Deep Value: cash covers more than 100% of the stock price

This company holds roughly $60M in cash and investments — more than its entire stock-market value, based on its latest quarterly filing. You're paying very little for the actual business. Sometimes that's a genuine bargain or a takeover target, sometimes it's cheap for a reason. Not a buy signal on its own — always ask why it's this cheap.

Winston Score History

The full picture

Century Casinos, Inc. owns and operates casinos, hotels, and entertainment venues. Its customers are everyday gamblers and resort visitors looking for slot machines, table games, and hotel stays. The company runs properties across the United States, Canada, and Poland, making it a small but geographically spread casino operator.

Century Casinos makes money primarily from gaming revenue — the money players lose at slots and table games — plus hotel stays, food, and beverage sales. It is a smaller player in the casino industry, competing against much larger chains like MGM and Caesars, which limits its pricing power and ability to attract high-spending customers. The company has taken on significant debt to fund acquisitions, including its purchase of three casinos from Vici Properties, and managing that debt load while maintaining operations is the central financial challenge the business faces going forward.
