Trans World Corporation, a Nevada corporation, and Subsidiaries are primarily engaged in the gaming and hotel business in the Czech Republic (“CZ”).

 

The Company owns and operates three casinos in the CZ, all under the registered brand, American Chance Casinos (“ACC”). The Ceska casino (“Ceska”), located in the town of Ceska Kubice, in the western part of the CZ, close to the German border, currently has 15 gaming tables and 100 slot machines. The Route 55 casino (“Route 55”), located in Dolni Dvoriste, in the southern part of the CZ, close to the Austrian border, has 23 gaming tables and 130 slot machines. The Route 59 casino (“Route 59”), is located in Hate, near Znojmo, also in the southern part of the CZ, close to the Austrian border, and currently has 21 gaming tables and 120 slot machines.

 

In addition to the above gaming operations, TWC also owns and operates a 77-room, four-star deluxe hotel, the Hotel Savannah, which is physically connected to its Route 59 casino, and a full-service spa, the Spa at Savannah (the “Spa”), which is operated by an independent contractor and is attached to the hotel. The hotel features eight banquet halls for meetings and special events as well as a full-service restaurant and bar.

 

Effective November 28, 2013, in order to reflect the Company’s industry diversification, TWC renamed its primary Czech subsidiary, American Chance Casinos a.s. to Trans World Hotels & Entertainment, a.s. (“TWH&E”), while still operating its casinos under the ACC brand, without interruption.  Effective January 1, 2014, in the final stage of consolidation, the Trans World Hotels k.s. legal entity, which owns the Hotel Savannah & the Spa, was merged into TWH&E.
