Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block] | 18. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements Overview Estimates of fair value for financial assets and liabilities are based on the framework established in the accounting guidance for fair value measurements. The framework defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value, and requires certain disclosures. The framework discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow) and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The framework utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:
| ● | Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
| ● | Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
| ● | Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, notes and interest receivable and other long-term assets related to Indian casino projects, cost method investments, accounts payable, contract acquisition costs payable and long-term debt. For the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, and current portion of contract acquisition costs payable and long-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short duration of these financial instruments. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt approximates the carrying value based upon the Company's expected borrowing rate for debt with similar remaining maturities and comparable risk. Balances Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The following table shows certain of the Company’s financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 29, 2013 (in thousands):
|  | Fair Value |  | Fair Value Hierarchy
Assets |  |  |  |  |
Commercial paper |  | $ | 19,987 |  | Level 1
Corporate bonds |  |  | 28,964 |  | Level 1
Balances Disclosed at Fair Value The following table shows certain of the Company’s financial instruments disclosed at estimated fair value as of December 30, 2012 (in thousands). There were no such financial instruments as of September 29, 2013.
|  | Carrying Value, net of Current Portion |  |  | Estimated Fair Value |  | Fair Value Hierarchy
Assets |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Shingle Springs notes and interest receivable |  | $ | 38,247 |  |  | $ | 49,920 |  | Level 3
Other assets related to Indian casino projects |  |  | 4,786 |  |  |  | 4,011 |  | Level 3
Shingle Springs notes and interest receivable - The significant inputs utilized in the calculation of the estimated fair value of the Shingle Springs notes and interest receivable as of December 30, 2012 included a discount rate and forecasted cash flows for the remaining duration of the management agreement with the Shingle Springs Tribe. Lakes estimated the fair value of the notes and interest receivable from the Shingle Springs Tribe as of December 30, 2012, to be approximately $49.9 million using a discount rate of 12.8% and a remaining estimated term of 97 months. The discount rate utilized in the estimation of the fair value of the notes and interest receivable was indexed on the actual yield of the Shingle Springs Tribal Gaming Authority Senior Notes (“Senior Notes”) due on June 15, 2015. Lakes believes it was reasonable to utilize the actual yield of the Senior Notes, which were traded on the open market, as a basis in the fair value estimation of the Shingle Springs notes and interest receivable because the Shingle Springs notes receivable and the Senior Notes had similar collateral. Lakes adjusted the actual yield by 2.3% to determine the discount rate because the Shingle Springs notes receivable were subordinated to the Senior Notes. The Shingle Springs notes and interest receivable were repaid during the three months ended September 29, 2013 (see note 3, Debt Termination Agreement with the Shingle Springs Tribe). Other assets related to Indian casino projects - These assets included financial instruments related to deferred management fees and interest due from the Shingle Springs Tribe and other receivables as of December 30, 2012 (see note 8, Intangible and Other Assets Related to Indian Casino Projects). The Company estimated the fair value of these financial instruments to be $4.0 million as of December 30, 2012 using a discount rate of 19.5%. Investments in unconsolidated investees - The fair value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated investees was not estimated as of September 29, 2013 or December 30, 2012, as there were no events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investments, and Lakes’ management determined that it was not practicable to estimate the fair value of the investments (see note 9, Investment in Rock Ohio Ventures, LLC and note 10, Investment in Dania Entertainment Holdings, LLC). Contract acquisition costs payable - The carrying amount of the liability approximates its estimated fair value of $4.6 million as of December 30, 2012. This liability was extinguished during the third quarter of 2013 (see note 13, Contract Acquisition Costs Payable).
