| Leases |
11.LEASES The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate in each of the jurisdictions in which its subsidiaries operate to calculate the present value of lease payments. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. These options are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise those options. Operating lease expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company accounts for lease agreements with lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for all asset classes. The Company does not establish ROU assets or lease liabilities for operating leases with terms of 12 months or less. The Company’s operating and finance leases include land, casino space, corporate offices, and gaming and other equipment. The leases have remaining lease terms of one month to 46 years.
