Miami Valley Gaming
We acquired a 50% joint venture in Miami Valley Gaming ("MVG"), which has a harness racetrack and video lottery terminal ("VLT") gaming facility in Lebanon, Ohio, with Delaware North Companies Gaming & Entertainment Inc. ("DNC") in 2012. Total consideration was $60.0 million, of which $10.0 million was funded at closing with the remainder funded through a $50.0 million note payable with a six year term effective upon the commencement of gaming operations.
Since both we and DNC have participating rights over MVG, and both must consent to MVG's operating, investing and financing decisions, we account for MVG using the equity method of accounting.
The joint venture's long-term debt consists of a $50.0 million secured note payable quarterly over 6 years through November 2019 at a 5.0% interest rate for which it has funded $27.1 million in principal repayments. We received distributions from MVG totaling $4.0 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016.
Summarized below is financial information for our equity investment:

Saratoga
On October 2, 2015, we completed the acquisition of a 25% equity investment in Saratoga Casino Holdings LLC ("SCH") which owns Saratoga Casino and Raceway ("Saratoga's New York facility") in Saratoga Springs, New York, for $24.5 million from Saratoga Harness Racing, Inc. ("SHRI"). Saratoga's New York facility has a casino with approximately 1,700 VLTs, a 1/2-mile harness racetrack with a racing simulcast center, a 117-room hotel, dining facilities and a 3,000 square-foot multi-functional event space. Saratoga's New York facility has a 50% interest in a joint venture with DNC to manage the Gideon Putnam Hotel and Resort. We signed a five-year management agreement with SCH to manage Saratoga's New York facility for which we receive management fee revenue.
On November 21, 2016, we completed the acquisition of a 25% equity investment in Saratoga Casino Black Hawk in Black Hawk, Colorado ("Saratoga's Colorado facility") for $6.5 million from SHRI. Saratoga's Colorado facility has a casino with approximately 500 slot machines, seven table games, three lounges and two dining facilities.
Ocean Downs
In August 2016, we signed a limited liability company operating agreement with SCH, with each entity having a 50% interest, and formed Old Bay Gaming and Racing LLC ("Old Bay"). The Old Bay agreement provides both the Company and SCH equal participating rights, and both entities must consent to Old Bay's operating, investing and financing decisions.
On January 3, 2017, Old Bay acquired all of the equity interests of Ocean Enterprise 589 LLC, Ocean Downs LLC and Racing Services LLC (collectively, "Ocean Downs"). The Company's portion of the initial equity investment in Ocean Downs was $24.0 million. Ocean Downs, located near Ocean City, Maryland, owns and operates VLTs at the Casino at Oceans Downs and conducts harness racing at Ocean Downs Racetrack. The Company's 25% interest in SCH provides an additional 12.5% interest, resulting in an effective 62.5% interest in Ocean Downs. Since both the Company and SCH have participating rights and both must consent to Old Bay's operating, investing and financing decisions, the Company accounts for Ocean Downs using the equity method of accounting.
