Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract] |
Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated Affiliates | Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated Affiliates As of March 31, 2020, investments in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates primarily consisted of the Company’s 36% interest in Barstool Sports, its 50% investment in Kansas Entertainment, which is a JV with International Speedway that owns Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway, its 50% interest in Freehold Raceway, and its 50% joint venture with MAXXAM, Inc. (“MAXXAM”) that owns and operates racetracks in Texas. Investment in Barstool Sports In February 2020, we closed on our investment in Barstool Sports pursuant to a stock purchase agreement with Barstool Sports and certain stockholders of Barstool Sports, in which we purchased 36% (inclusive of 1% on a delayed basis) of the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Barstool Sports for a purchase price of $161.2 million. The purchase price consisted of $135.0 million in cash and $23.1 million in shares of a new class of non-voting convertible preferred stock of the Company (the “Series D Preferred Stock”) (discussed below). Furthermore, three years after the closing of the transaction (or earlier at our election), we will increase our ownership in Barstool Sports to approximately 50% by purchasing approximately $62 million worth of additional shares of Barstool Sports common stock, consistent with the implied valuation at the time of the initial investment, which was $450.0 million. With respect to the remaining Barstool Sports shares, we have immediately exercisable call rights, and the existing Barstool Sports stockholders have put rights exercisable beginning three years after closing, all based on a fair market value calculation at the time of exercise (subject to a cap of $650.0 million and a floor of 2.25 times the annualized revenue of Barstool Sports, all subject to various adjustments). As part of our investment, we recorded various forward arrangements with a fair value of $3.1 million. On February 20, 2020, the Company issued 883 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, to certain individual stockholders affiliated with Barstool Sports. 1/1,000 th of a share of Series D Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of Penn National Gaming common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Penn Common Stock”). Series D Preferred Stock will be entitled to participate equally and ratably in all dividends and distributions paid to holders of Penn Common Stock based on the number of shares of Penn Common Stock into which such Series D Preferred Stock could convert. Series D Preferred Stock is nonvoting stock. The Series D Preferred Stock issued to certain individual stockholders affiliated with Barstool Sports will be available for conversion into Penn Common Stock in tranches over the next four years as stipulated in the stock purchase agreement, with the first 20% tranche available for conversion into Penn Common Stock in the first quarter of 2021. As of March 31, 2020, none of the Series D Preferred Stock can be converted into Penn Common Stock. As a part of the stock purchase agreement, we entered into a commercial agreement that provides us with access to Barstool Sports’ customer list and free advertising on the Barstool Sports platform over the term of the agreement. The initial term of the commercial agreement is ten years and, unless earlier terminated and subject to certain exceptions, will automatically renew for three additional ten-year terms (a total of 40 years assuming all renewals are exercised). Upon consummation of the transaction, we recorded an amortizing intangible asset pertaining to the customer list of $2.4 million and a prepaid expense pertaining to the advertising in the amount of $17.5 million, of which $16.3 million is classified as long-term and included in “Other assets” within our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2020, our investment in Barstool Sports was $144.7 million, which is inclusive of $3.4 million of costs we incurred to close the transaction. We will record our proportionate share of Barstool Sports net income (loss) one quarter in arrears, which will commence in the second quarter of 2020. The Company determined that Barstool Sports qualified as a VIE as of March 31, 2020. The Company did not consolidate its investment in Barstool Sports as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as the Company determined that it did not qualify as the primary beneficiary of Barstool Sports either at the commencement date of its investment or for the subsequent period ended March 31, 2020, primarily as a result of the Company not having the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect Barstool Sports’ economic performance. Kansas Joint Venture As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our investment in Kansas Entertainment was $87.0 million and $90.8 million, respectively. The Company has determined that Kansas Entertainment does not qualify as a VIE. Using the guidance for entities that are not VIEs, the Company determined that it did not have a controlling financial interest in the JV, primarily as it did not have the ability to direct the activities of the JV that most significantly impacted the JV’s economic performance without the input of International Speedway. Therefore, the Company did not consolidate its investment in Kansas Entertainment as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. The following table provides summary income statement information of Kansas Entertainment for the comparative periods that are included within the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations:

Texas Joint Venture MAXXAM owns and operates the Sam Houston Race Park in Houston, Texas and the Valley Race Park in Harlingen, Texas, and holds a license for a racetrack in Austin, Texas. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, principally due to on-going negative operating results of these racetracks, we recorded an other-than-temporary impairment on our investment in the JV of $4.6 million, which is included in “Impairment losses” within our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
