Company Information

Colorado Springs, Colorado, November 4, 2014 - Century Casinos, Inc. (NASDAQ
Capital Market®: CNTY) announced today that the company has acquired a 7.5%
stake in Mendoza Central Entretenimientos S.A. ("MCE") for USD 1 million and has
secured a three-year option to increase its stake in MCE to 50% at a price equal
to five times MCE's EBITDA, minus MCE's debt.

MCE has the exclusive long-term concession agreement with the Provincial
Institute of Gaming and Casinos of the Province of Mendoza to lease slot
machines and provide technical services to the Casino de Mendoza, which is owned
by the Province of Mendoza. Currently, MCE has placed 600 slot machines at the
Casino de Mendoza and, in return, receives 43% of the revenue generated by the
slot machines.

Century's partners in MCE are affiliates of Uno Medios, one of Argentina's
largest multimedia holding companies dedicated to Television, Radio, Graphic
Design, Cable TV, Internet, Advertising and Digital Media. Uno Medios was
founded in 1983, with the acquisition of Radio Nihuil Mendoza by the Vila
family.

MCE's goal is to grow in the land-based and on-line gaming industry in Argentina
as well as throughout Latin America and for this reason has chosen Century
Casinos as its strategic partner. Century and MCE have entered into a Consulting
Services Agreement, under which Century will assist MCE in various matters,
including but not limited to project assessment, compliance and operating
procedures, staff training and to provide general casino management know-how. In
return, Century will receive a fixed monthly consulting fee, plus a percentage
of MCE's EBITDA.

Argentina has an approximate population of 41 million, ca. 27.5 million internet
users, a rapidly increasing broadband penetration and is one of the largest
Spanish-speaking gaming markets in the world. Similar to the USA, there is no
standardized set of gaming legislation at the national/federal level, but the
Provinces have the authority to regulate and control gaming activities.
