Colorado Springs, Colorado, April 9, 2013 - Century Casinos, Inc.
(NASDAQ Capital Market® and Vienna Stock Exchange: CNTY) announced
today that its subsidiary Century Casinos Europe GmbH signed the
final share sale agreement with LOT Polish Airlines and closed on the
transaction to purchase an additional 33.3% ownership interest in
Casinos Poland Ltd ("CPL"). Century Casinos, Inc. now owns a 66.6%
ownership interest in CPL.

CPL is the owner and operator of eight casinos throughout Poland with
a total of 317 slot machines and 77 gaming tables. As of the nine
months ended September 30, 2012, CPL had a 43% share of the Polish
casino market and is currently participating in other pending license
applications.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, CPL recorded net operating
revenue of USD 44.0 million, EBITDA of USD 4.5 million and net income
of USD 1.3 million (all based on average PLN to USD exchange rates
for the same period).

"We are very pleased with the closing of this transaction, which
represents another milestone in our company's history by
significantly increasing our scale and diversity. We expect this
acquisition to be immediately accretive and are very excited about
the growth potential it brings for our company," said Erwin Haitzmann
and Peter Hoetzinger, Co Chief Executive Officers of Century Casinos.
"The "Casinos Poland" brand is exceptionally strong as demonstrated
by a market share that consistently has been between 40% and 50% in
recent years" they continued.

As of today, Century Casinos, Inc. will begin consolidating CPL as a
majority- owned subsidiary with a controlling financial interest. The
Company will account for and report the 33.3% owned by CPL's
co-shareholder, State-owned Polish Airports, as a non-controlling
financial interest. Consolidation of CPL will increase the Company's
overall net operating revenue and operating costs and expense; the
Company previously reported its interest in CPL under the equity
method.

The purchase price of the investment was approximately $6.8 million,
financed with borrowings under the Company's Bank of Montreal Credit
Agreement.
