Item 7.01     Regulation FD Disclosure.



On September 25, 2019, Century Casinos, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that the Company has received approval from the West Virginia Lottery Commission to acquire Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack and Resort (“Mountaineer”) from Eldorado Resorts, Inc. (“Eldorado Resorts”). In June 2019, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the operations of Mountaineer, Isle Casino Cape Girardeau, located in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, and Lady Luck Caruthersville, located in Caruthersville, Missouri, from Eldorado Resorts for approximately $107.0 million (the “Acquisition”). The transaction, which is expected to close in early 2020, is subject to approval of the Missouri Gaming Commission as well as other customary closing conditions. A copy of the press release is being furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report. 



The information in this Current Report and Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto (i) is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purpose of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and (ii) shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
