2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133" (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 requires companies to provide enhanced disclosures regarding derivative instruments and hedging activities. It requires companies to better convey the purpose of derivative use in terms of the risks that such company is intending to manage. Disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect a company's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows are required. This Statement retains the same scope as SFAS No. 133 and is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 161 to have a material impact, if any, on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. ACQUISITION

On March 12, 2007, CCE purchased G5 Sp. z o.o, a Polish entity that owns a 33.3% interest in Casinos Poland Ltd (“CPL”). The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed, other than intercompany debt, are reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

4. EQUITY INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARY

The Company has a 33.3% ownership interest in CPL, and the Company accounts for this investment under the equity method.

Following is the summarized unaudited financial information of CPL as of March 31, 2008:

Amounts in thousands	As of
	March 31, 2008
Balance Sheet:
Current assets	$	6,668

5. PROMOTIONAL ALLOWANCES

Hotel accommodations and food and beverage furnished without charge to customers is included in gross revenue at a value which approximates retail and is then deducted as complimentary services to arrive at net revenue.

The Company issues free play or coupons for the purpose of generating future revenue. Coupons are issued the month prior to when they can be redeemed and are valid for defined periods of time in the subsequent month. We expect the net win from a customer visit to be in excess of the value of the coupon utilized. The cost of the coupons redeemed is applied against the revenue generated on the day of the redemption.

Members of the Company’s casinos’ player clubs earn points based on their volume of play (typically as a percentage of coin-in) at certain of our casinos. Players can accumulate points over time that they may redeem at their discretion under the terms of the program. Points can be redeemed for cash and/or various amenities at the casino, such as meals, hotel stays and gift shop items. The cost of the points is offset against the revenue in the period that the revenue generated the points. The value of unused or unredeemed points is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The expiration of unused points results in a reduction of the liability.

Promotional allowances presented in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 include the following:

	For the three months ended March 31,
Amounts in thousands	2008		2007
Food & Beverage and Hotel	$	814	$	689
Free Plays or Coupons		810		788
Player Points		597		711
Total Promotional Allowances	$	2,221	$	2,188

6. INCOME TAXES

The Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of the recognition and measurement related to accounting for income taxes. The Company has analyzed filing positions in all of the federal, state and foreign jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized a $0.1 million liability for unrecognized tax liabilities related to tax positions taken in prior periods, which is recorded as a component of other long-term accrued liabilities. This increase was accounted for as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on January 1, 2007.

--10--

The income tax provisions are based on estimated full-year earnings for financial reporting purposes adjusted for permanent differences. The (benefit) provision for income tax expense consists of the following:

	For the three months ended March 31,
Amounts in thousands	2008			2007

8. SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

Beginning in the fourth quarter 2007, the Company modified its segment reporting from seven reportable segments to one reportable segment, as the Company now believes that its properties can be aggregated together in accordance with SFAS 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” Based on a review of SFAS 131, the Company has determined that it operates primarily in one segment, the operation of casino facilities, which includes the provision of gaming, hotel accommodations, dining facilities and other amenities. As a gaming company, the Company’s operating results are highly dependent on the volume of customers at its casinos. Most of the Company’s revenue is essentially cash-based, through customers wagering with cash or paying for non-gaming services with cash or credit cards. Prior period segments have been restated to conform to the current presentation.

9. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER MATTERS

Debt Covenants – The Company has met all covenant terms except the adjusted fixed charge coverage (“AFCC”) covenant related to its term loan at Central City, Colorado. The Company experienced a large cumulative loss at Central City in fiscal year 2007 related to several non-cash factors. On April 28, 2008, the Company received a written waiver from its lender related to this covenant in exchange for approximately $0.2 million. The AFCC ratio is Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or a variant thereof as defined in the loan agreement) divided by debt service costs (principal plus interest). The minimum AFCC ratio reduces until such time that there are four full trailing quarters with principal payments at the end of the third quarter. Based on a calendar year 2008 forecast that has been revised to account for the recent economic downturn, the Company expects to be in compliance with the AFCC covenant in subsequent periods.

These statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of the management of the Company based on information currently available to management. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

OVERVIEW

Since our inception, we have been primarily engaged in developing and operating gaming establishments and related lodging and restaurant facilities. Our primary source of revenue is from the net proceeds of our gaming machines and tables, with ancillary revenues generated from the hotel and restaurant facilities that are a part of the casinos.

We own, operate and manage the following casinos through either wholly-owned or majority-owned subsidiaries:

-	The Century Casino & Hotel in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada;

-	Womacks Casino & Hotel in Cripple Creek, Colorado;

-	The Century Casino & Hotel in Central City, Colorado;

-	The Caledon Hotel, Spa & Casino near Cape Town, South Africa;

-	The Century Casino & Hotel in Newcastle, South Africa; and

-	The Century Casino Millennium in the Marriott Hotel in Prague, Czech Republic.

We also operate casinos aboard the Silver Cloud, The World of ResidenSea, and the vessels of Oceania Cruises.

Furthermore, we own a 33.3% ownership interest in and actively participate in the management of Casinos Poland Ltd (“CPL”), the owner and operator of seven full casinos and one slot casino in Poland. At CPL, day to day decision making is controlled by a management board consisting of three persons. Long term decision making is controlled by a supervisory board consisting of three persons. As we are the only shareholder with experience in the gaming industry, we chair both the management board and the supervisory board. No material decisions can be made without our consent, including the removal of the chairman of each board. Based on this influence, management believes that it is appropriate to account for our investment in CPL as a component of our operations.

Our industry is capital intensive, and we rely heavily on the ability of our casinos to generate operating cash flow to repay debt financing, fund maintenance capital expenditures and provide excess cash for future development.

Beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007, we modified our segment reporting from seven reportable segments to one reportable segment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” (“SFAS 131”). Based on a review of SFAS 131, we have determined that we operate primarily in one segment, the operation of casino facilities, which includes the provision of gaming, hotel accommodations, dining facilities and other amenities. Prior period segments have been restated to conform to the current presentation.

As a gaming company, our operating results are highly dependent on the volume of customers at our casinos. Most of our revenue is essentially cash-based, through customers wagering with cash or paying for non-gaming services with cash or credit cards.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The decrease in net operating revenue from $21.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $21.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 is primarily the result of a decline in operations at our property in Cripple Creek, Colorado and a decline in the average exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and South African Rand, offset by increased revenues at our property in Edmonton. Further declines in the average exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and South African Rand may harm our South African results. The increase in operating costs and expenses from $18.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $19.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 are the result of an increase in general and administrative costs primarily related to the amortization of restricted stock, as well as an increase in overall depreciation charges resulting from gaming and non-gaming equipment additions in 2007.

--15--

The decrease in net earnings from $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 is primarily the result of the decline in overall operations and a decline in foreign currency gains recognized period over period of $0.6 million, offset by the recording of our share of earnings from our investment in Poland of $0.5 million and a decline in net interest charges of $0.2 million. We did not begin recording earnings from the investment in Poland until April 2007.

Revenue

Net operating revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,

Gaming revenue

Gaming revenue decreased by $0.6 million, or 2.8%, from $20.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $19.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Improved gaming revenue at our casino in Edmonton was offset by a decline in our Colorado operations.

Gaming revenue at the Century Casino & Hotel in Edmonton increased by $1.0 million, or 30.8%, from $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, primarily due to increased play at the casino resulting from more slot machines and increased traffic from the showroom, as well as an improvement in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar. Gaming revenue in Canadian dollars increased by CAD 0.5 million to CAD 4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. This increase is the result of an increase of 16% in slot revenue and 14% in table revenue. The Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission increased the number of slot machines at the casino from 600 as of March 31, 2007 to 650 as of March 31, 2008. In addition, we introduced 24-hour poker at the casino during the fourth quarter of 2007.

Gaming revenue at Womacks decreased by $1.1 million, or 24.5%, from $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Management believes that gaming revenue was negatively impacted by a 12.7% decline in the Cripple Creek gaming market, which is where Womacks is located, and can be attributed to a decline in consumer discretionary income, increased fuel prices and a smoking ban that went into effect on January 1, 2008. In addition, management believes that we lost a significant amount of our customer base due to a renovation that we began during the fourth quarter of 2007 and continued through the first quarter of 2008. We believe the renovation has upgraded the gaming floor and dining area, but may have inconvenienced customers which ultimately led to our decreased revenue. Womacks has continued the effort to improve the customer experience at Womacks by converting 100% of the total machines on the floor to Ticket in/Ticket (“TITO”) out devices. We are currently reviewing various strategies to increase gaming revenue at Womacks. Our market share of the Cripple Creek gaming revenue declined from 12.0% for the first quarter of 2007 to 10.8% for the first quarter of 2008.

--17--

Gaming revenue at the Century Casino and Hotel in Central City decreased by $0.3 million, or 4.4%, from $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Similar to the Cripple Creek market, management believes that gaming revenue was negatively impacted by a 9.3% decline in the Central City gaming market, which is where our casino is located, and can be attributed to a decline in consumer discretionary income, increased fuel prices and a smoking ban that went into effect on January 1, 2008. Our market share of the Central City gaming revenue increased from 26.8% for the first quarter of 2007 to 28.2% for the first quarter of 2008.

Gaming revenue at our casino in Caledon, South Africa decreased by $0.1 million, or by 2.7% from $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, due to the decline in the average exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the South African Rand. Gaming revenue in Rand increased by ZAR 0.3 million to ZAR 26.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. In May 2007, we increased the number of slot machines on the floor from 350 to 370. This resulted in a slight decline in our slot win per day of 3.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Our market share of the Western Cape gaming revenue declined from 4.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to 4.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The Western Cape operates with the maximum permitted number of casinos.

Gaming revenue at the Century Casino & Hotel in Newcastle, South Africa remained flat at $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008, a result of the decline in the average exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the South African Rand. Gaming revenue in Rand increased by ZAR 0.9 million to ZAR 17.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Our market share of the Kwazulu-Natal gaming revenue declined slightly from 3.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to 3.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

Combined gaming revenue at the Century Casino Millennium (Prague, Czech Republic) and aboard the cruise ships on which we operate decreased by $0.1 million, or 10.3%, from $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, primarily due to a decline in gaming revenue at the Century Casino Millennium resulting from a decline in patronage at the casino. In addition, our revenue related to these operations fluctuate significantly with the quality of their players. Century Casino Millennium derives the majority of its gaming revenue from live table games. The quality of the player has more of an impact on the live game results when compared to the income derived from slot machines.

Hotel, food and beverage revenue

Hotel, food and beverage revenue increased by $0.4 million, or 14.2%, from $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Our hotel in Edmonton did not open until March 2007. As a result, hotel, food and beverage revenue for Edmonton increased $0.3 million period over period.

Promotional allowances

Promotional allowances remained flat at $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008. Promotional allowances at Womacks increased $0.1 million, the direct result of the implementation of an automated dispensing system used to track beverages. This increase was offset by a decrease of $0.1 million in promotional allowances at our casino in Central City, the direct result of a decline in gaming revenue at the property. The retail value of accommodations, food and beverage, and other services furnished to guests without charge is included in gross revenue and then deducted as promotional allowances. As a result, promotional allowances neither increase nor decrease our overall net operating revenue.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Operating costs and expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2008		2007		Variance			Percentage Variance

Gaming	$	8,171	$	8,153	$	18			0.2	%
Hotel, food and beverage		2,558		2,571		(13	)		(0.5	%)
General and administrative		6,794		5,823		971			16.7	%

Total operating costs and expenses	$	19,788	$	18,566	$	1,222			6.6	%

Gaming expenses

Gaming expenses increased slightly from the three months ended March 31, 2007 to the three months ended March 31, 2008, primarily due to increased expenses at our casino in Edmonton that are directly related to increased gaming revenue which were offset by declines in gaming expenses at our remaining casinos.

Gaming expenses at the Century Casino & Hotel in Edmonton increased $0.4 million, or 25.1%, from $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. This increase is primarily due to a $0.2 million increase in payroll expense resulting from the introduction of 24-hour poker in the fourth quarter of 2007.

Gaming expenses at Womacks decreased $0.1 million, or 7.3%, from $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in 2008 is the result of a $0.1 million decrease in gaming taxes resulting from the decrease in gaming revenue. Womacks was not able to offset the decrease in revenue by decreasing variable expenses in the first quarter of 2008 but management has since reduced staff levels as part of a plan to bring expenses back in line with revenue levels. Management continues to evaluate various marketing strategies that are needed to attract customers back to the casino.

Gaming expenses at the Century Casino & Hotel in Newcastle decreased by $0.1 million, or 12.8%, from $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in gaming expenses is primarily the result of several small decreases in payroll expenses, marketing expenses and leased equipment.

Gaming expenses at our remaining properties remained flat for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008 as slight increases in payroll and slot conversion expenses were offset by decreases in marketing expenditures and gaming taxes.

Hotel, food and beverage expenses

Hotel, food and beverage expenses remained flat at $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, we were operating a dinner theater in Edmonton that was incurring significant costs. We closed the dinner theater in the second quarter of 2007, resulting in a decrease in overall hotel, food and beverage expenses at the casino. The facility has since been reopened as a showroom/conference center and now operates at improved cost levels.

--19--

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by $1.0 million, or 16.7%, from $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $6.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. General and administrative expenses at the properties include facility maintenance, utilities, property and liability insurance, property taxes, housekeeping, and all administrative departments, such as information technology, accounting, human resources and internal audit.

General and administrative expenses at the Century Casino & Hotel in Edmonton increased by $0.2 million, or 22.3%, from $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase is primarily the result of an increase in utility charges of $0.1 million and an increase in payroll expense of $0.1 million.

General and administrative expenses at Womacks decreased by $0.1 million, or 9.9%, from $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, primarily due to decreases in insurance charges.

General and administrative expenses at the Century Casino & Hotel in Central City, Colorado increased by $0.2 million, or 23.2%, from $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase is primarily the result of a $0.2 million increase in our property tax accrual.

General and administrative expenses at the Caledon remained flat for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008. Increases in payroll expenses resulting from additional wages at the casino and from corporate allocations offset decreases in professional fees.

General and administrative expenses at the Century Casino & Hotel in Newcastle, South Africa increased by $0.2 million, or 24.2%, from $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase is primarily the result of increases in payroll, professional fees and taxes.

Combined general and administrative expenses at the Century Casino Millennium and aboard the cruise ships remained flat for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008.

Corporate expenses increased by $0.4 million, or 30.0%, from $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase in 2008 is primarily due to a $0.4 million increase in payroll expense due to the amortization of costs associated with restricted stock and stock options issued in July 2007 and $0.1 million in increased legal, accounting and other professional fees.

At March 31, 2008, there was $2.8 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options and unvested restricted stock remaining to be recognized. Of this amount, $1.1 million will be recognized during 2008, and $1.7 million will be recognized in subsequent years through 2011.

Depreciation

Depreciation expense increased by $0.3 million, or 12.2%, from $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This increase in depreciation expense is primarily due to $1.6 million of gaming equipment and non-gaming equipment additions during 2007. These assets are depreciated over periods varying from three to seven years.

Non-operating income (expense)

Non-operating income (expense) for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2008			2007			Variance			Percentage Variance

Interest income	$	69		$	274		$	(205	)		(74.8	%)
Interest expense		(1,573	)		(1,932	)		359			(18.6	%)

Non-operating expense	$	(1,319	)	$	(830	)	$	(489	)		58.9	%

Interest income

Interest income is directly related to the cash reserves we have on hand. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, these cash reserves included amounts raised from a stock offering in 2005 and the exercise of stock options that were deposited in interest-bearing accounts. During 2007, we repaid approximately $12.7 million of principal towards our loan associated with our casino in Central City, Colorado. This decrease in available cash, combined with a decrease in interest rates that we earn on our deposits, contributed to the overall decline in interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Interest expense

Interest expense decreased $0.3 million, or 18.6%, from $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. This is primarily due to a decrease in interest rates and a decrease in our average debt balance from $72.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $60.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Our weighted average interest rate, excluding the impact of the amortization of deferred financing charges and a one-time charge for the three months ended March 31, 2008 of $0.2 million for a waiver related to a financial covenant towards our Central City debt, was 8.4% and 10.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Gain of foreign currency transactions and other

We recognized foreign currency gains of $0.2 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, resulting from the exchange of currency. We have outstanding cash denominated in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars, Euros and South African Rand.

Other Items

Earnings from equity investment

On March 12, 2007, we completed the acquisition of G5 Sp. z o.o. (“G5”). G5 owns 33.3% of all shares issued by CPL. Our portion of CPL’s earnings are recorded as earnings from equity investment. We began reporting our share of CPL’s earnings in April 2007. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, we recorded $0.5 million of earnings from our investment in CPL.

--21--

Taxes

Our effective tax rate was -111.7% and 18.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The mix of domestic losses and foreign earnings significantly impacts our rate. The tax benefit received on losses incurred by our U.S. domestic entities is significantly higher than the tax on income at our foreign operations, particularly in South Africa and Mauritius. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, we incurred pre-tax losses for our U.S. based operations (including corporate losses) of $2.8 million compared to pre-tax earnings at our remaining operations of $3.2 million. Our taxes are further adjusted for non-deductible permanent differences.

Minority interest in subsidiary earnings and losses

For the three months ended March 31, 2008. we allocated earnings of $0.1 million to various parties who hold a minority interest in our properties. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, we allocated losses of $0.3 million to these parties. For the 2007 period, we allocated approximately $0.5 million in losses to a former partner at our Central City casino. On December 31, 2007, we purchased this partner’s interest in the casino. As a result, we now retain all the earnings and losses for the casino in Central City.

Preference dividends issued by subsidiary

Preference shareholders of our subsidiary, Century Casinos Caledon (Pty) Ltd., are entitled to per share dividends of 0.009% of the annual gross gambling revenue of the Caledon, Hotel, Spa & Casino after the deduction of gaming taxes and value added tax. Dividends issued by Caledon to preference shareholders decreased by $0.2 million, or 75.8%, from $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The dividends issued for the three months ended March 31, 2007 included a one time dividend payment of $0.2 million to a preference shareholder who exchanged its original preference shares for a new class of preference shares.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $13.1 million at March 31, 2008, and the Company had negative working capital (current assets minus current liabilities) of $6.6 million compared to cash and cash equivalents of $17.9 million and negative working capital of $2.8 million at December 31, 2007.

We use the cash flows that we generate to fund reinvestment in existing properties for both refurbishment and expansion projects and to pursue additional growth opportunities via new development opportunities. When necessary, we supplement the cash flows generated by our operations with either cash on hand or funds provided by financing activities.

For the three months ended March 31, 2008, $2.5 million of net cash was provided by operating activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, $0.7 million of net cash was used in operating activities. The change from the 2007 period relates primarily to changes in working capital items, which can vary from period to period based on the timing of cash receipts and payments, offset by cash generated from operations. For a description of the operating activities of the Company, please refer to the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and management’s discussion of the results of operations.

Cash used in investing activities of $1.0 million for the first three months of 2008 consisted of $0.4 million in capital project additions at Womacks; $0.1 million of furniture and non-gaming equipment additions in Edmonton; $0.5 million in capital project additions at Caledon; and $0.2 million of cumulative additions at our other remaining properties. These cash payments were offset by $0.2 million received from the disposition of assets.

--22--

Cash used in investing activities of $3.6 million for the first three months of 2007 consisted of $2.0 million towards the acquisition of G5; $0.1 million in property and equipment additions at Womacks; $0.4 million towards construction in Edmonton; $0.2 million in gaming equipment additions in Central City; $0.8 million towards property improvements and furniture and fixtures in Newcastle; and $0.3 million of cumulative additions at our other remaining properties. These cash payments were offset by the release of $0.2 million of restricted cash in Edmonton.

Cash used in financing activities of $5.4 million for the first three months of 2008 consisted of repayments of $0.6 million towards the Central City term loan; repayment of $0.4 million towards the Edmonton term loan; net repayments of $4.2 million towards the Womacks revolving credit facility; net repayments of $0.6 million towards our South African debt; and other debt repayments of $0.2 million. These repayments were offset by $0.6 million of proceeds from stock option exercises.

Cash used in financing activities of $12.6 million for the first three months of 2007 consisted of net repayments of $12.0 million towards the Central City term loan; net repayments of $0.8 million towards the Womacks revolving credit facility; and net repayments of $0.8 million towards our South African debt. These repayments were offset by borrowings of $0.9 million under the loan agreement for the Edmonton property and $0.2 million of proceeds and tax benefits from stock option exercises.

Common Stock Repurchase Program

Since 2000, we have had a discretionary program to repurchase up to $5.0 million of our outstanding common stock. We did not purchase any shares of our common stock on the open market during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. The total remaining authorization under the repurchase program was $1.2 million as of March 31, 2008. The repurchase program has no set expiration or termination date.

Sources of Liquidity

In addition to our cash on hand, additional liquidity at Womacks may be provided by our revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank (“Wells Fargo”), under which we currently have a total available commitment of $10.0 million and no unused borrowing capacity, based on Womacks’ current EBITDA, at March 31, 2008. The borrowing capacity on Womacks’ revolving credit facility is re-measured at the end of each quarter. Management believes that it is unlikely we will have any significant capacity in 2008. The maturity date of the borrowing commitment is December 2009. Borrowings under the credit facility may be used for capital expenditures and working capital at Cripple Creek and corporate headquarters. Womacks is also permitted to make cash distributions to us up to the amount of our capital contributions subject to a limitation based on Womacks’ current EBITDA.

Additional liquidity for our Central City property may be provided by our $2.5 million revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo. The revolving line of credit matures on November 21, 2011. Availability under the line of credit is conditional upon CC Tollgate LLC’s compliance with all of the financial and other covenants contained in the loan agreement at the time of a particular drawdown, and our continued ability to make certain representations and warranties. For the quarter ended March 31, 2008, we have met all covenant terms related to this loan agreement except the adjusted fixed charge coverage (“AFCC”) covenant. On April 28, 2008, we received a written waiver from our lender related to this covenant in exchange for approximately $0.2 million. Based on a calendar year 2008 forecast that has been revised to account for the recent economic downturn, we expect to be in compliance with the AFCC covenant in subsequent periods.

We are currently reviewing strategies to reduce our overall interest charges. This includes, but is not limited to, the refinancing of some or all of our outstanding debt. The Company is also negotiating a revolving credit facility with a South African bank as a means of providing additional liquidity.

Short-Term Liquidity and Capital Requirements

We expect that the primary source of our future operating cash flows will be from gaming operations. Expected short-term uses of cash include ordinary operations, foreign income tax payments, and interest and principal payments on outstanding debt.

We believe that our cash at March 31, 2008, together with expected cash flows from operations, will be sufficient to fund our anticipated operating costs and capital expenditures at existing properties and to satisfy our current debt repayment obligations. We will continue to evaluate our planned capital expenditures at each of our existing locations in light of the operating performance of the facilities at such locations. From time to time we expect to have cash needs for the development of new properties or expansion of existing properties that exceed our current borrowing capacity and we may be required to seek additional financing in the debt or equity markets. We may be unable to obtain additional debt or equity financing on acceptable terms or at all. As a result, limitations on our capital resources could delay or cause us to abandon certain plans for the development of new properties or expansion and/or renovation of existing properties.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We had no significant changes in our exposure to market risks from that previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures – Our management, with the participation of our Co Chief Executive Officers, Principal Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officers, principal financial officer and chief accounting officer have concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting – There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended March 31, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. – Risk Factors

The information presented below updates and should be read in conjunction with Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. In addition to the other information set forth in the Form 10-K and this report, you should carefully consider the facts discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.

A downturn in general economic and geopolitical conditions may adversely affect our results of operations.

Our business operations are subject to changes in international, national and local economic conditions. Our business is fueled by discretionary income. Recessions or downturns in the general economies in which we operate could result in fewer customers visiting our properties, which would adversely affect our results of operations. Our operations in Colorado and in Caledon, South Africa are located approximately one hour away from the major markets they serve. Management believes that rising fuel prices and the introduction of a smoking ban at all casinos in 2008 (in Colorado) has contributed to a decline in these markets.

Our indebtedness imposes restrictive covenants on us, which limits our operating flexibility.

Our various credit agreements require us, among other obligations, to maintain specified financial ratios and satisfy certain financial tests, including leverage ratios, total fixed charge coverages and minimum annualized EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or a variant thereof). In addition, these agreements restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness, repay indebtedness or amend debt instruments, pay dividends, create liens on assets, make investments, make acquisitions, engage in mergers or consolidations, make capital expenditures or engage in certain transactions with subsidiaries and affiliates. There can be no assurances that we or our subsidiaries would be able to obtain a waiver to these restrictive covenants if necessary. If we fail to comply with the restrictions contained in these credit agreements, the resulting event of default could result in a lender accelerating the repayment of all outstanding amounts due under these agreements. There can be no assurances that we would be successful in obtaining alternative sources of funding to repay these obligations should this event occur. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, we paid approximately $0.2 million to obtain a waiver towards a financial covenant on our debt in Central City, Colorado.

We may be required in the future to record impairment losses related to the indefinite lived intangible assets and the equity investment we currently carry on our balance sheet.

We have $14.9 million of goodwill, $9.1 million of casino licenses and a $13.6 million equity investment as of March 31, 2008. Accounting rules require that we make certain estimates and assumptions related to our determinations as to the future recoverability of these assets. If we were to determine that the values of the goodwill, the casino licenses or the equity investment carried on our balance sheet are impaired, we may be required to record an impairment charge to write down the value of these assets, which would adversely affect our results during the period in which we recorded the impairment charge. For instance, in 2006, we recorded an impairment of goodwill related to our investment in Prague, Czech Republic of approximately $0.2 million. If operations at Womacks do not improve in future periods, we may be required to record an impairment of goodwill up to $7.2 million.
