Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block] | NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Wilton Rancheria Agreements In 2012, the Company entered into a management agreement with Wilton Rancheria. The management agreement provides for us to manage the gaming facility upon opening for a period of seven years and receive a monthly management fee for our services based on the monthly performance of the gaming facility. The management fee of $23.7 million and $21.0 million for our management services for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $72.6 million and $64.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, is paid monthly and recorded in management fee revenue on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Master Lease Agreements The Company leases the facilities associated with the Ameristar Kansas City, Ameristar St. Charles, Belterra Resort and Belterra Park gaming entertainment properties (“Master Leases”), with the initial term commencing on October 15, 2018 and ending on April 30, 2026, with options for renewal. The term of the Master Leases may be extended for five separate renewal terms of five years each. During the first quarter 2025, the Company exercised its right to extend the Master Leases for the first renewal term. This first renewal extends the Master Leases through April 30, 2031. The monthly lease payment during the initial term that consists of: (i) the building base rent, plus (ii) the land base rent, plus (iii) the percentage rent, each as defined in the Master Leases, continues during the first renewal term. The exercise of the first renewal term was previously assumed as the reasonably certain lease period at the Master Leases commencement date. Norfolk Agreements On October 21, 2024, the Company, the Pamunkey Indian Tribe ("Tribe"), the Pamunkey Indian Tribal Gaming Authority ("PITGA"), and its wholly owned subsidiary, Golden Eagle Consulting II, LLC ("GEC") entered into agreements, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company would, subject to the purchase of land to develop and build a commercial casino and hotel development in Norfolk, Virginia ("Norfolk Casino"), (i) receive from PITGA an exclusive option to purchase a percentage of membership interests of GEC, (ii) make advance payments to PITGA and GEC, and (iii) become developer and manager of the Norfolk Casino. Pursuant to the October 21, 2024, agreements between the Company and the Tribe, PITGA, and GEC, on February 14, 2025, the Norfolk Casino land was purchased and the Company entered into agreements with the Tribe, PITGA and GEC to develop and manage the Norfolk Casino. GEC was previously formed to develop and operate the Norfolk Casino and has no assets or operations, other than the exclusive right to a gaming license for a casino development in Norfolk, Virginia. The development agreement with PITGA and GEC provides for the Company to fund and manage the development of the Norfolk Casino ("Norfolk Development Agreement"). The management agreement with PITGA and GEC provides for the Company to manage the operations of the developed Norfolk Casino ("Norfolk Management Agreement"), including both the transitional casino expected to open in November 2025, and the full casino resort expected to open in late 2027, both pending receipt of final regulatory approvals. Through the Norfolk Management Agreement, the Company is responsible for funding any operational losses and is entitled to significant economic benefits from the developed casino’s operations. The Company has determined that GEC is a VIE and that the Company has variable interests in GEC through its exclusive option to purchase a percentage of membership interests of GEC, the Norfolk Development Agreement and the Norfolk Management Agreement. As the Company has the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of GEC, including development and management of the Norfolk Casino, and the right to receive benefits or the obligation to absorb losses that could be potentially significant to GEC, the Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary of GEC and that GEC must be consolidated with the Company’s financial results. The Company does not have the power to direct the Tribe or PITGA’s activities, nor is it responsible for economic losses or have rights to economic benefits of the Tribe or PITGA. The Company anticipates incurring aggregate expenditures in connection with the Norfolk Casino project of approximately $750.0 million. Commitments As of September 30, 2025, other than the Master Lease Agreements and Norfolk Agreements discussed above, there have been no material changes to our commitments described under Note 9, Commitments and Contingencies, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on February 21, 2025. Contingencies Legal Matters We are parties to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We believe that all pending claims, if adversely decided, would not have a material effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
