Note 6—Acquisitions and Dispositions
Tropicana Las Vegas
On April 16, 2020, we sold the real estate assets associated with the operations of Tropicana to GLPI in exchange for rent credits of $307.5 million, and utilized the rent credits to pay rent under our existing Master Leases and the Meadows Lease, (as defined and discussed in Note 12, “Leases”), beginning in May 2020. Contemporaneous with the sale, the Company entered into the Tropicana Lease, (as defined and discussed in Note 12, “Leases”). We recognized a gain on this transaction of $29.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2020, which is included in “General and administrative” within our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
On January 11, 2022, PENN entered into a definitive purchase agreement to sell its outstanding equity interest in Tropicana, which has the gaming license and operates the Tropicana, to Bally’s Corporation (“Bally’s”). The transaction closed on September 26, 2022.
Morgantown
On October 1, 2020, we sold the land underlying Hollywood Casino Morgantown (“Morgantown”) to GLPI in exchange for rent credits of $30.0 million. Contemporaneous with the sale, the Company entered into a triple net lease with GLPI for the land underlying Morgantown (as defined and discussed in Note 12, “Leases”).
As of December 31, 2020, we utilized all of the rent credits pertaining to the Tropicana and Morgantown transactions which totaled $337.5 million (see Note 12, “Leases”).
HitPoint Inc. and LuckyPoint Inc.
On May 11, 2021, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of HitPoint Inc. and Lucky Point Inc. (collectively, “Hitpoint”). The purchase price totaled $12.7 million, consisting of $6.2 million in cash, $3.5 million of the Company’s common stock, and a $3.0 million contingent liability. The contingent liability is payable in annual installments over three years, through a combination of cash and the Company’s common stock, and is based on achievement of certain performance factors. The purchase price allocation resulted in a recognition of $8.8 million of goodwill, $4.0 million in developed technology which is included in “Other intangible assets, net” within the Consolidated Balance Sheets, along with other miscellaneous operating assets and liabilities. The developed technology is an amortizing intangible asset with an assigned useful life of five years, and was valued using the multi-period excess earnings method, a variation of the income approach, which is supported by observable market data for peer companies.
Hollywood Casino Perryville
On July 1, 2021, we completed the acquisition of the operations of Hollywood Casino Perryville (“Perryville”), from GLPI for a purchase price of $39.4 million, including working capital adjustments. The purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of a $12.7 million gaming license asset and a $1.0 million customer relationship asset, both of which are included in “Other intangible assets, net” within our Consolidated Balance Sheets, $9.2 million of goodwill, $8.2 million of tangible long-term assets, comprised primarily of property and equipment, and $8.3 million of various operating assets and liabilities. Simultaneous with the closing, we entered into a lease with GLPI for the real estate assets associated with Perryville for initial annual rent of $7.8 million per year subject to escalation.
The gaming license is an indefinite-lived intangible asset, and the customer relationships is an amortizing intangible asset with a useful life of two years. The Company valued (i) the gaming license using the Greenfield Method, a form of the income approach; (ii) the customer relationships using the “with-and-without” method, a form of the income approach, and (iii) the property and equipment and other various operating assets and liabilities primarily utilizing the cost approach. All valuation methods of the income approach are supported by observable market data for peer casino operator companies.
For the period beginning July 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 Perryville’s revenue and net income included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations were $46.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively.
Sam Houston Race Park and Valley Race Park
On August 1, 2021, we completed the acquisition of the remaining 50% ownership interest in the Sam Houston Race Park in Houston, Texas, the Valley Race Park in Harlingen, Texas, and a license to operate a racetrack in Austin, Texas (collectively, “Sam Houston”), from PM Texas Holdings, LLC for a purchase price of $57.8 million, comprised of $42.0 million in cash and $15.8 million of the Company’s common stock, which was allocated to property and equipment. In conjunction with the acquisition, we recorded a gain of $29.9 million on our equity method investment, which is included in “Other” within our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The property and equipment assets were valued using a combination of the market and cost approaches.
Score Media and Gaming Inc.
On October 19, 2021, we acquired 100% of Score Media and Gaming, Inc. (“theScore”) for a purchase price of approximately $2.1 billion. The acquisition provides us with the technology, resources and audience reach to accelerate our media and sports betting strategy across North America. Under the terms of the agreement, 1317774 B.C. Ltd. (the “Purchaser”), an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of PENN, acquired each of the issued and outstanding theScore shares (other than those held by PENN and its subsidiaries) for US$17.00 per share in cash consideration, totaling $922.8 million, and either 0.2398 of a share of common stock, par value $0.01 of PENN common stock or, if validly elected, 0.2398 of an exchangeable share in the capital of the Purchaser (each whole share, an “Exchangeable Share”), totaling 12,319,340 shares of PENN common stock and 697,539 Exchangeable Shares for approximately $1.0 billion. Each Exchangeable Share will be exchangeable into one share of PENN common stock at the option of the holder, subject to certain adjustments. In addition,
Purchaser may redeem all outstanding Exchangeable Shares in exchange for shares of PENN common stock at any time following the fifth anniversary of the closing, or earlier under certain circumstances. See Note 15, “Stockholders’ Equity” for further information.
The Company held shares of theScore common stock prior to the acquisition and, as such, the acquisition date estimated fair value of this previously held investment was a component of the purchase consideration. Based on the acquisition date fair value of this investment of $58.9 million, the Company recorded a gain of $2.9 million related to remeasurement of the equity security investment immediately prior to the acquisition date which was included in “Other” within our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The following table reflects the allocation of the purchase price to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the excess recorded as goodwill. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we made the following purchase price measurement period adjustment:

The Company used the income, or cost approach for the valuation, as appropriate, and used valuation inputs in these models and analyses that were based on market participant assumptions. Market participants are considered to be buyers and sellers unrelated to the Company in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
Acquired identifiable intangible assets consist of gaming technology, media technology, tradename, advertising relationships, customer relationships, and a re-acquired right. Tradename is an indefinite-lived intangible asset. All other intangible assets are definite-lived with assigned useful lives primarily ranging from 1-7 years. The re-acquired right intangible asset was assigned a 17.8 year useful life based on the remaining term of a pre-acquisition market access contract between PENN and theScore.
Goodwill, none of which is deductible under the Canadian Income Tax Act, is approximately 81.2% of the net assets acquired and represents synergies, incremental market share capture and expansion into new markets not existing as of the acquisition date, and future technology development.
The following valuation approaches were utilized to determine the fair value of each intangible asset:
Intangible AssetValuation Approach
Gaming technology Relief-from-royalty (variation of income approach)
Media technology Replacement cost
TradenameRelief-from-royalty (variation of income approach)

For the period beginning October 19, 2021 through December 31, 2021 theScore’s revenue and net loss included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations were $7.5 million and $11.9 million, respectively.
