The Company began operating the ship-based casinos onboard the Mein Schiff 5, a new 2,500 passenger cruise ship, and TUI Discovery, a 2,067 passenger cruise ship, during the second quarter of 2016, and in July 2016 began operating the ship-based casino onboard Glory Sea, a 1,200 passenger cruise ship that will operate in the China market. Under an amended concession agreement with TUI Cruises , the Company also plans to operate the ship-based casino onboard Mein Schiff 6, a new 2,500 passenger cruise ship that is expected to begin operati ng in the third quarter of 2017. In March 2015, the Company mutually agreed with Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (“Norwegian”) to terminate its concession agreements with Oceania Cruises (“Oceania”) and Regent Seven Seas Cruises (“Regent”), indirect subsidiaries of Norwegian, effective June 1, 2015 (the “Termination Agreement”). The Company transitioned operations of the eight ship-based casinos that it operated onboard Oceania and Regent vessels to Norwegian in the second quarter of 2015. As consideration for the early termination of the concession agreements, the Company received $4.0 million in June 2015 and recorded this on its condensed consolidated statement of earnings (loss) under operating revenue net of $0.6 million related to assets that were sold to Norwegian as part of the Termination Agreement. The Company also entered into a two -year consulting agreement, which became effective on June 1, 2015, under which the Company is providing limited consulting services for the ship-based casinos of Oceania and Regent in exchange for receiving a consulting fee of $2.0 million, which is payable $250,000 per quarter. · The Company has a long-term management agreement to direct the operation of the casino at the Hilton Aruba Caribbean Resort & Casino from which the Company receives a monthly management fee. · The Company, through its subsidiary CCE, has a 7.5% ownership interest in Mendoza Central Entretenimientos S.A., an Argentina company (“MCE”) .

In addition, CCE and MCE have entered into a c onsulting s ervices a greement pursuant to which CCE provides advice on casino matters and receives a service fee consisting of a fixed fee plus a percentage of MCE’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). See Note 4 for additional information related to MCE. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial reporting, the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission which apply to interim financial statements and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company have been included. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 201 5 . The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. Presentation of Foreign Currency Amounts The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar (“USD” or “$”). Foreign subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar translate assets and liabilities at current exchange rates at the end of the reporting periods, while income and expense accounts are translated at average exchange rates for the respective periods. The Company and its subsidiaries enter into various transactions made in currencies different from their functional currencies. These transactions are typically denom inated in the Canadian dollar (“ CAD ”) , Euro (“EUR”) and Polish zloty (“PLN”). Gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to these transactions are included in income from operations as they occur. The exchange rates to the U.S. dollar used to translate balances at the end of the reported periods are as follows: June 30, December 31, June 30, Ending Rates 2016 2015 2015 Canadian dollar (CAD) 1.3009 1.3840 1.2474 Euros (EUR) 0.9063 0.9209 0.8967 Polish zloty (PLN) 3.9625 3.9464 3.7550 The average exchange rates to the U.S. dollar used to translate balances during each reported period are as follows: For the three months For the six months ended June 30, ended June 30, Average Rates 2016 2015 % Change 2016 2015 % Change Canadian dollar (CAD) 1.2890 1.2302 (4.8%) 1.3311 1.2354 (7.7%) Euros (EUR) 0.8856 0.9041 2.0% 0.8961 0.8964 0.0% Polish zloty (PLN) 3.8726 3.6972 (4.7%) 3.9141 3.7104 (5.5%) Source: Pacific Exchange Rate Service Correction of Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 The Company identified errors within its statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The Company inadvertently failed to remove the effects of a portion of unpaid purchases of property and equipment from the change in accounts payable and purchases of property and equipment in the preparation of the statements of cash flows. This error resulted in the understatement of net cash provided by operating activities of $1.2 million and a corresponding understatement of net cash used in investing activities of $1.2 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The prior period amounts within the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 have been revised to reflect the correct balances.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements [Abstract]
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”). The objective of ASU 2014-09 is to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard under US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016; provided, however, that in August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date (“ASU 2015-14”), which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for one year. ASU 2015-14 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The standards permit retrospective application using either of the following methodologies: (i) restatement of each prior reporting period presented or (ii) recognition of a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of initial application. In addition, the FASB has issued four related ASUs on principal versus agent guidance (ASU 2016-08), identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance (ASU 2016-10), a revision of certain SEC Staff Observer comments (ASU 2016-11) and implementation guidance (ASU 2016-12). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting these ASUs, including the transition method to be applied; however, the standards are not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”). The objective of ASU 2014-15 is to provide guidance on management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. ASU 2014-15 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2016, and annual and interim periods thereafter. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2014-15; however, the standard is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (“ASU 2015-11”). The objective of ASU 2015-11 is to simplify the current guidance under which an entity must measure inventory at the lower of cost or market by requiring entities to measure most inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. ASU 2015-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of ASU 2015-11 is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2015-11; however, the standard is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments (“ASU 2015-16”). The objective of ASU 2015-16 is to simplify the accounting for measurement-period adjustments for acquisitions by eliminating the requirement to retrospectively adjust provisional amounts recognized in a business combination during the measurement period. ASU 2015-16 requires adjustments to the provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period to be recognized when they are identified. ASU 2015-16 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of ASU 2015-16 is permitted. ASU 2015-16 could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements if we close the Apex Acquisition (see Note 3). In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (“ASU 2015-17”). The objective of ASU 2015-17 is to simplify the presentation of deferred taxes in a classified statement of financial position. ASU 2015-17 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of ASU 2015-17 is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2015-17; however, the standard is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). The objective of ASU 2016-02 is to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of ASU 2016-02 is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-02. Adoption of this standard may have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”). The objective of ASU 2016-09 is to simplify the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including recording all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies through income tax on the statement of earnings and eliminating the requirement that excess tax benefits be realized before they can be recognized. ASU 2016-09 also simplifies several other aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payments, including forfeitures, statutory tax withholdings requirements and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of ASU 2016-09 is permitted.

Goodwill And Intangible Assets [Abstract]
Goodwill And Intangible Assets	5. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS Goodwill The Company test s goodwill for impairment as of October 1 each year, or more frequently as circumstances indicate it is necessary. Testing compares the estimated fair values of our reporting units to the reporting units’ carrying values. The reporting units with goodwill balances as of June 30, 2016 include the Edmonton casino property and the CDR and CPL operations. The Company consider s a variety of factors whe n estimating the fair value of its reporting units, including estimates about the future operating results of each reporting unit, multiples of earnings, various market analyses, and recent sales of comparable businesses, if such information is available. The Company makes a variety of estimates and judgments about the relevance and comparability of these factors to the reporting units in estimating their fair values. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, the fair value of each reporting unit is allocated to the reporting unit’s assets and liabilities to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill and whether impairment is necessary. There have been no indications of impairment at the Company’s Edmonton property, CDR or CPL since the Company’s last annual analysis that would necessitate additional impairment testing by the Company . Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill related to the Company’s Edmonton property, CDR and CPL are as follows: Canada Poland Amounts in thousands Edmonton Century Downs Casinos Poland Total Balance – December 31, 2015 $ 3,551 $ 137 $ 6,485 $ 10,173 Effect of foreign currency translation 227 8 (26) 209 Balance -- June 30, 2016 $ 3,778 $ 145 $ 6,459 $ 10,382 Intangible Assets Trademarks The Company currently owns two trademarks, the Century Casinos trademark and the Casinos Poland trademark, which are reported as intangible assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Rather, the Company tests its trademarks for impairment annually or more frequently as circumstances indicate it is necessary. The Company tests trademarks for impairment using the relief-from-royalty method. If the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, the Company would recognize an impairment charge equal to the difference. No impairment charges related to the Century Casinos and Casinos Poland trademarks have been recorded.

The weighted average period before the current casino licenses expire is 1.4 years . In Poland, gaming licenses are not renewed. Once a gaming license has expired, any gaming company can apply for the license. On July 7, 2016, the casino license at the Katowice casino expired. The Company has applied for the license and expects a decision in September 2016. Until the license is awarded, the casino operations at the Katowice casino have been moved to the Sosnowiec casino. If the license is not granted, the Company will continue operations at the Sosnowiec casino until its license expires in May 2017. The casino license at the Lim Center casino in Warsaw will expire in September 2016. The Company has appl ied for the license and expects a decision in September 2016. Century Downs Racetrack and Casino CDR currently has two licenses, one from the AGLC and one from HRA. The licenses are indefinite - lived intangible assets and therefore are not amortized . No impairment charges related to the CDR licenses have been recorded.

On August 15, 2014, the Company, through its Canadian subsidiaries, entered into an amended and restated BMO Credit Agreement that increased the Company’s borrowing capacity to CAD 39.1 million with an interest rate of BMO’s floating rate plus a margin on the debt that is not included in the interest rate swap agreements. As of June 30, 2016 , the Company had borrowed CAD 33.9 million, of which the outstanding balance was CAD 26.6 million ( $20.4 million based on the exchange rate in effect on June 30, 2016 ) and the Company had approximately CAD 5.2 million ( $4.0 million based on the exchange rate in effect on June 30, 2016 ) available under the BMO Credit Agreement. The outstanding borrowings cannot be re-borrowed once they are repaid. The Company has used borrowings under the BMO Credit Agreement primarily to repay the Company’s mortgage loan related to the Edmonton property, pay for the additional 33.3% investment in CPL and pay for development costs related to CDR . The Company can also use the proceeds to pursue the development or acquisition of new gaming opportunities and for general corporate purposes. Any funds not drawn down under the BMO Credit Agreement are subject to standby fees ranging from 0.50% to 0.75% payable quarterly in arrears. Standby fees of less than CAD 0.1 million (less than $0.1 million based on the exchange rate s in effect on June 30, 2016 and 2015) were recorded as general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statement s of earnings for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015 . The BMO Credit Agreement has a term of five years through August 2019 and is guaranteed by the Company. The shares of the Company’s subsidiaries in Edmonton and Calgary and the Company's 75% interest in CDR are pledged as collateral for the BMO Credit Agreement. The BMO Credit Agreement contains a number of financial covenants applicable to the Canadian subsidiaries, including covenants restricting their incurrence of additional debt, a debt to EBITDA ratio, a fixed charge coverage ratio, a requirement to maintain a CAD 28.0 million equity balance and a capital expenditure limit of CAD 2.0 million per year. The Company was in compliance with all covenants of the BMO Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2016 . In April 2015, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements to partially hedge the risk of future increases in the variable rate debt under the Company’s BMO Credit Agreement. The Company’s two interest rate swap agreements are set at a Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (“CDOR”) of 3.92% and 3.89% , respectively. The notional amount for each of the interest rate swap agreements wa s CAD 9.7 million ( $7.5 million based on the exchange rate in effect on June 30, 2016 ) . The interest rate swap agreements are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. As a result, changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps are recognized in interest expense on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement s of earnings. Deferred financing costs consist of the Company’s costs related to the financing of the BMO Credit Agreement. Amortization expenses relating to deferred financing charges were less than $0.1 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 201 5 . These costs are included in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings.

Prior to the Company’s acquisition of its ownership interest in CDR, CDR sold a portion of the land on which the REC project is located and then entered into an agreement to lease back a portion of the land sold . The Company accounts for the lease using the financing method by accounting for the land subject to lease as an asset and the lease payments as interest on the financing obligation. Under the land lease, CDR has four options to purchase the land. The first option date is July 1, 2023.

Commitments And Contingencies [Abstract]
Commitments And Contingencies	8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Litigation Casinos Poland In March 2011, the Polish Internal Revenue Service (“Polish IRS”) began conducting a series of tax audits of CPL to review the calculation and payment of personal income tax by CPL employees. Based on the March 2011 audit, the Polish IRS concluded that CPL should calculate, collect and remit to the Polish IRS personal income tax on tips received by CPL employees from casino customers . The Polish IRS has conducted tax audits for the periods from December 1, 2007 to December 31, 2008, January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2009 and January 1, 2011 to January 31, 2011. CPL has paid PLN 6.4 million ( $2.1 million) related to these audits. Following multiple appeals by CPL, the Supreme Administrative Court issued an oral decision in March 2016, which was confirmed in a written decision issued in May 2016, finding in favor of the Polish IRS for the tax periods of December 1, 2007 to December 31, 2008 and January 1, 2011 to January 31, 2011. In October 2015, the Voivodship Administrative Court found in favor of CPL for the tax period from January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2009 on procedural grounds that the prior tax proceedings were not conducted by the appropriate taxing authority. However, the court also found that CPL’s tax records for 2009 remain open for audit by a different tax authority. CPL appealed this decision to the Supreme Administrative Court in December 2015 and expects a decision in 2018. A tax audit was not conducted for the period from January 1, 2010 to November 30, 2010, and the statute of limitations has passed for an audit to be conducted. As a result, the Company adjusted its contingent liability to remove the estimated taxes accrued for the 2010 tax year. The adjustment reduced the contingent liability by PLN 3.4 million ( $0.9 million) in December 2015 and was recorded as gain on foreign currency transactions and other on the Company’s consolidated statement of earnings (loss) during the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2015. The balance of the potential liability on the Company ’s condensed consolidated balance sheet for all open periods as of June 30, 2016 is estimated at PLN 8.6 million ( $2.2 million based on the exchange rate in effect on June 30, 2016 ). The Company has evaluated the contingent liability recorded on its condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2016 and has concluded that it is properly accrued in light of the Company’s estimated obligation related to personal income tax on tips as of June 30, 2016. The decision rendered by the Supreme Administrative Court in March 2016 and other proceedings by the Polish IRS may expose the Company to additional employment tax obligations in the future. Any additional tax obligations are not probable or estimable and the Company has not recorded any additional obligation related to such taxes as of June 30, 2016. Additional tax obligations assessed in the future as a result of these matters, if any, may be material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. To address these issues, the Company expects changes to the payroll and withholding processes for Casinos Poland will be implemented in the third quarter of 2016. The Company anticipates payroll costs to increase by approximately PLN 5.0 million per year ( $1.3 million based on the exchange rate in effect on June 30, 2016). Distribution to Non-Controlling Interest Century Downs CDR has an agreement with its non-controlling shareholders to distribute any funds received by CDR related to infrastructure built during the development of the REC project. Following CCE’s conversion of CAD 11 million that it had loaned to CDR into an additional 60% ownership interest in CDR, all funds received related to the infrastructure are distributed to CDR’s non-controlling shareholders as stated in the Credit Agreement between CCE and CDR. T he Company distributed $0.5 million related to the infrastructure to CDR’s non-controlling shareholders in the second quarter of 2015 and $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2016 .

Income Taxes [Abstract]
Income Taxes	9. INCOME TAXES Income tax expense is recorded relative to the jurisdictions that recognize book earnings. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 , the Company recognized income tax expense of $1 . 6 million on pre-tax income of $ 8 . 1 million, representing an effective income tax rate of 19. 5 % compared to an income tax expense of less than $0. 1 million on pre-tax income of $ 9 . 1 million, representing an effective income tax rate of 0.3% for the same period in 201 5 . The difference between the income taxes expected at the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 34% and the reported income tax expense are impacted by a number of items. The Company’s effective tax rate is lower because there is a lower statutory tax rate in the countries where the Company pays taxes, such as Austria, Mauritius, Canada and Poland, when compared to the United States. T here is a lso a lower effective tax rate for the Company’s Canadian and Polish operations due to exchange rate benefits . The Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance on all of its U.S. deferred tax assets and on certain Canadian deferred tax assets.

Fair Value Measurements and Derivative Instruments Reporting [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements and Derivative Instruments Reporting	11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS REPORTING Fair Value Measurements The Company follows fair value measurement authoritative accounting guidance for all assets and liabilities measured at fair value. That authoritative accounting guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Market or observable inputs are the preferred sources of values, followed by assumptions based on hypothetical transactions in the absence of market inputs. The fair value hierarchy for grouping these assets and liabilities is based on the significance level of the following inputs: · Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities · Level 2 – quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable · Level 3 – significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The Company reflects transfers between the three levels at the beginning of the reporting period in which the availability of observable inputs no longer justifies classification in the original level. Recurring Fair Value Measurements The estimated fair value and basis of valuation of our financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows: Amounts in thousands June 30, 2016 December 31, 2015 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Interest rate swaps (1) $ 0 $ (237) $ 0 $ 0 $ (194) $ 0 (1) See “Derivative Instruments Reporting” below for detailed information regarding the Company's interest rate swap agreements. The Company determines the fair value of its interest rate swap agreements based on the notional amount of the swaps and the forward rate CAD-CDOR curve provided by Bloomberg and zero-coupon Canadian spot rates as of the valuation date. The Company classifies these instruments as Level 2 because the inputs into the valuation model can be corroborated utilizing observable benchmark market rates at commonly quoted intervals. Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements The Company applies the provision s of the fair value measurement standard to its non-recurring, non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value. There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 201 5 . Long-Term Debt – The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt approximates fair value because it bears interest at the lender’s variable rate for the debt related to the BMO Credit Agreement , the CPL credit agreements and CPL credit facility as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The estimated fair values of the outstanding balances under the BMO Credit Agreement and CPL debt are designated as Level 2 measurements in the fair value hierarchy due to quoted prices in active markets for similar liabilities. Other Estimated Fair Value Measurements – The estimated fair value of the Company’s other assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventory, accrued payroll and accounts payable , have been determined to approximate carrying value based on the short-term nature of those financial instruments. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 201 5 , the Company had no cash equivalents. Derivative Instruments Reporting As of April 2015, the Company began using interest rate swaps to mitigate the risk of variable interest rates under its BMO Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2016 , the Company had two interest rate swap agreements, each with a notional amount of CAD 9.7 million ($7.5 million based on the exchange rate in effect on June 30, 2016 ) at a fixed CDOR rate of 3.92% and 3.89% , respectively, which were not designated as accounting hedges. These interest rate swaps reset monthly and expire on August 15, 2019 . The difference to be paid or received under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements is accrued as interest rates change and recognized as an adjustment to interest expense for the related debt. Changes in the variable interest rates to be paid or received pursuant to the terms of the interest rate swap agreements are recognized in interest expense on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of earnings .

Segment Information [Abstract]
Segment Information	12. SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company reports its financial performance in three reportable segments based on the geographical locations in which its casinos operate: the United States, Canada and Poland. Operating segments are aggregated within reportable segments based on their similar characteristics, types of customers, types of services and products provided, the regulatory environments in which they operate, and their management and reporting structure. The Company’s casino properties provide gaming, hotel accommodations, dining facilities and other amenities to the Company’s customers. The Company’s operations related to concession, management and consulting agreements and certain other corporate and management operations have not been identified as separate reportable segments; therefore, these operations are included in Corporate and Other in the following segment disclosures to reconcile to consolidated results. All intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The table below provides information about the aggregation of the Company’s operating segments into reportable segments: Reportable Segment Operating Segment Canada Century Casino & Hotel - Edmonton Canada Century Casino Calgary Canada Century Downs Racetrack and Casino Canada Century Bets! United States Century Casino & Hotel – Central City United States Century Casino & Hotel – Cripple Creek Poland Casinos Poland Corporate and Other Cruise Ships & Other Corporate and Other Corporate Other The Company’s chief operating decision maker is a management function comprised of two individuals. These two individuals are our Co Chief Executive Officers. The Company’s chief operating decision makers and management utilize Adjusted EBITDA as a primary profit measure for its reportable segments. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-U.S. GAAP measure defined as net earnings (loss) before interest expense (income), net, income taxes (benefit), depreciation, amortization, non-controlling interest (earnings) losses and transactions, pre-opening expenses, acquisition costs, non-cash stock-based compensation charges, asset impairment costs, (gain) loss on disposition of fixed assets, discontinued operations, (gain) loss on foreign currency transactions and other, gain on business combination and certain other one-time items. Intercompany transactions consisting primarily of management and royalty fees and interest, along with their related tax effects, are excluded from the presentation of net earnings (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA reported for each segment. Non-cash stock-based compensation expense is presented under Corporate and Other in the tables below as the expense is not allocated to reportable segments when reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision makers. The following tables provide information regarding the Company’s segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015: For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 Amounts in thousands Canada United States Poland Corporate and Other Total Net operating revenue (1) $ 13,167 $ 7,703 $ 13,570 $ 761 $ 35,201 Net earnings (loss) attributable to Century Casinos, Inc. shareholders $ 1,948 $ 833 $ 678 $ (1,210) $ 2,249 Interest expense (income), net 784 0 8 (4) 788 Income taxes (benefit) 688 511 350 (562) 987 Depreciation and amortization 772 625 633 87 2,117 Non-controlling interest 1,736 0 341 0 2,077 Non-cash stock-based compensation 0 0 0 190 190 (Gain) loss on foreign currency transactions and other (1,524) 0 (22) (14) (1,560) Loss (gain) on disposition of fixed assets 18 1 (9) 0 10 Adjusted EBITDA $ 4,422 $ 1,970 $ 1,979 $ (1,513) $ 6,858 (1) Net operating revenue for Corporate and Other primarily relates to the Company’s cruise ship operations.
