Insights

The relocation of Century Casino Caruthersville from a temporary pavilion to a permanent land-based facility represents a significant operational expansion. The $51.9 million project, funded by VICI Properties, will increase gaming capacity by 50% with 599 slot machines and nine table games, while doubling hotel capacity to 74 rooms.

The financial structure is particularly noteworthy - VICI's ownership of real estate improvements and the triple net master lease arrangement, with an annual rent increase of $4.2 million, provides Century with expansion capabilities while maintaining capital efficiency. This setup allows Century to grow without heavy capital expenditure, though the increased rent obligations will impact operating margins.

The completion on time and within budget demonstrates strong project management and should positively impact investor confidence. The expanded gaming floor and hotel capacity should drive revenue growth, particularly important in the competitive Missouri gaming market.
