Century Casinos, Inc. announced today that its subsidiary Casinos Poland Sp. z o.o., in which the Company holds a 66.6% ownership interest, closed its casinos to comply with a quarantine imposed by the Polish government to contain the spread of COVID-19. The quarantine includes the closure of restaurants, bars and casinos.
The Company closed its Polish casinos at midnight on Friday, March 13, 2020. The Company cannot predict the duration of the closures. The Company estimates that without business interruptions its Poland segment would generate 5-10% of the Company’s 2020 net operating revenue and Adjusted EBITDA.

6 reasons Rome will shine as SiGMA Central Europe’s host city

Reading Time: 6 minutes
SiGMA Central Europe will head to Rome for the first time in November. Powered by REDCORE, the event, taking place at the state-of-the-art expo venue Fiera Roma, is expected to welcome over 1,000 sponsors and exhibitors from the gaming and tech sectors for a summit that seamlessly blends business and pleasure. With 30,000 delegates estimated to attend through 03 – 06 November, we anticipate our inaugural Rome event will become one of the largest global gaming gatherings to date. Here’s 6 reasons why the Eternal City promises to be the ideal host.
- Connected and central
Centrally located in Europe, Rome offers an easy gateway to the event, thanks to its two international airports – the Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport and Ciampino–G. B. Pastine International Airport – providing excellent connectivity for participants worldwide. Rome also boasts a highly efficient public transportation system, with three metro lines and an extensive network of buses, trains and trams that reach even the city’s outermost areas, making it convenient for delegates from important neighbouring jurisdictions to easily travel to the event. Many of these transit options deliver you right to the Fiera Roma’s doorstep.
Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport (FCO)
- Location: Fiumicino, about 32 km (20 miles) southwest of Rome city center
- Main use: Rome’s primary international airport and the busiest in Italy
- Airlines: Major hub for ITA Airways; serves most international and long-haul flights
Ciampino–G. B. Pastine International Airport (CIA)
- Location: Ciampino, about 15 km (9 miles) southeast of Rome
- Main use: Serves mainly low-cost carriers and charter flights
- Airlines: Ryanair and other budget airlines frequently use this airport
Á focus on short-haul flights and proximity to Rome’s business districts make it an efficient option for European travellers on tight schedules.
- Huge market size and untapped potential
Italy has emerged as an ideal destination for SiGMA Central Europe, driven by its immense potential as Europe’s largest untapped online gambling market. With a total gambling market revenue of €16 billion – the second-highest in Europe – only 25% stems from online platforms, leaving €12 billion in offline revenue largely untapped. The online sector, projected to reach €2.89 billion in 2024, is growing at an annual rate of 5.52%, set to hit €3.78 billion by 2029 (Statista). As player preferences shift online, and with Italy’s status as a global financial hub, the country presents unparalleled opportunities for operators seeking expansion.
- Heritage with a contemporary vision
Standing at the forefront of government and culture, nowhere combines tradition with modernity quite as well as Rome. A feast for history lovers, historical landmarks line its streets, from the lofty heights of the iconic domed Pantheon to the winding streets home to Trevi Fountain and the Colosseum. The Galleria Borghese, home to silky, sinewy curves of Bernini, Titian, and Raphaelite muses should be a must stop for art lovers. The Capitoline Museums – one of the oldest public museums in the world – hosts a divine collection of Caravaggio works, while the Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna takes you forward in time to Italian artists from the 19th and 20th century. Michelangelo fans should also plan to visit the Sistine Chapel – well worth the neck ache in the morning.
For those seeking something out of the ordinary, the Capuchin Crypt, located beneath the Santa Maria della Convezione dei Cappuccino on Via Veneto, carefully holds the artfully arranged remains of over 3,700 Capuchin monks. Meanwhile the ancients hold court at the Palatine Hill and Roman forum, the Ara Pacis Museum and the Domus Aurea – otherwise known as Nero’s palace. For more contemporary souls, art districts such as Trastevere, San Lorenzo, and Pigneto, have an impressive selection from the modern art world, with street art, galleries, and workshops delivering a bohemian vibe.
For those with an eye for beauty – the Aventine keyhole at the Knights of Malta gate offers a perfectly framed glimpse of St Peter’s Dome – totally free and delightfully strange. Alternatively, the Quartiere Coppede, delivers fairy tale meets film noir – a unique twist that blends the Gothic, Medieval, and Art Nouveau architecture.
Literary lovers should head to the poetic gardens near the Pyramid of Cestius, an Egyptian-style monument that shelters the final resting place of Keats and Shelley.
Meanwhile, on the 5th November 2025, the iconic Auditorium della Conciliazione will host an exclusive private concert by the legendary Plácido Domingo. His appearance in Rome for SiGMA Central Europe promises a night not easily forgotten.
- Rome: La Dolce Vita
In a city where to be industrious is a way of life you might wonder if the wheel ever stops turning. The answer is yes, and it starts with an aperitif in Rome’s many nightlife districts.
From speakeasies hidden away behind secret doors to cocktail barges floating down the Tiber, there´s something for everyone attending SiGMA Central Europe. For casual nights out there are plenty of craft breweries, pubs and live music, and for a more upscale crowd, wine bars dot the streets.
In addition to a series of high level dinners, SiGMA will also host two prestigious gala award ceremonies, bringing an illustrious line up from the B2B and B2C gaming and tech sectors together for an evening that recognises companies and individuals leading the charge for change. Hall of Game also seeks to recognise the contribution of distinguished individuals, with an accolade that honours roles that have been instrumental in the foundation of a sustainable and transparent industry.Italy is renowned for its deeply rooted culinary traditions, where distinct regional cuisines have helped put the country on the map for food lovers.
Bold, simple, and deeply traditional – unapologetically flavourful dishes, such as Carbonara and Cacio e Pepe, often come to mind (and for good reason), but Rome offers more than meets the eye when it comes to its food scene.
Gilded pastry shops and rustic trattorias spilling out onto the cobbled Roman streets segue into the upscale dining rooms of Michelin-starred restaurants, providing plenty of options for SiGMA Central Europe´s evening calendar of networking events.
Crown jewels in its gastronomic landscape, Michelin-Starred restaurants deliver indulgent forays into a unique dining experience.

Italian brands such as Fendi, Bulgari, Bottega and Valentino, bring prestige, making it one of the most coveted shopping areas in the world. Rome’s reputation as a fashion capital is cemented here, with the area attracting fashion enthusiasts from across the globe.

- The Fiera di Roma: Room to grow
The event will be held at Fiera Roma, one of Europe’s premier exhibition centers. Boasting 10 pillar-free pavilions and a conference centre with 13 meeting rooms, the 100,000 square metre venue in Rome accommodates up to 60,000 participants, ensuring an ideal setting for SiGMA’s extensive agenda, which will take place for the first time across 4 conference stages. Additionally, a full 10 days of expo set up is secured – more than any other large expo – allowing exhibitors more room for creative booth set ups, and maintaining the high standards of excellence SiGMA has become known for.
