Hollywood Casino St. Louis Tornado

        On May 31, 2013, Hollywood Casino St. Louis sustained damage as a result of a tornado and was forced to close for approximately fourteen hours. At the time of the tornado, the Company carried property insurance coverage with a limit of $600 million for both property damage and business interruption applicable to this event. This coverage included a $2.5 million property damage deductible and two days of business interruption deductible for the peril of a tornado.

        The Company received $8.7 million in insurance proceeds related to the tornado at Hollywood Casino St. Louis, with $5.7 million received in 2014 and $3.0 million received in 2013. As the insurance recovery amount exceeded the net book value of assets believed to be damaged or destroyed and other costs incurred as a result of the tornado at Hollywood Casino St. Louis in 2013, the Company recorded a gain of $5.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2014. During the third quarter of 2014, the insurance claim for the tornado at Hollywood Casino St. Louis was settled and no further proceeds will be received.

        During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded a $2.5 million loss for the property damage insurance deductible, which was partially offset by a $2.4 million gain recorded for proceeds received that exceeded the net book value of assets believed to be damaged or destroyed and other costs incurred as a result of the tornado at Hollywood Casino St. Louis.

        At the time of the flood, the Company carried property insurance coverage with a flood limit of $300 million for both property damage and business interruption applicable to this event. This coverage included a $5 million property damage and two day business interruption deductible for the peril of flood.

        The Company received $15.4 million in insurance proceeds related to the flood at Hollywood Casino Tunica, with $8.4 million received during the year ended December 31, 2012.
