Subsequent Events [Text Block]	*NOTE 12.* SUBSEQUENT EVENTS** We have evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after March 31, 2020. Belterra Park Agreement On May 6, 2020 we entered into an agreement with Gold Merger Sub, LLC ("Gold Merger Sub"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Gaming and Leisure Properties, Inc. ("GLP"), for the acquisition of Boyd (Ohio) PropCo, LLC ("BP PropCo"), the entity that owns the real estate of Belterra Park (the "Real Estate"), with the merger consummated and the transaction closed at the time of the execution of the merger agreement. That agreement provided that Gold Merger Sub would acquire BP PropCo via a merger (the "Merger"), which would be treated for income tax purposes as a taxable asset acquisition consisting of the exchange of the Real Estate by us in satisfaction of the $57.7 million promissory note (the "Note") and mortgage executed in connection with GLP’s initial financing of our acquisition of the Real Estate in October 2018. Prior to the Merger, PNK (Ohio), LLC ("BP OpCo"), which owns the business operations of Belterra Park, leased the Real Estate from BP PropCo pursuant to a master lease that is the same in all material respects as the Master Lease between Boyd TCIV, LLC and Gold Merger Sub (the "BP Master Lease" and "GLP Master Lease," respectively). Rent paid under the BP Master Lease to BP PropCo by BP OpCo was then paid by BP PropCo to Gold Merger Sub as interest on the Note. As a result of the Merger, Gold Merger Sub has become the Landlord under the BP Master Lease and now receives rent payable under the BP Master Lease (equal to, and in lieu of, the interest payments on the Note received prior to consummation of the Merger).

The Boyd Credit Agreement includes, for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan A Facility, certain financial covenants, including a maximum total net leverage ratio covenant, a maximum secured net leverage ratio covenant and a minimum interest coverage ratio covenant (collectively, the "Financial Covenants"). The calculations used to determine the Company’s compliance with the respective Financial Covenants are dependent on its Consolidated EBITDA, as defined by the Boyd Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement Amendment provides that during the period (the "Covenant Relief Period") beginning on March 30, 2020 and ending on the earlier of (x) the date on which the Company delivers to the administrative agent a covenant relief period termination notice, (y) the date on which the administrative agent receives a compliance certificate with respect to the Company’s fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2021, and (z) the date on which the Company fails to satisfy the conditions to covenant relief set forth in the Credit Agreement Amendment, the Financial Covenants under the Boyd Credit Agreement will not be tested.
