Investment In and Advances To Unconsolidated Affiliate [Abstract] |
Investments in and Advances to Affiliates, Schedule of Investments [Text Block] | NOTE 7—INVESTMENT IN AND ADVANCES TO UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES Miami Valley Gaming Joint Venture During March 2012, the Company entered into a 50% joint venture with Delaware North Companies Gaming & Entertainment Inc. (“DNC”) to develop a new harness racetrack and video lottery terminal (“VLT”) gaming facility in Lebanon, Ohio. Through the joint venture agreement, the Company and DNC formed a new company, Miami Valley Gaming, LLC (“MVG”), to manage both the Company’s and DNC’s interests in the development and operation of the racetrack and VLT gaming facility. On December 21, 2012, MVG completed the purchase of the harness racing licenses and certain assets held by Lebanon Trotting Club Inc. and Miami Valley Trotting Inc. ("MVG Sellers") for total consideration of $60.0 million, of which $10.0 million was funded at closing with the remainder funded through a $50.0 million note payable with a six year term effective upon the commencement of gaming operations. In addition, there is a potential contingent consideration payment of $10.0 million based on the financial performance of the facility during the seven-year period after gaming operations commence. On December 12, 2013, the new facility opened in Lebanon, Ohio on a 120-acre site. The facility includes a 5/8-mile harness racing track and an 186,000-square-foot gaming facility with approximately 1,580 VLTs. MVG invested $204.6 million in the new facility, including a $50.0 million license fee to the Ohio Lottery Commission. During the twelve months ended December 30, 2014, the Company funded $14.6 million in capital contributions to the joint venture bringing the Company's total investment to $105.0 million. Since both DNC and the Company have participating rights over MVG, and both must consent to MVG's operating, investing and financing decisions, the Company accounts for MVG using the equity method. Summarized financial information for MVG is comprised of the following (in thousands):
