Leases [Abstract] |
Leases | Note 9 – Leases Company as Lessee The Company has operating and finance leases for offices, taverns, land, vehicles, slot machines, and equipment. In addition, slot placement contracts in the form of space lease agreements at chain stores are accounted for as operating leases. Under chain store space lease 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. The leases, excluding land, have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 28 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for an additional 5 to 15 years. Some equipment leases and space lease agreements include options to terminate the lease with 60 days’ to 1 year’s notice. The Company leases slot machines from gaming equipment manufacturers under short-term agreements. Most of the slot machine leases have variable rent structures, with amounts determined based on the performance of those machines. Certain others are short-term in nature, with fixed payment amounts. The Company has an operating ground lease with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources for approximately 270 acres in the Rocky Gap State Park on which Rocky Gap is situated. The Company leases approximately 20 acres of land in Laughlin, Nevada for the Laughlin Event Center and four parcels of land in Pahrump, Nevada on which the Gold Town Casino is located. The Company leases approximately 4.5 acres of undeveloped land in Carson City. Upon the adoption of Topic 842, the Company wrote off the associated ROU asset for this land lease of $9 million to its beginning balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2019. The Company is also lessee for nine taverns and locations subject to space lease agreements that it does not plan to develop, operate, or sub-lease. The Company wrote off the associated ROU asset for these eleven leases of $3 million to its beginning balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2019. The Company leases one of its tavern locations and its office headquarters building from a related party. See Note 12, Related Party Transactions, for more detail. The current and long-term obligations under finance leases are included in “current portion of long-term debt, net and finance leases” and “long-term debt, net and finance leases”, respectively.
