In 2017, we established definite-lived intangible assets of $4.7 million for customer relationships and $3.4 million for other intangibles related to the BetAmerica acquisition.
Amortization expense for definite-lived intangible assets was approximately $6.8 million in 2017, $9.4 million in 2016 and $10.5 million in 2015 and is classified in operating expense. We submitted payments of $2.3 million for 2017 and 2016 for annual license fees for Calder Casino, which are being amortized to expense over the annual license period.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets consist primarily of trademarks and state gaming licenses in Maine, Mississippi and Louisiana.
We performed our annual indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment analysis for 2017 which included an assessment of qualitative and quantitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair values of the indefinite-lived intangible assets are less than the carrying amounts.
During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company recorded a $4.7 million non-cash impairment charge related to our Bluff acquisition ($4.5 million for a trademark and $0.2 million related to customer relationships), which is included in our TwinSpires segment, and a $3.3 million non-cash impairment charge related to our Illinois Horseracing Equity Trust, which is included in our Racing segment. These impairments were due to changes in the business climate in the fourth quarter of 2017 that resulted in projected future cash flows being less than carrying value.
Future estimated aggregate amortization expense on existing definite-lived intangible assets for each of the next five fiscal years is as follows (in millions):
