Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of presentation and preparation Basis of presentation and preparation: The condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes were prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all recurring adjustments and normal accruals necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the dates and periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “Form 10-K”). In preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements, we applied the same significant accounting policies as described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in the Form 10-K. Any significant changes to those accounting policies are discussed below. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
Use of estimates
Use of estimates: The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and (iii) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates used by the Company include, among other things, the useful lives for depreciable and amortizable assets, income tax provisions, the evaluation of the future realization of deferred tax assets, projected cash flows in assessing the initial valuation of intangible assets in conjunction with business and asset acquisitions, the selection of useful lives for depreciable and amortizable assets in conjunction with business and asset acquisitions, the valuation of level 3 investments, the valuation of contingent earnout shares, the valuation of interest rate hedging instruments, contingencies, and the expected term of share-based compensation awards and stock price volatility when computing stock-based compensation expense. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Equity method investments
Equity method investments: In the normal course of business, the Company makes investments in companies that will allow it to expand the Company’s core business and enter new markets. In certain instances, such investments with less than 100% ownership may be considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The Company’s management assesses whether it has the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entity and has an obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity. The activities that the Company believes most significantly impact the economic performance of its VIEs include the unilateral ability to approve the annual budget, to terminate key management and to approve entering into agreements with providers, among others. If the Company determines it has an investment in a VIE, the next step is to determine whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, which would require the Company to consolidate the investment. In assessing whether it has a controlling financial interest, the Company’s management assesses, among other factors, the Company’s risk of loss, its investment percentage and its ability to control the operations of the investment. If the Company determines it is not the primary beneficiary, it will account for the investment under the equity method of accounting.
The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated affiliates, which do not meet the controlling financial interest consolidation criteria of the authoritative accounting guidance for VIEs, under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company records its share of net income or loss from equity method investments within (income) loss from unconsolidated affiliates in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income based on the most recently available financials after a lag of one quarter. The Company also adjusts the carrying value of its investments in unconsolidated affiliates based on its share of net income or loss from equity method investments.
Revenue recognition
Revenue recognition: The Company primarily generates revenues from the following types of services: gaming terminals, amusements, and ATMs. The Company also generates manufacturing revenue from the sale of gaming terminals and associated software, as well as revenue from its casino and racing operations. Revenue is disaggregated by type of revenue and is presented on the face of the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
Recent accounting pronouncements
Recent accounting pronouncementsIn May 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-03, Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity, which provides enhanced comparability of financial statements across entities engaging in acquisition transactions effected primarily by exchanging equity interests when the legal acquiree meets the definition of a business. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Entities must adopt the changes prospectively to any acquisition transaction that occurs after the initial application date. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect that this ASU will have on its financial statement disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which provides enhanced language to remove all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages (referred to as “project stages”) throughout Subtopic 350-40. Therefore, an entity is required to start capitalizing software costs when both of the following occur, 1) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and 2) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Entities must adopt the changes either 1) prospectively, 2) retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements, or 3) using a modified transition approach that is based on the status of the project and whether software costs were capitalized before the date of adoption after the initial application date. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect that this ASU will have on its financial statements and disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which provides enhanced language concerning the definition of a derivative and how it should not apply to certain contracts. Therefore, the amendments in this update expand the scope exception for certain contracts not traded on an exchange to include contracts for which settlement is based on operations or activities specific to one of the parties to the contract. This improvement is expected to result in more contracts and embedded features being excluded from the scope of Topic 815. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Entities must adopt the changes either 1) prospectively, 2) modified retrospectively through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the annual reporting period of adoption for contracts existing as of the beginning of the annual reporting period of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect that this ASU will have on its financial statements and disclosures.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) Hedge Accounting Improvements, which provides clarification on certain aspects of the guidance on hedge accounting and to address several incremental hedge accounting issues arising from the global reference rate reform initiative such as risk assessment for cash flow hedges, forecasted interest payments, nonfinancial forecasted transactions and written options. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Entities must adopt the changes on a prospective basis for all hedging relationships. An entity may elect to adopt the amendments in this Update for hedging relationships that exist as of the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect that this ASU will have on its financial statements and disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270) Narrow-Scope Improvements, which provides clarification on interim disclosure requirements and the applicability of Topic 270. This improvement is expected to result in a comprehensive list of interim disclosures that are required by GAAP. The objective of the amendments is to provide clarity about the current requirements, rather than evaluate whether to expand or reduce interim disclosure requirements. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Entities must adopt the changes either 1) prospectively or, 2) retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect that this ASU will have on its financial statements and disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires public entities to disclose information about certain costs and expenses. The amendments in this ASU improve financial reporting by requiring additional disclosure of information and specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements at interim and annual periods. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Entities must adopt the changes either 1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this update or 2) retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect that this ASU will have on its financial statement disclosures.
Other recently issued accounting standards or pronouncements have been excluded because they are either not relevant to the Company, or are not expected to have, or did not have, a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
