Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
On July 27, 2005, Century Casinos Caledon Pty Limited (“CCAL”), entered into an overdraft facility with Nedbank Limited (“Nedbank”) Registration No. 1951/000009/06. Pursuant to the overdraft facility, Nedbank extended temporary financing to the Company in the principal amount of 18.8 million Rand, or $2.8 million. The net proceeds from the financing were used by CCAL to repay in full the amount of debt outstanding under CCAL’s loan agreement with ABSA Bank. The financing bears interest at South Africa’s prime interest rate, currently 10.5%. The financing is secured by the pledge of 4,000 ordinary shares of CCAL’s common stock, or 100% of the total outstanding common stock of CCAL. The financing is due and payable upon completion of a final long term loan agreement with Nedbank, the terms of which are under negotiation.
