Exhibit 99.1

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Trans World Corporation Announces the Acquisition of

a Four-Star Hotel in Hann Münden, Germany

NEW YORK — June 19, 2015 - Trans World Corporation (“TWC” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: TWOC), a premier owner and operator of casinos and hotels in Europe, today announced that, on June 16, 2015, it acquired Hotel Freizeit Auefeld, a modern, four-star, business and leisure hotel property, located in Hann Münden, Germany.

Mr. Rami Ramadan, Chief Executive Officer of TWC commented, “We selected our latest acquisition, the Hotel Freizeit Auefeld, because of its location; the quality of the facility; the price point; and most importantly, the hotel’s performance and future potential.  This hotel is the only full-service property in the area, and therefore has a broad target market as it caters to both business and leisure travelers to the region.  We secured Hotel Freizeit Auefeld under favorable terms, and we expect it to be immediately cash flow positive, excluding one-time expenditures in 2015 related to services and fees connected with the acquisition.

“Hotel Freizeit Auefeld complements our Hotel Columbus, near Frankfurt/Seligenstadt, which is approximately two hours away by car. Furthermore, its proximity will allow one hotel director to manage both properties. I am confident that these two properties will contribute to TWC’s stable foundation and the overall growth of the Company for many years to come.”

Summary of the Transaction

The total project cost for the acquisition will be approximately $6.1 million, including the cost to update and partially renovate the Hotel and the 5% real estate transfer taxes on the estimated value of the buildings applicable in the German State of Lower Saxony.  Approximately 22.4% of the acquisition, or $1.3 million, will be funded through cash from TWC’s operations, with the balance coming in the form of approximately $2.5 million in seller-financing, with terms of 3.0% annual interest and amortization over 10 years, and from assumed debt from a local German bank, of approximately $2.2 million, which TWC intends to refinance in 2015 with the same lender at agreed upon terms of 2.99% annual interest, fixed for 10 years, and amortization over 15 years.  In Year 11, TWC will have the option to retire the remaining principal or to refinance it at prevailing interest rates.

As a part of the Agreement, the economic effect of the acquisition will be recorded on the Company’s books retroactive to June 1, 2015.
