The Company had goodwill of $114.4 million as of December 31, 2025, of which $28.1 million is deductible for tax purposes.
The following are the Company’s acquisitions for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, that resulted in the recording of goodwill. See Note 10, Business and Asset Acquisitions, for more information on how the amount of goodwill for the respective acquisitions was calculated.
On December 2, 2024, the Company acquired Fairmount Park - Casino & Racing (“Fairmount”) for total stock consideration of $40.5 million, of which $12.0 million was initially recorded as goodwill. In July 2025, there was a reduction in goodwill related to the acquisition of Fairmount due to the cancellation of 173,262 previously-issued shares that were being held in escrow due to revisions to the closing statement. The cancellation of these shares resulted in a $2.0 million reduction in the fair value of the consideration paid to acquire Fairmount. As such, total goodwill related to the Fairmount acquisition was reduced to $10.0 million.
On November 1, 2024, the Company completed its acquisition of Toucan Gaming, a distributed gaming operator in the state of Louisiana, for total cash consideration of $41.6 million, of which $2.1 million was initially recorded as goodwill. In November 2025, there was an increase in goodwill related to the acquisition of Toucan Gaming due to working capital adjustments. These adjustments resulted in $0.2 million increase in the fair value of the consideration paid to acquire Toucan. As such, total goodwill related to the Toucan Gaming acquisition increased to $2.3 million.
On September 19, 2024, the Company completed its acquisition of Lucky 7’s Beverages, LLC (“Lucky 7s”), a hospitality location in Billings, Montana, for a total purchase price of $0.8 million, of which $0.1 million was recorded as goodwill.

The Company conducted its annual goodwill impairment test on October 1, 2025. The Company conducted a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the goodwill was impaired. Under the qualitative assessment, the Company considered both positive and negative factors, including macroeconomic conditions, industry events, and financial performance, to make a determination of whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the goodwill is less than its carrying amount. In performing this assessment, the Company considered such factors as its historical performance, its growth opportunities in existing markets; new markets and new products in determining whether the goodwill was impaired. The Company also referenced its forecasts of revenue, operating income, and capital expenditures and concluded it is more likely than not, that the carrying value of its goodwill was not impaired as of October 1, 2025.
Other intangible assets
Other intangible assets, net consist of definite-lived trade names, customer relationships, software applications and indefinite-lived operating licenses. The Company determines the fair value of trade name assets acquired in acquisitions using a relief from royalty valuation method which requires assumptions such as projected revenue and a royalty rate. Customer relationships, software applications and trade names are amortized over their estimated 7 to 20-year useful lives. Operating licenses were assigned an indefinite useful life based on the Company's expected use of the licenses and determined that no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic, or other factors limit the useful life of these operating licenses.
