10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Litigation The Company is party to a number of pending legal proceedings related to matters that occurred in the normal course of business. Management does not expect that the outcome of any such proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Contingent Gaming License Fees in Illinois As required for its gaming licensure at American Place, the Company continues to accrue for a “Reconciliation Payment” that will be due to the Illinois Gaming Board (“IGB”) over a long-term basis. The Reconciliation Payment is calculated in February 2026 (three years after the commencement of gaming operations in Illinois) in an amount equal to 75% of the adjusted gross receipts for the most lucrative trailing 12-month period of operations, offset by certain licensing fees already paid by the Company. The Reconciliation Payment is due in installments over a period of six years, expected to begin in 2026 or early 2027.
The estimated present value of the long-term obligation for the Company’s gaming license in Illinois consists of the following, and results in a corresponding increase to the Illinois gaming license valuation:
__________
Defined Contribution Plan The Company sponsors a defined contribution plan for all eligible employees, allowing voluntary contributions by eligible employees and matching contributions made by the Company. Matching contributions made by the Company were $0.3 million for each of 2025 and 2024, excluding nominal administrative expenses. For both years, the Company’s employer matching contribution rate was at 50% of employee contributions, up to a maximum of 4% of eligible compensation.
Liquidity, Concentrations and Economic Risks and Uncertainties The Company carries cash on deposit with financial institutions that may be in excess of federally-insured limits. The extent of any loss that might be incurred as a result of uninsured deposits in the event of a future failure of a bank or other financial institution, if any, is not subject to estimation at this time. |
