Rocky Gap Lease

The Company entered into a ground lease with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources for approximately 270 acres in the Rocky Gap State Park in which Rocky Gap is situated. The lease expires in 2052, with an option to renew for an additional 20 years.

Under the lease, rent payments are due and payable annually in the amount of $0.3 million plus 0.9% of any gross operator share of gaming revenue (as defined in the lease) in excess of $0.3 million, and $0.2 million plus any surcharge revenue in excess of $0.2 million. Surcharge revenue consists of amounts billed to and collected from guests and are $3.00 per room per night and $1.00 per round of golf. Rent expense associated with the lease was $0.3 million (net of surcharge revenue of $0.1 million) during each of the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016.

Gold Town Casino Leases

The Company’s Gold Town Casino is located on four leased parcels of land, comprising approximately nine acres in the aggregate, in Pahrump, Nevada. The leases are with unrelated third parties and have various expiration dates beginning in 2026 (for the parcel on which the Company’s main casino building is located, which the Company leases from a competitor). Rent expense associated with these leases was $0.7 million, $0.5 million, $0.6 million, respectively, during each of the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016. The Company subleases approximately two of the acres to an unrelated third party. Rental income during the year ended December 31, 2018 was $0.2 million and rental income during each of the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was less than $0.1 million related to the sublease of the two acres in Pahrump, Nevada.

Capital Lease Financing Agreement

In June 2018, the Company entered into a capital lease financing arrangement for external and internal lighting and renovations at The Strat. Construction was completed and assets put into service in the fourth quarter of 2018. The total amount to be paid is $3.4 million, of which $2.1 million is financed over a 36-month period and outstanding as of December 31, 2018.

Other Operating Leases

The Company leases its branded tavern locations, office headquarters building, equipment and vehicles under noncancelable operating leases that are not subject to contingent rents. The original terms of the current leases for the Company’s branded tavern locations range from one to 15 years with various renewal options from one to 15 years. The Company has operating leases with related parties for one of its tavern locations and its office headquarters building. The lease for the Company’s office headquarters building expires in December 2030. A portion of the office headquarters building is sublet to a related party. Rental income during each of the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 was less than $0.1 million for the sublet portion of the office headquarters building. See Note 15, Related Party Transactions, for more detail. Slot placement contracts in the form of space agreements are also accounted for as operating leases. Under space agreements, the Company pays fixed monthly rental fees for the right to install, maintain and operate its slots at business locations, which are recorded in gaming expenses.

Operating lease rental expense, which is calculated on a straight-line basis, net of surcharge revenue, is as follows:
