Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Information Segment Information
We have five reportable segments: Northeast, South, West, Midwest, and Interactive. Our gaming and racing properties are grouped by geographic location, and each is viewed as an operating segment with the exception of our two properties in Jackpot, Nevada, which are viewed as one operating segment. We consider our combined VGT operations, by state, to be separate operating segments.
The retail segments primarily generate revenue from gaming operations (such as slot machines and table games), food and beverage offerings, and hotel visitation. The accounting policies of our retail segments are the same as those described in our significant accounting policies. See Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation” for further information.
The Interactive segment includes all of our online gaming operations, management of retail sports betting, and media operations. The accounting policies of our Interactive segment are the same as those described in our significant accounting policies. See Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation” for further information.
The Other category, included in the tables to reconcile the segment information to the consolidated information, consists of our stand-alone racing operations, namely Sanford-Orlando Kennel Club, Sam Houston and Valley Race Park, the Company’s joint venture interests in Freehold Raceway (which ceased operations on December 28, 2024), and our management contract for Retama Park Racetrack. The Other category also includes corporate overhead expenses, which consist of certain expenses, such as: payroll, professional fees, travel expenses, and other general and administrative expenses that have not otherwise been allocated.
The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer and President. Adjusted EBITDAR (as defined below) is our measure of segment profit or loss for each segment and is utilized by the CODM as follows:
•within the annual budget and forecasting process when making decisions about the allocation of operating and capital resources to each segment;
•to evaluate monthly budget-to-actual variances which are used in assessing segment performance;
•to determine whether to reinvest profits into the segment or into other parts of the Company, such as new development projects, return generating investments in our retail operations and Interactive segment; and
•to determine various capital allocation initiatives such as mergers and acquisitions, share repurchases, and delevering.
The tables below provide information about our revenues, expenses, and Adjusted EBITDAR for each reportable segment, and provide a reconciliation to net income (loss).
