| Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] | |||
| GOODWILL & OTHER INTANGIBLES |
At least annually during the fourth quarter or more frequently when there is a material change in circumstances that could have a negative effect, the Company performs an assessment of its goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets to determine if the carrying value of such assets exceeds the fair value. No change in circumstances that would trigger an evaluation were observed during the three months ended March 31, 2015 or subsequently, and no impairment charges were recorded during the March 31, 2015 and 2014 quarters. We evaluate these assets using the market (comparable transactions) and income (discounted cash flow) approaches to value, both of which use Level 3 inputs as defined by GAAP.
We amortize our definite-lived intangible assets, including our player loyalty programs, loan fees, land leases and water rights, over their estimated useful lives. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the aggregate amortization expense was $0.9 million, which includes $0.4 million for loan fees. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, such amount was $1.0 million, including $0.4 million for loan fees. Loan fees are amortized to interest expense.
