Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES L itigatio n The Company is a party to other various legal and administrative proceedings which have arisen in the ordinary course of its business. Estimated losses are accrued for these proceedings when the loss is probable and can be estimated. The current liability for the estimated losses associated with these proceedings is not material to the Company’s consolidated financial condition and those estimated losses are not expected to have a material impact on results of operations. Although the Company maintains what it believes is adequate insurance coverage to mitigate the risk of loss pertaining to covered matters, legal and administrative proceedings can be costly, time-consuming and unpredictable. Although no assurance can be given, the Company does not believe that the final outcome of these matters, including costs to defend itself in such matters, will have a material adverse effect on the company’s consolidated financial statements. Further, no assurance can be given that the amount or scope of existing insurance coverage will be sufficient to cover losses arising from such matters. New York Conveyance Agreement On November 17, 2025, the Company entered into a Conveyance Agreement (the “Conveyance Agreement”) with the City of New York (the “City”) and Bally’s New York Operating Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a subsidiary of the Company (“Bally’s New York”). Pursuant to the Conveyance Agreement, the City agreed to (i) dispose of certain parkland property interests to Bally’s New York (the “Development Parcel”), (ii) alienate certain parkland in order to grant Bally’s New York a non-exclusive easement over such lands for purposes of accessing the Development Parcel and (iii) discontinue certain lands as parkland and alienate and transfer jurisdiction of such lands to the City’s Department of Transportation for use as public roadways (the “Ring Road Parcel”) to facilitate access to the Development Parcel and so the Development Parcel may be used by the Company for a gaming facility. The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Conveyance Agreement occurred in February 2026 and was contingent upon, among other things, (i) Bally’s New York’s agreement to (a) make certain capital improvements to Ferry Point Park in the Bronx, NY with a fair market value of approximately $161 million and (b) to del iver security instruments to the City to secure the performance and completion of such capital improvements, (ii) the Company being awarded a downstate gaming facility license from the New York State Gaming Commission, (iii) payment by Bally’s New York to the City’s Department of Parks & Recreation of an administrative fee in the amount of $1 million, (iv) Bally’s New York’s agreement to pay for all costs and expenses for the development and mapping of the Ring Road Parcel and (v) Bally’s New York’s payment of real property transfer taxes with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Conveyance Agreement. New York Gaming License Commitments In December 2025, the Company was awarded one of New York State’s three downstate commercial casino licenses for its planned Bally’s Bronx project, requiring the Company to pay a $500 million licen se fee, which was paid in the first quarter of 2026, as well as post a bond or cash deposit equal to 5% of the total project investment. The Company must also implement its community benefit commitments, including periodic public reporting, and engage an independent Compliance Monitoring Team approved by the New York State Gaming Commission to oversee regulatory, anti‑money‑laundering, and community‑benefit compliance. Capital Expenditure Commitments Bally’s Twin River - Pursuant to the terms of the Regulatory Agreement in Rhode Island, the Company is committed to invest $100 million in its Rhode Island properties over the term of the master contract through June 30, 2043, including an expansion and the addition of new amenities at Bally’s Twin River. As of December 31, 2025 (Successor), approximately $40.5 million of the commitment remains. Bally’s Chicago - Pursuant to the Host Community Agreement with the City of Chicago, the Company’s indirect subsidiary is required to spend at least $1.34 billion on the design, construction and outfitting of the temporary casino and the permanent resort and casino. The actual cost of the development may exceed this minimum capital investment requirement. In addition, land acquisition costs and financing costs, among other types of costs, are not counted toward meeting this requirement. As of December 31, 2025 (Successor), approximately $800.0 million of this commitment remains. Bally’s New York - As noted above pursuant to the Conveyance Agreement, Bally’s New York must spend $161 million in capital improvements to Ferry Point Park to be completed within 7 years after closing. City of Chicago Guaranty In connection with the Host Community Agreement, entered into by Bally’s Chicago Operating Company, LLC (the “Developer”), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, the Company provided the City of Chicago with a performance guaranty whereby the Company agreed to have and maintain available financial resources in an amount reasonably sufficient to allow the Developer to complete its obligations under the Host Community Agreement. In addition, upon notice from the City of Chicago that the Developer has failed to perform various obligations under the Host Community Agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify the City of Chicago against any and all liability, claim or reasonable and documented expense the City of Chicago may suffer or incur by reason of any nonperformance of any of the Developer’s obligations. Bally’s Chicago Casino Fees Under the Illinois Gambling Act, the Company will be responsible to pay the Illinois Gaming Board a reconciliation fee payment three years after the date operations commenced (in a temporary or permanent facility) in an amount equal to 75% of the adjusted gross receipt (“AGR”) for the most lucrative 12-month period of operations, minus the amount equal to the initial payment per gaming position paid. Performance and other bonds Certain contracts require the Company to provide a surety bond as a guarantee of performance for the benefit of customers. These bonds give beneficiaries the right to obtain payment and/or performance from the issuer of the bond if certain specified events occur. In the case of performance bonds, such events include the Company’s failure to perform its required obligations under the applicable contracts. In general, the Company would only be liable for these guarantees in the event of breach of its obligations and failure to perform under each applicable contract, which the Company determined is not probable. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded as of December 31, 2025 (Successor) and 2024 (Predecessor) related to these bonds. Sponsorship Commitments As of December 31, 2025 (Successor), the Company has entered into multiple sponsorship agreements with various professional sports leagues and teams. These agreements commit a total of $114.9 million through 2036 and grant the Company rights to use official league marks for branding and promotions, among other benefits. Interactive Technology Commitments The Company has certain multi-year agreements with its various market access and content providers, as well as its online sports betting platform partners, that require the Company to pay variable fees based on revenue, with minimum annual guarantees. As of December 31, 2025 (Successor), the cumulative minimum obligation committed in these agreements is $32.1 million through 2029. Collective Bargaining Agreements As of December 31, 2025 (Successor), the Company had approximately 11,700 employees. A large number of our employees at our Casinos & Resorts properties within several US states are represented by a labor union and are subject to collective bargaining agreements with us. As of December 31, 2025 (Successor), the Company had 36 collective bargaining agreements covering approximately 3,679 employees. All collective bargaining agreements are in good standing and most have been renegotiated with terms between three and five years. Th ere can be no assurance that we will be able to extend or enter into replacement agreements. If the Company is able to extend or enter into repl acement agreements, there can be no assurance as to whether the terms will be on comparable terms to the existing agreements.
