RedChip Initiates Research on Century Casinos

ORLANDO, Fla., Dec. 27, 2007 -- RedChip Independent, a division of RedChip Companies, Inc., announced today that it has initiated research on Century Casinos, Inc. (NasdaqCM:CNTY).

Tony Telan, MBA, RedChip Research Analyst, wrote in the report:

“Through its diversified global portfolio of properties CNTY differentiates itself from the herd by focusing on smaller scale international opportunities, and by doing so it is well-positioned to hedge risk in the event of a downturn in any one particular market. We believe that as CNTY continues to add properties to its portfolio, the result will be improvements to both the top and bottom lines.”

“At a current price of $6.53, CNTY trades at a P/E (ttm) multiple of 19.6x, which is at an extreme discount to the industry average of 32.6x. Given CNTY’s growing and diversified portfolio, their unique business model, and strong growth prospects, we believe that it deserves a richer valuation; and, therefore, we give it a 'Buy' rating. We have established a 12-month price target of $9.00 based on 28.1x FY 2008 EPS of $0.32,” he concluded.
