Century Casinos has agreed to sell the racing and gaming operations of Century Mile Racetrack and Casino in Edmonton and Century Downs Racetrack and Casino near Calgary to Highfield Investment Group for approximately $23.2 million CAD. Century Casinos owns all of Century Mile and holds a 75 percent interest in Century Downs. 

Highfield already has ties to the horse racing industry. Its Highfield Stock Farm, near Okotoks, Alberta, breeds and raises Thoroughbreds for racing and also operates a racing stable.

If the sale closes, Highfield will take over the racetracks’ lease obligations. Century Casinos says it plans to use the proceeds to reduce debt and focus on its U.S. properties.  

The transaction is expected to close in late 2026 or early 2027, subject to regulatory approval and other closing conditions.
