In 2018, we established indefinite-lived intangible assets of $87.0 million for gaming rights and $8.3 million for trademarks related to the Ocean Downs/Saratoga Transaction. We also established definite-lived intangible assets of $2.3 million relating to the opening of Derby City Gaming and $0.1 million relating to the Ocean Downs/Saratoga Transaction for other intangibles.
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 $6.0 million in 2018, $6.8 million in 2017, and $9.4 million in 2016 and is classified in operating expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income. We submitted payments of $2.3 million in 2018 and 2017 for annual license fees for Calder, which are being amortized to expense over the annual license period.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets consist primarily of trademarks and state gaming rights in Maine, Maryland, Mississippi and Louisiana.
We performed our annual indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment analysis as of April 1, 2018, 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 amount. We concluded that the fair values of our indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeded their carrying value, and therefore step two of the assessment was not required.
During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company recorded a $4.7 million non-cash impairment charge related to our Bluff operations ($4.5 million for a trademark and $0.2 million related to customer relationships), which is included in our Online Wagering 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):
