Operating Segments [Abstract]

Operating Segments

5.   OPERATING SEGMENTS

The Company hasthree reportable operating segments:  horse racing, Card Casino, and concessions.  The horse racing segment primarily represents simulcast and live horse racing operations and the operation of an RV park.  The Card Casino segment represents operations of Canterbury Park’s Card Casino, and the concessions segment 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 2012 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.
