Century Casinos, Inc. agreed to sell the racing and gaming operations of Century Mile Racetrack and Casino in Edmonton and Century Downs Racetrack and Casino in Calgary to Racing Entertainment Centre Holdings Inc., whose parent is Highfield Investment Group Inc., for approximately $16.4 million, subject to an adjustment based on the properties’ working capital at closing. The price represents a 6.1x multiple of FY 2025 EBITDA. Century Casinos owns 100% of Century Mile and a 75% interest in Century Downs; noncontrolling partners own the remaining 25%.
At closing, the properties are to be removed from the company’s triple-net master lease with subsidiaries of VICI Properties, and Highfield will become the tenant and be responsible for the associated rent obligations. Century Casinos’ annual rent will be reduced by approximately $7.5 million with the properties’ removal. The company intends to use the proceeds to reduce indebtedness. Closing is expected in the fourth quarter of 2026 or the first quarter of 2027, subject to gaming regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.
