COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., July 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Century Casinos, Inc. (the “Company” or “Century Casinos“) (Nasdaq Capital Market®: CNTY) announced today that Eric Rose, a long-term regional Vice President and General Manager of the Company, will take over the top leadership role at the Nugget Casino Resort (“Nugget”).

Eric Rose has been appointed Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Nugget, succeeding the previous general manager who is no longer with the Company.

Rose is a 32-year veteran in gaming and hospitality and previously served as Vice President of Operations in Colorado and General Manager of Century Casino Cripple Creek, Colorado. Rose’s career began in Stateline, Nevada, and has included leadership roles in food and beverage, marketing, and as General Manager in both Nevada and Colorado.

“We encountered a challenging first half of the year at the Nugget with lower-than-expected revenue,” Erwin Haitzmann and Peter Hoetzinger, Co-Chief Executive Officers of Century Casinos, remarked. “The Nugget has undergone right-sizing and cost-cutting initiatives. The property has also been further upgraded with investments in more than 120 new slot machines, a high-limit room, refreshes of two restaurants, a repaint of the exterior, exterior and interior signage and display packages. With the appointment of Eric Rose to the top leadership role, we are finalizing the transition, setting the Nugget up for future success,” they concluded.
