Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block] | NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The authoritative accounting guidance for fair value measurements specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company's market assumptions. These inputs create the following fair value hierarchy: Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. Level 3: Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Thus, assets and liabilities categorized as Level 3 may be measured at fair value using inputs that are observable (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable (Level 3). Management's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. Balances Measured at Fair Value The following tables show the fair values of certain of our financial instruments:

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash The fair values of our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, classified in the fair value hierarchy as Level 1, are based on statements received from our banks at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Investment Available for Sale We have an investment in a single municipal bond issuance of $19.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.5% Urban Renewal Tax Increment Revenue Bonds, Taxable Series 2007 with a maturity date of June 1, 2037 that is classified as available for sale. We are the only holder of this instrument and there is no quoted market price for this instrument. As such, the fair value of this investment is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the instrument is estimated using a discounted cash flows approach and the significant unobservable input used in the valuation at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is a discount rate of 9.4% and 10.5%, respectively. Unrealized gains and losses on this instrument resulting from changes in the fair value of the instrument are not charged to earnings, but rather are recorded as other comprehensive income (loss) in the stockholders' equity section of the condensed consolidated balance sheets. At both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $0.6 million of the carrying value of the investment available for sale is included as a current asset in prepaid expenses and other current assets, and at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $16.3 million and $15.6 million, respectively, is included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The discount associated with this investment of $2.6 million and $2.7 million, as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, is netted with the investment balance and is being accreted over the life of the investment using the effective interest method. The accretion of such discount is included in interest income on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Contingent Payments In connection with the development of the Kansas Star Casino ("Kansas Star"), Kansas Star agreed to pay a former casino project promoter 1% of Kansas Star's EBITDA each month for a period of ten years commencing on December 20, 2011. The liability is recorded at the estimated fair value of the contingent payments using a discounted cash flows approach and the significant unobservable input used in the valuation at both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, is a discount rate of 6.2%. At both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there was a current liability of $0.9 million, related to this agreement, which is recorded in accrued liabilities on the respective condensed consolidated balance sheets, and long-term obligation at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, of $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively, which is included in other liabilities on the respective condensed consolidated balance sheets. The following tables summarize the changes in fair value of the Company's Level 3 assets and liabilities:

We are exposed to valuation risk on our Level 3 financial instruments. We estimate our risk exposure using a sensitivity analysis of potential changes in the significant unobservable inputs of our fair value measurements. Our Level 3 financial instruments are most susceptible to valuation risk caused by changes in the discount rate. If the discount in our fair value measurements increased or decreased by 100 basis points, the change would not cause the value of our fair value measurements to change significantly.

The estimated fair value of our bank credit facility is based on a relative value analysis performed on or about June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The estimated fair values of our Senior Notes are based on quoted market prices as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The other debt is fixed-rate debt consisting of the following: (i) Belterra Park Mortgage payable in 96 monthly installments, of which began in 2018 and was extinguished in May 2020; and (2) finance leases with various maturity dates from 2020 to 2026. The other debt is not traded and does not have an observable market input; therefore, we have estimated its fair value to be equal to the carrying value. There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 measurements during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.
