Century Casinos Africa Appoints New MD

April 7 - Paul Campbell, who has extensive experience in the gaming and entertainment industry, has been appointed the new Managing Director of Century Casinos Africa. This was according to a statement made by the Colorado Springs, US-based parent company, Century Casinos, Inc.

Campbell has been involved with the company's South African subsidiary as General Manager of the popular Caledon Hotel, Spa and Casino for the past two years. His new role entails a managerial director position over the Caledon operation, as well as 'Celebrations', a food and beverage company, and Century Casino Newcastle.

Casino Century owns 60% of Century Casino Newcastle and provides the resort with technical support.

Paul Campbell is no stranger to the world of gaming and entertainment. For the past sixteen years, he has worked his way up through several top positions, including Director of Slots for Storm International in the Russian city of Moscow, as well as Deputy Slots Manager for Sun International's GrandWest Entertainment and Casino World in Cape Town.

As a result of Campbell's appointment, Century Casinos made several strategic changes in leadership roles. The most important was the shifting of Rossouw Lubbe, who served as Century Casinos Africa's Managing Director since June 2007, to another position, that will have him focus on other areas, including corporate governance, strategic compliance matters and Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment issues.

The CEO's of Century Casinos Inc., Peter Hoetzinger and Erwin Haitzmann, said in a statement: "This decision is a result of growing dynamic operations in South Africa and will ensure that our approach to strategic decision making and corporate governance as well as our commitment to Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment will be augmented to an even higher level."
