Note 6 - Investment in Rock Ohio Ventures, LLC [Line Items] |
Cost-method Investments, Description [Text Block] | 6. Investment in Rock Ohio Ventures, LLC As of December 28, 2014, Lakes had a 10% ownership interest in Rock Ohio Ventures, LLC (“Rock Ohio Ventures”), a privately-held company, that owned 80% of the Horseshoe Casino Cleveland in Cleveland, Ohio; the Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati in Cincinnati, Ohio; the Thistledown Racino in North Randall, Ohio; and Turfway Park, a thoroughbred horseracing track located in Florence, Kentucky. This investment was accounted for using the cost method since Lakes owned less than 20% of Rock Ohio Ventures and did not have the ability to significantly influence the operating and financial decisions of the entity. Lakes invested a total of $21.0 million in Rock Ohio Ventures. This investment was determined to have experienced an other-than-temporary impairment and was reduced to its estimated fair value of zero during the third quarter of 2014. As a result, Lakes recognized an impairment loss of $21.0 million during the third quarter of 2014. Effective January 25, 2015, Lakes sold all of its interest in Rock Ohio Ventures to DG Ohio Ventures, LLC for approximately $0.8 million. Because this investment had been written down to zero, Lakes recognized a gain on sale of cost method investment of approximately $0.8 million during the first quarter of 2015. This cost method investment was evaluated, on at least a quarterly basis, for potential other-than-temporary impairment, or when an event or change in circumstances occurred that may have had a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment. Lakes monitored this investment for impairment by considering all information available to the Company including the economic environment of the markets served by the properties Rock Ohio Ventures owns; market conditions including existing and potential future competition; recent or expected changes in the regulatory environment; operational performance and financial results; known changes in the objectives of Rock Ohio Venture’s management; known or expected changes in ownership of Rock Ohio Ventures; and any other known significant factors relating to the business underlying the investment. As part of the review of operational performance and financial results for considering if there were indications of impairment, the Company utilized financial statements of Rock Ohio Ventures and its owned gaming properties to assess the investee’s ability to operate from a financial standpoint. The Company also analyzed Rock Ohio Ventures’ cash flows and working capital to determine if the Company’s investment in this entity had experienced an other-than-temporary impairment. As part of this process, the Company analyzed actual historical results compared to forecast and had periodic discussions with management of Rock Ohio Ventures to obtain additional information related to the Company’s investment in Rock Ohio Ventures to determine whether any events have occurred that would necessitate further analysis of the Company’s recorded investment in Rock Ohio Ventures for impairment. Based on these procedures, Lakes determined that the Company’s investment in Rock Ohio Ventures experienced an other-than-temporary impairment during the third quarter of 2014. Based on information provided by Rock Ohio Ventures, Lakes determined that there was significant uncertainty surrounding the recovery of Lakes’ investment in Rock Ohio Ventures. The Ohio gaming properties had not performed as expected which led to forecasted potential working capital requirement issues that did not exist prior to the third quarter of 2014, based on information previously available to Lakes. As a result, Lakes determined that an other-than-temporary impairment had occurred and reduced the carrying value of the investment in Rock Ohio Ventures to its estimated fair value of zero during the third quarter of 2014. The fair value of the Company’s cost method investment in Rock Ohio Ventures was estimated to be approximately $0.8 million as of December 28, 2014 based on the January 2015 selling price of this investment. See note 14, Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements, for further discussion of the calculation of the fair value of the investment in Rock Ohio Ventures as of December 28, 2014.

Note 6 - Investment in Rock Ohio Ventures, LLC [Line Items] |
Cost-method Investments, Description [Text Block] | 7. Investment in Dania Entertainment Holdings, LLC On May 22, 2013, Dania Entertainment Center, LLC (“DEC”) purchased the Dania Jai Alai property located in Dania Beach, Florida, from Boyd Gaming Corporation, for $65.5 million. As part of a previous plan to purchase the property, during 2011 Lakes loaned $4.0 million to DEC (the “Loan”) which was written down to zero during the third quarter of 2011 when the acquisition did not close. During 2013, the Loan was exchanged for a 20% ownership interest in Dania Entertainment Holdings, LLC (“DEH”). The Company accounted for its investment in DEH as a cost method investment. At the time the Loan was exchanged for an equity investment in DEH, Lakes determined its value remained at zero due to the negative cash flows of the existing operations of the Dania Jai Alai property as well as uncertainty surrounding completion of the project. Therefore, there was no value recorded for this investment at the time the Loan was exchanged for an equity investment in DEH. On April 21, 2014, Lakes entered into a redemption agreement with DEH that resulted in DEH redeeming Lakes’ 20% ownership in DEH in exchange for DEH granting to Lakes 5% ownership in DEC. Concurrently, Lakes entered into an agreement with ONDISS Corp. (“ONDISS”) to sell its ownership in DEC for approximately $2.6 million. Lakes received $1.0 million on April 21, 2014 in exchange for 40% of its ownership. On October 17, 2014, ONDISS paid the entire remaining amount due to Lakes at a discounted amount of approximately $1.4 million. Upon receipt of such payment, Lakes transferred its remaining ownership in DEC to ONDISS. As a result, Lakes recognized a gain on sale of cost method investment of $2.4 million during the year ended December 28, 2014.

- Definition The entire disclosure for investments accounted for under the cost-method. The carrying amount of such investments may be adjusted, for example, distributions in excess of cost (return of capital) or for other-than-temporary impairments. The cost method and lower-of-cost or market, an adaptation of the cost method, is generally followed for most investments in noncontrolled corporations, in some corporate joint ventures, and to a lesser extent in unconsolidated subsidiaries in which the entity does not have the ability to exercise significant influence. + References Reference 1: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 325 -SubTopic 20 -Section 50 -Paragraph 1 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6872867&loc=d3e40691-111596 + Details
