Operating Segments [Abstract]

Operating Segments

5.   OPERATING SEGMENTS 

The Company has three reportable operating segments: horse racing, card casino, and food and beverage.  The horse racing segment primarily represents simulcast and live horse racing operations.  The Card Casino segment represents operations of Canterbury Park’s Card Casino, and the food and beverage 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 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the first quarter of 2015, the Company changed its reportable operating segment allocation and began allocating “Special Events” to Food and Beverage segment that were previously included in the Horse Racing segment. The Company has reclassified the corresponding prior period amounts to conform to the current period’s presentation

Depreciation, interest and income taxes are allocated to the segments, but no allocation is made to food and beverage for shared facilities.  However, the food and beverage 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):
