Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	NOTE 6 — INCOME AND OTHER TAXES Income Taxes The income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 reflects a $3.1 million benefit resulting from the early adoption of ASU 2016-09 as described in Note 2.

We recognize accrued interest from uncertain income tax benefits in our income tax provision, while penalties are accrued in selling, general and administrative expense. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we did not record any interest expense related to uncertain income tax benefits. As of September 30, 2016, we had gross uncertain tax benefits of $2.9 million. If these benefits had been recognized, there would have been a $2.3 million decrease to annual income tax expense. Other Taxes During the three months ended September 30, 2016, we accrued a liability and recognized a $2.6 million selling, general and administrative expense related to potential liability for the untimely submission of informational tax returns related to the years 2012 to 2015 for certain casino customers. We have not received any notification of a potential penalty nor remitted any payment, but believe an expense is probable. On July 18, 2016, we were notified of an Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") matter under review in which we are potentially liable for non-filing of federal withholding tax information for certain TwinSpires customers, subsequent to the acquisition of YouBet in 2010. The potential civil penalty plus interest approximates $1.6 million. We believe that we have a strong case for the abatement of the potential penalty, and since it is not deemed probable that this amount will be paid, an accrual was not recorded at September 30, 2016.
