Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Significant Accounting Policies
2.           SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Principles of Consolidation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CCI and its subsidiaries. Investments in unconsolidated affiliates that are 20% to 50% owned and do not meet the criteria for consolidation are accounted for under the equity method. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
 
Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
 
Fair Value Measurements – Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and is measured according to a hierarchy that includes: "Level 1" inputs, which are quoted prices in an active market; "Level 2" inputs, which are observable inputs for similar instruments other than prices included in "Level 1"; or "Level 3" inputs, which are unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant in determining fair value. Fair value measurements affect the Company's accounting for business combinations and impairment assessments of its long-lived assets, goodwill and equity investment.
 
Fair value measurements also affect the Company's accounting for certain of its financial assets and liabilities. We calculate the fair value of financial instruments and include this additional information in the notes to our consolidated financial statements when the fair value does not approximate the carrying value of those financial instruments. Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, long-term debt and, from time to time, interest rate swap agreements. The Company had no outstanding interest rate swap agreements as of December 31, 2011 and 2010. The carrying value of financial instruments approximates fair value at December 31, 2011 and 2010.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents – All highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered cash equivalents.
 
Concentrations of Credit Risk - Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. Although the amount of credit exposure to any one institution may exceed federally insured amounts, the Company limits its cash investments to high quality financial institutions in order to minimize its credit risk.
 
Inventories – Inventories, which consist primarily of food, beverage, retail merchandise and operating supplies, are stated at the lower of cost or market.
 
 
 
Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of assets in service is determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leased property and equipment under capital leases are amortized over the lives of the respective leases or over the service lives of the assets, whichever is shorter.

Assets are depreciated over their respective service lives as follows:
Buildings and improvements                                                 7 – 39 yrs
Gaming equipment                                                             3 – 7 yrs
Furniture and non-gaming equipment                                    3 – 7 yrs.
 
The Company evaluates long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If there is an indication of impairment, determined by the excess of the carrying value in relation to anticipated undiscounted future cash flows, the carrying amount of the asset is written down to its estimated fair value by a charge to operations. No long-lived asset impairment charges were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2011 or 2010.
 
Goodwill - Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired in a business combination. The Company tests its recorded goodwill for impairment on an annual basis (as of October 1) or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the value may be impaired. There were no impairments to goodwill as a result of the Company's annual impairment evaluation in 2011 and 2010 (see Note 6).
 
Equity Investment – The Company holds a 33.3% ownership interest in and actively participates in the management of CPL. 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. The Company is the only shareholder with experience in the gaming industry. All material decisions require the unanimous consent of the boards and thus, no material decisions can be made without the Company's consent, including the removal of the chairman of each board. The Company includes the equity in the earnings of CPL as a component of its operations because of its active involvement in the operations of the casinos. The Company completed an assessment of whether CPL is a variable interest entity in which it has a controlling financial interest. Based on this assessment, the Company concluded that CPL is not subject to consolidation under the guidance for variable interest entities. The Company evaluates its investment in CPL for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. There were no impairments to the Company's equity investment in CPL in 2011 and 2010 (see Note 4).
 
The Company completed an assessment of whether the management agreement at the Radisson Aruba Resort, Casino & Spa is a variable interest. The Company has concluded that its management agreement for Radisson Aruba Resort, Casino & Spa is a variable interest, however, the Company does not have a controlling financial interest and therefore it is not required to consolidate.
Foreign Currency Translation – Balance sheet accounts are translated at the exchange rate in effect at each balance sheet date. Income statement accounts are translated at the average exchange rate prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are charged or credited to other comprehensive income. Gains and losses from intercompany foreign currency transactions that are of a long-term investment nature and are between entities of a consolidated group are recorded as translation adjustments to other comprehensive income. Foreign currency transaction gains or losses resulting from the translation of casino operations and other transactions that are denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars are recognized in the statements of earnings.
 
Historical transactions that are denominated in a foreign currency are translated and presented in accordance with the U.S. dollar exchange rate in effect on the date of the transaction. The exchange rates used to translate balances at the end of each year are as follows:
Ending Rates
  
2011
    
2010
  
Canadian dollar (CAD)
     1.0170       0.9946  
Euros (€)
     0.7709       0.7468  
Polish zloty (PLN)
     3.4174       2.9641  
 
Comprehensive Earnings (Loss) – Comprehensive earnings (loss) includes the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency rates on the values of the Company's foreign investments.
 
Revenue Recognition – Casino revenue is the aggregate net difference between gaming wins and losses, with liabilities recognized for chips in the customer's possession. Hotel, bowling, food and beverage revenue is recognized when products are delivered or services are performed. Management fees are recognized as revenue when services are provided. The incremental amount of unpaid progressive jackpots is recorded as a liability and a reduction of casino revenue in the period during which the progressive jackpot increases. Revenue is recognized net of incentives related to gaming play and points earned in point-loyalty programs.
 
At the Company's casinos in Edmonton and Calgary, the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission ("AGLC") retains 85% of slot machine net win. For all table games, excluding poker and craps, the casino is required to allocate 50% of its net win to a charity designated by the AGLC. For poker and craps, 25% of the casino's net win is allocated to the charity. The Century Casino & Hotel in Edmonton and the Century Casino Calgary record revenue net of the amounts retained by the AGLC and charities.
 
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. The estimated cost of providing such promotional allowances is primarily included in hotel, food and beverage expenses.
 
The Company issues coupons for the purpose of generating future revenue. The cost of the coupons redeemed is applied against the revenue generated on the day of the redemption. In addition, 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 the Company's 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 in which the revenue generated the points. The value of unused or unredeemed points is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The expiration of unused points results in a reduction of the liability.
Promotional allowances presented in the consolidated statement of earnings include the following:

Revision and Reclassification - During the quarter ended December 31, 2011, the Company identified errors in income tax expense totaling $502,000. These errors related to (i) the inability to realize expected tax benefits from intercompany interest charges in 2007 ($279,000) and 2008 ($45,000) as the tax planning strategy relied upon in 2007-08 was not valid; and, (ii) incorrectly treating an existing accrual for uncertain tax positions as a deferred tax liability for purposes of computing the Company's valuation allowance on deferred tax assets in 2008 ($178,000).  The Company assessed the impact of these errors on prior annual and interim periods in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 99, Materiality ("SAB 99") and SAB No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements ("SAB 108"). Based on this assessment the Company has concluded that the error did not result in a material misstatement of any prior periods, as previously reported.  Therefore to correct these errors relating to prior year income taxes in accordance with SAB 108, the Company has revised the 2010 balance sheet as follows:

 
Amounts in thousands
      
Decrease in long-term deferred tax assets
   $ 134  
Increase in current taxes payable
     186  
Increase in long term taxes payable
     203  
Decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income
     (21 )
Decrease in retained earnings at January 1, 2010
   $ 502  
 
Stock-Based Compensation - Stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the vesting period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of all option grants.
 
Advertising Expenses – Advertising costs are expensed when incurred by the Company. Advertising expense was $1.6 million in each of the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.
Preopening and Start-Up Expenses – Preopening and start-up costs, including organizational costs, are expensed as incurred. In 2011, the Company had less than $0.1 million in start-up costs directly related to two new ships added during the year. In 2010, the Company had $0.1 million in start-up costs directly related to six new ships added during the year.

Income Taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, which provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the difference between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, at a rate expected to be in effect when the differences become deductible or payable. Recorded deferred tax assets are evaluated for impairment on a quarterly basis by reviewing internal estimates for future net income. Due to the uncertainty of future taxable income, deferred tax assets of $5.1 million resulting from net operating losses in the U.S. $0.9 million resulting from the Calgary Casino purchase and $1.3 million from the Century Casinos Europe subsidiary have been fully reserved (see Note 11). The Company will assess the continuing need for a valuation allowance that results from uncertainty regarding its ability to realize the benefits of the Company's deferred tax assets.
 
Earnings Per Share – Basic  earnings per share considers only weighted-average outstanding common shares in the computation. Diluted earnings per share give effect to all potentially dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share is based upon the weighted- average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus, if dilutive, the assumed exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method and the assumed conversion of other convertible securities (using the "if converted" method) at the beginning of the year, or for the period outstanding during  the  year for current year issuances.

Century Casino Calgary
 
In January 2010, the Company, through CCE, acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Frank Sisson's Silver Dollar Ltd. ("FSSD") and 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of EGC Properties Ltd. ("EGC"). FSSD and EGC collectively owned and operated the Silver Dollar Casino and related land in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. In November 2010, the Company rebranded the casino under the name Century Casino Calgary.
 
The total consideration for the transaction was $11.5 million, which consisted of a $10.7 million purchase price plus a net working capital adjustment of $0.8 million. CCE paid $1.0 million on the acquisition in November 2009 and the remaining $10.5 million in January 2010. The purchase price was paid from cash on hand. There was no contingent consideration for the transaction.
 
The Company incurred acquisition costs of approximately $0.3 million. The majority of these costs, which include legal, accounting and valuation fees, were recorded as general and administrative expenses during the fourth quarter of 2009.
 
The following table presents the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on January 13, 2010, the date of acquisition:

Mortgage - Edmonton
 
In September 2005, CRA agreed to the terms of a $20.0 million (CAD 20.0 million) credit facility with Canadian Western Bank for the development of the Century Casino & Hotel in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The credit facility, originally structured as a construction loan, converted to a 60-month Edmonton Mortgage on December 20, 2007. The Edmonton Mortgage matures on December 31, 2012. Prior to December 31, 2012, CRA is able to renegotiate the Edmonton Mortgage for an additional one to five year term. The Company intends to refinance the Edmonton Mortgage prior to the maturity of the loan. The Edmonton Mortgage bears interest at a fixed rate of 7.0%. Monthly principal and interest payments on the Edmonton Mortgage are based on a 10-year amortization and are payable on the last day of each month. Under the terms of the Edmonton Mortgage, CRA is subject to various reporting requirements, a minimum equity requirement of approximately $11.1 million (CAD 11.3 million), is required, a minimum Cash Flow Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Edmonton Mortgage) of 1.20 and a minimum cash covenant of $3.4 million (CAD 3.5 million). During 2010 and 2011, the Company was in compliance with all the financial covenant terms of the Edmonton Mortgage.
 
The Edmonton Mortgage is secured by the assets of CRA and guaranteed by the Company. CRA may elect to prepay up to 10%, or $2.0 million (CAD 2.0 million), of the original principal amount of the Edmonton Mortgage annually without penalty or bonus. On December 22, 2010, the Company elected to make a $2.0 million (CAD 2.0 million) prepayment of the Edmonton Mortgage.
 
On January 25, 2011 and January 4, 2012, the Company elected to make additional $2.0 million (CAD 2.0 million) prepayments of the Edmonton Mortgage. The Company will recognize a cost savings of CAD 0.4 million in interest expenses over the remaining term of the Edmonton Mortgage as a result of prepayments. The principal balance outstanding under the Edmonton Mortgage as of December 31, 2011 was $9.1 million (CAD 9.3 million), which is included in current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Stock-Based Compensation

10. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The board of directors of the Company adopted an Employees' Equity Incentive Plan (the "EEIP") in April 1994. The EEIP expired in April 2004. The EEIP continues to be administered for previously issued and outstanding options. Stockholders of the Company approved a new equity incentive plan (the "2005 Plan") at the 2005 annual meeting of stockholders. The 2005 Plan provides for the grant of awards to eligible individuals in the form of stock, restricted stock, stock options, performance units or other stock-based awards, all as defined in the 2005 Plan. The 2005 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock to eligible individuals through the various forms of permitted awards. The 2005 Plan limits the number of options that can be awarded to an eligible individual to 200,000 per year. Stock options may not be issued at an option price lower than fair market value at the date of grant. All stock options must have an exercise period not to exceed ten years. Through December 31, 2011, the Company has granted, under the EEIP and the 2005 Plan, shares of restricted common stock, incentive stock option awards (for which the option price was not less than the fair market value at the date of grant) and non-statutory options (which may be granted at any option price (as permitted under the EEIP)). Options granted to date have six-month, one-year, two-year or four-year vesting periods. Through December 31, 2011, all outstanding options have been issued at market value as of the date of the grant. The Company's Incentive Plan Committee or, in the case of the 2005 Plan, any other committee as delegated by the board of directors, has the power and discretion to, among other things, prescribe the terms and conditions for the exercise of, or modification of, any outstanding awards in the event of merger, acquisition or any other form of acquisition other than a reorganization of the Company under the United States Bankruptcy Code or liquidation of the Company. Both plans also allow limited transferability of any non-statutory stock options to legal entities that are 100% owned or controlled by the optionee or to the optionee's family trust.

Stock Options

As of December 31, 2011, there were 1,164,848 options outstanding to employees of the Company, of which 849,210 options were issued under the EEIP and 315,638 options were issued under the 2005 Plan.

No options were issued in 2011. A total of 50,000 options were granted to employees under the 2005 Plan in 2010, although 10,000 of these options were subsequently forfeited before year end. The weighted-average fair value of options granted in 2010 was $1.48. The weighted-average fair value of options granted under the 2005 Plan are estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

    2011  
Weighted-average risk-free interest   2.39 %
Weighted-average expected life   5.39 yrs
Weighted-average expected volatility   65.7 %

(1) In years

The aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the Company's closing stock price of $2.53 per share as of December 31, 2011 and the exercise price multiplied by the number of options outstanding or exercisable as of that date.

No options were issued to independent directors of the Company during 2011 or 2010. As of December 31, 2011, there were 35,752 options outstanding to independent directors of the Company with a weighted-average exercise price of $6.57. During 2010, 5,000 shares were exercised by independent directors.

For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded less than $0.1 million for stock-based compensation expense. This amount is included in general and administrative expenses.

At December 31, 2011, there was less than $0.1 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options remaining to be recognized through 2014.

Cash flows from the exercise of stock options resulting from tax benefits in excess of recognized cumulative compensation cost (excess tax benefits) are classified as financing cash flows on the Company's consolidated statement of cash flows. No excess tax benefits were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Restricted Stock

In 2007, the Company issued 200,000 shares of restricted common stock with a fair value of $9.00 per share to each of its Co Chief Executive Officers. The restricted stock vested ratably over a four-year period. Of the 400,000 shares issued, 160,000 shares and 120,000 shares vested during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As of December 31, 2011, there were no unvested shares remaining.

For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, compensation expense related to restricted stock awards totaled $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

The impact of the amortization of all the Company's stock based compensation awards (pre-tax) to both basic and diluted earnings per share was $0.01 and $0.02 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company records deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted statutory tax rate in effect for the year these differences are expected to be taxable or refunded. Deferred income tax expenses or credits are based on the changes in the asset or liability from period to period. The recorded deferred tax assets are reviewed for impairment on a quarterly basis by reviewing internal estimates for future net income.
 
The Company assesses the continuing need for a valuation allowance that results from uncertainty regarding its ability to realize the benefits of the Company's deferred tax assets. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. If the Company concludes that its prospects for the realization of its deferred tax assets are more likely than not, the Company will then reduce its valuation allowance as appropriate and credit income tax expense after considering the following factors:

·  
The level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over periods in which the deferred tax assets would be deductible;
·  
Accumulation of net income before tax utilizing a look-back period of three years; and
·  
Tax planning strategies.

The Company has analyzed filing positions in all of the U.S. federal, state and foreign jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. The Company has identified its U.S. federal tax return, its state tax return in Colorado and its foreign tax returns in Canada and South Africa as "major" tax jurisdictions, as defined.
 
The Company's tax returns for the following periods are subject to examination:

Jurisdiction:
Periods
U.S. Federal
2005-2010
U.S. State – Colorado
2003-2010
Canada
2005-2010
South Africa
1999-2009
 
The Company has not recorded any potential liability for uncertain tax positions taken on its U.S. tax returns as it believes that this liability would be offset by its large cumulative U.S. net operating loss that has been fully reserved. The Company has recognized a $0.2 million liability for an unrecognized tax liability related to a foreign tax position, which is recorded as a component of taxes payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of the year ended December 31, 2011.
 
The Company may, from time to time, be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to our financial results. The Company's policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such items as a component of earnings before income taxes. Penalties are recorded in general and administrative expenses and interest paid or received is recorded in interest expense or interest income, respectively, in the consolidated statement of earnings.
