NOTES  TO  CONDENSED  CONSOLIDATED  FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS  (UNAUDITED)
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------

1.  DESCRIPTION  OF  BUSINESS  AND  BASIS  OF  PRESENTATION
    Century Casinos, Inc. and subsidiaries  (the  "Company") is an international
    gaming company which owns and operates a limited-stakes gaming casino in
    Cripple Creek,  Colorado,  manages  a  casino  within  a  hotel located in
    Prague, Czech Republic,  owns  50%  of,  is developing, and plans to manage
    a hotel and casino resort  in  Caledon, South Africa, and serves as
    concessionaire of small casinos on  luxury  cruise  vessels.  The  Company
    regularly  pursues additional gaming opportunities  internationally  and  in
    the  United  States.

    The  Company's  operations  in  Cripple  Creek, Colorado  began  with  the
    1994 acquisition  of  Legends Casino ("Legends"), followed by the 1996
    acquisition of Womack's  Saloon  &  Gaming Parlor ("Womacks"), which is
    immediately adjacent to Legends.  Following  the acquisition  of  Womacks,
    interior  renovations  were undertaken  on  both properties to facilitate
    the operation and marketing of the combined properties  as  one  casino
    under  the  name  Womacks/Legends Casino.

    In  July  1999, the Company began providing management services and leasing
    gaming  equipment  to  the  Casino Millennium, located in the five-star
    Marriott Hotel  in  Prague,  Czech Republic.  In January 2000, the Company
    entered into a memorandum  of  agreement  to  acquire  a  50%  ownership
    interest  in  Casino Millennium.

    In  April  2000,  the  Company's  South African subsidiary acquired a 50%
    equity interest  in  Caledon  Casino  Bid  Company (Pty) Limited ("CCBC").
    CCBC owns a 100-room  resort  hotel  and spa and approximately 600 acres of
    land in Caledon, South  Africa  and  was  recently awarded a casino license
    for the project.  The Company  has a long-term agreement to manage the
    operations of the casino, which are  expected  to  begin  in  the  fourth
    quarter  of  2000.

    In  May  2000,  the  Company  entered  into  a  five-year  agreement to
    serve as concessionaire  of small casinos providing unlimited-stakes gaming
    operations on four  luxury  cruise  vessels.  The Company will operate the
    casinos for its own account  and  pay  concession  fees  based  on passenger
    count and gross gaming revenue.  Operations  are  expected  to  begin late
    in the third quarter.  As of June  30, 2000, the Company has not recognized
    any earnings from this agreement.

    The  accompanying  consolidated financial statements and related notes have
    been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
    for interim financial  reporting  and  the  instructions  to  Form 10-QSB
    and Item 310(b) of Regulation  S-B.  Accordingly,  certain  information
    and  footnote  disclosures normally  included in financial statements
    prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have
    been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management,  all  adjustments
    (consisting  of  only  normal recurring accruals) considered  necessary
    for  fair  presentation of financial position, results of operations  and
    cash  flows  have  been  included. These condensed consolidated financial
    statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
    and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB
    for the Year  Ended  December  31,  1999.

4.  CALEDON,  SOUTH  AFRICA
    On  April  13,  2000, the Caledon Casino Bid Company (Pty) Limited ("CCBC")
    was  awarded a gaming license for a casino at a 100-room resort hotel and
    spa in Caledon,  province  of  the  Western Cape, South Africa.  On April
    17, 2000, the Company's  South  African  subsidiary, Century Casinos Africa
    (Pty) Ltd ("CCA"), acquired  a  50% equity interest in CCBC.  In March
    2000, in anticipation of the award  of  the  final  license,  the
    Company borrowed approximately $4.0 million under  its  revolving  credit
    facility and, in April 2000, the Company (through CCA)  made  its  equity
    investment of approximately $1,534,000 in and a loan of approximately
    $2,302,000  to  CCBC.  In  a  concurrent transaction, another 50% investor
    contributed and sold fixed assets to CCBC in exchange for a 50% equity
    investment  of  approximately

                                       10
<PAGE>

    $1,534,000  and  a  loan payable of approximately $2,302,000. The
    acquisition of CCBC  by the Company and the other investor has been recorded
    using the purchase method  of  accounting.

    In  April 2000, CCBC entered into a loan agreement with PSG Investment Bank
    Limited  ("PSGIB"),  which  agreement  provides  for  a  principal  loan of
    approximately  $6,200,000  to  fund  development  of  the  Caledon project
    and a working  capital facility of approximately $2,100,000.  CCBC is
    required to make principal  payments  beginning  January  2002  and
    continuing  over a five-year period.  Outstanding  borrowings  bear
    interest  at  the  bank's base rate plus 2.75-3.75%.  The  shareholders of
    CCBC have pledged all of the ordinary shares held  by  them in CCBC to PSGIB
    as collateral.  As of June 30, 2000, no advances have  been  made  against
    the  loan  agreement.

    In  December  1999,  the  Company entered into a ten-year casino management
    agreement with CCBC, which agreement may be extended at the Company's option
    for multiple  ten-year  periods.  The  Company  will  earn  management fees
    based on percentages of annual gaming revenue and earnings before interest,
    income taxes, depreciation,  amortization  and certain other costs.
    The casino is expected to open  in  the  fourth  quarter  of 2000 with
    approximately 250 slot machines and fourteen  gaming  tables. In addition
    to the casino license, hotel and spa, CCBC owns  approximately  600  acres
    of land, which is expected to be used for future expansion  of the project.

    The  Company  believes  it has a controlling financial interest in CCBC and
    has  thus  consolidated  the  financial statements of CCBC with CCA based
    on its interpretation of the provisions of EITF 97-2, Application of FASB
    Statement No. 94  and APB Opinion No. 16 to Physician Practice Management
    Entities and Certain Other  Entities  with  Contractual  Management
    Arrangements.

5.  PRAGUE,  CZECH  REPUBLIC
    In  January  2000,  the Company entered into a memorandum of agreement
    with B.H. Centrum  a.s.,  the  Company's  Czech  Republic  business
    partner  in  Casino Millennium,  located  in  Prague,  Czech  Republic.
    The memorandum of agreement provides  for the two parties to acquire the
    casino from third parties by either a  joint  acquisition  of Casino
    Millennium a.s. or the formation of a new joint venture.  The
    transaction, if completed, would result in the Company having a 50%
    equity interest in Casino Millennium.  Any funding required  by  the
    Company to consummate this transaction would be met through a
    combination  of existing liquidity and anticipated cash flow.

6.  REVOLVING  CREDIT  FACILITY
    On April 26, 2000, the Company and Wells Fargo Bank (the "Bank") entered
    into an Amended  and  Restated  Credit  Agreement  (the "Agreement") which
    increased the Company's  aggregate  borrowing  commitment  from  the  Bank
    to $26 million and extended the maturity date to April 2004.  The aggregate
    commitment available to the Company will be reduced quarterly by $722,000
    beginning October 2000 through the  maturity date.  Interest on the
    Agreement is variable based on the interest rate  option  selected  by  the
    Company, plus an applicable margin based on the Company's  leverage  ratio.
    The Agreement also requires a nonusage fee based on the  Company's leverage
    ratio  on  the  unused portion of the commitment.  The consolidated
    weighted average interest rate on all borrowings was 8.77% for the
    first  six  months  of  2000.

7.  CASINO  CONCESSION  AGREEMENT
    In  May  2000,  the Company entered into a five-year casino concession
    Agreement with  a  cruise  line  for  casino  operations  aboard four cruise
    vessels.  The Company  is  required  to  pay  a  fee  to  the  owner of the
    vessels based on a percentage  of gross gaming revenue, as defined, in
    excess of an established per passenger  per  day  amount.  The  agreement
    requires the Company to provide all necessary  gaming  equipment,  which
    management  estimates  will have a cost of approximately  $500,000.
    Operations  are  expected  to  begin late in the third quarter.

8.  SHAREHOLDERS'  EQUITY
    In  March 2000, the Company retired 1,385,000 shares of its common stock
    held in treasury.  During  the  second  quarter  of  2000,  the  Company
    repurchased, on the open market, an additional  283,000  shares of its
    common stock at an  average price per share of $1.76,  of  which  110,000
    shares were also retired during the second quarter of 2000.  The  Company
    held  173,000  shares  in  treasury  as of June 30,  2000.  Subsequent  to
    June 30, 2000, the Company purchased, on the open market, 77,500 additional
    shares of it  common  stock  at  an average  per  share  price  of  $1.91.

    In  February  and  April  2000, the Company granted options on 40,000 and
    20,000 shares,  respectively, of the Company's common stock.  The options
    have exercise prices  of $1.00 and $1.75 per share, respectively, and
    exercise periods of five years.

ITEM  2.    MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS

FORWARD-LOOKING  STATEMENTS,  BUSINESS  ENVIRONMENT  AND  RISK  FACTORS

Information  contained  in the following discussion of results of operations and
financial  condition  of  the Company contains forward-looking statements within
the  meaning  of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which can
be identified by the use of words such as "may," "will," "expect," "anticipate,"
"estimate,"  or "continue," or variations thereon or comparable terminology.  In
addition,  all statements other than statements of historical facts that address
activities,  events  or  developments  that  the  Company  expects,  believes or
anticipates,  will  or  may  occur  in  the  future, and other such matters, are
forward-looking  statements.

The  following  discussion  should  be  read  in  conjunction with the Company's
consolidated  financial  statements and related notes included elsewhere herein.
The  Company's  future  operating  results may be affected by various trends and
factors,  which  are  beyond  the Company's control.  These include, among other
factors,  the  competitive  environment  in  which  the  Company  operates,  the
Company's  present  dependence  upon  the Cripple Creek, Colorado gaming market,
changes  in the rates of gaming-specific taxes, shifting public attitudes toward
the  socioeconomic  costs  and benefits of gaming, actions of regulatory bodies,
dependence  upon  key  personnel,  the speculative nature of gaming projects the
Company  may  pursue,  risks  associated  with  expansion,  and  other uncertain
business  conditions  that  may  affect  the  Company's  business.

The  Company  cautions  the  reader that a number of important factors discussed
herein,  and in other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
could  affect  the  Company's  actual results and cause actual results to differ
materially  from  those  discussed  in  forward-looking  statements.

RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS

SIX  MONTHS  ENDED  JUNE  30,  2000  VS.  1999
- ----------------------------------------------
Net operating revenue for the first half of 2000 was $12.0 million compared with
$10.7 million for the same period in 1999, an increase of 12.1%.  Casino revenue
for Womacks/Legends Casino increased from $10.5 million in 1999 to $11.6 million
in  2000,  or 10.6%.  The increase was due to continuing efforts to optimize all
operational  aspects  of  the  casino.   The casino's share of the Cripple Creek
market was 18.1 % for the first half of 2000 compared with 18.5% a year earlier.
Womacks/Legends  Casino operated 15.1% of the slot machines in the Cripple Creek
market  and achieved an average daily win per machine of $104 versus the Cripple
Creek  average  of  $84.  Gross  margin  for  the  Company's  casino  activities
increased  to 61.5% from 58.2% a year earlier, due principally to more favorable
gaming  tax  rates  and  continued improvement in casino operating efficiencies.

Food  and  beverage  revenue increased by 29.3% to $543,000 in the first half of
2000  compared  with  $420,000  in  1999.  The  increase  is  principally due to
improvement  in  operations that started to take effect in the second quarter of
1999.  The  cost  of food and beverage promotional allowances, which is included
in  casino  costs,  decreased slightly to $408,000 compared with $421,000 in the
prior  year.  The  decrease in hotel revenue and associated costs is a result of
the  termination  of  a  hotel  marketing  agreement  in  late  1999.

General  and administrative expense as a percentage of net operating revenue was
31.7%  for the first half of 2000 compared with 27.5% in 1999.  The increase was
primarily  due  to  the  writeoff  of  a  noncompete  agreement  with  a  former
officer/director  in  March  2000 and bonuses paid to certain officers/directors
relating  to  the  final  payment  received in January 2000 from the sale of the
Company's  interest  in  the  Indiana  riverboat  gaming  license.

                                       13
<PAGE>

Depreciation  expense increased to $1.1 million in the 2000 period from $928,000
in 1999, primarily due to the addition of new machines at Womacks/Legends Casino
and  Casino  Millennium,  which opened in July 1999, and ongoing improvements to
Womacks/Legends Casino.  Amortization of goodwill remained unchanged at $671,000
for  both  periods.

Other  income, net, for the first half of 2000 consists of $1.4 million from the
final  payment  received in January by the Company from the sale of its interest
in  a  riverboat  gaming  license  in  Indiana,  offset by net interest costs of
$514,000.  Other expense, net, for the first half of 1999 primarily consisted of
net  interest  costs  $574,000.

The  income  tax provisions for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, are
based  on  estimated  full-year income for financial reporting purposes adjusted
for  permanent  book-tax  differences,  consisting  primarily  of  nondeductible
goodwill  amortization  resulting  from  the  Legends  acquisition.

LIQUIDITY  AND  CAPITAL  RESOURCES
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $3.5 million at June 30, 2000, and the Company
had  net  working capital of $1.7 million.  Additional liquidity may be provided
by  the Company's revolving credit facility ("RCF") with Wells Fargo Bank, under
which  the  Company had a total commitment of $26.0 million and unused borrowing
capacity  of  approximately  $12.1 million at June 30, 2000.  For the six months
ended  June  30,  2000,  cash  provided by operating activities was $1.5 million
compared  with  $1.4  million  in the prior-year period.  Cash used by investing
activities  of  $4.5 million for the first half of 2000 included $1.9 million in
capitalized  licensing  cost  related to the hotel and casino resort in Caledon,
South  Africa,  $2.0  million for the purchase of land for additional parking in
Cripple  Creek,  and  $1.8 million towards the construction of the Womacks Event
Center  and  the purchase of other fixed assets, offset by $1.4 million from the
sale  of  the  Company's  interest in an Indiana riverboat gaming license.  Cash
provided  by  financing  activities  for the first half of 2000 consisted of net
borrowings  of  $4.5  million  under  the  RCF  with  Wells Fargo, offset by the
repurchase  of  company's  stock, on the open market, with a cost of  $499,000.

Effective  April  26,  2000,  the  Company  and Wells Fargo Bank entered into an
amended  and restated credit agreement, which increased the borrowing commitment
as  of  that  date from $17.2 million to $26.0 million and extended the maturity
date  of  the RCF until April 2004.  The agreement provides for the availability
of funds, not to exceed a total of $10.5 million, for the Company's South Africa
and  Casino Millennium investments and repurchase of the Company's common stock.

The  Company  has  a  20-year  agreement  with  Casino  Millennium a.s., a Czech
company,  to  operate a casino in the five-star Marriott Hotel, in Prague, Czech
Republic.  The  hotel  and  casino  opened  in  July 1999.  The Company provides
casino  management  services  in  exchange for ten percent of the casino's gross
revenue and leases gaming equipment, with an original cost of approximately $1.3
million, to the casino for 45% of the casino's net profit.  In January 2000, the
Company  entered  into  a  memorandum  of  agreement with B. H. Centrum, a Czech
company  which  owns the hotel and casino facility, to acquire the operations of
the  casino  by  either  a  joint  acquisition  of Casino Millennium a.s. or the
formation  of  a  new joint venture.  The transaction, if completed, would
result in the Company  having  a  50%  equity interest in Casino Millennium.
Any  funding  required  by  the Company to consummate this transaction  would be
met  through  a  combination of RCF borrowings, existing liquidity  and
anticipated  cash  flow.

                                       14

On  April  13,  2000,  the Caledon Casino Bid Company (Pty) Limited ("CCBC") was
awarded  a  gaming  license  for  a casino at a 100-room resort hotel and spa in
Caledon,  province  of  the  Western Cape, South Africa.  On April 17, 2000, the
Company's  subsidiary,  Century Casinos Africa (Pty) Ltd ("CCA"), acquired a 50%
equity  interest  in  CCBC  by making an equity investment of approximately $1.5
million in and loans totaling approximately $2.3 million to CCBC with borrowings
obtained  under the Company's RCF.  The Company has a ten-year casino management
agreement with CCBC, which agreement may be extended at the Company's option for
multiple  ten-year  periods.  The  Company  will  earn  management fees based on
percentages of annual gaming revenue and earnings before interest, income taxes,
depreciation,  amortization  and certain other costs.  The casino is expected to
open  in  the  fourth  quarter  of 2000 with approximately 250 slot machines and
fourteen  gaming tables.  In addition to the casino license, hotel and spa, CCBC
owns  approximately  600  acres of land, which is expected to be used for future
expansion  of  the  Caledon  project.  In  April  2000, CCBC entered into a loan
agreement  with  PSG  Investment  Bank  Limited,  which agreement provides for a
principal  loan of approximately $6.2 million to fund development of the Caledon
project  and  a  working  capital facility of approximately $2.1 million.  As of
June  30,  2000,  no  advances  have  been  made  against  the  loan  agreement.

The Company is the contracted casino management partner with and owns a minority
equity  interest  in Silverstar Development Ltd. ("Silverstar").  Silverstar has
submitted  an  application  for  a  proposed  $70  million,  hotel/casino resort
development in the greater Johannesburg area of South Africa.  In the event that
Silverstar  is  awarded  a  license,  the  Company  would be required to make an
additional  equity  investment  of  approximately  $1.5  million.  This  funding
requirement would be met through borrowings under the RCF.  The Company has also
projected additional development costs of up to $500,000 which could be incurred
by the Company related to this project.  At the present time, however, there can
be  no  certainty regarding an award of this gaming license or that this license
will  ultimately  be  awarded  to  Silverstar.

In  May  2000,  the Company entered into a five-year casino concession agreement
with  a  cruise  line  for  casino  operations  aboard four cruise vessels.  The
Company  is  required  to  pay  a  fee  to  the  owner of the vessels based on a
percentage  of gross gaming revenue, as defined, in excess of an established per
passenger  per  day  amount.  The  agreement requires the Company to provide all
necessary  gaming  equipment,  which  the Company expects to purchase during the
second  half  of  2000  at  an  estimated  cost  of  approximately  $500,000.

The  Company's  Board  of  Directors  has  approved  a  discretionary program to
repurchase  up  to  $5  million  of the Company's outstanding common stock.  The
Board  believes that the Company's stock is undervalued in the trading market in
relation  to  both  its present operations and its future prospects.  During the
first  half  of  2000,  the  Company  purchased  283,000 additional shares at an
average  cost  per share of $1.76.  Beginning in 1998 and through June 30, 2000,
the  Company  has  repurchased  a  total  of 1,668,000 shares at a total cost of
approximately  $1,963,000.  In  July 2000, the Company repurchased an additional
77,500  shares  at  a total cost of approximately $148,000.  Management plans to
retire  all treasury shares on a periodic basis.  Management expects to continue
to  review  the  market  price  of  the Company's stock and repurchase shares as
appropriate,  with  funds coming from existing liquidity or borrowings under the
RCF.

Management  believes  that  the  Company's  cash and working capital at June 30,
2000,  together  with expected cash flows from operations and borrowing capacity
under  the RCF, will be sufficient to fund its anticipated capital expenditures,
pursue  additional business growth opportunities for the foreseeable future, and
satisfy  its  debt  repayment  obligations.

PART  II

OTHER  INFORMATION

Item   1. - Legal  Proceedings
            The  Company  is  not  a party to, nor is it aware of, any pending
            or threatened litigation  which, in management's opinion, could

            position  or  results  of  operations.

Item   4. - Submission  of  Matters  to  a  Vote  of  Security  Holders
            The  2000 annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company was
            held on June 15, 2000.  At  the  annual  meeting,  (i)  the two
            Class III directors to the Board, Erwin  Haitzmann  and  Gottfried
            Schellmann,  were  elected  to the Board for a three-year  term

            automatic triggering or implementation of the  rights  plan,  was

           reaches or exceeds R 47 500  000,00  (forty  seven  million  five
           hundred  thousand  Rand);  and/or
6.13.2     the  construction  period  has  expired  (so that, if on termination
           of the construction  period  Bidco  has not drawn-down the full
           amount of the principal loan,  PSGIB  shall  no longer be obliged to
           lend and advance the full amount of the  principal  loan  to  Bidco
           but shall be obliged, instead, only to lend and advance  to Bidco, on
           account of the principal loan, the amount which, on expiry of  the
           construction  period,  has  been  drawn-down by Bidco  together  with

           of Bidco as reflected in its audited  financial  statement  for
           its  first  financial  year  which commences immediately  after
           the  commencement  of  operations.

           from time to  time,  and  with effect from the date 1 (one) year
           after the commencement of operations,  maintain  the  following  2
           (two)  reserves  ~
7.2.1      a  debt  service reserve which shall, at all relevant times, be equal
           to at least the total of the next 1 (one) repayment to be made by it
           in respect of the principal loan and the next 1 (one) repayment to be
           made by it in respect of the working  capital  facility;
7.2.2      an  interest  reserve  which  shall,  at all relevant times, be equal
           to at least  the  aggregate  amount of the interest that will accrue
           in respect of the principal  loan for the next 6 (six) months and the
           interest that will accrue in respect of any amounts drawn-down by it
           against the working capital facility for the  next  6  (six)  months.
7.3        Subject  to  7.4  below,  Bidco  shall cause the amount of the debt
           service reserve  and  the interest reserve which it will be obliged
           to maintain in terms of  7.2  above,  to  be  deposited  in  an
           account maintained by it with a bank, registered  as such in terms of
           the Banks Act. The aforesaid account is referred to  herein  as the
           "RESERVE ACCOUNT" and Bidco shall, forthwith after it becomes
           obliged  to  establish the reserve account and to deposit funds into
           it, request PSGIB  to  advise  it  whether PSGIB wishes the reserve
           account to be maintained with  PSGIB.  PSGIB shall, within 2 (two)
           business days after receipt of Bidco's aforesaid request, in writing
           advise Bidco whether it wishes the reserve account to  be  opened
           with  PSGIB  or  not.  If  ~

           reasonably  deem  necessary  in  connection  therewith,  to give
           good, valid and sufficient  receipts  and  discharges  from  all
