funds from illegal activity or is designed to evade federal regulations or reporting requirements. Substantial penalties can be imposed if we fail to comply with these regulations. Such laws and regulations could change or could be interpreted differently in the future, or new laws and regulations could be enacted.

From time to time, legislators and special interest groups have proposed legislation that would expand, restrict or prevent gaming operations or that may otherwise adversely impact our operations in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Any new gaming laws or regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate could have an adverse impact on our financial position and results of operations. Any expansion of the gaming industry that results in increased competition and any restriction on or prohibition of our gaming operations could have a material adverse effect on our operating results or cause us to record an impairment of our assets.

***The enactment of legislation implementing changes in the US taxation of international business activities or the adoption of other tax reform laws or policies could materially affect our financial position and results of operations.***

We are subject to taxation at the federal, state, provincial and local levels in the US and various other countries and jurisdictions. Our future effective tax rate could be affected by changes in the composition of earnings in jurisdictions with differing tax rates, changes in statutory rates and other legislative changes, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, or changes in determinations regarding the jurisdictions in which we are subject to tax. From time to time, the US federal, state and local and foreign governments make substantive changes to tax rules and their application, which could result in materially higher corporate taxes than would be incurred under existing tax law and could adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.

***We face extensive taxation from gaming and regulatory authorities. Potential changes to the tax laws in the jurisdictions in which we operate may adversely affect the results of our operations.***

We believe that the prospect of significant revenue to a jurisdiction through taxation and fees is one of the primary reasons jurisdictions permit legalized gaming. As a result, gaming companies are typically subject to significant taxes and fees in addition to normal federal, state, provincial and local income taxes, and such taxes and fees are subject to increase at any time. We pay substantial taxes and fees with respect to our operations. A detailed description of the gaming taxes and fees to which we are subject is contained in Exhibit 99.1 to this report, which is incorporated herein by reference. In addition, negative economic conditions could intensify the efforts of federal, state, provincial and local governments to raise revenue through increases in gaming taxes or introduction of additional gaming opportunities, which could adversely affect our results of operations and cash flows.

***Our effective tax rate or cash tax payment requirements may change in the future, which could adversely impact our future results of operations.***

A number of factors may adversely impact our future effective tax rate or cash tax payment requirements, which may impact our future results and cash flows from operations. See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this report. These factors include, but are not limited to: changes to income tax rates, tax laws or the interpretation of such tax laws (including additional proposals for fundamental international tax reform globally); the jurisdictions in which our profits are determined to be earned and taxed; changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities; adjustments to estimated taxes upon finalization of various tax returns; adjustments to our interpretation of

------

transfer pricing standards; treatment or characterization of intercompany transactions; changes in available tax credits, grants and other incentives; changes in stock-based compensation expense; changes in US generally accepted accounting principles; and expiration or the inability to renew tax rulings or tax holiday incentives.

Additionally, evaluating the need for, and amount of, a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets often requires significant judgment and extensive analysis of all the positive and negative evidence available to determine whether all or some portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. Because management believes it is more likely than not that the benefit from certain deferred tax assets will not be realized, valuation allowances of $70.4 million in the US and $11.5 million in foreign jurisdictions have been provided in recognition of these risks. If our assumptions change and it is determined that we will be able to realize tax benefits related to these deferred tax assets, we will realize a reduction in income tax expense in the year such valuation allowances are reversed.

***We depend on agreements with our horsepersons and pari-mutuel clerks. Failure to renew or modify agreements on satisfactory terms could materially adversely affect us.***

In the US, the Federal Interstate Horseracing Act of 1978, as amended ("FIHA"), and state law in West Virginia require that, in order to simulcast races, we have certain agreements with the horse owners and trainers at our racetrack. In addition, West Virginia requires applicants seeking to renew their gaming license to demonstrate they have an agreement regarding the proceeds of the gaming machines with a representative of a majority of (i) the horse owners and trainers, (ii) the pari-mutuel clerks, and (iii) the horse breeders. If we fail to present evidence of an agreement with horsemen at a track, we may not be permitted to conduct live racing and to export and import simulcasting at that track and through off-track wagering, and our video lottery license may not be renewed. In addition, our annual simulcast export agreements are subject to horsemen's approval under FIHA. Simulcast import and export agreements require horsemen approval per West Virginia law.

In Canada, the Pari-Mutuel Betting Supervision Regulations require that in order to conduct pari-mutuel betting we have certain agreements with approved horsepersons addressing the sharing of revenue. If we fail to present evidence of an agreement with approved horsepersons, we may not be permitted to conduct live racing, export simulcasting and teletheatre wagering. If we are unable to conduct live racing, our license to operate a REC may not be renewed.

Failure to renew or modify existing agreements on satisfactory terms could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

***Any violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or any other similar anti-corruption laws could have a negative impact on us.*** 

A portion of our revenue is derived from operations outside the United States, which exposes us to complex foreign and US regulations inherent in doing cross-border business and in each of the countries in which we transact business. We are subject to compliance with the US FCPA and other similar anti-corruption laws, which generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to foreign government officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. While our employees and agents are required to comply with these laws, we cannot be sure that our internal policies and procedures will always protect us from violations of these laws, despite our commitment to legal compliance and corporate ethics. Violations of these laws may result in severe criminal and civil sanctions as well as other penalties, and the SEC and US Department of Justice have increased their enforcement activities with respect to the FCPA. The occurrence or allegation of these types of risks may adversely affect our business, performance, prospects, value, financial condition, and results of operations.

***Any failure to protect our trademarks could have a negative impact on the value of our brand names and adversely affect our business.***

The development of intellectual property is part of our overall business strategy. Although our business as a whole is not dependent on our trademarks or other intellectual property, we seek to establish and maintain our proprietary rights in our business operation through the use of trademarks. We file applications for, and obtain trademarks in, the United States and in foreign countries where we believe filing for such protection is appropriate. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, parties may infringe our trademarks and our rights may be invalidated or unenforceable. The laws of some foreign countries do not protect proprietary rights to as great an extent as the laws of the United States. Monitoring the unauthorized use of our intellectual property is difficult. Litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Litigation of this type could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources. We cannot assure you that all of the steps we have taken to protect our trademarks in the United States and foreign countries will be adequate to prevent imitation of our trademarks by others. The unauthorized use or reproduction of our trademarks could diminish the value of our brand and its market acceptance, competitive advantages or goodwill, which could adversely affect our business.

------

**Human Capital Risks**

***The loss of key personnel could have a material adverse effect on us.***

We are highly dependent on the services of Erwin Haitzmann and Peter Hoetzinger, our founders and Co-Chief Executive Officers, and other members of our senior management team. The agreements through which we retain Erwin Haitzmann and Peter Hoetzinger provide that, under some circumstances, the departure of one executive could allow the other to leave for cause. Our ability to retain key personnel is affected by the competitiveness of our compensation packages and the other terms and conditions of employment, our continued ability to compete effectively against other gaming companies and our growth prospects. The loss of the services of any of these individuals could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***Our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be harmed by staff shortages, work stoppages and other labor issues.***

Our ability to attract and retain employees has caused and may in the future cause us to reduce casino operating hours or close certain amenities at our properties which could negatively impact guest loyalty and operating results. We have adjusted, and if required we plan to continue to adjust, operating hours for food and beverage outlets, and hotel and convention spaces where we are impacted by staffing challenges. We have employees in Poland who belong to trade unions that have the right to approve changes in pay for union employees at CPL. In the United States, there are employees at our West Virginia and Maryland casinos who belong to unions and have collective bargaining agreements with the casinos. A lengthy strike or other work stoppage at our casino properties with unions could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Our other employees in the US and Canada are not covered by collective bargaining agreements. From time to time, we have experienced attempts to unionize certain of our non-union employees. If a union seeks to organize any of our employees, we could experience disruption in our business and incur significant costs, both of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. If a union were successful in organizing any of our employees, we could experience significant increases in our labor costs which could also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, changes to labor laws or prevailing market conditions could lead to increased labor costs that could have an adverse impact on our profitability.

**Common Stock and Stockholder Risks**

***Certain anti-takeover measures we have adopted may limit our ability to consummate transactions that some of our security holders might otherwise support.*** 

We have a fair price business combination provision in our certificate of incorporation, which requires approval of certain business combinations and other transactions by holders of 80% of our outstanding shares of voting stock. In addition, our certificate of incorporation allows our Board to issue shares of preferred stock without stockholder approval. These provisions generally have the effect of requiring that any party seeking to acquire us negotiate with our Board in order to structure a business combination with us. This may have the effect of depressing the price of our common stock due to the possibility that certain transactions that our stockholders might favor could be precluded by these provisions.

***Stockholders may be required to dispose of their shares of our common stock*** ***if they are found unsuitable by gaming authorities.***

Gaming authorities in the US and Canada generally can require that any beneficial owner of our common stock and other securities file an application for a finding of suitability. If a gaming authority requires a record or beneficial owner of our securities to file a suitability application, the owner must apply for a finding of suitability within 30 days or at an earlier time prescribed by the gaming authority. The gaming authority has the power to investigate an owner's suitability, and the owner must pay all costs of the investigation. If the owner is found unsuitable, then the owner may be required by law to dispose of our securities. Our certificate of incorporation also provides us with the right to repurchase shares of our common stock from certain beneficial owners declared by gaming regulators to be unsuitable holders of our equity securities, and the price we pay to any such beneficial owner may be below the price such beneficial owner would otherwise accept for his or her shares of our common stock.

**General Risk Factors**

***We are or may become involved in legal proceedings that, if adversely adjudicated or settled, could impact our financial condition.***

From time to time, we are defendants in various lawsuits and gaming regulatory proceedings relating to matters incidental to our business. As with all litigation, no assurance can be provided as to the outcome of these matters and, in general, litigation can be expensive and time consuming. We may not be successful in the defense or prosecution of our current or future legal proceedings,

------

which could result in settlements or damages that could significantly impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***We have recorded and may be required in the future to record impairment losses related to*** ***assets we currently carry on our balance sheet.***

Accounting rules require that we make certain estimates and assumptions related to our determinations as to the future recoverability of a significant portion of our assets. If we were to determine that the values of these assets carried on our balance sheet are impaired due to adverse changes in our business or otherwise, we may be required to record an impairment charge to write down the value of these assets, which would adversely affect our results during the period in which we recorded the impairment charge. In the fourth quarter of 2024, we impaired $70.2 million related to goodwill at the Nugget and Rocky Gap. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this report for more information on our goodwill and other intangible assets.

***Fluctuations in currency exchange rates and currency controls in foreign countries could adversely affect our business.***

The revenue generated and expenses incurred at our casinos in Canada and Poland are generally denominated in Canadian dollars and Polish zloty, respectively. Decreases in the value of these currencies in relation to the value of the US dollar have decreased the operating profit from our foreign operations when translated into US dollars, which has adversely affected our consolidated results of operations, and such decreases may occur in the future. In addition, we may expand our operations into other countries and, accordingly, we could face similar exchange rate risk with respect to the costs of doing business in such countries as a result of any increases in the value of the US dollar in relation to the currencies of such countries. We do not currently hedge our exposure to fluctuations of these foreign currencies, and there is no guarantee that we will be able to successfully hedge any future foreign currency exposure.

**Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.**

None.

**Item 1C. Cybersecurity.**

Cybersecurity is an important part of our risk management program and an area of increasing focus for our Board and management. We maintain a robust cybersecurity infrastructure to safeguard our operations, networks, and data through comprehensive security measures including our technology tools, internal management, and external service providers.

Our Chief Information Officer ("CIO") is responsible for assessing, identifying, and managing the risks from cybersecurity threats. Our CIO has over 16 years of experience in information technology and security positions. The CIO leads a team which includes our Corporate Director of IT Infrastructure with 12 years of information technology and cybersecurity related experience, who holds a Certified Information Systems Security Professional ("CISSP") certification.

Our Board, primarily through the Audit Committee, oversees management's approach to managing cybersecurity risks. The Audit Committee, comprised solely of independent directors, is charged with overseeing the Company's risk management, including information technology and cybersecurity. The Audit Committee routinely engages with relevant management on a range of cybersecurity-related topics, including the threat of environment and vulnerability assessments, policies and practices, technology trends, and regulatory developments from the CIO.

We use a risk-based approach to identify, assess, protect, detect, respond to, and recover from cybersecurity threats, utilizing industry standard frameworks such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework, internal controls, and robust technological toolsets. Our information security program includes, among other aspects, penetration and vulnerability assessments and management, intrusion detection systems, antivirus and malware protection, encryption, access control, high availability and redundancy, and employee training. Risks identified by the CIO and other cybersecurity personnel are analyzed to determine the potential impact on us and the likelihood of occurrence. Such risks are continuously monitored to ensure that the circumstances and severity of such risks have not changed. The CIO also routinely discusses trends in cyber risks and our strategy with our Audit Committee and management on a regular basis, in addition to an annual review and discussion with the full Board.

In addition, we engage independent third-party cybersecurity providers for vulnerability assessments and penetration testing. We regularly engage these providers to aid in the identification and remediation of potential threats. We also endeavor to apprise employees of emerging risks and require them to undergo annual security awareness training, and supplemental training as needed. Additionally, we conduct periodic internal exercises to gauge the effectiveness of the training and assess the need for additional

------

controls and/or training. Our teams evaluate the risk profile of third-party service providers, considering key risk factors such as cybersecurity measures, data privacy policies, and regulatory compliance. We maintain communication channels with key third-party service providers to assess and respond to potential impacts of incidents within a service provider's organization. We rely on our third parties to communicate such incidents to us in a timely manner. Beyond cybersecurity assessments, our teams conduct a structured due diligence process as part of our vendor compliance program for third-party providers that meet specific criteria set by us. We use third-party risk management services to evaluate additional risk factors, including but not limited to past or pending litigation, criminal history, derogatory information, and financial stability.

Material cybersecurity incidents are required to be reported to the Board. As of the date of this report, we are not aware of any incidents from cybersecurity threats that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition.

Mountaineer, Cape Girardeau, Caruthersville, Rocky Gap and our Canadian subsidiaries are currently subject to the Master Lease.

The Master Lease has been amended since 2019 as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•On December 1, 2022, an amendment provided for (i) modifications with respect to certain project work to be done by the Company related to Century Casino Caruthersville, (ii) modifications to rent under the Master Lease to provide for an increase in initial annualized rent by approximately $4.2 million, the cash payments for which can be deferred for a period of 12 months after the completion of the project and (iii) other related modifications. We elected to defer the cash payments related to the increase in initial annualized rent for 12 months, and the deferred rent is being paid over a six month period that began in December 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•On July 25, 2023, an amendment (i) added Rocky Gap to the Master Lease, (ii) increased initial annualized rent by approximately $15.5 million and (iii) extended the initial Master Lease term for 15 years from the date of the amendment (subject to the four existing five-year renewal options).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•On September 6, 2023, an amendment (i) added the Century Canadian Portfolio to the Master Lease, (ii) increased initial annualized rent by approximately CAD 17.3 million ($12.6 million based on the exchange rate on December 31, 2025) and (iii) extended the initial Master Lease term for 15 years from the date of the amendment (subject to the four existing five year renewal options). In addition, the portion of the Master Lease attributable to the Century Canadian Portfolio has a maximum 2.5% annual escalator increase.

The Master Lease provides for the lease of land, buildings, structures and other improvements on the land, easements and similar appurtenances to the land and improvements relating to the operations of the leased properties. The scheduled 2026 rent payments under the Master Lease, including a CPI increase, are approximately $67.3 million. The rent payments are subject to annual escalations during the lease term. The Master Lease has an initial term of 15 years with no purchase option. In the December 2022 amendment of the Master Lease, we exercised our first five year renewal term. At our option, the Master Lease may be extended for up to three additional five year renewal terms beyond the 20 year term. The renewal terms are effective as to all, but not less than all, of the properties then subject to the Master Lease. We do not have the ability to terminate our obligations under the Master Lease prior to its expiration without the lessor's consent.

------

The Master Lease has a triple-net structure, which requires us to pay substantially all costs associated with the properties, including real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, maintenance and operational costs. The Master Lease contains certain covenants, including minimum capital improvement expenditures. Century Casinos, Inc. has provided a guarantee of our subsidiaries' obligations under the Master Lease. We account for the sale-leaseback transactions involving the Master Lease as failed sale-leasebacks, and therefore the Master Lease is accounted for as a financing obligation. For additional information regarding the Master Lease, see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this report.

**Nugget Casino Lease**

The land, buildings, structures and other improvements of the Nugget Casino are leased from Smooth Bourbon (the "Nugget Lease"). We own 50% of Smooth Bourbon and consolidate it as a subsidiary for which we have a controlling interest. As such the finance lease asset, finance lease liability, revenue and expense are eliminated upon consolidation and the 50% of Smooth Bourbon's income attributable to Marnell is recorded as non-controlling interest. We distribute dividends to Marnell for its 50% ownership interest in Smooth Bourbon. The dividends consist of rent from the Nugget Lease offset by operating costs of Smooth Bourbon and are recorded as dividends to non-controlling partners in our consolidated statement of cash flows. The scheduled 2026 rent payments under the Nugget Lease attributable to Marnell's 50% ownership of Smooth Bourbon are $7.9 million. The rent payments are subject to annual escalations during the lease term. The Nugget Lease has an initial term of 35 years and a purchase option if Century purchases the remaining 50% of Smooth Bourbon. At our option, the Nugget Lease may be extended for up to four additional five year renewal terms. The Nugget Lease has a triple-net structure, which requires us to pay substantially all costs associated with the property, including real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, maintenance and operational costs. The Nugget Lease contains certain covenants, including minimum capital improvement expenditure requirements. Century Casinos, Inc. has provided a guarantee of the Nugget's obligations under the Master Lease.

**Item 3. Legal Proceedings.**

We are not a party to any pending litigation that, in management's opinion, could have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations except as disclosed in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this report.

**Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.** 

Not applicable.

**EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW**

**Overview**

Since our inception in 1992, we have been primarily engaged in developing and operating gaming establishments and related lodging, restaurant and entertainment facilities. Our primary source of revenue is from the net proceeds of our gaming machines and tables, with ancillary revenue generated from hotel, restaurant, horse racing (including off-track betting), sports betting, iGaming and entertainment facilities that are in most instances a part of the casinos.

------

During the fourth quarter of 2025, due to changes in expected long-term future economic characteristics, we determined that the aggregation of operating segments within the United States reportable segment was no longer appropriate. As a result, we reorganized our reportable segments to provide greater specificity within the United States. We aggregate all operating segments into five reportable segments based on the geographical locations in which our casinos operate: US East, US Midwest, US West, Canada and Poland. We view each casino or other operation within those markets as a reporting unit. The reporting units, except for Century Downs Racetrack and Casino and Casinos Poland, are owned, operated and managed through wholly-owned subsidiaries. Our ownership and operation of Century Downs Racetrack and Casino and Casinos Poland are discussed below. The table below provides information about the aggregation of our operating segments and reporting units into reportable segments as of December 31, 2025.

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)The real estate assets, except The Riverview hotel in Cape Girardeau and The Farmstead hotel in Caruthersville, are owned by VICI PropCo and leased to us under the Master Lease.

We have controlling financial interests through our subsidiary CRM in the following reporting units:

We have a 66.6% ownership interest in CPL and we consolidate CPL as a majority-owned subsidiary for which we have a controlling financial interest. Polish Airports owns the remaining 33.3% in CPL. We account for and report the 33.3% Polish Airports ownership interest as a non-controlling financial interest. CPL has been in operation since 1989 and owns and operates casinos throughout Poland. See Item 2, "Properties", above for a list of casinos operating as of December 31, 2025.

We have a 75% ownership interest in CDR and we consolidate CDR as a majority-owned subsidiary for which we have a controlling financial interest. We account for and report the remaining 25% ownership interest in CDR as a non-controlling financial interest. CDR operates Century Downs Racetrack and Casino, a REC in Balzac, a north metropolitan area of Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

We have additional business activities including certain other corporate and management operations that are not included in our reportable segments that are presented for reconciliation purposes as Corporate and Other.

**Strategic Review Process**

In August 2025, we announced that our Board initiated a comprehensive strategic review of our operations, capital structure and strategic growth options. The review is exploring a range of potential strategic alternatives for our assets and businesses aimed at enhancing shareholder value and supporting long-term growth. These alternatives may include opportunities to unlock value within our existing property portfolio, optimize our capital structure, evaluate potential mergers, strategic partnerships, or the sale of the Company, and to analyze potential divestments of assets or other asset-level transactions. The Board has not set a timetable for the conclusion of this review. At this stage, no commitments or decisions have been made and there can be no assurance that the review will result in any transaction or particular change to our business. We do not intend to make further public comments on the process unless and until we determine that further disclosure is appropriate or necessary.

**Recent Developments Related to Economic Uncertainty** 

Current macroeconomic conditions remain very dynamic, including volatile changes in stock markets, foreign currency exchange rates, political unrest and armed conflicts, inflation, US domestic and other international economic policies, such as tariffs and other factors. Both customer visits and customer spending at our casinos are key drivers of our revenue and profitability, and reductions in either could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The actual or perceived impact of macroeconomic conditions on consumer spending could lead to fewer customer visits and decreased discretionary spending by our customers. Any worsening in economic conditions in the regions in which we operate or globally, or the perception

------

that conditions may worsen, could reduce consumer discretionary spending or increase our costs and erode our net earnings and cash flows.

**Other Projects and Developments**

As detailed further in Item 1, "2025 Business Developments", on December 1, 2025 through a partnership with BetMGM we began operating a sports book at Cape Girardeau and an online and mobile sports betting application under our license in Missouri.

*Additional Gaming Projects*

We periodically explore additional potential gaming projects and acquisition opportunities. Along with the capital needs of potential projects, there are various other risks which, if they materialize, could affect our ability to complete a proposed project or acquisition or could eliminate its feasibility altogether.

**Presentation of Foreign Currency Amounts**

The average exchange rates to the US dollar used to translate balances during each reported period are as follows:

We recognize in our statement of loss, foreign currency transaction gains or losses resulting from the translation of casino operations and other transactions that are denominated in a currency other than US dollars. Our casinos in Canada and Poland represent a significant portion of our business, and the revenue generated and expenses incurred by our casinos in Canada and Poland are generally denominated in Canadian dollars and Polish zloty, respectively. A decrease in the value of these currencies in relation to the value of the US dollar would decrease the earnings from our foreign operations when translated into US dollars. An increase in the value of these currencies in relation to the value of the US dollar would increase the earnings from our foreign operations when translated into US dollars. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this report.

**Comparability Impacts**

Items impacting year-over-year comparability of the results include the following:

*Impairment of Goodwill (US East and US West - 2024) –* We determined that goodwill related to the Nugget and Rocky Gap was impaired during the year ended December 31, 2024. As a result of the impairments, we recorded $70.2 million to impairment – goodwill for the year ended December 31, 2024.

On July 30, 2024, we announced we were replacing the management team at the Nugget. During the annual forecast process that began in mid-fourth quarter 2024, the new management team revised the future operating results assumptions due to revised future performance expectations based on estimated future market conditions and analysis of the property's sustained decrease in performance since its acquisition. As a result, we fully impaired goodwill at the Nugget based on these updated assumptions.

During the annual forecast process that began mid-fourth quarter 2024, the management team at Rocky Gap revised the future operating results assumptions due to delays in the execution of the planned player engagement strategy. As a result, we fully impaired goodwill at Rocky Gap based on these updated assumptions.

*Valuation Allowance (2024)* – Income tax expense was primarily impacted by the recording of a valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets related to our operations within the United States for the year ended December 31, 2024.

*Sports Betting (Colorado - 2024)* – In 2024, we mutually agreed to cancel two of our sports betting agreements in Colorado. The Circa Sports ("Circa") agreement was terminated in May 2024 and the Tipico Group Ltd. ("Tipico") agreement was terminated in July 2024. As part of the Circa termination agreement, we received a payment of $1.1 million that included sports betting revenue owed from January 2024 to May 2024 and a breakage fee of $0.7 million. As part of the Tipico termination agreement, we received a payment of $1.6 million that included sports betting revenue owed from November 2023 to June 2024 and a breakage fee of $1.0 million. The breakage fees were recorded as other revenue on our consolidated statement of loss, resulting in $1.7 million in other revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024.

------

*Sports Betting (Missouri - 2025)* – On December 1, 2025, we opened a retail sportsbook at Cape Girardeau and began offering online sports betting through an agreement with BetMGM. The agreement includes a percentage of net gaming revenue payable to us, with a guaranteed minimum.

*Weather* – Inclement weather impacted revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 for all of our North American properties.

In 2024, net loss attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders was impacted by the valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets related to our United States operations during the second quarter of 2024, and by the impairment of goodwill at the Nugget and Rocky Gap during the fourth quarter of 2024 as detailed above. Interest expense, primarily from the Goldman Credit Agreement and the Master Lease, negatively impacts net loss attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders. For a discussion of these items, see "Non-Operating Income (Expense)" and "Taxes" below in this Item 7.

For details regarding these results, see "Reportable Segments" below.

**Other**

*Pari-Mutuel* 

Pari-mutuel revenue includes live racing, export, advanced deposit wagering and off-track betting. Pari-mutuel expenses relate to pari-mutuel revenue and the operation of our racetracks.

------

*Other*

Other revenue and other expenses include gift shops, entertainment, golf and spa. Other revenue also includes revenue from ATM and credit card commissions.

**Non-GAAP Measures Definitions and Calculations**

*Adjusted EBITDAR*

Adjusted EBITDAR is used outside of our financial statements as a valuation metric. We define Adjusted EBITDAR as net (loss) earnings attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders before interest expense (income), net, including interest expense related to the Master Lease as discussed below, income taxes (benefit), depreciation, amortization, non-controlling interests net earnings (losses) and transactions, pre-opening expenses, termination expenses related to closing a casino, acquisition costs, non-cash stock-based compensation charges, asset impairment costs, loss (gain) on disposition of fixed assets, discontinued operations, (gain) loss on foreign currency transactions, cost recovery income and other, gain on business combination and certain other one-time transactions. 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 (loss) attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders and Adjusted EBITDAR reported for each reportable segment. 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 US generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP").

The Master Lease is accounted for as a financing obligation. As such, a portion of the periodic payment under the Master Lease is recognized as interest expense with the remainder of the payment impacting the financing obligation using the effective interest method.

Adjusted EBITDAR information is a non-GAAP measure that is a valuation metric, should not be used as an operating metric, and is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure to reported US GAAP measures because we believe this measure is widely used by analysts, lenders, financial institutions, and investors as a principal basis for the valuation of gaming companies. Management believes that presenting Adjusted EBITDAR to investors provides them with information used by management for financial and operational decision-making in order to understand the Company's operating performance and evaluate the methodology used by management to evaluate and measure such performance.

Adjusted EBITDAR should not be viewed as a measure of overall operating performance as an indicator of our performance, considered in isolation, or construed as an alternative to operating income or net earnings, the most directly comparable US GAAP measure, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities, as a measure of liquidity, or as an alternative to any other measure determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles because this measure is not presented on a US GAAP basis and excludes certain expenses, including the rent expense related to our Master Lease, and is provided for the limited purposes discussed herein. In addition, Adjusted EBITDAR as used by us may not be defined in the same manner as other companies in our industry, and, as a result, may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures of other companies. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDAR should not be viewed as a measure of overall operating performance or considered in isolation or as an alternative to net earnings, because it excludes the rent expense associated with our Master Lease and certain other items.

*Net Debt*

We define Net Debt as total long-term debt (including current portion) plus deferred financing costs minus cash and cash equivalents. Net Debt is not considered a liquidity measure recognized under US GAAP. Management believes that Net Debt is a valuable measure of our overall financial situation. Net Debt provides investors with an indication of our ability to pay off all of our long-term debt were it to become due simultaneously. The reconciliation of Net Debt is presented below.

The Happy Valley Casino in Pennsylvania is expected to open in spring 2026. This casino, which is 112 miles from Rocky Gap, is expected to increase competition for Rocky Gap and could have a negative impact on our results of operations in Maryland. We believe our marketing efforts to surrounding areas such as Baltimore and Washington D.C. and the other non-casino amenities that our property offers, such as our golf course, will minimize the potential impact of this competitor on Rocky Gap's performance.

We partner with sports betting operators that conduct sports wagering at our West Virginia location. The agreement provides for a share of net gaming revenue. In addition, we operate internet and mobile interactive gaming applications in West Virginia with two iGaming partners. The agreements provide for a share of net iGaming revenue.

**<u>2025 compared to 2024</u>**

The following discussion highlights results for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.

Winter weather negatively impacted the properties during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024*.*

Decreased net operating revenue was due to increased promotional allowances at both properties and decreased gaming revenue at our Mountaineer property, offset by increased gaming revenue and increased hotel revenue due to increases in room rates at our Rocky Gap property and increased pari-mutuel revenue at our Mountaineer property. At our Rocky Gap property, the golf course was closed for the majority of the first quarter of 2025 due to winter weather, which impacted gaming, hotel and food and beverage

revenue. Decreased operating costs and expenses were due to decreased gaming-related, maintenance and insurance expenses, partially offset by increased payroll expense.

We opened the new land-based casino and hotel in Caruthersville on November 1, 2024. The casino has 579 slot machines and seven live table games, which is approximately a 50% increase in gaming positions compared with the prior temporary location. The number of hotel rooms doubled to 74.

We opened The Riverview in Cape Girardeau in April 2024. The Riverview is a 69 room, six-story hotel with 68,000 square feet that is adjacent to and connected with Century Casino Cape Girardeau.

We partner with sports betting operators that conduct sports wagering at our Colorado and Missouri locations. Each agreement with the sports betting operators provides for a share of net gaming revenue with a minimum revenue guarantee each year. We have partnered with BetMGM to operate a sports book at Cape Girardeau and an online and mobile sports betting application under our license in Missouri. Sports betting began in Missouri on December 1, 2025. As stated above in "Comparability Impacts", our sports betting agreements in Colorado with Circa and Tipico ended in May 2024 and July 2024, respectively.

The Cripple Creek and Central City casinos in Colorado stopped offering table gaming in January 2025. Through December 2025, the removal of table games has not had a material impact on earnings from operations at our Colorado casinos as the expense savings have offset the decrease in revenue. Table games revenue in Colorado was $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.

**<u>2025 Compared to 2024</u>**

The following discussion highlights results for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.

Winter weather negatively impacted the properties during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024*.*

In Missouri, net operating revenue increased by approximately $9.7 million primarily due to increased revenue at our new casino in Caruthersville and increased hotel and food and beverage revenue at our Cape Girardeau property due to the new hotel opened in 2024, offset by decreased gaming revenue at our Cape Girardeau property. The increases in Missouri were offset by decreased net operating revenue of approximately $6.4 million in Colorado. Decreased net operating revenue in Colorado was primarily due to the termination of two sports betting agreements in 2024, as detailed above, decreased gaming revenue due to the elimination of table games at both properties, and the inclement weather in February 2025. Operating costs and expenses in the Midwest operating segment increased due to increased payroll and gaming-related expenses at the Missouri locations due to opening our new hotels and the new Caruthersville casino in 2024, partially offset by decreased payroll at the Colorado locations due to the closure of table games.

We partner with sports betting operators that conduct sports wagering at our Nevada location. The agreement provides for a share of net gaming revenue.

**<u>2025 Compared to 2024</u>**

The following discussion highlights results for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.

Winter weather negatively impacted the property during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024*.*

Net operating revenue at the Nugget decreased primarily due to fewer events held at our outdoor event center and decreased gaming, hotel and food and beverage revenue, offset by decreased promotional allowances. We continue to focus our efforts on marketing group and convention sales for the hotel and our new loyalty program in an effort to drive revenue growth. Operating costs and expenses decreased primarily due to decreased payroll and cost of goods sold from the cost saving measures and operating efficiencies that we began implementing mid-April 2024 and decreased production costs as a result of fewer events at the outdoor event center. The cost saving measures included staffing changes and changes to hotel operations.

In February 2023, the AGLC approved a temporary increase from 15% of slot machine net sales retained by casinos to 17% beginning April 1, 2023. In January 2026, the temporary increase was extended through March 31, 2029. We estimate that the additional 2% of slot machine net sales retained by the casinos resulted in net operating revenue of approximately $2.9 million during each of the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

A competitor has received conditional approval to relocate its casino from Camrose, Alberta, to south Edmonton, approximately 11 miles from our Century Mile property. We anticipate the casino will open in 2027 once construction is complete and final approvals are received. An increase in competitors to the Edmonton market and near our Century Mile property could lead to a decrease in visitors at our casinos and have a negative impact on our results of operations in Canada.

In June 2025, Alberta's Bill 48 regulating iGaming in Alberta passed. The bill will create an open market for online sports betting and iGaming with retail sports betting available at casinos and specific sports venues. The regulatory framework is still being finalized but it is expected that casinos will have the option to select a licensed third-party provider or partner with AGLC to provide sports betting and iGaming products. We plan to offer retail sports betting at our locations in Alberta through either a licensed third-party provider or the AGLC.

**<u>2025 Compared to 2024</u>**

The following discussion highlights results for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. Unless otherwise indicated, explanations below are provided based on CAD results.

Net operating revenue increased due to increased gaming revenue at our St. Albert and Century Downs properties, increased pari-mutuel revenue at both of our racetracks and increased food and beverage revenue at our St. Albert property, offset by decreased gaming revenue at our Edmonton and Century Mile properties. Operating costs and expenses increased due to increased payroll costs.

In Poland, casino gaming licenses are granted for a term of six years. These licenses are not renewable. Before a gaming license expires in a particular city, there is a public notification of the available license and any gaming company can apply for a new license for that city. We closed our Hilton Hotel casino in Warsaw in June 2025 after we were notified that we had not received a new license.

The table below provides information about the closures due to licensing delays and failure to receive license awards during the periods discussed below.

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)The Katowice casino reopened in March 2024 with a reduced gaming floor. We reopened the full gaming floor in May 2025 following regulatory approval.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)The Wroclaw casino reopened at a new location following the closure.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)We were notified in October 2024 that we were not awarded casino licenses for these locations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4)We were notified in June 2025 that we were not awarded a casino license for this location.

We were awarded a second license in Wroclaw in March 2025, and the casino opened in February 2026.

We have not seen a material negative impact on our operations as a result of the war in Ukraine. Although Poland borders Ukraine, our casinos are not located near the border. However, continued conflict in that region could have a negative impact on our results of operations.

**<u>2025 Compared to 2024</u>**

The following discussion highlights results for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. Unless otherwise indicated, explanations below are provided based on PLN results.

Net operating revenue decreased primarily due to licensing-related closures of our LIM Center and Krakow casinos and Hilton Hotel casino in Warsaw, offset by increased revenue due to the casinos that reopened in 2024 in Wroclaw, Bielsko-Biala and Katowice. The decreased revenue due to the closure of the casino at the Hilton Hotel in Warsaw was partially offset by increased revenue at the Warsaw Presidential Hotel. Operating costs and expenses decreased due to the decrease in payroll expenses from casino closures.

*Interest income*

Interest income is related to interest earned on our cash reserves.

*Interest expense*

Interest expense is directly related to interest owed on the borrowings under our Goldman Credit Agreement, CRM's term loan with UniCredit Bank Austria AG ("UniCredit"), the CPL credit agreement and credit facility with mBank S.A. ("mBank", the "CPL Credit Agreement" and the "CPL Credit Facility"), our financing obligation under the Master Lease with VICI PropCo, deferred financing costs and our finance lease agreements. Interest expense in the US East, US Midwest and Canada reportable segments primarily relates to the Master Lease. Interest expense not attributable to our reportable segments and presented in "Corporate and Other" primarily relates to the Goldman Credit Agreement.

A breakdown of interest expense is below.

*Gain on foreign currency transactions, cost recovery income and other*

Cost recovery income is related to infrastructure built during the development of CDR. The infrastructure was built by the non-controlling shareholders prior to our acquisition of our controlling ownership interest in CDR. Cost recovery income of $1.0 million and $1.1 million was received by CDR for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The distribution to CDR's non-controlling shareholders through non-controlling interest is part of an agreement between CRM and CDR.

*Taxes*

Income tax expense is recorded relative to the jurisdictions that recognize book earnings. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we recognized income tax expense of $2.7 million on pre-tax loss of ($51.1) million, representing an effective income tax rate of (5.4%), compared to an income tax expense of $26.6 million on pre-tax loss of ($119.9) million, representing an effective income tax rate of (22.2%), for the year ended December 31, 2024. For further discussion of our effective income tax rates and an analysis of our effective income tax rate compared to the US federal statutory income tax rate, see Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this report.

**LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES**

Our business is capital intensive, and we rely heavily on the ability of our casinos to generate operating cash flow. We use the cash flows that we generate to maintain operations, fund reinvestment in existing properties for both refurbishment and expansion projects, repay third party debt, and pursue additional growth via new development and acquisition opportunities. When necessary and available, we supplement the cash flows generated by our operations with either cash on hand or funds provided by bank borrowings, other debt or equity financing activities or funding arrangements with third-party partners, such as VICI PropCo in connection with our casino project in Caruthersville.

**Cash Flows – Summary**

Our cash flows; cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash; and working capital consisted of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of December 31, 2024 included $2.7 million previously funded by VICI PropCo that had not been spent on our Caruthersville project as of such date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)Working capital is defined as current assets minus current liabilities.

*Operating Activities*

Trends in our operating cash flows tend to follow trends in earnings from operations excluding non-cash charges, offset by cash rent, income tax payments and interest payments on our long-term debt. Please refer also to the consolidated statements of cash flows in the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this report and to management's discussion of the results of operations above in this Item 7 for a discussion of earnings from operations.

*Investing Activities*

Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 consisted of $0.7 million for a casino license in Poland, $2.7 million in slot machines and gaming related purchases for our US properties, $0.7 million for exterior renovations at our Cripple Creek property in Colorado, $0.7 million in exterior renovations at Mountaineer in West Virginia, $0.2 million for bar renovations and $0.7 million for façade and parking lot improvements at Rocky Gap in Maryland, $0.4 million for the sportsbook in Cape Girardeau, $4.0 million for our casino project in Caruthersville, Missouri, $3.4 million in elevator upgrades and $0.2 million to renovate event space at the Nugget in Nevada, $0.7 million in racing related updates at Century Downs and $0.7 million in exterior renovations at St. Albert in Canada, $1.6 million to renovate the new Wroclaw casino and $0.5 million to renovate the Bielsko-Biala casino in Poland, and $5.5 million in other fixed asset additions at our properties, offset by $0.2 million collected on a note receivable and $0.2 million in proceeds from the disposal of assets.

Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 consisted of $1.8 million for casino licenses in Poland, $4.9 million in slot machine purchases at our US properties, $0.3 million in various renovations to the Mountaineer property in West Virginia, $11.1 million for our hotel project and $0.5 million to add a Starbucks location in Cape Girardeau, $30.0 million for our casino project in Caruthersville, $0.3 million for a high limit room, $0.1 million for sportsbook improvements and $0.5 million in various renovations in Nevada, $0.5 million in gaming-related purchases and $0.7 million in hotel and exterior renovations at our Colorado properties, $1.9 million related to racing related updates at Century Downs, $0.6 million in various renovations at St. Albert in Canada, $4.9 million in renovations on the new Wroclaw casino location in Poland and $3.0 million in other fixed asset additions at our properties, offset by $0.1 million in proceeds from the disposal of assets and less than $0.1 million collected on a note receivable.

*Financing Activities*

Net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 consisted of $8.6 million in distributions to non-controlling interests in CDR, CPL and Smooth Bourbon, $4.0 million to repurchase and retire shares of our common stock and $2.8 million of principal payments net of proceeds from borrowings.

------

Net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 consisted of $8.8 million in distributions to non-controlling interests in CDR, CPL and Smooth Bourbon, and $0.2 million to repurchase shares to satisfy tax withholding related to our performance stock unit awards, offset by $4.7 million in proceeds from borrowings net of principal payments, of which $11.8 million consisted of proceeds from borrowings from VICI PropCo for the Caruthersville project.

**Borrowings and Repayments of Long-Term Debt and Lease Agreements**

As of December 31, 2025, our total debt under bank borrowings and other agreements net of $8.8 million related to deferred financing costs was $328.9 million, of which $321.4 million was long-term debt and $7.6 million was the current portion of long-term debt. The current portion relates to payments due within one year under our Goldman Credit Agreement, the CPL Credit Agreement and the CPL Credit Facility. The Goldman Credit Agreement provides for a $350.0 million Goldman Term Loan and a $30.0 million Revolving Facility. We intend to repay the current portion of our debt obligations with available cash. If opportunities to repurchase debt at a discount are offered, as occurred in February 2024 when we repurchased approximately $3.5 million under our Goldman Term Loan for 97% of its value, we may undertake such repurchases. We also may seek to refinance our debt if market conditions allow. For a description of our debt agreements, see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this report. Net Debt was $268.8 million as of December 31, 2025 compared to $240.8 million as of December 31, 2024. The increase in net debt is primarily due to decreased cash. For the definition and reconciliation of Net Debt to the most directly comparable US GAAP measure, see "Non-GAAP Measures Definitions and Calculations – Net Debt" above in this Item 7.

The following table lists the 2026 maturities of our debt:

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| *Amounts in thousands* |  |  |  |
| **Goldman Term Loan <sup>(1)</sup>** | **CPL Credit Agreement <sup>(2)</sup>** | **CPL Credit Facility <sup>(3)</sup>** | **Total** |
| $3500 | $278 | $3780 | $7558 |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)The Goldman Term Loan requires scheduled quarterly payments of $875,000, equal to 0.25% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan, with the balance due at maturity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)The CPL Credit Agreement could be borrowed against through January 29, 2026. The repayments above are based on the payment schedule set forth in the agreement of PLN 83,000 per month (approximately $23,000 per month based on the exchange rate in effect as of December 31, 2025).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)The CPL Credit Facility is a line of credit available through June 2026. There is no set repayment schedule for the line of credit. We have included the balance in 2026 based on our planned repayment schedule.

Estimated interest payments based on principal amounts and expected maturities of long-term debt outstanding and management's forecasted rates for our long-term debt agreements for the year ending December 31, 2026 are $33.2 million. Estimated interest payments do not reflect the impact of future foreign exchange rate changes.

Cash payments due under the Master Lease for 2026 are estimated to be $67.3 million, which includes a CPI increase and deferred rent on the Caruthersville project that will be repaid through May 2026. Estimated cash payments to the non-controlling partners under the lease between Smooth Bourbon and the Nugget for 2026 are estimated to be $7.9 million.

The following table details cash payments under the Master Lease, and 50% of the cash payments under the Nugget Lease for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Rent expense related to the Master Lease is included in interest expense on our consolidated statements of loss. The Nugget Lease is considered an intercompany lease and income and expense related to the lease are eliminated in consolidation. The 50% interest in the Nugget Lease owned by Marnell through Smooth Bourdon is recorded as non-controlling interest on our consolidated statements of loss.

**Common Stock Repurchase Program**

Since March 2000, our Board has had a discretionary program to repurchase our outstanding common stock. Beginning in May 2025, we have entered into 10b5-1 trading plans (the "Plans") for the purpose of repurchasing shares of our outstanding common stock in accordance with the share repurchase program previously authorized by the Board. The Plans are intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act. Repurchases of common stock under the Plans are being administered through an independent broker and are subject to certain price, market, volume and timing constraints specified in the Plans.

The Plan announced May 14, 2025 expired by its terms on July 31, 2025, and the Plan announced August 11, 2025 expired by its terms on December 31, 2025. Our current Plan was announced on January 2, 2026. The current Plan authorizes the repurchase of up to $1.5 million of shares of our outstanding common stock and expires by its terms on May 10, 2026. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we repurchased and retired 1,951,955 shares of our common stock for $4.0 million on the open market under the Plans. We intend to engage in additional stock repurchases through our current Plan that expires in May 2026 and also may undertake additional stock repurchases in the future. See Part II, Item 5 of this report for additional details.

**Potential Sources and Uses of Liquidity, and Short-Term and Long-Term Liquidity**

Historically, our primary source of liquidity and capital resources has been cash flow from operations. As of December 31, 2025, we had $68.9 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to $98.8 million in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2024. Cash and cash equivalents decreased primarily due to net cash used in investing activities of $22.3 million as discussed in "Investing Activities" above, including capital expenditures. Capital expenditures in 2025 were approximately $22.0 million. We plan to decrease our 2026 capital expenditures and estimate capital expenditures in 2026 to be approximately $14.7 million, including elevator upgrades at the Nugget and other maintenance expenditures at our properties. We may also utilize available cash to pay down debt or repurchase our common stock.

A substantial portion of our operating cash flow also is used to fund our debt repayments and lease payments as described in "Borrowings and Repayments of Long-Term Debt and Lease Agreements" above. When necessary and available, we supplement the cash flows generated by our operations with funds provided by bank borrowings or other debt or equity financing activities. If we have aggregate outstanding revolving loans, swingline loans, and letters of credit under the Goldman Credit Agreement greater than $10.5 million as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, we are required to maintain a Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio of 5.50 to 1.00 or less for such fiscal quarter. We had no outstanding revolving loans, swingline loans, or letters of credit as of December 31, 2025, and therefore the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio requirement did not apply. As of December 31, 2025, we had $30.0 million available on our Revolving Facility. See Note 5, "Long-Term Debt" to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this report.

We may be required to raise additional capital to address our liquidity and capital needs. We have a shelf registration statement with the SEC that became effective in June 2023 under which we may issue, from time to time, up to $100 million of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities and other securities. We intend to renew the shelf registration statement in 2026.

If necessary, we may seek to obtain further term loans, mortgages or lines of credit with commercial banks, sale and leaseback transactions of property we own or acquire, or other debt financings or refinancings or equity financings to supplement our working capital and investing requirements. Our access to and cost of financing will depend on, among other things, global economic conditions, conditions in the financing markets, the availability of sufficient amounts of financing, our prospects and our credit ratings. A financing transaction may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and a financing transaction may be dilutive to our current stockholders. The failure to raise the funds necessary to fund our debt service and rent obligations and finance our operations and other capital requirements could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and liquidity.

We estimate that approximately $36.7 million of our total $68.9 million in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2025 is held by our foreign subsidiaries, of which $21.4 million, including $8.8 million in casino cash, is held by our Canadian subsidiaries and $3.7 million, including $3.4 million in casino cash, is held by our Poland subsidiary, and the remaining $11.5 million is held by our foreign corporate subsidiaries. The cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries are not available to fund US operations unless repatriated. Due to management's anticipation of repatriating certain current earnings from its foreign subsidiaries, we recorded a deferred tax liability of $4.2 million for the foreign withholding tax required on a potential cash dividend to the US related to earnings from the sale and leaseback of our Canadian properties in 2023, as well as current earnings from foreign subsidiaries.

**Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements** 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, transactions, obligations or other relationships with unconsolidated entities that would be expected to have a material current or future effect upon our consolidated financial statements.

**Critical Accounting Estimates**

Management's discussion and analysis of our results of operations and liquidity and capital resources are based on our consolidated financial statements. To prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, we must make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate these estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this report. Critical estimates inherent in these accounting policies are discussed in the following paragraphs.

***Property and Equipment* –** We have significant capital invested in our property and equipment, which represented approximately 81% of our total assets as of December 31, 2025. Judgments are made in determining the estimated useful lives of assets, salvage values to be assigned to assets and if or when an asset has been impaired. The accuracy of these estimates affects the amount of depreciation expense recognized in our financial results and the extent to which we have a gain or loss on the disposal of the asset. We assign lives to our assets based on our standard policy, which we believe is representative of the useful life of each category of assets. As of December 31, 2025, we have made no changes to our estimates related to useful lives.

We use judgment in estimating future cash flows when we review the carrying value of our property and equipment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The factors we consider in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, as well as the effect of obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors. The accuracy of these estimates affects the carrying value of our property and equipment on our consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2025, we believe that our investments in property and equipment are recoverable.

***Goodwill and Intangible Assets* –** We test goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment as of October 1 each year, or more frequently as circumstances indicate it is necessary. Our identifiable intangible assets include trademarks, player's club lists and casino licenses. Testing compares the estimated fair values of our reporting units to the reporting units' carrying values. Assessing goodwill and intangible assets for impairment requires significant judgment and involves detailed qualitative and quantitative business-specific analysis and many individual assumptions that may fluctuate between assessments. Our properties' estimated future cash flows are a primary assumption in the respective impairment analyses. Cash flow estimates include assumptions regarding factors such as recent and budgeted operating performance, growth percentages as well as competitive impacts from current and anticipated competition, operating margins and current regulatory, social and economic climates. The most significant of the assumptions used in our valuations include revenue growth/decline percentages, discount rates, future terminal values and capital expenditure assumptions. These assumptions are developed for each property based on historical trends, the current markets in which they operate and projections of future performance and competition.

We believe we have used reasonable estimates and assumptions to calculate the fair value of our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets; however, these estimates and assumptions could be materially different from actual results. Unforeseen events, changes in circumstances and market conditions and material differences in estimates of future cash flows could negatively affect the fair value of our assets. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected, or if events occur or circumstances change that could reduce the fair value of our goodwill of intangible assets below the carrying value, we will recognize an impairment for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, which may be material.

Our reporting units with goodwill balances as of December 31, 2025 are included within the Canada and Poland reportable segments. We performed a qualitative goodwill impairment test of each reporting unit with goodwill balances using a combination of (i) actual results compared to previously forecast estimates and (ii) analysis of the markets in which the casinos operate. A downturn in the economies in which these casinos operate could negatively affect key assumptions management used in its analysis. We make a variety of estimates and judgments about the relevance of these factors to the reporting units in estimating their fair values.

During 2024 we determined that goodwill at the Nugget and Rocky Gap was impaired. The impairments resulted in a $70.2 million impairment of goodwill for the year ended December 31, 2024. For information about the impairments, see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this report.

------

Our indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized. We performed a qualitative impairment test of each reporting unit with indefinite-lived intangible assets using a combination of (i) actual results compared to previously forecast estimates and (ii) analysis of the markets in which the casinos operate. A downturn in the economies in which these casinos operate could negatively affect key assumptions management used in its analysis.

Our finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their respective useful lives. Finite-lived intangibles are evaluated for impairment annually or more frequently if necessary. There were no impairment charges recorded for the finite-lived intangible assets for the periods presented in this report.

***Income Taxes* –** The determination of our provision for income taxes requires management's judgment in the use of estimates and the interpretation and application of complex tax laws. Judgment is also required in assessing the timing and amounts of deductible and taxable items. We establish contingency reserves for material, known tax exposures relating to deductions, transactions and other matters involving some uncertainty as to the proper tax treatment of the item. Our reserves reflect our judgment as to the resolution of the issues involved if subject to judicial review. Several years may elapse before a particular matter, for which we have established a reserve, is audited and finally resolved or clarified. While we believe that our reserves are adequate to cover reasonably expected tax risks, issues raised by a tax authority may be finally resolved at an amount different from the related reserve. Such differences could materially increase or decrease our income tax provision in the current and/or future periods. When facts and circumstances change (including a resolution of an issue or statute of limitations expiration), these reserves are adjusted through the provision for income taxes in the period of change. To the extent we determine that we will not realize the benefit of some or all of the deferred tax assets, then these assets will be adjusted through our provision for income taxes in the period in which this determination is made.

Additionally, evaluating the need for, and amount of, a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets often requires significant judgment and extensive analysis of all the positive and negative evidence available to determine whether all or some portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. Because management believes it is more likely than not that the benefit from certain deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance of $11.5 million and $11.0 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, in foreign jurisdictions has been recorded in recognition of these risks. Further, a valuation allowance of $70.4 million and $55.7 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, has been recorded to recognize the portion of US deferred tax assets more likely than not to be realized.

We have recorded a deferred tax liability of $4.2 million on the estimated foreign withholding tax required as part of a cash dividend to the US related to earnings from the sale and leaseback of our Canadian properties in 2023, as well as current earnings from foreign subsidiaries. Management continues to consider historical foreign earnings in Canada, as well as accumulated earnings in other jurisdictions, indefinitely reinvested outside of the US.

**Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.** 

Our earnings, cash flows and financial position are exposed to market risks relating to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. All of the potential changes noted below are based on information available at December 31, 2025. The majority of our $337.7 million face value of debt outstanding as of December 31, 2025 is variable-rate debt. Each one percentage point change associated with the variable rate debt would result in a $3.4 million change to our annual cash interest expenses.

*Foreign Currency Exchange Risk*

As a result of our international business presence, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk. We transact in foreign currencies and have assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Therefore, our earnings experience volatility related to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. We have not hedged against foreign currency exchange rate changes related to our international operations. Our foreign subsidiaries transact in their local currencies and hold the majority of their assets and liabilities in their local currency.

The majority of our foreign currency exposure is related to the US dollar versus the Canadian dollar and the Polish zloty. The assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries that are measured in foreign currencies are translated at the applicable period-end exchange rate on our consolidated balance sheets. The resulting translation adjustment is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss as a component of shareholders' equity. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the change in the relative value of the US dollar against all foreign currencies in which our foreign subsidiaries operate resulted in a ($1.3) million decrease and $2.4 million increase, respectively, in accumulated other comprehensive loss within shareholders equity.

We translate revenue and expenses at each period's average exchange rate on our consolidated statements of loss and the gains and losses from translation are included in the results of operations as incurred. A depreciation in the value of the US dollar in relation to all foreign currencies in which our foreign subsidiaries operate would increase the earnings from our foreign operations when

------

translated into US dollars. An appreciation in the value of the US dollar in relation to all foreign currencies in which we operate would decrease the earnings from our foreign operations when translated into US dollars. The timing of the changes in the relative value of the US dollar combined with the operations that are impacted by that change can affect the magnitude of the impact that fluctuations in foreign exchange rates have on our earnings from operations. In 2025, earnings from operations were $51.3 million. For the year ended December 31, 2025, a 10% depreciation in the value of the US dollar relative to the Canadian dollar and the Polish zloty would have resulted in an increase in earnings from operations of $1.6 million.

As of December 31, 2025, our debt is primarily held in US dollars.

See Index to Financial Statements on page F-1.

**Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.**

None.

**Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.**

***Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures –*** Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officers and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of December 31, 2025. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officers and principal financial officer have concluded that as of December 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weakness described below.

***Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting* –** Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and Board regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements.

Our management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth in the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in *Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013).* Based on this assessment, our management believes that, as of December 31, 2025, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on those criteria. See the explanation for the controls related to the material weakness described in "Material Weakness" below.

**Material Weakness**

We concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2024. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Management identified the following material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024:

We did not adequately design, implement and maintain effective controls to timely review certain key inputs and assumptions used in the performance of impairment testing and related disclosures.

**Remediation plan for material weakness**

With the oversight of the Audit Committee of the Board, management is in the process of developing a detailed remediation plan to address the material weakness. Elements of the plan include the design and implementation of review attributes of the carrying value of invested capital at an increased level of precision of the calculation and additional reviews around assumptions used in the performance impairment testing. While we will devote significant time and attention to these remediation efforts, the material weakness will not be considered remediated until management completes the design and implementation of the actions described above, the controls operate for a sufficient period of time, and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are effective.

***Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting –*** There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended December 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

Board of Directors and Shareholders

‎Century Casinos, Inc.

‎

**Opinion on the financial statements**

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Century Casinos, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of loss, comprehensive loss, (deficit) equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 **‎Basis for opinion** 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Critical audit matter**

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

/s/ GRANT THORNTON LLP

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2020.

Circa Sports ("Circa") obtained a new partnership in Colorado, and the Circa agreement was terminated in May 2024. As part of the Circa termination agreement, the Company received a payment of $1.1 million that included sports betting revenue owed from January 2024 to May 2024 and a breakage fee of $0.7 million. Tipico Group Ltd. ("Tipico") exited the US market, and the Tipico agreement was terminated in July 2024. As part of the Tipico termination agreement, the Company received a payment of $1.6 million that included sports betting revenue owed from November 2023 to June 2024 and a breakage fee of $1.0 million. The breakage fees were recorded as other revenue in the Company's consolidated statements of loss, resulting in $1.7 million in other revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024.

**Other Projects and Developments**

*Sports Betting – Missouri*

In May 2025, the Company announced that it has partnered with BetMGM, LLC ("BetMGM") to operate an online and mobile sports betting application and retail sportsbook at its Cape Girardeau location under the Company's license in Missouri. The agreement includes a percentage of net gaming revenue payable to the Company, with a guaranteed minimum. Sports betting began in Missouri on December 1, 2025.

*Caruthersville Land-Based Casino and Hotel*

On November 1, 2024, the Company opened its new land-based casino with a 38 room hotel in Caruthersville, Missouri. The project cost approximately $51.9 million and was funded through financing provided by VICI PropCo in conjunction with the Master Lease. The Company previously amended its Master Lease on December 1, 2022 to provide for an increase in initial annualized rent of approximately $4.2 million related to the Caruthersville project. See Note 6, "Long-Term Financing Obligation" for additional information regarding the amendment to the Master Lease.

*Cape Girardeau Hotel*

On April 4, 2024, the Company opened a 69 room hotel at its Cape Girardeau location called The Riverview. The Riverview is a six story building with 68,000 square feet that is adjacent to and connected with the existing casino building. The project cost approximately $30.5 million. The Company financed the project with cash on hand.

During 2024, two of the Company's sports betting partners in Colorado, Circa Sports and Tipico, requested early termination of their agreements, and we agreed to cancel the agreements. See above in this Note 1 for discussion of these terminated agreements.

**2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

***Principles of Consolidation*** – The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company also consolidates CPL, CDR and Smooth Bourbon as majority owned subsidiaries for which the Company has a controlling interest. The portion of CPL, CDR and Smooth Bourbon that are not wholly-owned are reflected as non-controlling interests in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

***Reclassifications*** – Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto.

***Use of Estimates*** *–* The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("US GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Management's use of estimates includes estimates for property and equipment, goodwill, intangible assets and income tax.

***Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements –*** The Company has recently adopted the following accounting pronouncement:

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, *Income Taxes (Topic 740); Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures* ("ASU 2023-09"). The objective of ASU 2023-09 is to improve income tax disclosure requirements. Under ASU 2023-09, entities must annually (1) disclose specific categories in the income tax rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. Early adoption of ASU 2023-09 is permitted. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this standard as of December 31, 2025 and retrospectively applied the standard to 2024. The adoption of this guidance resulted in additional disclosure only and did not have an impact on the Company's financial position. See "Note 12 – Income Taxes" for additional disclosures.

***Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption –***

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, *Disclosure Improvements - Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC's Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative* ("ASU 2023-06"). The objective of ASU 2023-06 is to update and simplify disclosure requirements and is intended to align US GAAP and SEC requirements. Early adoption of ASU 2023-06 is not permitted. The guidance relates to various topics and is effective on the date on which the SEC's removal of that related disclosure requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective and is to be applied prospectively. If by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed the applicable requirements the pending content will be removed. The Company is reviewing the updates provided by this standard. The Company is still evaluating the impact of adoption but does not expect the standard to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, *Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)* ("ASU 2024-03"). The objective of ASU 2024-03 is to disaggregate the disclosure of expenses such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, *Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date* ("ASU 2025-01"). ASU 2025-01 clarified that ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods with annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption of ASU 2024-3 is permitted. The standard can be adopted prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently analyzing the additional disclosure requirements of ASU 2024-03 and the impact of adoption on the Company's financial statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, *Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements* ("ASU 2025-11"). The objective of ASU 2025-11 is to improve the navigability of the interim reporting guidance in Accounting Standard Codification 270 "Interim Reporting" ("ASC 270") and to clarify when ASC 270 applies. ASU 2025-11 is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption of ASU 2025-11 is permitted. The Company is currently analyzing ASU 2025-11 and the impact of adoption on the Company's interim financial statements.

***Cash and Cash Equivalents*** – All highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had $10.0 million and $25.0 million, respectively, in cash equivalents. A reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as stated in the Company's statement of cash flows is presented in the following table:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **December 31,**  | **December 31,**  |
| *Amounts in thousands* | **2025** | **2024** |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $68921 | $98769 |
| Restricted cash included in deposits and other | 297 | 244 |
| Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows | $69218 | $99013 |

---

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $0.2 million in deposits related to payments of prizes and giveaways for Casinos Poland and $0.1 million in deposits related to insurance policies in restricted cash included in deposits and other on its consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $0.2 million related to payments of prizes and giveaways for Casinos Poland and $0.1 million related to an insurance policy in restricted cash included in deposits and other on its consolidated balance sheet.

***Concentrations of Credit Risk*** – Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. Although the amount of credit exposure to any one institution may exceed federally insured amounts, the Company limits its cash investments to high quality financial institutions in order to minimize its credit risk.

-F10-

------

***Accounts Receivable*** – Accounts receivable are expected to be collected within six months of the maturity date. An estimated allowance for credit losses is maintained to reduce the Company's receivables to their carrying amount, which reflects the net amount the Company expects to collect. The allowance estimate reflects specific review of customer accounts taking into consideration the amount owed, the age of the account, the customer's financial condition, management's experience with historical and current collection trends, current economic and business conditions, and management's expectations of future economic and business conditions and forecasts. Accounts receivable are written off when management deems them to be uncollectible.

***Inventories*** *–* Inventories, which consist primarily of food, beverage, retail merchandise and operating supplies, are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method.

***Property and Equipment*** *–* Property and equipment are stated at cost. Costs of major improvements are capitalized, and costs of normal repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation of assets in service is determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated service lives used are as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Buildings and improvements | 5 – 39 years |
| Gaming equipment | 3 – 7 years |
| Furniture and non-gaming equipment | 3 – 7 years |

---

The Company evaluates long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If there is an indication of impairment, determined by the excess of the carrying value in relation to anticipated undiscounted future cash flows, the carrying amount of the asset is written down to its estimated fair value by a charge to operations. See Note 3 for additional information about the Company's property and equipment.

***Goodwill*** *–* Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired related to third party business combinations. See Note 4 for additional information about the Company's goodwill, including the impairment recorded in the year ended December 31, 2024.

***Intangible Assets*** – Identifiable intangible assets include trademarks, player's club lists and casino licenses. The Company's intangible assets identified as indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized. The Company's finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their respective useful lives. See Note 4 for additional information about the Company's intangible assets.

***Financing Obligation with VICI PropCo*** – In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842, "Leases" ("ASC 842"), for transactions in which the Company enters into a contract to sell an asset and leases it back from the seller under a sale and leaseback transaction, the Company must determine whether control of the asset has transferred from the Company. In cases whereby control has not transferred from the Company, the Company continues to reflect the real estate assets on its consolidated balance sheets and continues to recognize depreciation expense over the shorter of the remaining useful life or the lease term. Additionally, a financial liability is recognized and referred to as a financing obligation, in accordance with ASC 470, "Debt" ("ASC 470"). The accounting for financing obligations under ASC 470 is materially consistent with the accounting for finance leases under ASC 842. The Company concluded that its Master Lease is required to be accounted for as a financing obligation. See Note 6 for additional information about the Company's financing obligation. The Company does not recognize rent expense related to these leased assets; instead, a portion of the minimum lease payments under the Master Lease is recognized as interest expense with the remainder of the payment reducing the failed sale-leaseback financing obligation using the effective interest method. Contingent payments and payments on account of Consumer Price Index ("CPI") increases are recorded as interest expense as incurred. In the initial periods, cash payments are less than the interest expense recognized in the consolidated statements of loss, which causes the financing obligation to increase.

***Foreign Currency*** – The Company's functional currency is the US dollar ("USD" or "$"). Foreign subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the US dollar translate assets and liabilities at current exchange rates at the end of the reporting periods, while income and expense accounts are translated at average exchange rates for the respective periods. The Company and its subsidiaries enter into various transactions made in currencies different from their functional currencies. These transactions are typically denominated in the Canadian dollar ("CAD"), Euro ("EUR") and Polish zloty ("PLN"). Gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to these transactions are included in non-operating income (expense) as they occur.

-F11-

The exchange rates to the US dollar used to translate balances for the reported periods are as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **As of December 31,**  | **As of December 31,** |
| *Ending Rates* | **2025** | **2024** |

***Comprehensive Loss*** – Comprehensive loss includes the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency rates on the values of the Company's foreign investments.

***Revenue Recognition*** – The Company's performance obligations related to contracts with customers consist of the following:

*Gaming*

The majority of the Company's revenue is derived from gaming transactions involving wagers wherein, upon settlement, the Company either retains the customer's wager, or returns the wager to the customer. Gaming revenue is reported as the net difference between wins and losses. The Company applies a practical expedient by accounting for its casino wagering transactions on a portfolio basis versus an individual basis as all wagers have similar characteristics. Gaming revenue is reduced by the incremental amount of unpaid progressive jackpots in the period during which the jackpot increases and the dollar value of points earned through tracked play. Performance obligations are satisfied upon completion of the wager with liabilities recognized for points earned through play. The Company offers lines of credit to customers at select locations; the lines of credit are short-term in nature.

Hotel accommodations and food and beverage furnished without charge, coupons and downloadable credits provided to customers to entice play are considered marketing incentives to induce play and are presented as a reduction to gaming revenue at their retail value on the date of redemption. Members of the Company's casinos' player's clubs earn points based on, among other things, their volume of play at the Company's casinos. Players can accumulate points over time that they may redeem at their discretion under the terms of the program. The value of the points is offset against the revenue in the period in which the points were earned. Marketing incentives and player's club points provided to gaming customers allocated to gaming revenue were $84.9 million and $82.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company records a liability based on the redemption value of the player's club points earned with an estimate for breakage, and records a corresponding reduction in gaming revenue. The value of unused or unredeemed points is included in accrued liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

*Hotel, Food and Beverage and Other Sales*

Goods and services provided include hotel room rentals, food and beverage sales and retail sales. The majority of the hotel, food and beverage and other sales contracts are satisfied on the same day and revenue is recognized on the date of the sale. Revenue that is collected before the date of sale is recorded as deferred revenue. In the normal course of business, the Company does not accept product returns. The Company excludes taxes assessed by a governmental authority and collected by the Company from the transaction price.

*Pari-Mutuel*

Pari-mutuel revenue involves wagers on horse racing. The Company facilitates wagers on horse racing through live racing at the Company's racetrack, off-track betting parlors at the Company's casinos, and the operation of the Alberta off-track betting network. The Company has determined that it is the principal in the performance obligations through which amounts are wagered on horse

races run at the Company's racetrack. For these performance obligations, the Company records revenue as the commission retained on wagers with revenue recognized on the date of the wager. The Company has determined that it is acting as the agent for all wagers placed through the Company's off-track betting parlors and the off-track betting network. For these performance obligations, the Company records pari-mutuel revenue as the commission retained on wagers less the expense for host fees to the host racetrack. Expenses related to licenses and HRA levies are expensed in the same month as revenue is recognized.

*Sports Betting and iGaming*

Sports betting revenue involves wagers on sporting events, and iGaming revenue involves wagers on casino games through an online platform. The Company partners with sports betting and iGaming operators at its Missouri, Colorado, West Virginia and Nevada casinos to provide these services. The agreements generally provide the Company with a share of net gaming revenue and a minimum revenue guarantee each year from the sports betting and iGaming operators. The Company has determined that it is acting as the agent in its sports betting and iGaming transactions as the partner controls the betting service. For these performance obligations, the Company records sports betting and iGaming revenue as the minimum revenue guarantee or its contractual share of the net gaming revenue with the revenue recognized upon settlement of the wager. A contract liability is maintained for wagers at the Company's Cape Girardeau sports book for unsettled wagers.

***Promotional Allowances*** – The Company issues coupons and downloadable promotional credits to customers for the purpose of generating future revenue. The value of coupons and downloadable promotional credits redeemed is applied against the revenue generated on the day of the redemption. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the estimated direct costs of providing promotional allowances were as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **For the year**  | **For the year**  |
|  | **ended December 31,**  | **ended December 31,**  |
| *Amounts in thousands* | **2025** | **2024** |
| Hotel | $996 | $529 |
| Food and beverage | 3864 | 4489 |
|  | $4860 | $5018 |

---

***Loyalty Programs –*** Members of the Company's casinos' player's clubs earn points based on, among other things, their volume of play at the Company's casinos. Players can accumulate points over time that they may redeem at their discretion under the terms of the program. The Company records a liability based on the redemption value of the points earned and records a corresponding reduction in casino revenue. Points can be redeemed for cash, downloadable promotional credits and/or various amenities at the casino, such as meals, hotel stays and gift shop items. The value of the points is offset against the revenue in the period in which the points were earned. The value of unused or unredeemed points is reduced by points not expected to be redeemed (breakage) and included in accrued liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The outstanding balance of this liability on the Company's consolidated balance sheets was $2.0 million and $2.1 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

***Stock-Based Compensation –*** Stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the vesting period. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model for all non-performance option grants and the Monte Carlo option pricing model for all performance stock unit grants related to total shareholder return to determine the fair value of all such grants. See Note 11 for additional information about the Company's stock-based compensation.

***Advertising Costs –*** Advertising costs are expensed when incurred by the Company. Advertising costs were $5.9 million and $6.6 million in the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and are primarily included in gaming expenses on the Company's consolidated statements of loss.

***Income Taxes*** – The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, which provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the difference between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, at a rate expected to be in effect when the differences become deductible or payable. Recorded deferred tax assets are evaluated for impairment by reviewing internal estimates for future taxable income.

***Earnings Per Share*** – The calculation of basic earnings per share considers the weighted average outstanding common shares in the computation. The calculation of diluted earnings per share also gives effect to all potentially dilutive securities. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus, if dilutive, the assumed exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method.

No long-lived asset impairment charges were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Approximately $745.5 million of the Company's land and building and improvements are under the Master Lease and the Nugget Lease.

**4. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS**

***Goodwill***

Goodwill represents the future economic benefits of a business combination to the extent that the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company determines the estimated fair value of the net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed after review and consideration of relevant information including discounted cash flows, quoted market prices, and estimates made by management.

The Company tests goodwill for impairment as of October 1 each year, or more frequently as circumstances indicate it is necessary. Testing compares the estimated fair values of the reporting units to the reporting units' carrying values. The reportable segments with goodwill balances as of December 31, 2025 were Canada and Poland. For the quantitative goodwill impairment test, the current fair value of each reporting unit with goodwill balances is estimated using a combination of (i) the income approach using the discounted cash flow method for projected revenue, EBITDA and working capital, (ii) the market approach observing the price at which comparable companies or shares of comparable companies are bought or sold, and (iii) fair value measurements

-F14-

------

using either quoted market price or an estimate of fair value using a present value technique. The cost approach, estimating the cost of reproduction or replacement of an asset, was considered but not used because it does not adequately capture an operating company's intangible value. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, the Company will recognize an impairment for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. The impairment analysis requires management to make estimates about future operating results, valuation multiples and discount rates and assumptions based on historical data and consideration of future market conditions. Changes in the assumptions can materially affect these estimates. Given the uncertainty inherent in any projection, actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used, or conditions may change, which could result in additional impairment charges in the future. Such impairments could be material. During the 2025 annual impairment testing, the Company performed a qualitative goodwill impairment test of each reporting unit with goodwill balances using a combination of (i) actual results compared to previously forecast estimates and (ii) analysis of the markets in which the casinos operate.

During its 2024 annual impairment testing, the Company determined that goodwill related to the Nugget was impaired. On July 30, 2024, the Company announced that it was replacing the management team at the Nugget. During the annual forecast process that began mid-fourth quarter 2024, the new management team revised the future operating results assumptions due to revised future performance expectations for the Nugget based on estimated future market conditions and analysis of the property's sustained decrease in performance since its acquisition. The Company recorded $43.7 million to impairment – goodwill in its consolidated statement of loss for the year ended December 31, 2024 related to the impairment of the Nugget's goodwill.

During 2024, the Company determined that goodwill related to Rocky Gap was impaired. During the annual forecast process that began mid-fourth quarter 2024, the management team at Rocky Gap revised the future operating results assumptions due to delays in the execution of a planned player engagement strategy. As a result of the updated forecast, goodwill related to Rocky Gap was concluded to be impaired during the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company recorded $26.5 million to impairment – goodwill in its consolidated statement of loss for the year ended December 31, 2024 related to the impairment of Rocky Gap's goodwill.

Changes in the carrying value of goodwill related to US East, US Midwest, US West, Canada and Poland segments are as follows:

***Intangible Assets***

The Company tests its indefinite-lived intangible assets as of October 1 each year, or more frequently as circumstances indicate it is necessary. The fair value is determined primarily using the multi-period excess earnings methodology ("MPEEM") and the relief from royalty method under the income approach. During the 2025 annual impairment testing, the Company performed a qualitative impairment test of each reporting unit with indefinite-lived intangible assets using a combination of (i) actual results compared to previously forecast estimates and (ii) analysis of the markets in which the casinos operate.

**Trademarks**

The Company currently owns five trademarks: Century Casinos, Mountaineer, Nugget, Rocky Gap and Casinos Poland. The trademarks are reported as intangible assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

**Trademarks: Finite-Lived**

The Company has determined that each of the Mountaineer and Rocky Gap trademarks, reported in the US East segment, and the Nugget trademark, reported in the US West segment, have a useful life of ten years after considering, among other things, the expected use of the asset, the expected useful life of other related assets or asset groups, any legal, regulatory, or contractual provisions that may limit the useful life, the effects of obsolescence, demand and other economic factors, and the maintenance expenditures required to promote and support the trademark. As such, the trademarks will be amortized over their useful lives. Costs incurred to renew trademarks that are finite-lived are expensed over the renewal period to general and administrative expenses on the Company's consolidated statements of loss.

Changes in the carrying amount of the finite-lived trademarks are as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| *Amounts in thousands* | **Balance at <br>‎January 1, 2025** | **Amortization** | **Balance at <br>‎December 31, 2025** |

| 2030 | 1428 |
| Thereafter | 3477 |
|  | $11545 |

---

-F16-

------

Trademark amortization expense was $1.7 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. The weighted-average amortization period of the United States trademarks is 6.3 years.

**Trademarks: Indefinite-Lived**

The Company has determined the Casinos Poland trademark, reported in the Poland segment, and the Century Casinos trademark, presented in the table below as Corporate and Other for reconciliation purposes, have indefinite useful lives and therefore the Company does not amortize these trademarks. Costs incurred to renew trademarks that are indefinite-lived are expensed over the renewal period as general and administrative expenses on the Company's consolidated statements of loss.

Changes in the carrying amount of the indefinite-lived trademarks are as follows:

**Casino Licenses: Finite-Lived**

As of December 31, 2025, Casinos Poland had six casino licenses, each with an original term of six years, which are reported as finite-lived intangible assets and are amortized over their respective useful lives.

Changes in the carrying amount of the finite-lived licenses are as follows:

---

| | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| *Amounts in thousands* | **Balance at January 1, 2025** | **New Casino License** | **Amortization** | **Currency translation** | **Balance at <br>‎December 31, 2025** |

| 2030 | 194 |
| Thereafter | 30 |
|  | $2621 |

---

These estimates do not reflect the impact of future foreign exchange rate changes or the continuation of the licenses following their expiration. Casino license amortization expense was $0.6 million and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The weighted average period before the next license expiration is 4.2 years. In Poland, casino gaming licenses are granted for a term of six years and are not renewable. Before a gaming license expires for a particular city, there is a public notification of an available license and any gaming company can apply for the license for that city. Although the Company applies for the new license prior to the expiration of the current license, there is no guarantee a new license will be awarded prior to the expiration of the current license or at all. The Company was awarded a second license in the city of Wroclaw in March 2025. The Company opened the casino in February 2026.

As of December 31, 2025, the outstanding balance of the Goldman Term Loan was $333.4 million and the Company had not borrowed on its $30.0 million Revolving Facility. The Company used the Goldman Term Loan to fund the acquisition of the Nugget, for the repayment of approximately $166.2 million outstanding under a prior credit facility and for related fees and expenses.

The Goldman Term Loan matures on April 1, 2029, and the Revolving Facility matures on April 1, 2027. The Revolving Facility includes up to $10.0 million available for the issuance of letters of credit. The Goldman Term Loan requires scheduled quarterly payments of $875,000 equal to 0.25% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Goldman Term Loan, with the balance due at maturity. The Company repurchased approximately $3.5 million principal amount of the Goldman Term Loan for 97% of its value in February 2024.

Borrowings under the Goldman Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Company's option, either (a) the Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the Goldman Credit Agreement), plus an applicable margin (each loan, being a "SOFR Loan"), or (b) the ABR (as defined in the Goldman Credit Agreement), plus an applicable margin (each loan, being an "ABR Loan"). The applicable margin for the Goldman Term Loan is 6.00% per annum with respect to SOFR Loans and 5.00% per annum with respect to ABR Loans. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the weighted average interest rates under the Goldman Term Loan were 10.48% and 11.45%, respectively. The applicable margin for loans under the Revolving Facility ("Revolving Loans") is (1) so long as the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Goldman Credit Agreement) of the Company is greater than 2.75 to 1.00, the applicable margin for Revolving Loans that are SOFR Loans will be 5.25% per annum, and for Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans will be 4.25% per annum; (2) so long as the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio of the Company is less than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00 but greater than 2.25 to 1.00, the applicable margin for Revolving Loans that are SOFR Loans will be 5.00% per annum, and for Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans will be 4.00% per annum; and (3) so long as the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio of the Company is less than or equal to 2.25 to 1.00, the applicable margin for Revolving Loans that are SOFR Loans will be 4.75% per annum, and for Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans will be 3.75% per annum.

In addition, on a quarterly basis, the Company is required to pay each lender under the Revolving Facility a commitment fee in respect of any unused commitments under the Revolving Facility at a per annum rate of 0.50% of the principal amount of unused commitments of such lender, subject to a stepdown to 0.375% based upon the Company's Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio. The Company is also required to pay letter of credit fees equal to the applicable margin then in effect for SOFR Loans that are Revolving Loans multiplied by the average daily maximum aggregate amount available to be drawn under all letters of credit, plus such letter of credit issuer's customary documentary and processing fees and charges and a fronting fee in an amount equal to 0.125% of the face amount of such letter of credit. The Company is also required to pay customary agency fees. Fees related to the Goldman Credit Agreement of $0.2 million and $0.1 million were recorded as interest expense in the consolidated statements of loss for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The Goldman Credit Agreement requires the Company to prepay the Goldman Term Loan, subject to certain exceptions, with:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 100% of the net cash proceeds of certain non-ordinary course asset sales or certain casualty events, subject to certain exceptions; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 50% of the Company's annual Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Goldman Credit Agreement) (which percentage will be reduced to 25% if the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio is greater than 2.25 to 1.00 but less than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00, and to 0% if the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 2.25 to 1.00).

The Goldman Credit Agreement provides that the Goldman Term Loan may be prepaid without a premium or penalties.

The borrowings under the Goldman Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the material subsidiaries of the Company, subject to certain exceptions (including the exclusion of the Company's non-domestic subsidiaries), and are secured by a pledge (and, with respect to real property, mortgage) of substantially all of the existing and future property and assets of the Company and the guarantors, subject to certain exceptions.

The Goldman Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative, negative and financial covenants, and events of default. All future borrowings under the Goldman Credit Agreement are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including the absence of a default and the accuracy of representations and warranties. If the Company has aggregate outstanding revolving loans, swingline loans and letters of credit greater than $10.5 million as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, it is required to maintain a Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio of 5.50 to 1.00 or less for such fiscal quarter. As of December 31, 2025, the Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio exceeded 5.50 to 1.00, but the Company had no outstanding revolving loans, swingline loans or letters of credit under the Goldman Credit Agreement.

Deferred financing costs consist of the Company's costs related to financings. Amortization expenses relating to the Goldman Credit Agreement were $2.7 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. These costs are included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of loss for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

**6. LONG-TERM FINANCING OBLIGATION** 

In December 2019, certain subsidiaries of the Company (collectively, the "Tenant") and certain subsidiaries of VICI PropCo (collectively, the "Landlord") entered into a sale and leaseback transaction in connection with the 2019 Acquisition and entered into the Master Lease to lease the real estate assets. See Note 1 for a list of the Company's subsidiaries under the Master Lease.

The Master Lease has been modified as follows:

On December 1, 2022, an amendment provided for (i) modifications with respect to certain project work to be done by the Company related to Century Casino Caruthersville, (ii) modifications to rent under the Master Lease to provide for an increase in initial annualized rent by approximately $4.2 million, the cash payments for which can be deferred for a period of 12 months after the completion of the project, and (iii) other related modifications. The Company elected to defer the cash payments related to the increase in initial annualized rent for 12 months, and the deferred rent is being paid over a six month period that began in December 2025.

On July 25, 2023, an amendment (i) added Rocky Gap to the Master Lease, (ii) increased initial annualized rent by approximately $15.5 million and (iii) extended the initial Master Lease term for 15 years from the date of the amendment (subject to the four existing five year renewal options).

On September 6, 2023, an amendment (i) added the Century Canadian Portfolio to the Master Lease, (ii) increased initial annualized rent by approximately CAD 17.3 million ($12.6 million based on the exchange rate on December 31, 2025) and (iii) extended the initial Master Lease term for all properties 15 years from the date of the amendment (subject to the four existing five year renewal options).

The Master Lease does not transfer control of the properties under the Master Lease to VICI PropCo subsidiaries. The Company accounts for the transaction as a failed sale-leaseback financing obligation. When cash proceeds are exchanged, a failed sale-leaseback financing obligation is equal to the proceeds received for the assets that are sold and then leased back. The value of the failed sale-leaseback financing obligations recognized in this transaction was determined to be the fair value of the leased real estate assets. In subsequent periods, a portion of the periodic payment under the Master Lease will be recognized as interest expense with the remainder of the payment reducing the failed sale-leaseback financing obligation using the effective interest method. The failed sale-leaseback obligations will not be reduced to less than the net book value of the leased real estate assets as of the end of the lease term.

-F21-

------

The fair values of the real estate assets and the related failed sale-leaseback financing obligation were estimated at lease inception based on the present value of the estimated future payments over the term plus renewal options of 35 years, using the imputed discount rate of approximately 8.9%. The value of the failed sale-leaseback financing obligation is dependent upon assumptions regarding the amount of the payments and the estimated discount rate of the payments required by a market participant.

The Master Lease provides for the lease of land, buildings, structures and other improvements on the land, easements and similar appurtenances to the land and improvements relating to the operations of the leased properties. The Master Lease has an initial term of 15 years with no purchase option. At the Company's option, the Master Lease may be extended for up to four, five year renewal terms beyond the initial 15 year term. The Company exercised one five year renewal option when the Master Lease was amended on December 1, 2022. The current lease term is through September 30, 2038. The renewal terms are effective as to all, but not less than all, of the properties then subject to the Master Lease. The Company does not have the ability to terminate its obligations under the Master Lease prior to its expiration without the Landlord's consent.

The Master Lease has a triple-net structure, which requires the Tenant to pay substantially all costs associated with the Company's properties that are subject to the Master Lease, including real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, maintenance and operating costs. The Master Lease contains certain covenants, including minimum capital improvement expenditures. The Company has provided a guarantee of the Tenant's obligations under the Master Lease.

The rent payable under the Master Lease currently escalates at the greater of either 1.0125% (the "Base Rent Escalator") or the increase in CPI. The CPI rent escalator for the Century Canadian Portfolio is capped at 2.5%. The Base Rent Escalator is subject to adjustment from and after the sixth year if the Minimum Rent Coverage (as defined in the Master Lease) is not satisfied. Cash rent payments under the Master Lease adjusted for CPI for the year ending December 31, 2026 are estimated to be $67.3 million.

The estimated future payments in the table below include payments and adjustments to reflect estimated payments as described in the Master Lease, including the minimum annual escalator of 1.0125%. The estimated future payments in the table below are not adjusted for increases based on the CPI.

Substantially all of the Company's contracts and contract liabilities have an original duration of one year or less. The Company applies the practical expedient for such contracts and does not consider the effects of the time value of money. Further, because of the short duration of these contracts, the Company applied the optional exemption and has not disclosed the transaction price for the remaining performance obligations as of the end of each reporting period or when the Company expects to recognize this revenue.

**8. LEASES**

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Right-of-use ("ROU") assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate in each of the jurisdictions in which its subsidiaries operate to calculate the present value of lease payments. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. These options are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise those options. Operating lease expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company accounts for lease agreements with lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for all asset classes. The Company does not establish ROU assets or lease liabilities for operating leases with terms of 12 months or less. The Company's operating and finance leases include land, casino space, corporate offices, and gaming and other equipment. The leases have remaining lease terms of one month to 47 years.

The components of lease expense were as follows:

| Short-term lease expense | $130 | $137 |
| Variable lease expense | $1593 | $1005 |

**11. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION**

Stockholders of the Company approved the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2016 Plan") at the 2016 annual meeting of stockholders. The 2016 Plan was amended and restated at the Company's 2024 annual meeting of stockholders. The 2016 Plan will expire in June 2034. The 2016 Plan provides for the grant of awards to eligible individuals in the form of stock, restricted stock, stock options, performance units or other stock-based awards, all as defined in the 2016 Plan. The 2016 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 5,930,400 shares of common stock to eligible individuals, including directors, through the various forms of permitted awards. The Company is not permitted to issue stock options at an exercise price lower than fair market value at the date of grant. All stock options are required to have an exercise period not to exceed ten years. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has granted 3,826,477 performance stock units ("PSUs"), restricted stock units ("RSUs") and stock options under the 2016 Plan. Any committee as delegated by the Board has the power and discretion to, among other things, prescribe the terms and conditions for the exercise of, or modification of, any outstanding awards in the event of merger, acquisition or any other form of acquisition other than a reorganization of the Company under the United States Bankruptcy Code or liquidation of the Company. The 2016 Plan also allows limited transferability of any stock options to legal entities that are 100% owned or controlled by the optionee or to the optionee's family trust.

***PSUs***

The PSUs vest subject to market and performance conditions. The conditions are weighted 25% based on market conditions and 75% based on performance conditions. Market conditions are based on the Company's total shareholder return ("TSR") relative to a select group of peer companies at the end of a three year performance period. Performance conditions are based on the Company's actual Adjusted EBITDAR over the three year performance period compared to forecasted Adjusted EBITDAR over the same period. Depending on the TSR and Adjusted EBITDAR at the end of the performance period, anywhere from 0% to 200% of the target grant may vest. Expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the performance period beginning on the date of grant. Probability is assessed quarterly on the performance conditions and compensation expense is adjusted accordingly. Actual forfeitures are recognized as they occur.

Activity in the Company's stock-based compensation plan for the PSUs was as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Target PSUs** | **Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value** |
| Nonvested at January 1, 2024 | 1056336 | $8.84 |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;Forfeited | (349829) | 10.01 |
| Nonvested at December 31, 2025 | 1413693 | $4.00 |

|:---|:---|:---|
| *<u>Assumptions for PSU Awards</u>* |  |  |
|  | **2025** | **2024** |

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)In 2024 and 2025, state taxes in Missouri comprised the majority of the state and local income taxes, net of federal effect category.

The Company's effective income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2025 was (5.4%). The federal corporate income tax rate in the United States for 2025 was 21%. The Company is also subject to Colorado, Missouri, West Virginia and Maryland state jurisdictions that had corporate tax rates ranging from 4.0% to 8.25% in 2025. The Company's foreign tax rate differential reflects the fact that the US federal corporate income tax rate differs from statutory rates in Poland, Austria, Mauritius and Canada, which are 19.0%, 23.0%, 17.0% and 23.0%, respectively. Further, the income tax burden on the earnings taxed to the non-controlling interest holders of Smooth Bourbon is not reported by the Company.

The Company continues to maintain valuation allowances on deferred tax assets for CMR, CRM and Century Resorts International, Ltd., as well as deferred tax assets in the US. The Company's valuation allowances increased by $15.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, which materially impacts the Company's effective tax rate.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") was enacted. The OBBBA extends and makes permanent several key provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 previously set to expire at the end of 2025. This new legislation also introduced modifications to international taxation. The OBBBA did not have a material impact on the Company's 2025 effective tax rate or income taxes paid. Management will continue to analyze and adjust future amounts as administrative guidance, regulations, and potential amendments and interpretations of the OBBBA occur.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company has accumulated undistributed earnings generated by its foreign subsidiaries that significantly exceed the approximately $36.7 million of cash and cash equivalents held by its foreign subsidiaries. Because substantially all of these accumulated undistributed earnings have previously been subject to the one-time transition tax on foreign earnings required by the Tax Act or have been subject to tax under the GILTI regime, any additional taxes due with respect to such earnings or the excess of the amount for financial reporting over the tax basis of the Company's foreign investments would generally be limited to foreign withholding and the tax effect of current gains or losses. Due to management's anticipation of repatriating certain current earnings from its foreign subsidiaries, the Company has recorded a deferred tax liability of $4.2 million for the foreign withholding tax required on a potential cash dividend to the US related to earnings from the sale and leaseback of the Company's Canadian properties in 2023, as well as current earnings from foreign subsidiaries. Absent a need for additional funds in the US, management intends to indefinitely reinvest the historical earnings in Canada and other foreign jurisdictions.

The Company has analyzed filing positions in all of the US federal, state and foreign jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. The Company has identified its US federal tax return, its state tax returns in Colorado, Missouri, West Virginia and Maryland and its foreign tax returns in Canada and Poland as "major" tax jurisdictions, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code.

The Company's income tax returns for the following periods are currently subject to examination:

The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits and penalties as income tax expense. Related to the unrecognized tax benefits above, the Company did not accrue any penalties and interest during 2025 and 2024.

**13. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS REPORTING**

**Fair Value Measurements**

The Company follows fair value measurement authoritative accounting guidance for all assets and liabilities measured at fair value. That authoritative accounting guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Market or observable inputs are the preferred sources of values, followed by assumptions based on hypothetical transactions in the absence of market inputs. The fair value hierarchy for grouping these assets and liabilities is based on the significance level of the following inputs:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 – quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable

Level 3 – significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable

-F32-

------

A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The Company reflects transfers between the three levels at the beginning of the reporting period in which the availability of observable inputs no longer justifies classification in the original level. There were no transfers between the three levels for the year ended December 31, 2025.

*Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements* 

The Company applies the provisions of the fair value measurement standard to its non-recurring, non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

*Debt –* The carrying value of the Goldman Credit Agreement approximates fair value based on variable interest paid on the obligations. The estimated fair values of the outstanding balance under the Goldman Credit Agreement is designated as Level 2 measurements in the fair value hierarchy based on quoted prices in active markets for similar liabilities. The carrying value of the CPL Credit Facility approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the agreement. The carrying value of the CPL Credit Agreement approximates fair value based on the recently negotiated terms. The carrying values of the Company's finance lease obligations approximate fair value based on the similar terms and conditions currently available to the Company in the marketplace for similar financings.

*Other Estimated Fair Value Measurements* – The estimated fair values of other assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, have been determined to approximate carrying value based on the short-term nature of those financial instruments. Cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, were $10.0 million and $25.0 million, respectively.

**14. SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION**

During the fourth quarter of 2025, due to changes in expected long-term future economic characteristics, the Company determined that the aggregation of operating segments within the United States reportable segment was no longer appropriate. As a result, the Company reorganized its reportable segments to provide greater specificity within the United States. Although the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows were not impacted, the Company has updated the segment disclosures for prior periods to reflect the new reporting structure.

The Company reports its financial performance in five reportable segments based on the geographical locations in which its casinos operate: United States – East ("US East"), United States – Midwest ("US Midwest"), United States – West ("US West"), Canada and Poland. The Company views each casino or other operation within those markets as a reporting unit. Reporting units are aggregated within operating and reportable segments based on their similar economic characteristics, types of customers, types of services and products provided, the regulatory environments in which they operate, and their management and reporting structure. All intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

The Company's chief operating decision maker is a management function comprised of two individuals. These two individuals are the Company's Co-Chief Executive Officers. The Company's chief operating decision makers and management utilize Adjusted EBITDAR as a primary profit measure for its reportable segments and is utilized by the chief operating decision makers as follows:

within the annual budget and forecasting process when making decisions about the allocation of operating and capital resources to each segment;

to evaluate monthly results compared to budget which are used in assessing segment performance;

to determine whether to invest in growth projects in the segment; and

to determine initiatives such as acquisitions or deleveraging.

## Exhibit 99.1

**EXHIBIT 99.1**

**Governmental Regulation and Licensing**

The ownership and operation of casino gaming facilities are subject to extensive state, local, foreign, provincial or federal regulations. We are required to obtain and maintain gaming licenses in each of the jurisdictions in which we conduct gaming operations. The limitation, conditioning, suspension, revocation or non-renewal of gaming licenses, or the failure to reauthorize gaming in certain jurisdictions, would materially adversely affect our gaming operations in that jurisdiction. In addition, changes in law that restrict or prohibit gaming operations in any jurisdiction could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Statutes and regulations can require us to meet various standards relating to, among other matters, business licenses, registration of employees, floor plans, background investigations of licensees and employees, historic preservation, building, fire and accessibility requirements, payment of gaming taxes, and regulations concerning equipment, machines, chips, gaming participants, and ownership interests. Civil and criminal penalties, including shutdowns or the loss of our ability to operate gaming facilities in a particular jurisdiction, can be assessed against us and/or our officers to the extent of their individual participation in, or association with, a violation of any of the state or local gaming statutes or regulations. Such laws and regulations apply in all jurisdictions in which we may do business. Management believes that we are in compliance with all applicable gaming and non-gaming regulations.

Our current renewal schedules are listed below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· West Virginia – every year;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Maryland – every 15 years, with the next renewal scheduled for 2028;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Colorado – every two years, with the next renewals scheduled for 202 7 at both properties;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Missouri – every four years , with the next renewal scheduled for 202 6 ;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Canada – every five years, with the next renewals scheduled for 20 31 at all properties; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Poland – every six years , with the next license expiring in September 20 28 .

In Poland, gaming licenses are granted for six-year periods and are not renewable. When a gaming license in Poland expires, any gaming company can apply for the license and there can be no guarantee that we will be granted a new license at our existing casinos.

**United States**

***Colorado***

The ownership and operation of gaming facilities in Colorado are subject to extensive state and local regulations. Licenses must be obtained from the Colorado Limited Gaming Control Commission (the "Gaming Commission") prior to offering limited gaming to the public in the State of Colorado. In addition, the Division of Gaming (the "DOG") within the Colorado Department of Revenue licenses, implements, regulates, and supervises the conduct of limited stakes gaming. The Director of the DOG, under the supervision of the Gaming Commission, has been granted broad powers to ensure compliance with the laws and regulations. The Gaming Commission, DOG and DOG Director are collectively referred to as the "Colorado Gaming Authorities."

The Gaming Commission is empowered to issue 11 types of licenses. In order to operate a casino, an operator is required to obtain a retail gaming license. Further, under Colorado gaming regulations, no person or entity can have an ownership interest in more than three retail licenses. We currently operate under the maximum of three retail gaming licenses in Colorado (Century Casino & Hotel in Cripple Creek operates under two gaming licenses). In addition, the Gaming Commission has broad discretion to revoke, suspend, condition, limit or restrict the licensee at any time.

Our Colorado casinos must meet specified architectural requirements and must not exceed specified gaming square footage limits as a total of each floor and the full building. Colorado casinos may operate 24-hours a day, and may permit only individuals 21 or older to gamble in the casino. Colorado law permits slot machines, video table games and live table games with no maximum single betting limits. Colorado casinos may not provide credit to gaming patrons.

------

The Colorado constitution permits a gaming tax of up to 40% on adjusted gross proceeds ("AGP"), and voter approval is required for any increase to this gaming tax rate. The current gaming tax in Colorado established by the Gaming Commission is a graduated rate of 0.25% to 20% on AGP, where casinos pay a higher percentage as their AGP increase.

Colorado law requires that every officer, director or stockholder holding a 5% or greater interest or controlling interest of a publicly traded corporation, or owner of an applicant or licensee, shall be a person of good moral character and submit to and pay the cost of a full background investigation conducted by the Gaming Commission. Persons found unsuitable by the Gaming Commission may be required to immediately terminate any interest in, association or agreement with, or relationship to, a gaming licensee. A finding of unsuitability with respect to any officer, director, employee, associate, lender or beneficial owner of a licensee or applicant may also jeopardize the licensee's retail license or applicant's license application. Licenses may, however, be conditioned upon termination of any relationship with unsuitable persons.

We may not issue any voting securities except in accordance with the provisions of the Colorado Limited Gaming Act (the "CLGA") and the regulations promulgated thereunder. The issuance of any voting securities in violation of the CLGA will be void, and the voting securities will be deemed not to be issued and outstanding. No voting securities may be transferred, except in accordance with the provisions of the CLGA and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Any transfer in violation of these provisions will be void. If the Gaming Commission at any time determines that a holder of our voting securities is unsuitable to hold the securities, then we may, within sixty (60) days after the finding of unsuitability, purchase the voting securities of the unsuitable person at the lesser of (a) the cash equivalent of such person's investment, or (b) the current market price as of the date of the finding of unsuitability, unless such voting securities are transferred to a suitable person within sixty (60) days after the finding of unsuitability. Until our voting securities are owned by persons found by the Gaming Commission to be suitable to own them, (a) we are not permitted to pay any dividends or interest with regard to the voting securities, (b) the holder of such voting securities will not be entitled to vote, and the voting securities will not for any purposes be included in the voting securities entitled to vote, and (c) we may not pay any remuneration in any form to the holder of the voting securities, except in exchange for the voting securities.

In November 2019, Colorado voters passed Proposition DD legalizing sports betting in Colorado. Sports betting began in May 2020. Only a limited number of master licenses to conduct sports betting are available, and only persons or entities such as our Company currently licensed to conduct limited gaming are eligible to hold the licenses. A master license entitles the licensee to contract with a licensed sports betting operator or internet sports betting operator, or both, for the operation of sports betting. The law allows licensees to offer mobile and online sports betting within the state borders. There is no betting limit on sports betting, and the operator sets betting amounts for each sporting event. We hold three retail gaming licenses in Colorado, and as a result we can hold three master licenses for sports betting in Colorado. We have agreements with one partner to offer sports betting through an online/mobile platform. The tax is 10% of the net proceeds of sports betting activity, which will fund implementation of the state water plan and other public purposes.

***Maryland***

The Maryland State Lottery Video Lottery Terminal Law ("Maryland VLT Law") subjects the owners and operators of video lottery facilities to extensive state licensing and regulatory requirements. Under the Maryland VLT Law, the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Commission ("MLGC"), in conjunction with the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Agency ("MLGCA"), maintains authority to regulate the operation of video lottery terminals and tables games within the State of Maryland, and to issue video lottery operation licenses to qualified applicants. The MLGC and MLGCA are collectively referred to as the "Maryland Gaming Authorities."

The Maryland Gaming Authorities have the authority to award up to six video lottery operation licenses within the State of Maryland. The video lottery operation license initial term is 15 years and may be renewed for an additional 15 year period.

Video lottery facilities are permitted to operate 24 hours a day, and patrons must be 21 years of age to wager. While alcohol may be offered in the video lottery facility, it may not be offered free of charge. The Maryland VLT Law and regulations also impose various restrictions on other transactions within the video lottery facility.

------

The Maryland Gaming Authorities have extensive authority to conduct background investigations and to determine whether applicants for a video lottery operation license, affiliated holding or intermediary companies, directors, officers, key management employees, principals, partners, and other persons or entities holding a five percent or greater interest in the applicant, are qualified under the Maryland VLT Law. The Maryland VLT Law provides that institutional investors may be exempt from certain regulatory requirements, and an Institutional Investor Waiver Application may be submitted for entities holding an interest in an applicant or licensee that are considered institutional investors. The term "institutional investor" generally includes insurance companies, banks and financial institutions, investment companies, trusts and advisors, pension funds, etc. The Maryland Gaming Authorities' decision concerning whether to grant a waiver is discretionary, and based on a variety of factors that include, but are not limited to, the institutional investor's securities, whether the investor is substantially involved in the video lottery operations of the licensee, and the investor's gaming licensure history in other jurisdictions.

After a video lottery operation license is awarded and/or issued, the Maryland Gaming Authorities have the responsibility for the continuing regulation and licensing of the licensee and its officers, directors, and other designated persons. The Maryland Gaming Authorities retain the authority to suspend, revoke or restrict a video lottery operation license, and may levy civil penalties for regulatory and other violations. The licensee's participation in video lottery and table game operations is expressly deemed a revocable privilege under the Maryland VLT Law, conditioned on the proper and continued qualification of the licensee and the licensee meeting reporting requirements and continuing to provide any assistance and information necessary to the Maryland regulators.

The regulations promulgated to implement the Maryland VLT Law impose detailed substantive and procedural requirements related to video lottery licensing and ongoing operations. The regulations include, but are not limited to, provisions concerning: licensing investigations and hearings; marketing controls and standards; internal control standards related to accounting, finance and statistics, audits, record retention, complimentaries, surveillance, security, cage and customer transactions, promotions, and other gaming related controls; facility design standards; table games surveillance; gaming floor plans; the transportation and testing of video lottery terminals and table games equipment; the registration of video lottery terminals and table games; voluntary and mandatory patron exclusion; responsible gaming; and junket enterprises and representatives. Applicants and licensees must also meet requirements concerning minority business participation and provide health insurance and retirement benefits for employees.

Generally, a video lottery operation license may not be transferred, assigned or pledged as collateral without approval from the Maryland Gaming Authorities. Specifically, a licensee cannot sell or transfer more than 5% of the legal or beneficial interests in the licensee unless the Maryland Gaming Authorities are notified and determines that the buyer or transferee meets all applicable qualification and regulatory requirements. If the licensee fails to meet these requirements, the applicable license will be automatically revoked 90 days after the transfer or sale. Entities and individuals are also prohibited from owning an interest in more than one video lottery facility, and any application to apply for an additional license must include a plan for divesting the applicable interest in the initial license.

***Missouri***

Operating a riverboat gaming facility and conducting gambling activities in Missouri are subject to extensive regulation under the Missouri Riverboat Gambling Act ("MRGA"). The Missouri Gaming Commission (the "MGC") is charged, under the MRGA, with regulatory authority over riverboat gaming operations in Missouri, including the issuance of gaming licenses to owners, operators, suppliers and certain affiliates of riverboat gaming facilities.

------

The MGC is empowered to issue six types of licenses: (i) Class A, (ii) Class B, (iii) supplier or temporary supplier, (iv) key business entity, (v) key person, and (vi) occupational. Our Missouri properties each hold a Class B license and Century Casinos, Inc. holds a Class A license. To be licensed, companies and key persons are required to complete an application comprised of comprehensive questions regarding the nature and suitability of the applicant. Applicants submitting a Riverboat Gaming Application requesting a Class A license, issued to the parent organization or controlling entity, or Class B license, issued to conduct gambling activities at a specific riverboat gaming operation, undergo an extensive background investigation by the MGC. In addition, each key person associated with, and certain key business entities closely related to, the applicant (including directors, officers, managers and owners of a significant direct or indirect interest in the Class A or Class B licensee) must also be licensed and undergo a substantial background investigation. An applicant for a Class A or Class B license will not receive a license if the applicant and its key persons, including key business entities, have not established good repute and moral character, and no licensee may either employ or contract with any person who has pled guilty to, or been convicted of, a felony, to perform any duties directly connected with the licensee's privileges under a license granted by the MGC. Every employee participating in a riverboat gaming operation must hold an occupational license. In addition, the MGC issues supplier's licenses, which authorize the supplier licensee to sell or lease gaming equipment and supplies to any licensee involved in the operation of gaming activities. Class A and Class B licensees may not be licensed as suppliers.

In determining whether to grant and allow the continued possession of a gaming license, the MGC considers the following factors, among others: (i) the integrity of the applicant; (ii) the types and variety of games the applicant may offer; (iii) the quality of the physical facility, together with improvements and equipment; (iv) the financial ability of the applicant to develop and operate the facility successfully; (v) the status of governmental actions required by the facility; (vi) the management ability of the applicant; (vii) compliance with applicable statutes, rules, charters and ordinances; (viii) the economic, ecological and social impact of the facility as well as the cost of public improvements; (ix) the extent of public support or opposition; (x) the plan adopted by the home dock city or county; and (xi) effects on competition.

Class A and Class B licenses must be renewed each year for the first two years followed by four-year terms. In conjunction with each renewal, the MGC may conduct an additional investigation of the licensee. The MGC also possesses the right to periodically conduct a comprehensive investigation on any licensee at any time following the date on which the last comprehensive investigation was conducted. The MGC also licenses the serving of alcoholic beverages on riverboats and related facilities operated by the Class A or Class B licensees.

A licensee is subject to the imposition of penalties, suspension or revocation of its license for any act that is injurious to the public health, safety, morals, good order and general welfare of the people of the State of Missouri, or that would discredit or tend to discredit the Missouri gaming industry or the State of Missouri, including without limitation: (i) failing to comply with or make provision for compliance with the MRGA, the rules promulgated thereunder or any related federal, state or local law or regulation; (ii) failing to comply with any rules, order or ruling of the MGC or its agents pertaining to gaming; (iii) receiving goods or services from a person or business entity who does not hold a supplier's license but who is required to hold such license by the MRGA or the rules; (iv) being suspended or ruled ineligible or having a license revoked or suspended in any state or gaming jurisdiction; (v) associating with, either socially or in business affairs, or employing persons of notorious or unsavory reputation or who have extensive police records, or who have failed to cooperate with any officially constituted investigatory or administrative body and would adversely affect public confidence and trust in gaming; (vi) employing in any Missouri gaming operation any person known to have been found guilty of cheating or using any improper device in connection with any gambling game; (vii) use of fraud, deception, misrepresentation or bribery in securing any license or permit issued pursuant to the MRGA; (viii) obtaining any fee, charge or other compensation by fraud, deception or misrepresentation; and (ix) incompetence, misconduct, gross negligence, fraud, misrepresentation or dishonesty in the performance of the functions or duties regulated by the MRGA.

------

Any transfer or issuance of ownership interests in a publicly held gaming licensee or its holding company that results in an entity or group of entities acting in concert owning, directly or indirectly, an aggregate ownership interest of 5% or more in the gaming licensee must be reported to the MGC within seven days. Further, any pledge or hypothecation of, or grant of a security interest in, 5% or more of the ownership interest in a publicly held gaming licensee or its holding company must be reported to the MGC within seven days. The MGC will impose certain licensing requirements upon a holder of an aggregate ownership interest of 5% or more in a publicly-traded Missouri Class A or Class B licensee, unless exemptions or waivers are obtained. No investor may increase holdings above 25% without triggering a change in control that requires prior approval by the MGC. In addition, any sale, transfer or lease of a Class B licensee's real estate (outside of the normal course of business) shall trigger a change in control that requires prior approval by the MGC.

Riverboat gaming activities may only be conducted on, or within 1,000 feet of the main channel of, the Missouri River or Mississippi River. Minimum and maximum wagers on games are set by the licensee, and wagering may be conducted only with a cashless wagering system. No person under the age of 21 is permitted to wager, and wagers may only be taken from a person present on a licensed excursion gambling boat.

The MRGA imposes a 21% wagering tax on adjusted gross receipts (generally defined as gross receipts less winnings paid) from gambling games. The tax imposed is to be paid by the licensee to the MGC within two business days after the day when the wagers were made. Of the proceeds of the wagering tax, 10% of such proceeds go to the local government where the home dock is located, and the remainder goes to the State of Missouri. The MRGA also requires that licensees pay a two dollar admission tax to the MGC for each person admitted to a gaming cruise and for every two hour cruise each person remains on a gaming cruise. One dollar of the admission fee goes to the State of Missouri, and one dollar goes to the home dock city in which the licensee operates.

In addition to all other regulations generally applicable to the gaming industry, our casinos are also subject to regulations applicable to barges, floating platforms and vessels operating on navigable waterways, including regulations of the U.S. Coast Guard, or alternative inspection requirements. These requirements set minimum standards for floating platform and hull integrity established through periodic inspections, including the physical inspection of the outside hull, and establish other mechanical and operations rules. In addition, the riverboat casinos may be subject to future U.S. Coast Guard regulations, or alternative security procedures, designed to increase homeland security, which could affect our property and require significant expenditures to bring our property into compliance.

In November 2024, Missouri voters approved Constitutional Amendment 2, legalizing regulated sports wagering in the State of Missouri. The MGC is responsible for licensing and regulating sports wagering activities, including retail and mobile platforms. The MGC may issue a limited number of licenses to qualified operators, including existing casino licensees, who must satisfy regulatory requirements, internal controls, and operational standards to conduct sports wagering in compliance with state law.

Our Company opened a retail sportsbook in Cape Girardeau and has partnered with BetMGM, LLC to offer online and mobile sports wagering within Missouri. Sports wagering launched statewide on December 1, 2025, and is available only to individuals 21 years of age or older. The MGC imposes a 10% tax on adjusted gross sports wagering revenue, with proceeds directed to regulatory administration, compulsive gambling prevention programs, and other public purposes. Licensed operators may offer wagering products through approved retail locations and authorized online/mobile platforms throughout the state.

***Nevada***

The ownership and operation of casino gaming facilities in the State of Nevada are subject to the Nevada Gaming Control Act (the "Nevada Act") and regulations promulgated under the Nevada Act and various local regulations. The Nevada Gaming Commission, Nevada Gaming Control Board and the City of Sparks, are collectively referred to as the "Nevada Gaming Authorities."

Business organizations that operate casinos in Nevada are required to be licensed by the Nevada Gaming Authorities. A gaming license requires the periodic payment of fees and taxes and is not transferable.

------

No person may become a more than 5% stockholder or holder of more than a 5% interest in a gaming licensee, or receive any percentage of profits therefrom, without first obtaining licenses and approvals from the Nevada Gaming Authorities along with all of the various registrations, approvals, permits and licenses required in order to continue gaming activities in Nevada.

The Nevada Gaming Authorities may investigate any individual who has a material relationship to, or material involvement with, the licensee in order to determine whether such individual is suitable or should be licensed as a business associate of a gaming licensee. Certain officers, directors, and certain key employees must file applications with the Nevada Gaming Authorities and may be required to be licensed or found suitable by the Nevada Gaming Authorities. The Nevada Gaming Authorities may deny an application for licensing for any cause which they deem reasonable. Changes in licensed positions must be reported to the Nevada Gaming Authorities within 30 days and, in addition to their authority to deny an application for a finding of suitability or licensure, the Nevada Gaming Authorities have jurisdiction to disapprove a change in a corporate position.

If the Nevada Gaming Authorities were to find an officer, director or key employee unsuitable for licensing or unsuitable to continue having a relationship with the licensee, the companies involved would have to sever all relationships with such person. In addition, the Nevada Gaming Authorities may require a licensee or any of its subsidiaries to terminate the employment of any person who refuses to file appropriate applications.

We are required to submit detailed financial and operating reports to the Nevada Gaming Authorities. Substantially all material loans, leases, sales of securities and similar financing transactions must be reported to, and/or approved by, the Nevada Gaming Authorities.

If it were determined that the Nevada Act was violated, the gaming licenses could be limited, conditioned, suspended or revoked, subject to compliance with certain statutory and regulatory procedures. In addition, the licensee and the persons involved could be subject to substantial fines for each separate violation of the Nevada Act or the regulations adopted thereunder at the discretion of the Nevada Gaming Authorities.

Any beneficial holder of our voting securities, regardless of the number of shares owned, may be required to file an application, be investigated, and have their suitability reviewed as a beneficial holder of our voting securities if the Nevada Gaming Authorities have reason to believe that such ownership would otherwise be inconsistent with the declared policies of the State of Nevada. Refusal to comply with such requirements can result in the person being found unsuitable to be involved with any licensed Nevada gaming operation including all businesses affiliated therewith.

The Nevada Act requires any person who acquires more than 5% of the voting securities of a publicly traded company registered with the Nevada Gaming Authorities to notify the Nevada Gaming Authorities. The Nevada Act requires that beneficial owners of more than 10% of the voting securities of a publicly traded company registered with the Nevada Gaming Authorities to apply for a finding of suitability within 30 days after the Chairman of the Nevada Gaming Control Board mails the written notice requiring such filing.

Any person who fails or refuses to apply for a finding of suitability or a license within 30 days after being ordered to do so by the Nevada Gaming Authorities or the Chairman of the Nevada Gaming Control Board, may be found unsuitable. The same restrictions apply to a record owner if the record owner, after request, fails to identify the beneficial owner. Any stockholder found unsuitable and who holds, directly or indirectly, any beneficial ownership of the common stock of a publicly traded company registered with the Nevada Gaming Authorities beyond such period of time as may be prescribed by the Nevada Gaming Authorities may be guilty of a criminal offense. Century Casinos, Inc. may also be subject to disciplinary action under certain circumstances. Further, the Nevada Gaming Authorities may, at their discretion, require the holder of any debt security of a licensee or any of its Nevada subsidiaries to file applications, be investigated and be found suitable to own the debt security of the issuer. If the Nevada Gaming Authorities determine that a person is unsuitable to own such security, then the licensee and its subsidiaries that are involved can be sanctioned, including the loss of approvals and licenses, under certain circumstances.

------

A public offering of securities is not allowed without the prior approval of the Nevada Gaming Authorities. Changes in control through merger, consolidation, stock or asset acquisitions, management or consulting agreements, or any act or conduct by a person whereby they obtain control, may not occur without the prior approval of the Nevada Gaming Authorities. Corporate acquisitions opposed by management, repurchases of securities and corporate defense tactics affecting licensees and publicly traded corporations require review and approval by the Nevada Gaming Authorities.

License fees and taxes are computed in various ways depending on the type of gaming or activity involved. Depending upon the particular fee or tax involved, these fees and taxes are payable monthly, quarterly or annually. An excise tax is also paid by casino operations upon admission to certain facilities offering live entertainment, including the selling of food, refreshment and merchandise in connection therewith.

A licensee that conducts gaming outside the state of Nevada is required to deposit and maintain with the Nevada Gaming Authorities a revolving fund to pay the expenses of investigation of their participation in such foreign gaming. Thereafter, licensees are required to comply with certain reporting requirements imposed by the Nevada Act. Licensees are also subject to disciplinary action by the Nevada Gaming Authorities if they knowingly violate any laws of the foreign jurisdiction pertaining to the foreign gaming operation, fail to conduct the foreign gaming operation in accordance with the standards of honesty and integrity required of Nevada gaming operations, engage in activities that are harmful to the State of Nevada or its ability to collect gaming taxes and fees, or employ a person in the foreign operation who has been denied a license or finding of suitability in Nevada on the ground of personal unsuitability.

The sale of food or alcoholic beverages at our Nevada casinos is subject to licensing, control and regulation by the applicable local authorities. All licenses are revocable and are not transferable. The agencies involved have full power to limit, condition, suspend or revoke any such license.

***West Virginia*** 

The operation and management of casinos and racetracks are subject to extensive regulation by the West Virginia Racing Commission (the "WVRC") and the West Virginia Lottery Commission (the "WVLC"). The racing and pari-mutuel wagering activities are licensed and regulated by the WVRC. Racetrack video lottery games and lottery racetrack table games are licensed and regulated by the WVLC. Holding a valid racing license is required in order to be issued and hold a racetrack video lottery license and a lottery racetrack table games license cannot be issued unless the applicant for the license holds a racetrack video lottery license.

*Horse Racing and Pari-Mutuel Wagering*

The WVRC is comprised of three members appointed by the Governor of West Virginia who regulate live racing, simulcast racing, televised racing and pari-mutuel wagering. Racing and pari-mutuel wagering are governed by the applicable West Virginia statutes and legislative rules promulgated by the WVRC. Licenses are renewed annually unless the WVRC rejects the application for renewal for good cause. As part of its application for renewal of its license, the licensee must disclose substantial information to the WVRC and notify the WVRC of changes in material information during the license year. The licensee pays an annual license tax as well as daily license taxes and pari-mutuel wagering taxes to the WVRC. Licenses are not transferable. The WVRC approves live racing days as well as simulcast and televised racing. The WVRC has broad powers to investigate, monitor and oversee all aspects of racing and pari-mutuel wagering.

All employees of a licensed racetrack, including but not limited to those engaged in racing and/or pari-mutuel wagering, must have permits issued by the WVRC before they engage in employment in any position, including a racing or pari-mutuel wagering occupation. The WVRC may suspend, revoke or not renew licenses and permits in the event the licensee or permit holder violates the racing statutes or rules promulgated by the WVRC. The WVRC may require fingerprints and background checks from all applicants for a permit as well as from officers, board members and key employees of the licensee.

------

Regulations governing our horse racing operations are generally administered separately from the regulations governing gaming operations, with separate licenses and license fee structures. The racing authorities responsible for regulating our racing operations have broad oversight authority, which may include: annually reviewing and granting racing licenses and racing dates; approving the opening and operation of off-track wagering facilities; approving simulcasting activities; licensing all officers, directors, racing officials and certain other employees of a racing licensee; and approving certain contracts entered into by a racing licensee affecting racing, pari-mutuel wagering, account wagering and off-track wagering operations.

We are subject to various federal, state and local environmental, health and safety laws and regulations that govern activities that may have adverse environmental effects. These laws and regulations are complex and frequently subject to change. Our horse racing facility is subject to laws and regulations that address the impacts of manure and wastewater generated by Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations ("CAFO") on water quality, including, but not limited to, storm water discharges. CAFO regulations include permit requirements and water quality discharge standards. Enforcement of CAFO regulations has been receiving increased governmental attention. Compliance with these and other environmental laws can, in some circumstances, require significant capital expenditures. We may be required to manage, abate, remove or contain manure and wastewater generated by CAFO due to our racetrack operations. Moreover, violations can result in significant fines or penalties and, in some instances, interruption or cessation of operations.

*Racetrack Video Lottery*

Racetrack video lottery is regulated by the WVLC, which is comprised of seven members appointed by the Governor of West Virginia, including the executive director of the WVLC (the "WV Executive Director"). The WVLC has promulgated rules approved by the West Virginia legislature under which racetrack video lottery games are played and conducted.

Under West Virginia law, a company's racetrack video lottery license is not transferrable. Additionally, the transfer of more than five percent of the equity interest, or voting interest, in the licensee must be approved by the WVLC before the transfer is finalized.

In order to lawfully conduct racetrack video lottery games, the licensee must maintain its racing license issued by the WVRC as well as its racetrack video lottery license. Only the holder of a racing license is authorized to hold a racetrack video lottery license. In applying for a racetrack video lottery license, the licensee must present WVLC evidence of agreements regarding the proceeds from racetrack video lottery terminals, between the licensee and the representative of a majority of the horse owners and trainers, the representative of a majority of the pari-mutuel clerks, and the representative of a majority of the breeders at the racetrack. The racetrack video lottery license is renewed annually and the licensee must disclose substantial information to the WVLC and notify the WVLC of changes in material information during the license year. Employees involved with racetrack video lottery gaming are also required to obtain and maintain a license from the WVLC prior to being involved in racetrack video lottery gaming. An application for a racetrack video lottery gaming employee license may be denied if the applicant has been convicted of certain offenses involving moral turpitude, illegal gambling, fraud or misrepresentation or if the person is not qualified for the position for which the application for a license is submitted.

The WVLC and the WV Executive Director have discretion to suspend, revoke or reconsider the application for the licensee's racetrack video lottery license. The racetrack video lottery license is subject to suspension, revocation or nonrenewal as provided for in the racetrack video lottery statutes and rules of the WVLC. Civil money penalties and criminal penalties may be imposed for certain violations of the lottery statutes and rules of the WVLC.

The WVLC and the WV Executive Director have broad powers under the racetrack video lottery statutes to investigate and monitor racetrack video lottery operations. All racetrack video lottery terminals in operation for play must be connected to the WVLC's computer system. The WV Executive Director and employees of the WVLC may at any time examine, inspect, test or access for any purposes all records, files, equipment, other documents, video lottery terminals, and hardware and software used in connection with video lottery. The WVLC also has the power and authority, for good cause and without notice or a warrant, at any time, to perform a wide range of inspections of the licensee.

------

Pursuant to the racetrack video lottery statutes, Mountaineer receives a commission equal to 46.5% of the net terminal income from the play of racetrack video lottery games. "Net terminal income" is generally defined as credits played less video lottery prize winnings, less an amount deducted by the WVLC to reimburse the WVLC for its actual costs for administering racetrack video lottery games at the licensed racetrack.

Additionally, the West Virginia legislature has established a fund for modernization of racetrack video lottery terminals into which the WVLC annually deposits a portion of the amount it retains for administration of racetrack video lottery games. A licensee may draw annually from its account matching dollars to help pay the expense of capital projects related to Gaming, Hospitality and Entertainment. For every two dollars a licensee spends on certain equipment, it is authorized to receive one dollar in recoupment from the fund. In the event there remains a balance unspent by a licensee at the end of the year, that amount may be carried forward for one year, after which such amount reverts to the West Virginia State Lottery Fund. The West Virginia Licensed Racetrack Modernization Fund is currently authorized to be funded through the fiscal year ending June 30, 2030.

*Lottery Racetrack Table Games*

Lottery racetrack table games are regulated by the WVLC. The WVLC has promulgated rules approved by the West Virginia legislature under which lottery racetrack table games are played. Under West Virginia law, a licensee's lottery racetrack table games license is not transferrable. Additionally, the transfer of more than five percent of the equity interest or voting interest in a licensee or any parent corporation or holding company must be approved by the WVLC before the transfer is finalized.

In order to lawfully conduct lottery racetrack table games, a licensee must maintain its racing license issued by the WVRC and its racetrack video lottery license issued by the WVLC as well as its lottery table games license. Only the holder of a racing license and a racetrack video lottery license is authorized to hold a lottery racetrack table games license. The lottery racetrack table games license is renewed annually and the licensee must disclose substantial information to the WVLC and notify the WVLC of changes in material information during the license year. Employees involved with lottery racetrack table games are also required to obtain and maintain a license from the WVLC prior to being involved in racetrack table gaming activity. An application for a lottery racetrack table gaming employee license may be denied if the applicant has been convicted of certain offenses involving moral turpitude, illegal gambling, fraud or misrepresentation or if the person is not qualified for the position for which the application for a license is submitted.

The WVLC and the WV Executive Director have the discretion to suspend, revoke or reconsider a licensee's lottery racetrack table games license. The license is subject to suspension, revocation or nonrenewal as provided for in the lottery racetrack table games statutes and rules of the WVLC. Civil money penalties and criminal penalties may be imposed for certain violations of the lottery statutes and rules of the WVLC. The license may also be revoked if any officer or director or any employee engaged in gaming activity, or any officer or director or key employee of any parent corporation or holding company, is convicted of criminal violations that may negatively impact the integrity of the West Virginia Lottery, or if any of them have experience, character or general fitness that the WV Executive Director believes would be inconsistent with the public interest, convenience or trust.

The WVLC and the WV Executive Director have broad powers under the lottery racetrack table game statutes to investigate and monitor racetrack table game operations. The WV Executive Director and employees of the WVLC may at any time examine, inspect, test or access for any purposes all records, files, equipment, and other documents used in connection with lottery racetrack tables games operation and play.

**Canada**

***Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission ("AGLC")***

Gaming in Alberta is governed by the provincial government. The AGLC administers and regulates the gaming industry in Alberta. The AGLC operates in accordance with the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Act, the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Regulation and the Criminal Code of Canada.

The AGLC requires all gaming operations to be licensed. Applicants for a gaming license must submit an application and run through a detailed approval process. The AGLC will also perform a market analysis for the area in which the proposed casino will be located. Following the approval of the board of the AGLC, the applicant may operate the casino applied for in accordance with federal and provincial legislation, regulation, and policies as well as the municipal requirements, permits, licenses and authorization relating to the casino. The AGLC monitors the casino operator and its compliance with all requirements. In the event of a violation of such requirements, civil and criminal charges can be assessed. The failure or inability of our casinos, or the failure or inability of others associated with these casinos, to maintain necessary gaming licenses or approvals for our casinos would have a material adverse effect on our operations in Alberta.

The AGLC allows casinos to operate slot machines and casino poker rooms up to 24 hours a day and table games a daily maximum of 17 consecutive hours commencing at 10:00 a.m. and ending no later than 3:00 a.m. Casinos and Racing and Entertainment Centers ("RECs") may permit only individuals 18 years of age or older to gamble in the casino. The AGLC permits slot machines, video lottery terminals, baccarat, blackjack, prop games, poker, craps and roulette. There is a maximum single bet of CAD 5,000 on table games and a maximum table aggregate bet of CAD 45,000 on baccarat. There is also a maximum denomination bet of CAD 5 for slot machines with a maximum single bet of CAD 250.

The AGLC provides casinos with slot machines, slot technicians and personnel to administer table games, cashier cages and currency counts. In return, casino licensees provide the AGLC with a place to operate slot machines, market the casinos, and provide table game dealers and pit staff, slot attendants, slot cage and count staff, security and surveillance. Casino licensees do not incur lease expenditures to the AGLC. In lieu of these lease expenses and other expenses associated with operating slot machines (i.e. equipment and personnel), casino licensees retain only a portion of net sales. Net sales, as defined by the AGLC, are calculated as cash played, less cash won, less the cost to lease the equipment, if applicable. At our Edmonton, St. Albert and Calgary casinos, the AGLC retains 85% of slot machine net sales, of which it allocates 15% to charities designated by the AGLC and 70% to the Alberta General Fund. On February 28, 2023, the AGLC approved a temporary increase in the amount of slot machine net sales casino and REC operators retain from 15% to 17% effective from April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2025. In December 2024, the temporary increase was extended through March 31, 2026, and in January 2026, was further extended through March 31, 2029. At Century Downs Racetrack and Casino ("Century Downs" or "CDR") and Century Mile Racetrack and Casino ("Century Mile" or "CMR"), the AGLC retains 35% of slot machine net sales, which are allocated to the Alberta General Revenue Fund. For all table games, excluding poker and craps, we are required to allocate 50% of our net win to a charity designated by the AGLC, with the exception of Century Casino St. Albert, from which we allocate 35% of our net win to a charity designated by the AGLC. For poker and craps, we are required to allocate 25% of our net win to the charity. We record our revenue net of the amounts retained by the AGLC or allocated to the AGLC-designated charity or the Alberta General Revenue Fund.

***Horse Racing Alberta ("HRA")*** 

HRA was formed in June 2002 to facilitate long term industry renewal for horse racing. The objectives of HRA are to govern, direct, control, regulate, manage, market and promote horse racing in any or all of its forms; to protect the health, safety and welfare of racehorses and, with respect to horse racing, the safety and welfare of racing participants and racing officials; and to safeguard the interest of the general public in horse racing.

------

HRA requires all horse racing operators to be licensed. A licensed operator is responsible for the general supervision of horse races at its facilities but must not interfere with the proper performance of the functions and responsibilities of racing officials. Only individuals 18 or older may place a bet on horse races. HRA also prohibits racing officials, HRA employees, jockeys, drivers of horses and any employee of any of them from betting on a race, encouraging others to bet on a race on their behalf or owning a pari-mutuel ticket. A licensed owner of a horse, its trainer and any authorized agent or employee of such owner or trainer may not bet or encourage others to place a bet on their behalf on a horse other than the horse owned or trained by such licensed owner or trainer.

A licensed operator must also provide and maintain a suitable racetrack, file with HRA a certificate of measurement of the track and provide services at race meetings, including first aid and ambulance facilities. HRA must approve the equipment, facility and any services the operator will provide. HRA also requires a licensed operator to establish and maintain complete records of each horse race conducted by the operator.

HRA's portion of slot machine net sales retained from Century Downs and Century Mile, which is currently 21.25%, is used to fund animal welfare programs, purses, breed improvement programs, marketing, administration and backstretch programs. For off-track betting and live racing wagers, CDR and CMR retain approximately 21.5% of each bet, from which they will distribute 5.4% to HRA and 0.8% to the Canadian Pari-Mutuel Agency and use the remainder to pay expenses related to the conduct of pari-mutuel wagering.

**Poland**

Gaming in Poland is governed by the Minister of Finance, who operates in accordance with Polish gaming law and has the authority to grant casino licenses. Polish gaming law was enacted in 1992. Key items included in Polish gaming law include the following requirements:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· S lot arcades and online gaming are operated through a state - run company ;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· A maximum of 70 slot machines are allowed per casino;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Licenses are not renewable, and licensees must reapply for a license once their current six - year license has expired;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The gaming tax rate assessed on gross gaming revenue is 50%; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Poker cash games are prohibited in Poland, except for authorized poker tournaments .

Casino licenses in Poland are currently limited to 52 and are subject to regional limitations. The number of casino licenses can be increased or decreased due to population increases or changes to the voivodships in Poland. Before a casino license expires, the Minister of Finance notifies the public of its availability, and those interested can submit an application for the casino license. Applicants for a gaming license must complete a detailed approval process. Following approval from the Minister of Finance, there is a period in which applicants can appeal the decision. Once the license is awarded, the applicant may operate the casino for six years. The Minister of Finance monitors the casino operator and its compliance with all requirements. In the event of a violation, the Minister of Finance can assess charges and, in certain cases, withdraw casino licenses.
