Requests shall be directed to Century Casinos, Inc., 50 South Steele Street, Suite 755, Denver, Colorado 80209, Attention: Norbert Teufelberger, Secretary (telephone number (303) 388-5848). The information relating to the Company contained in this Prospectus does not purport to be comprehensive and should be read together with the information contained in the Incorporated Documents. THE COMPANY Century Casinos, Inc. (the "Company") was formed to acquire equity and other participation interests in, and to obtain management contracts with respect to, gaming establishments, with a primary focus on gaming markets in the United States. The Company, formerly known as Alpine Gaming, Inc. ("Alpine") is a result of a business combination completed on March 31, 1994, pursuant to which Century Casinos Management, Inc. ("Century Management") shareholders acquired approximately 76% of the then issued and outstanding voting stock of the Company and all officer and board positions of the Company were assumed by the management team of Century Management. Effective June 7, 1994 the Company reincorporated in Delaware under the name "Century Casinos, Inc." Because the Company is the result of the transaction discussed above, the Company's business has been combined with that of Century Management, and references herein to the Company refer to the combined entities, unless the context otherwise requires. The Company operates the Legends Casino and Womack's Saloon & Gaming Parlor ("Womack's") in Cripple Creek, Colorado and operates two small casinos on cruise ships. The Company has a casino management consulting agreement with a consortium of Greek firms and Playboy Enterprises, Inc. for a casino to be established on the island of Rhodes, Greece, and is pursuing other gaming opportunities in South Africa. The Company also has other potential gaming projects in the United States and internationally that are in various stages of development. On July 1, 1996, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets, and assumed substantially all of the liabilities, of Gold Creek Associates, L.P. ("Gold Creek"), the operator of Womack's in Cripple Creek, Colorado. Prior to the acquisition, the Company and its affiliates were not affiliated with Gold Creek or its affiliates. The total purchase price of the acquisition was approximately $13.5 million, consisting of a base cash payment of $5 million plus $320,000 for the amount of estimated working capital as of the closing date, a promissory note of $5.2 million issued to Gold Creek and the assumption of existing debt of Gold Creek of approximately $3 million. The promissory note issued to Gold Creek bears interest at 9% and provides for monthly payments of only interest for 18 months; thereafter, monthly principal payments of $43,121, plus interest on the unpaid principal, are required, with a final balloon principal payment of $2,328,000 due in July 2003. The note is secured by substantially all of the tangible assets purchased, subject to existing encumbrances, and the Company is required to meet certain financial covenants. Additionally, the agreement provides that on July 1, 1998, the Company will issue 1,060,000 shares of its common stock, valued at approximately $2 million based on recent trading prices, to two principals of Gold Creek who entered into consulting contracts with the Company at closing. In addition to the financing provided by Gold Creek, additional funds required to complete the acquisition were raised through private sales of common stock of the Company, with net proceeds of $4,552,000 from 4,072,233 shares sold. In connection with sales of common stock by a placement agent, the Company also issued warrants to such placement agent to purchase 150,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $2.36 per share. The warrants have a term of five years. In addition, the Company issued a $500,000 convertible debenture to a private investor. The debenture bears interest at 10.5%, payable quarterly. The holder has the option to convert the outstanding principal into the Company's common stock at $1.84 per share, subject to a minimum per conversion transaction of $50,000. The Company generally seeks to enter into gaming operations in areas with attractive demographic attributes, high population density, local tourism and/or predictable traffic patterns with a long-term objective of maintaining a policy of geographic diversification of its projects. The Company's primary economic analysis covers the potential market area surrounding a proposed gaming location, although it takes into consideration the economic conditions in any community in which it intends to establish a gaming facility, as many of the new gaming jurisdictions have approved gaming as a means to revitalize economies of local areas. Management believes that there are a significant number of gaming opportunities in the United States, as well as overseas, and the Company will have opportunities to acquire casino sites that have underperformed financially, although favorable outcomes to the Company of these opportunities cannot be assured. RISK FACTORS THE SHARES OFFERED HEREBY INVOLVE A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK, SHOULD BE CONSIDERED SPECULATIVE AND SHOULD NOT BE PURCHASED BY ANYONE WHO CANNOT AFFORD A COMPLETE LOSS OF THEIR INVESTMENT. PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS WITH RESPECT TO CENTURY. THE HEADINGS ARE NOT INTENDED TO DESCRIBE FULLY THE RISKS, BUT ARE INTENDED TO ALERT READERS TO THE GENERAL SUBJECT MATTERS OF THE RISKS DESCRIBED. Historical Operating Losses From June 1992 through December 31, 1994, the Company incurred net losses of approximately $3,784,000. The Company also incurred an operating loss for the year ended December 31, 1995 of approximately $2,606,000 although net income for the same period was approximately $612,000 primarily due to a $3,928,000 one-time gain recognized by the Company in consideration for the termination of its riverboat management agreement for a project in Louisiana. The Company incurred a net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 of approximately $380,000. In addition, the Company's most significant operating casino, Legends Casino, incurred significant losses until the Company management took over management of the casino. Upon assuming control of the Company in April 1994, management implemented a plan at Legends Casino which has resulted in positive cash flow and net income for the casino in 1996. Management believes that the recent acquisition of Womack's should enable the Company to achieve net income, although this result cannot be assured. Also, in connection with further expansion, the likelihood of the success of the Company must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with entry into untested gaming markets, purchasing and operating gaming establishments that did not succeed under prior operators and the competitive environment in which the Company operates or may operate. Competition There is intense competition among companies in the gaming industry generally, and many gaming operators have greater name recognition and financial and marketing resources than the Company. The Company competes with many established gaming operators in Cripple Creek, Colorado, and in other Colorado gaming venues. A number of these operators have greater financial, operational and personnel resources than the Company. Additional competition is expected to occur from the expansion or construction of other casino and hotel properties or the upgrading of other existing facilities in the Cripple Creek area. Management is aware of one new casino and hotel construction project underway at the entrance to Cripple Creek's main gaming thoroughfare which, if and when completed, is expected to be the largest gaming operation in Cripple Creek. Management has informally been apprised that this casino may open anytime between August and December of 1996. There can be no assurance that the number of casino and hotel operations will not exceed market demand or that additional hotel rooms or casino capacity will not adversely affect the operations of the Company. The Company faces competition from other gaming operators in obtaining available gaming licenses. The Company also competes, to some extent, with other forms of gaming on both a local and national level, including state-sponsored lotteries and on and off-track wagering, among others. The ability of the Company to maintain its competitive position will require the expenditure of sufficient funds for such items as updating slot machines and video devices to reflect changing technology, periodic refurbishing of gaming areas and public service areas and replacing obsolete equipment on an ongoing basis. There can be no assurance that the Company will generate sufficient internal funds or obtain sufficient external financing on acceptable terms to fund such expenditures. Dependence on Cripple Creek Market The Company's gaming revenues generated from operations in Cripple Creek, Colorado, comprise most of its total gaming revenues. If there is a downturn in gaming operations in Cripple Creek, the Company will be more adversely affected than if it had significant gaming operations in other gaming markets. Although the Company is seeking to diversify geographically, there can be no assurance that acceptable opportunities will be identified. Seasonality of the Cripple Creek Market Because Cripple Creek, Colorado is a mountain tourist town, its gaming market is subject to seasonal fluctuations. Typically, gaming revenues are greater in the summer tourist season and are lower from October through April. During the year ended December 31, 1995, the Colorado Division of Gaming reported that casino revenue and percentage of the year's total in Cripple Creek were as follows for quarters ended: March 31 - $19,790,000 (21.0%); June 30 - $23,303,000 (24.8%); September 30 - $28,218,000 (30.0%); and December 31 - $22,708,000 (24.1%). Seasonal fluctuations may be larger depending on inclement weather during the winter months. Potential Sales of Shares of Common Stock and the Effect Thereof In March 1995, the Company completed a private placement of 1,460,000 Units at $1.50 per Unit, each Unit consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock exercisable until December 31, 1999 at an exercise price of $2.50 per share. In addition, in January 1996 the Company completed a private placement of 1,000,000 shares of common stock at $1.50 per share. Both of these private placements were conducted under Regulation S adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Under Regulation S, the Company offered and sold the securities only outside of the United States to persons who were neither residents nor citizens of the United States. The shares in the 1995 private placement have been eligible for resale in the United States since May 1995. The shares in the January 1996 private placement became eligible for resale in the United States in March 1996. In addition, in June 1996 the Company completed a private placement under Regulation S of 2,851,400 shares of its common stock at approximately $1.17 per share, net of sales commissions. These shares became eligible for resale in the United States in late July 1996. The subsequent sale of shares of common stock by investors in these offerings (such shares generally may be freely resold after a 40-day holding period) into the public market could adversely affect the price of the common stock. In addition, the Company has a currently effective registration statement relating to the potential public offer and resale by current stockholders of up to 1,952,000 shares of common stock and 1,328,000 warrants to purchase a like number of shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.25 per share. Management estimates that approximately one-third of these securities have been resold under the registration statement. The public offer and resale of the remaining securities, as well as the potential for such resale, could adversely affect the price of the common stock. Adverse Impact on Net Results Due to Goodwill Amortization and Amortization of Deferred Debt Issuance Costs In March 1994, Century Casinos Management, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Century Management") acquired the Company, formerly known as Alpine Gaming, Inc. ("Alpine") in a "reverse triangular" merger, pursuant to which the former stockholders of Century Management received approximately 76% of the outstanding voting stock of Alpine. Shortly thereafter Alpine reincorporated in Delaware under the name "Century Casinos, Inc." The acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method of accounting. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of Alpine's assets before the acquisition, approximately $7,700,000, was allocated to goodwill. This goodwill is being amortized over a ten-year period, which results in an annual non-cash charge to operations of approximately $770,000. In addition, the Company has preliminarily estimated that the acquisition of Womack's will result in approximately $9,000,000 of goodwill to be amortized over a fifteen-year period, resulting in an annual non-cash charge to operations of approximately $600,000. The amortization of all of these amounts, although having no effect on future cash flows, will adversely impact the Company's earnings on a consolidated basis. Speculative Nature of Potential Gaming Projects In addition to its operating projects, the Company has a number of potential gaming projects in various stages of development. In addition to the capital needs of these potential projects (which may require outside financing), there are various other risks which could materially adversely affect a proposed project or eliminate its feasibility altogether. For example, in order to conduct gaming operations in most jurisdictions, the Company must first obtain gaming licenses or receive regulatory clearances. To date the Company has obtained gaming licenses or approval to operate gaming facilities in Colorado, Louisiana and from the National Indian Gaming Commission. While management believes that the Company is licensable in any jurisdiction, each licensing process is unique and requires a significant amount of funds and management time. The licensing process in any particular jurisdiction can take significant time as well as significant expense in terms of licensing fees, paying for background investigation costs, fees of counsel and other associated preparation costs. Moreover, should the Company proceed with a licensing approval process with industry partners, such industry partners will be subject to regulatory review as well. The Company seeks to satisfy itself that industry partners are licensable, but cannot assure that such partners will, in fact, be licensable. Additional risks before commencing operations include the time and expense incurred in unforeseen difficulties in obtaining suitable sites, adequate liability insurance, liquor licenses, building permits, materials, competent and able contractors, supplies, employees, gaming devices and related matters. In addition, certain licenses include competitive situations where, even if the Company is licensable, other factors such as the economic impact of gaming and financial and operational capabilities of competitors must be analyzed by regulatory authorities. These factors make it difficult to predict whether the Company will be granted gaming licenses in jurisdictions in which it may seek to operate. All of these risks should be viewed in light of the Company's limited staff and limited capital. Risks Associated With Expansion The Company may seek to expand its operations into additional jurisdictions where casino gaming is permitted or casino gaming is anticipated to be legalized. The Company's ability to expand to additional locations will depend upon a number of factors, including, but not limited to: (i) the identification and availability of suitable locations, and the negotiation of acceptable purchase, lease, joint venture or other terms; (ii) the securing of required state and local licenses, permits and approvals, which in some jurisdictions may be limited in number; (iii) political factors; (iv) the risks typically associated with any new construction; (v) the availability of adequate financing on acceptable terms; and (vi) for locations outside the United States, all the risks of foreign operations, including currency controls, unforeseen local regulations, political instability and other related risks. Certain jurisdictions issue licenses or approval for gaming operations by inviting proposals from all interested parties, which may increase competition for such licenses or approvals. In addition, certain jurisdictions require new gaming operations to be in the form of joint ventures with local participants and that the proposed operator provide evidence of ability to finance construction and start-up costs. The development of dockside and riverboat casinos may require approval from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and will be subject to significant Coast Guard regulations governing design and operation. Most of these factors are beyond the control of the Company. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to expand to additional locations or, if such expansion occurs, that it will be successful. Further, the Company anticipates that it will continue to expense certain costs, which were substantial in 1993, 1994 and 1995 and may continue to be substantial in the future, in connection with the pursuit of expansion opportunities, and may be required to write off any capitalized costs incurred in connection with these ventures. To the extent the Company's proposed or future expansion projects are successfully completed, the Company must manage its growth. In addition, the Company's ongoing operating strategies and entry into new markets will require the consideration of new marketing strategies to compete successfully. As a result, the Company has been and will be required to add and train personnel, continuously evaluate its management structure, expand its management information systems and control its operating expenses. If the Company is unable to manage growth effectively, its operating results could be adversely affected. Dependence on Key Persons; Control The future success of the Company is highly dependent upon the efforts of certain of its executive officers and directors. Loss of any such persons would likely have an adverse impact on the Company. The Company does not have employment contracts with any of these persons nor does the Company have any life insurance on any of the lives of any of its executive officers or directors. The officers and directors of the Company, who currently control, either directly or indirectly through proxies, approximately 23.0% of the Company common stock (which percentage assumes that all outstanding options of the Company exercisable within 60 days are exercised in full), will likely continue to have control over the election of the Board of Directors of the Company. This control will make it difficult, without the consent of such persons, for a third party to acquire control of the Company or to replace any member of the Board of Directors of the Company. As a practical matter, the directors of the Company have veto power over significant corporate transactions of the Company. Trading Market Presently, the Company common stock trades in the NASDAQ SmallCap Market under the trading symbol "CNTY." This market is an automated quotation market, and is characterized by small issuers and a lack of significant or orderly trading volumes. These factors could lead to volatility and thin trading of the the Company common stock. The Company's long-term goal is to list its common stock on the NASDAQ National Market, although this result cannot be assured because the Company presently does not meet several of the required criteria. The Company's common stock also began trading on the Berlin Stock Exchange in early 1996. No Dividends Management intends to use earnings of the Company to finance the growth of its business. Accordingly, while payment of dividends by the Company rests within the discretion of the Board of Directors, no dividends have been declared or paid by the Company, and it does not presently intend to pay dividends. There can be no assurance that dividends will ever be paid. Risk of Closure Due to Mechanical Failure and Severe Weather The operations of the Company are subject to risks, including closures due to casualty, mechanical failure, extended or extraordinary maintenance or severe weather conditions. Mechanical failures which could result in the temporary loss of service of all or portions of a gaming facility include loss of electrical power for lighting, heating through the loss of generators, transformers, HVAC equipment or the like. In addition, severe weather could result in road closures and reduce the number of persons traveling to Cripple Creek, Colorado, which would have a material adverse effect on the operating results of the Company. It is unlikely that the Company will be able to obtain business interruption coverage for casualties resulting from severe weather and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain casualty insurance coverage at affordable rates for casualties resulting from severe weather. Anti-Takeover Measures Effective June 7, 1994, the Company changed its corporate structure significantly. These changes included (i) reincorporation in Delaware under the name "Century Casinos, Inc.," (ii) increasing the authorized capitalization from 10,000,000 shares of common stock to 50,000,000 shares of common stock and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, (iii) inclusion of a fair price business combination provision in its Certificate of Incorporation requiring approval by holders of 80% of the outstanding shares of voting stock of certain business combinations and other transactions, (iv) allowing stockholders to require the Company to redeem their shares in the event 50% of the Company's voting stock is purchased by an interested stockholder, and (v) allowing the Company to redeem the shares of any stockholder if, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, any license or proposed license would be jeopardized by such person's stock ownership of the Company. These proposals, when viewed in the aggregate, will likely have a significant anti-takeover effect with respect to persons attempting to purchase the Company or combine the Company in a transaction with another entity without the approval of the Board of Directors, and could thereby adversely affect the prices of the Company's securities. Governmental Regulation The ownership and operation of casino gaming facilities are subject to extensive state and local regulations. Such regulations generally afford significant discretion to regulatory authorities in making licensing and suitability determinations. The Company is subject to extensive and detailed governmental regulation in the states of Colorado, Louisiana, Missouri and Nevada. In the event the Company expands its operations into other jurisdictions it will be subject to additional regulation, which will create further administrative burdens on the Company. Risk of Increases in Gaming Taxes Management believes that the prospect of significant tax revenue is one of the primary reasons that many jurisdictions in the United States have legalized gaming. As a result, gaming operators are typically subject to significant taxes and fees in addition to corporate income taxes, where applicable, and such taxes and fees are subject to increase at any time. Any material increase in these taxes or fees could adversely affect the Company. The Company pays and expects that it will pay substantial taxes and fees in Colorado and expects to pay substantial taxes and fees in any other jurisdiction in which the Company conducts gaming operations. Application of Environmental Regulations The Company is subject to a variety of federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. While management believes that the Company is presently in material compliance with all environmental laws and regulations, failure to comply with such laws could result in the imposition of severe penalties or restrictions on operations by government agencies or courts that could adversely affect operations. In addition, although management is not aware of any environmental contamination at its properties, it has not conducted environmental audits of all such properties. The Company does not have insurance to cover environmental liabilities, if any. Insurance Considerations The Company maintains a general liability and fire insurance at levels deemed reasonable by management; however, the Company cannot be certain that such insurance can be obtained on reasonable terms or in sufficient amounts in the future to cover significant liabilities which could be incurred through operations, accidents and losses outside the ordinary course of business.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION The shares offered hereby on behalf of the Selling Stockholders are to be sold from time to time by means of (i) ordinary brokers' transactions, (ii) block transactions in accordance with the rules of the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, (iii) purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resales by such broker or dealer for its account pursuant to this Prospectus, or (iv) a combination of any such methods of sale in each case at market prices. In connection therewith, distributors' or sellers' commissions may be paid or allowed which will not exceed those customary in the types of transactions involved. Commissions may also be received from purchasers for whom brokers or dealers act as agents. Such brokers or dealers and any other participating brokers or dealers may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES Securities The Company's Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Each record holder of common shares is entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters properly submitted to the stockholders for their vote. Holders of outstanding common shares are entitled to those dividends declared by the Board of Directors out of legally available funds, and, in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, holders are entitled to receive ratably the net assets of the Company available to the stockholders. Holders of outstanding common shares have no preemptive, conversion, or redemptive rights. All of the issued and outstanding common shares are, and all unissued securities when offered and sold shall be, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. To the extent that additional common shares of the Company are issued, the relative interest of then existing stockholders may be diluted. Company's Option to Repurchase Securities Article Fifteenth of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company provides that the Company may not issue any voting securities or other voting interests except in accordance with the provisions of the Colorado Limited Gaming Act and the regulations adopted thereunder or any other gaming law or the regulations adopted thereunder. If the Colorado Limited Gaming Control Commission or any other state gaming authority at any time determines that a holder of voting securities of the Company is unsuitable to hold such securities, then the Company may within 60 days after the finding of unsuitability purchase the voting securities at the lesser of (i) the cash equivalent of such person's investment in the Company, or (ii) the current market price as of the date of the finding of unsuitability, unless such voting securities are transferred to a suitable person within 60 days after the finding of unsuitability. Unsuitability includes prior convictions of various crimes, association with organized crime, drunk driving convictions, failure to pay taxes and other indicia of lack of moral character and financial integrity. In addition, shares of Common Stock of the Company are subject to redemption by the Company if in the judgment of the Board of Directors such action would be necessary to obtain a license or franchise or to prevent the loss or secure the reinstatement of any license or franchise of the Company from any governmental agency, and the license or franchise is conditioned upon some or all of the holders of the stock of the Company possessing prescribed qualifications. The terms and conditions of the redemption are as follows: The redemption price of the securities to be redeemed will be equal to the fair market value (as defined) of the shares. The redemption price may be paid in cash, redemption securities (as defined) or any combination thereof. At least 30 days' written notice of the redemption date must be given to the recordholders of the shares selected to be redeemed. The term "fair market value" means the average closing price for the 45 most recent days on which shares of stock traded preceding the date on which notice of a redemption is given. A "redemption security" means any debt or equity security of the Company having such terms and conditions as are approved by the Board of Directors. LEGAL MATTERS The legality of the common stock offered hereby is being passed upon by Jones & Keller, P.C., Denver, Colorado.

(B)Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus.

as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such informationeffective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement.

(2)For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
