At a time when many in the casino industry and on Wall Street are waxing cautious about the coming year, Century Casinos is upbeat. It recently forecast a 10 percent revenue upsurge for 2025. This confidence seems at least partly justified by new, Century-built product in certain of its markets, but there may be more to the story. And who better to ask than CEO Peter Hoetzinger?
Casino Life recently sat down with Hoetzinger, with the recent U.S. presidential election (which he discussed) fresh in mind. It’s a time of flux, not just politically but for Century itself, which has made significant capital-reinvestment commitments to its U.S. properties. It’s also ramping up in Canada and attempting to make a polite exit from Poland, although the market is making that difficult. (Yes, Hoetzinger very candidly explains that, too.)
