In the Q3 financial results, senior management at the company stated that the acquisition of the Rocky Gap Casino Resort during this trading period had contributed to a net loss for this quarter.
There was also a Canadian real estate transaction and subsequent sale-leaseback arrangement by the gaming operator that had an impact on the net loss and debt figures for the third quarter of this year.
One-time expenses related to the Rocky Gap acquisition and Canada sale-leaseback transaction negatively impacted our earnings from operations and net loss for the quarter.

US Region Shows Strong Revenue
A breakdown of the third quarter results from Century Casinos by region shows the gaming operator saw its best results from its US operations. Revenue in this jurisdiction was up by 65.4%, which equates to revenue of $116.9m in Q3 this year.
The earning figures in Canada for Q3 were $20m, which is a 4% rise in comparison with the same period last year.
