We also lease totalisator equipment, audio/visual equipment and operate certain facilities that are partially contingent on handle revenue, bandwidth usage or race days. Total annual rent expense for contingent lease payments, including totalisator equipment, audio/visual equipment, land and facilities, was approximately $3.5 million in 2015, $3.6 million in 2014 and $3.7 million in 2013. Our total rent expense for all operating leases, including the contingent lease payments, was $25.4 million in 2015, $20.2 million in 2014 and $20.2 million in 2013. During 2015, the increase in total rent expense primarily reflects a full year of Big Fish Games lease expense.

In 2002, as part of financing improvements to the Churchill Downs facility, we transferred title of the Churchill Downs facility to the City of Louisville, Kentucky and leased back the facility. Subject to the terms of the lease, we can re-acquire the facility at any time for $1.00.
