Operating Segments [Abstract]

Operating Segments

5.	OPERATING SEGMENTS
	During the first six months of 2012 and 2011, the Company had three reportable operating segments: horse racing, Card Casino, and concessions. The horse racing segment primarily represents simulcast and live horse racing operations. The Card Casino segment primarily represents operations of Canterbury Park's Card Casino, and the concessions segment primarily represents food and beverage operations provided during simulcast and live racing, in the Card Casino, and during special events. The Company's reportable operating segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because the segments differ in the nature of the products and services provided as well as processes to produce those products and services. The Minnesota Racing Commission regulates the horse racing and Card Casino segments.
	The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in the 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
	Depreciation, interest expense and income taxes are allocated to the segments but no allocation is made to concessions for shared facilities. However, the concessions segment pays approximately 25% of gross revenues earned on live racing and special event days to the horse racing segment for use of the facilities.

The following tables provide information about the Company's operating segments (in 000's):
