Goodwill, the excess of the purchase price of acquiring MTR Gaming over the fair market value of the net assets acquired, in the amount of $66.8 million was recorded as of December 31, 2016 and 2015.

Included in gaming licenses is the Eldorado Shreveport gaming license recorded at $20.6 million at December 31, 2016 and 2015. The license represents an intangible asset acquired from the purchase of a gaming entity located in a gaming jurisdiction where competition is limited, such as when only a limited number of gaming operators are allowed to operate in the jurisdiction. Also included in gaming licenses are the gaming and racing licenses of Mountaineer, Presque Isle Downs and Scioto Downs totaling $461.5 million at December 31, 2016 and 2015. These gaming license rights are not subject to amortization as the Company has determined that they have an indefinite useful life.

Trade names related to the MTR Merger are amortized on a straight‑line basis over a 3.5 year useful life. Trade names related to the Reno Acquisition are non-amortizable, and loyalty programs are amortized on a straight‑line basis over a one year useful life. Amortization expense with respect to trade names and the loyalty program amounted to $1.9 million and $2.6 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2016, which is included in depreciation and amortization in the consolidated statements of operations. Such amortization expense is expected to be $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 and $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.

The Company’s indefinite-lived gaming licenses and trade names are reviewed no less than annually or when events or circumstances indicate the carrying value might exceed the market value to determine if there has been an impairment in the recorded value.

There were no impairments of goodwill, gaming licenses and trade names recorded in 2016, 2015 or 2014.

Non-operating real property totaled $14.2 million and $16.3 million at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company sold land (non-operating) for $2.1 million at Presque Isle Downs during the year ended December 31, 2016. This transaction resulted in a $0.1 million gain net of costs.
