(1) Eastside Cannery remains closed since March 18, 2020 due to the current levels of demand in the market. (2) Property is subject to master lease agreement with a real estate investment trust. In addition to these properties, we own a travel agency and a captive insurance company that underwrites travel-related insurance, each located in Hawaii. Financial results for our travel agency and our captive insurance company are included in our Downtown Las Vegas segment, as our Downtown Las Vegas properties concentrate significant marketing efforts on gaming customers from Hawaii. Our Midwest & South segment includes the results of the following non-reportable segments and business activities: (i) Lattner Entertainment Group Illinois, LLC ("Lattner"), our Illinois distributed gaming operator; (ii) online gaming operations, which includes: (a) the operations of Pala Interactive, LLC ("Pala Interactive") and Pala Interactive Canada Inc. ("Pala Canada"), the online gaming technology company we acquired on November 1, 2022; and (b) online operations through partnerships with FanDuel Group and market access agreements with other operators in New Jersey and, as of December 31, 2022, six of the nine states in the Midwest & South segment where we operate our gaming entertainment properties; and (iii) management fees from our management agreement with Wilton Rancheria. Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic In mid- March 2020, all of our gaming facilities were closed in compliance with orders issued by state officials as precautionary measures intended to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus. As of December 31, 2022, 27 of our 28 gaming facilities are open and operating. One of our Las Vegas Locals segment properties, Eastside Cannery, remains closed to the public due to the current levels of demand in the market and our cost containment efforts. The closures of our properties in 2020 had a material impact on our business. We currently anticipate funding our operations over the next 12 months with the cash being generated by our operations, supplemented, if necessary, by the cash we currently have available and the borrowing capacity available under our Revolving Credit Facility. Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Investments in unconsolidated affiliates, which are 50% or less owned and do not meet the controlling financial interest consolidation criteria of the authoritative accounting guidance for voting interest or variable interest entities, are accounted for under the equity method. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments, which include cash on hand and in banks, interest-bearing deposits and money market funds with maturities of three months or less at their date of purchase. The instruments are not restricted as to withdrawal or use and are on deposit with high credit quality financial institutions. Although these balances may at times exceed the federal insured deposit limit, we believe such risk is mitigated by the quality of the institution holding such deposit. The carrying values of these instruments approximate their fair values as such balances are generally available on demand. Restricted Cash Restricted cash consists primarily of advance payments related to: (i) amounts restricted by regulation for gaming and racing purposes; (ii) amounts restricted by regulation for the value in players online casino gaming accounts; and (iii) future bookings with our Hawaiian travel agency. These restricted cash balances are invested in highly liquid instruments with a maturity of 90 days or less. These restricted cash balances are held by high credit quality financial institutions. The carrying values of these instruments approximate their fair value due to their short maturities. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balances reported within the consolidated balance sheets to the total balance shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Accounts Receivable, net Accounts receivable consist primarily of casino, hotel and other receivables. Accounts receivable are typically non-interest bearing and are initially recorded at cost. Accounts are written off when management deems the account to be uncollectible, based upon historical collection experience, the age of the receivable and other relevant economic factors. An estimated allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained to reduce our receivables to their carrying amount. As a result, the net carrying value approximates fair value. The activity comprising our allowance for doubtful accounts is as follows:

Ending balance, December 31, |  | $ | 2,595 |  |  | $ | 3,338 |  |  | $ | 4,106 |
Inventories Inventories consist primarily of food & beverage and retail items and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the weighted-average inventory method. Property and Equipment, net Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or, for leasehold improvements, over the shorter of the asset's useful life or term of the lease. The estimated useful lives of our major components of property and equipment are:
Building and improvements | 3 through 40 years
Riverboats and barges | 5 through 40 years
Furniture and equipment | 1 through 12 years
Gains or losses on disposals of assets are recognized as incurred. Costs of major improvements are capitalized, while costs of normal repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. For an asset that is held for sale, we recognize the asset at the lower of carrying value or fair market value, less costs of disposal, as estimated based on comparable asset sales, cost and income approaches. For a long-lived asset to be held and used, we review the asset for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. We then compare the estimated undiscounted future cash flows of the asset to the carrying value of the asset. The asset is not impaired if the undiscounted future cash flows exceed its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the undiscounted future cash flows, then an impairment charge is recorded, typically measured using a discounted cash flow model, which is based on the estimated future results of the relevant reporting unit discounted using our weighted-average cost of capital and market indicators of terminal year free cash flow multiples. In certain circumstances, the sales comparison approach, which analyzes recent sales transactions of similar assets, or the cost approach, which is based on the premise that a prudent investor would pay no more for an asset of similar utility than its replacement or reproduction cost, may be used in place of the discounted cash flow model to derive fair value. All resulting recognized impairment charges are recorded as impairment of assets within operating costs and expenses. Capitalized Interest Interest costs associated with major construction projects are capitalized as part of the cost of the constructed assets. When no debt is incurred specifically for a project, interest is capitalized on amounts expended for the project using our weighted-average cost of borrowing. Capitalization of interest ceases when the project (or discernible portions of the project) is substantially complete. If substantially all of the construction activities of a project are suspended, capitalization of interest will cease until such activities are resumed. There was immaterial capitalized interest for the year ended December 31, 2022. There was capitalized interest of $0.1 million for both the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Investment in Available for Sale Securities We have an investment in a single municipal bond issuance of $17.8 million aggregate principal amount of 7.5% Urban Renewal Tax Increment Revenue Bonds, Taxable Series 2007 ("City Bonds"). This investment is classified as available-for-sale and is recorded at fair value. The fair value at December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $13.7 million and $15.8 million, respectively. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, $0.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively, is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and at December 31, 2022 and 2021, $13.0 million and $15.2 million, respectively, is included in other assets, net. Future maturities of the City Bonds, excluding the discount, for the years ending December 31 are summarized as follows:

Intangible Assets Intangible assets include customer relationships, host agreements, development agreements, developed technology, business-to-business ("B2B") relationships, business-to-consumer ("B2C") relationships, gaming license rights and trademarks. Amortizing Intangible Assets Customer relationships represent the value of repeat business associated with our customer loyalty programs and are being amortized on an accelerated method over their approximate useful life. B2B relationships and B2C relationships represent the value of our customer relationships, including those under contractual arrangements, associated with our online gaming operations and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over seven to twelve years. Host agreements represent the value associated with our host establishment relationships and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years. Development agreement is a contract between two parties establishing an agreement for development of a product or service. This agreement is being amortized over the respective cash flow period of the related seven-year agreement. Developed technology represents the value associated with our online gaming platform and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 10 years. Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets Trademarks are based on the value of our brands, which reflect the level of service and quality we provide and from which we generate repeat business. Gaming license rights represent the value of the license to conduct gaming in certain jurisdictions, which is subject to highly extensive regulatory oversight, and a limitation on the number of licenses available for issuance therein. These assets, considered indefinite-lived intangible assets, are not subject to amortization, but instead are subject to an annual impairment test, and between annual test dates in certain circumstances. If the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the difference. Gaming license rights are tested for impairment using a multi-period excess earnings method, which is a specific discounted cash flow model or a qualitative assessment approach, and trademarks are tested for impairment using the relief-from-royalty method or a qualitative assessment approach. Goodwill Goodwill is an asset representing the future economic benefits arising from other assets in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. Goodwill is not subject to amortization, but it is subject to an annual impairment test and in between annual test dates in certain circumstances. We evaluate goodwill using a weighted average allocation of both the income and market approach models or a qualitative assessment approach. In the valuation of an asset, the income approach focuses on the income-producing capability of the subject asset. The underlying premise of this approach is that the value of an asset can be measured by the present worth of the net economic benefit (cash receipts less cash outlays) to be received over the life of the subject asset. The steps followed in applying this approach include estimating the expected after-tax cash flows attributable to the asset over its life and converting these after-tax cash flows to present value through "discounting." The discounting process uses a rate of return which accounts for both the time value of money and investment risk factors. Finally, the present value of the after-tax cash flows over the life of the reporting unit is totaled to arrive at an indication of the fair value of the asset. The market approach is comprised of the guideline company method, which focuses on comparing the subject company to selected reasonably similar, or "guideline", publicly-traded companies. Under this method, valuation multiples are: (i) derived from the operating data of selected guideline companies; (ii) evaluated and adjusted based on the strengths and weaknesses of the subject company relative to the selected guideline companies; and (iii) applied to the operating data of the subject company to arrive at an indication of value. In the valuation of a reporting unit, the market approach measures value based on what typical purchasers in the market have paid for assets which can be considered reasonably similar to those being valued. When the market approach is utilized, data is collected on the prices paid for reasonably comparable assets. Adjustments are made to the similar assets to compensate for differences between reasonably similar assets and the asset being valued. The application of the market approach results in an estimate of the price reasonably expected to be realized from the sale of the subject asset. Long-Term Debt, Net Long-term debt, net is reported as the outstanding debt amount net of unamortized cost. Any unamortized debt issuance costs, which include legal and other direct costs related to the issuance of our outstanding debt, or discount granted to the initial purchasers or lenders upon issuance of our debt instruments is recorded as a direct reduction to the face amount of our outstanding debt. The debt issuance costs and discount are accreted to interest expense using the effective interest method over the contractual term of the underlying debt. In the event that our debt is modified, repurchased or otherwise reduced prior to its original maturity date, we evaluate whether it is a debt extinguishment or debt modification under authoritative accounting guidance and for a debt extinguishment, we ratably reduce the unamortized debt issuance costs and discount and record a loss on extinguishment of debt. Income Taxes Income taxes are recorded under the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. We reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance, if based on the available evidence it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized. Use of the term "more likely than not" indicates the likelihood of occurrence is greater than 50%. Accordingly, the need to establish valuation allowances for deferred tax assets is continually assessed based on a more-likely-than-not realization threshold. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of profitability and taxable income, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, our experience with the utilization of operating loss and tax credit carryforwards before expiration and tax planning strategies. In making such judgments, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified. Other Long-Term Tax Liabilities The Company's income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and other tax authorities in the locations where it operates. The Company assesses potentially unfavorable outcomes of such examinations based on accounting standards for uncertain income taxes, which prescribe a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. Uncertain tax position accounting standards apply to all tax positions related to income taxes. These accounting standards utilize a two-step approach for evaluating tax positions. Recognition occurs when the Company concludes that a tax position, based on its technical merits, is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. Measurement is only addressed if the position is deemed to be more likely than not to be sustained. The tax benefit is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon settlement. Tax positions failing to qualify for initial recognition are recognized in the first subsequent interim period that they meet the "more likely than not" standard. If it is subsequently determined that a previously recognized tax position no longer meets the "more likely than not" standard, it is required that the tax position is derecognized. Accounting standards for uncertain tax positions specifically prohibit the use of a valuation allowance as a substitute for derecognition of tax positions. As applicable, the Company will recognize accrued penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. Accrued interest and penalties are included in other long-term tax liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Self-Insurance Reserves We are self-insured for various insurance coverages such as property, general liability, employee health and workers' compensation costs with the appropriate levels of deductibles and retentions. Insurance claims and reserves include accruals of estimated settlements for known claims, as well as accruals of estimates for claims incurred but not yet reported. In estimating these accruals, we consider historical loss experience and make judgments about the expected levels of costs per claim. Management believes the estimates of future liability are reasonable based upon our methodology; however, changes in health care costs, accident frequency and severity and other factors could materially affect the estimate for these liabilities. Certain of these claims represent obligations to make future payments; and therefore, we discount such reserves to an amount representing the present value of the claims which will be paid in the future using a blended rate, which represents the inherent risk and the average payout duration. Self-insurance reserves are included in accrued liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. The activity comprising our self-insurance reserves is as follows:
|  | Year Ended December 31, |

Beginning balance, January 1, |  | $ | 42,563 |  |  | $ | 45,436 |  |  | $ | 43,604 |

Ending balance, December 31, |  | $ | 37,492 |  |  | $ | 42,563 |  |  | $ | 45,436 |
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). Components of the Company's comprehensive income (loss) are reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of changes in stockholders' equity and consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). The accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at December 31, 2022, consists of unrealized gains and losses on the investment available for sale resulting from changes in fair value and foreign currency translation adjustments. Leases Management determines if a contract is or contains a lease at inception or modification of a contract. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified asset means the lessee has both (a) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and (b) the right to direct the use of the asset. Operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the discount rate for the lease at the commencement date. For our operating leases for which the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, we generally use an incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of future lease payments. Operating right-of-use ("ROU") assets and finance lease assets are recognized based on the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease and non-lease components are accounted for separately. Revenue Recognition The Company’s revenue contracts with customers consist of gaming wagers, hotel room sales, food & beverage offerings and other amenity transactions. The transaction price for a gaming wagering contract is the difference between gaming wins and losses, not the total amount wagered. Cash discounts, commissions and other cash incentives to customers related to gaming play are recorded as a reduction of gaming revenues. The transaction price for hotel, food & beverage and other contracts is the net amount collected from the customer for such goods and services. Hotel, food & beverage and other services have been determined to be separate, stand-alone performance obligations and the transaction price for such contracts is recorded as revenue as the good or service is transferred to the customer over their stay at the hotel, when the delivery is made for the food & beverage or when the service is provided for other amenity transactions. We have established a player loyalty point program to encourage repeat business from frequent and active slot machine customers and other patrons. Members earn points based on gaming activity and such points can be redeemed for complimentary slot play, food & beverage, hotel rooms and other free goods and services. Gaming wager contracts involve two performance obligations for those customers earning points under the Company’s player loyalty programs and a single performance obligation for customers who do not participate in the programs. The Company applies a practical expedient by accounting for its gaming contracts on a portfolio basis as such wagers have similar characteristics and the Company reasonably expects the effects on the financial statements of applying the revenue recognition guidance to the portfolio to not differ materially from that which would result if applying the guidance to an individual wagering contract. For purposes of allocating the transaction price in a wagering contract between the wagering performance obligation and the obligation associated with the loyalty points earned, the Company allocates an amount to the loyalty point contract liability based on the stand-alone selling price of the points earned, which is determined by the value of a point that can be redeemed for a hotel room stay, food & beverage or other amenities. Sales and usage-based taxes are excluded from revenues. An amount is allocated to the gaming wager performance obligation using the residual approach as the stand-alone price for wagers is highly variable and no set established price exists for such wagers. The allocated revenue for gaming wagers, excluding race and sports wagers, is recognized when the wagers occur as all such wagers settle immediately. The allocated revenue for race and sports wagers is recognized when the specific event or game occurs. The loyalty point contract liability amount is deferred and recognized as revenue when the customer redeems the points for a hotel room stay, food & beverage or other amenities and such goods or services are delivered to the customer. See Note 6, Accrued Liabilities, for the balance outstanding related to player loyalty programs. The Company collects advance deposits from hotel customers for future hotel reservations and other future events such as banquets and ticketed events. These advance deposits represent obligations of the Company until the hotel room stay is provided to the customer or the banquet or ticketed event occurs. See Note 6, Accrued Liabilities, for the balance outstanding related to advance deposits. The Company's outstanding chip liability represents the amounts owed in exchange for gaming chips held by a customer. Outstanding chips are expected to be recognized as revenue or redeemed for cash within one year of being purchased. See Note 6, Accrued Liabilities, for the balance related to outstanding chips. The retail value of hotel accommodations, food & beverage, and other services furnished to guests without charge is recorded as departmental revenues. Gaming revenues are net of incentives earned in our player loyalty programs such as cash and the estimated retail value of goods and services (such as complimentary rooms and food & beverages). The estimated retail value related to goods and services provided to customers without charge or upon redemption of points under our player loyalty programs, included in departmental revenues, and therefore reducing our gaming revenues, are as follows:

Gaming Taxes We are subject to taxes based on gross gaming revenues in the jurisdictions in which we operate. These gaming taxes are assessed based on our gaming revenues and are recorded as a gaming expense in the consolidated statements of operations. In addition, we are responsible for the payment of gaming taxes owed for online gaming activities conducted by third-party operators under certain collaborative arrangements. We are reimbursed for these taxes by the third-party operators. We report these gaming taxes paid as other expense and the reimbursements we receive as other revenues. Gaming taxes totaled approximately $718.8 million, $676.8 million and $388.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, including taxes deposited pursuant to the online collaborative agreements of $195.6 million, $140.5 million and $61.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Advertising Expense Direct advertising costs are expensed the first time such advertising appears. Advertising costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations and totaled $18.7 million, $16.1 million and $20.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Corporate Expense Corporate expense represents unallocated payroll, professional fees, aircraft costs and various other expenses that are not directly related to our casino hotel operations. Project Development, Preopening and Writedowns Project development, preopening and writedowns represent: (i) certain costs incurred and recoveries realized related to the activities associated with various acquisition opportunities, strategic initiatives, dispositions and other business development activities in the ordinary course of business; (ii) certain costs of start-up activities that are expensed as incurred in our ongoing efforts to develop gaming activities in new jurisdictions and expenses related to other new business development activities that do not qualify as capital costs; (iii) asset writedowns; and (iv) realized gains arising from asset dispositions. Share-Based Compensation Share-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over the employee's requisite service period. The requisite service period can be impacted by the provisions of the Company’s stock compensation programs that provide for automatic vesting acceleration upon retirement (including as a result of death or disability) for those long-service participants achieving defined age and years of service criteria. These acceleration provisions do not apply to stock grants and awards issued within six months of the employee’s retirement. Compensation costs related to stock option awards are calculated based on the fair value of each major option grant on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires the following assumptions: expected stock price volatility, risk-free interest rates, expected option lives and dividend yields. We form our assumptions using historical experience and observable market conditions. Other, Net In 2020, the Company realized a nonrecurring gain of $40.0 million related to the property closures. Currency Tra nslation The Company translates the financial statements of its foreign subsidiary that are not denominated in U.S. dollars. Balance sheet accounts are translated at the exchange rate in effect at each balance sheet date. Income statement accounts are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period. If a material income statement event occurs, the transaction would be translated at the exchange rate in effect on the date of occurrence. Translation adjustments resulting from this process are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). Gains or losses from foreign currency remeasurements are recorded as other non-operating income (expense). Net Income (Loss) per Share Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the additional dilution for all potentially-dilutive securities, such as stock options. Collaborative Arrangements We hold a five percent equity ownership in and have a strategic partnership with FanDuel Group ("FanDuel"), one of the nation's leaders in sports-betting, to pursue sports-betting opportunities, across the country, both at our properties and online. Subject to state law and regulatory approvals, we have established a presence in the sports wagering industry, both at our properties and online, by leveraging FanDuel's technology and related services. We offer online sports wagering under the FanDuel brand or under market access agreements with other companies in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Pennsylvania and, as of January 1, 2023, Ohio. We also operate sportsbooks under the FanDuel brand at one of our Downtown Las Vegas properties, our properties in Mississippi and all of the properties in the states where we offer online sports wagering. In addition, we offer online casino gaming in Pennsylvania and New Jersey through our partnership with FanDuel. The activities related to these collaborative arrangements are recorded in other revenue and other expense on the consolidated statements of operations. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that subject us to credit risk consist of cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Our policy is to limit the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution, and place investments with financial institutions evaluated as being creditworthy, or in short-term money market and tax-free bond funds which are exposed to minimal interest rate and credit risk. We have bank deposits that may at times exceed federally insured limits. Concentration of credit risk, with respect to gaming receivables, is limited through our credit evaluation process. We issue markers to approved gaming customers only following credit checks and investigations of creditworthiness. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2021-08, Business Combinations, Topic 805 ("Update 2021-08") In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Update 2021-08 to improve the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination. Under current GAAP, an acquirer generally recognizes assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination at fair value on the acquisition date.

ASU 2020-09, Debt, Topic 470 ("Update 2020-09") In October 2020, the FASB issued Update 2020-09 which supersedes various SEC paragraphs in Topic 470, pursuant to the issuance of the SEC Release to amend Rules 3-10 and 3-16 of Regulation S-X, as discussed below. In March 2020, the SEC amended Rules 3-10 and 3-16 of Regulation S-X, narrowing the circumstances that require separate financial statements of subsidiary issuers and guarantors and streamlines the alternative disclosures required in lieu of those separate statements. The final rule also allows us to replace the condensed consolidating financial information for our subsidiary guarantors and non-guarantors that had been provided in the footnotes of our previous filings with the simplified disclosure that is now included within our Management’s Discussion and Analysis. This rule was effective January 4, 2021 with early adoption permitted. The Company elected to early adopt this rule during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

The application of Update 2020-04 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

The Company adopted Update 2018-13 during first quarter 2020 and the impact of the adoption to its consolidated financial statements was not material. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently being studied by standard-setting organizations and certain regulatory agencies. Because of the tentative and preliminary nature of such proposed standards, we have not yet determined the effect, if any, that the implementation of such proposed standards would have on our consolidated financial statements.
