Goodwill Disclosure [Text Block]
8.           The Company accounts for its goodwill resulting from its purchase of American Gaming and Electronics, Inc. (AGE) in conformity with GAAP USA. GAAP USA requires that goodwill not be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually, which the Company does annually in the fourth quarter. The Company determined that there was no impairment of goodwill in 2011 and 2010 by utilization of a discounted cash flow analysis.  The model utilizes numerous assumptions, including but not limited to future sales estimates of AGEs traditional products and of Video Gaming Terminals (VGTs) related to the new Illinois VGT business.  Due to the nature of such estimates, there is no certainty in future periods that the Fair Value of the American Gaming & Electronics reporting unit will exceed its carrying value.
