Century Casinos agrees to sell Alberta racetracks for $16.4 million
Century Casinos agreed on September 24, 2026 to sell the racing and gaming operations of Century Mile in Edmonton and Century Downs in Calgary to Highfield Investment Group for about $16.4 million, subject to a working capital adjustment at closing. The removal of these properties from the company's VICI master lease will reduce its annual rent by about $7.5 million, and the company intends to use the proceeds to reduce indebtedness.
Key points

- Annual rent under the VICI master lease will fall by about $7.5 million once the properties are removed.
- Closing is subject to gaming regulatory approvals and is expected in the fourth quarter of 2026 or the first quarter of 2027.
- Either party may terminate if closing has not occurred within 365 days of the agreement date.
