All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. The financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into US dollars using exchange rates in effect at period-end for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates during each reporting period for results of operations. Adjustments resulting from financial statement translations are reflected as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in net income (loss). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of the SEC’s Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally required in complete financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted. In the Company’s opinion, these condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. There were no material changes in significant accounting policies from those described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. We have made estimates and judgments affecting the amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. The actual results that we experience may differ materially from our estimates. Equity Method Investments On January 1, 2023, the Company and International Game Technology PLC (“IGT”) contributed certain tangible assets and leases to Rhode Island VLT Company, LLC (“RIVLT”) in exchange for equity interests of RIVLT. The Company contributed video lottery terminals (“VLTs”) and player tracking equipment to the joint venture for a 40% equity interest of RIVLT. The 40% ownership in the joint venture qualifies for equity method accounting. In addition to this joint venture, the Company also has another investment in an unconsolidated subsidiary which is accounted for using equity method accounting. The Company records its share of net income or loss within Other non-operating income, net” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded a gain on equity method investments of $1.0 million and $3.1 million, respectively. Variable Interest Entities The Company evaluates entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights to determine if it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. An entity is a VIE if it has any of the following characteristics (i) has insufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support (ii) equity holders, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or (iii) the entity is structured with non-substantive voting rights. The primary beneficiary of the VIE is generally the entity that has (a) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company consolidates its investment in a VIE when it determines that it is its primary beneficiary. In determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, the Company considers qualitative and quantitative factors, including, but not limited to: which activities most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and which party controls such activities and significance of the Company’s investment and other means of participation in the VIE’s expected profits/losses. Significant judgments related to these determinations include estimates about the current and future fair values and performance of assets held by these VIEs and general market conditions. Management has analyzed and concluded that Breckenridge Curacao B.V. (“Breckenridge”) is a VIE because it does not have sufficient equity investment at risk. The Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary and consolidates the VIE because (a) although the Company does not control all decisions of Breckenridge, the Company has the power to direct the activities of Breckenridge that most significantly impact its economic performance through various contracts with the entity and (b) the nature of these agreements between Breckenridge and the Company provides the Company with the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits based on fees that are based upon off-market rates and commensurate to the level of services provided. The Company receives significant benefits in the form of fees that are not at market and commensurate to the level of services provided. As a result, the Company consolidates all of the assets, liabilities and results of operations of Breckenridge and its subsidiaries in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Breckenridge had total assets of $155.3 million and $93.4 million, respectively, and total liabilities of $85.9 million and $77.1 million, respectively. Breckenridge had revenues of $76.5 million and $160.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and $73.9 million and $160.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The Company may change its original assessment of a VIE upon subsequent events such as the modification of contractual arrangements that affect the characteristics or adequacy of the entity’s equity investments at risk and the disposition of all or a portion of an interest held by the primary beneficiary. The Company performs this analysis on an ongoing basis. Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash Cash and cash equivalents includes cash balances and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Restricted cash includes cash collateral in connection with amounts due to the Chicago Tribune (refer to Note 9 “ Property and Equipment Accounts Receivable, Net Accounts receivable, net consists of the following: June 30, December 31, (in thousands) 2023 2022 Amounts due from Rhode Island and Delaware (1) $ 14,987 $ 15,865 Gaming receivables 17,450 19,065 Non-gaming receivables 38,813 42,532 Accounts receivable 71,250 77,462 Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts (5,649) (5,789) Accounts receivable, net $ 65,601 $ 71,673 __________________________________ (1) Represents the Company’s share of VLT and table games revenue for Bally’s Twin River and Bally’s Tiverton due from the State of Rhode Island and from the State of Delaware for Bally’s Dover. Gaming Expenses Gaming expenses include, among other things, payroll costs and expenses associated with the operation of VLTs, slots and table games, including gaming taxes payable to jurisdictions in which the Company operates outside of Rhode Island and Delaware, and marketing costs directly associated with the Company’s iGaming products and services. These marketing expenses are included within Gaming expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and were $47.8 million and $44.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $93.7 million and $102.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Gaming expenses also include racing expenses comprised of payroll costs, off track betting (“OTB”) commissions and other expenses associated with the operation of live racing and simulcasting. Advertising Expense The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, advertising expense was $3.2 million and $8.6 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, advertising expense was $7.3 million and $14.8 million, respectively. Advertising costs are included in “Gaming and administrative” on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Earnings (Loss) Per Share Basic earnings (loss) per common share is calculated in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260, Earnings Per Share , which requires entities that have issued securities other than common stock that participate in dividends with common stock (“participating securities”) to apply the two-class method to compute basic earnings (loss) per common share. The two-class method is an earnings allocation method under which basic earnings (loss) per common share is calculated for each class of common stock and participating security as if all such earnings had been distributed during the period. To calculate basic earnings (loss) per share, the earnings allocated to common shares is divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, contingently issuable warrants and RSUs, RSAs and PSUs for which no future service is required as a condition to the delivery of the underlying common stock (collectively, basic shares). Fair Value Measurements Fair value is determined using the principles of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement . Fair value is described as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes and defines the inputs to valuation techniques as follows: • Level 1: Observable quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. • Level 2: Inputs are observable for the asset or liability either directly or through corroboration with observable market data. • Level 3: Unobservable inputs. The inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability are categorized within levels of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the measurement. Strategic Partnership - Sinclair Broadcast Group On November 18, 2020, the Company and Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc. (“Sinclair”) entered into a Framework Agreement (the “Sinclair Agreement”), which provides for a long-term strategic relationship between the Company and Sinclair combining Bally’s integrated, proprietary sports betting technology with Sinclair’s portfolio of local broadcast stations and its Tennis Channel, Stadium sports network and STIRR streaming service. The Company received naming rights to the regional sports networks and certain integrations to network programming in exchange for annual fees paid in cash, the issuance of warrants and options and an agreement to share in certain tax benefits resulting from the Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”) with Sinclair. The initial term of the agreement is ten years from the commencement date of the re-branded Sinclair regional sports networks and can be renewed for one additional five-year term unless either the Company or Sinclair elect not to renew. Naming Rights Intangible Asset - Under the terms of the Sinclair Agreement, the Company is required to pay annual naming rights fees to Diamond Sports Group for naming rights of the regional sports networks which escalate annually and total $88.0 million over the 10-year term of the agreement beginning April 1, 2021. The Company accounted for this transaction as an asset acquisition in accordance with the “Acquisition of Assets Rather Than a Business” subsections of ASC 805-50, Business Combinations—Related Issues , using a cost accumulation model. The naming rights intangible asset represents the consideration transferred on the acquisition date comprised of the present value of annual naming rights fees, the fair value of the warrants and options and an estimate of the TRA payments, each explained below. The naming rights intangible asset, net of accumulated amortization, was $239.4 million and $255.6 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Amortization began on April 1, 2021, the commencement date of the re-branded Sinclair regional sports networks, and was $7.7 million and $8.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $15.5 million and $16.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Refer to Note 10 “ Goodwill and Intangible Assets Naming Rights Fees - The present value of the annual naming rights fees was recorded as part of the cost of the naming rights intangible asset with a corresponding liability which will be accreted through interest expense over the life of the agreement. The total value of the liability as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $58.5 million and $59.3 million, respectively. The short-term portion of the liability, which was $7.0 million and $6.0 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, is recorded within “Accrued liabilities” and the long-term portion of the liability, which was $51.5 million and $53.3 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31 2022, respectively, is recorded within “Naming rights liabilities” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Accretion expense reported in “Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations was $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Warrants and Options - The Company issued to Sinclair (i) an immediately exercisable warrant to purchase up to 4,915,726 shares of the Company at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (“the Penny Warrants”), (ii) a warrant to purchase up to a maximum of 3,279,337 additional shares of the Company at a price of $0.01 per share subject to the achievement of various performance metrics (the “Performance Warrants”) and (iii) an option to purchase up to 1,639,669 additional shares in four tranches with purchase prices ranging from $30.00 to $45.00 per share, exercisable over a seven-year period beginning on the fourth anniversary of the November 18, 2020 closing (the “Options”). The exercise and purchase prices and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and options are subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The issuance pursuant to the warrants and options of shares in excess of 19.9% of the Company’s currently outstanding shares was subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholders in accordance with the rules of the NYSE, which was obtained on January 27, 2021. Penny Warrants & Options . The Penny Warrants and Options are equity classified instruments under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging , (“ASC 815”). The fair value of the Penny Warrants approximates the fair value of the underlying shares and was $150.4 million on November 18, 2020 at issuance, and was recorded to “Additional paid-in-capital” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, with an offset to the naming rights intangible asset. The Company recorded $59.7 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and is included within “Additional paid-in-capital” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Performance Warrants . The Performance Warrants are accounted for as a derivative liability because the underlying performance metrics represent an adjustment to the settlement amount that is not indexed to the Company’s own stock and thus equity classification is precluded under ASC 815. Refer to Note 11 “ Fair Value Measurements Tax Receivable Agreement - The Company is required to share 60% of the tax benefit the Company receives from the Penny Warrants, Options, Performance Warrants and payments under the TRA with Sinclair over the term of the agreement as tax benefit amounts are determined through the filing of the Company’s annual tax returns. Changes in estimate of the tax benefit to be realized and tax rates in effect at the time, among other changes, are treated as an adjustment to the naming rights intangible asset. The TRA liability was $17.1 million and $19.4 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and is included in “Naming rights liabilities” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The change in value of the TRA liability is included in “Other non-operating expenses, net” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded a provision for income tax of $109.1 million, at an effective year to date tax rate of 41.7% and a benefit for income tax of $0.1 million, at an effective year to date tax rate of (0.2)%, respectively. The 2023 year to date effective tax rate was higher than the US federal statutory tax rate of 21%, largely due to an increase in the valuation allowance and a tax liability for a discrete item related to the deferred gain on sale leaseback transactions in Mississippi and Rhode Island. The 2022 year to date effective tax rate was lower than the US federal statutory tax rate of 21%, largely due to a tax benefit recorded in foreign jurisdictions during the year, offset by a discrete item related to the gain on sale leaseback transactions in Colorado and Illinois. |

The amendments in this update defer the sunset date of Topic 848, which applies to entities which have transactions that reference LIBOR or other reference rates which are expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform, until December 31, 2024. The Company’s adoption of this ASU in the second quarter of 2023 did not have a material impact to its condensed consolidated financial statements. |
REVENUE RECOGNITION
REVENUE RECOGNITION | 6 Months Ended |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
REVENUE RECOGNITION | REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , which requires companies to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services. In addition, the standard requires more detailed disclosures to enable readers of the financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The Company generates revenue from four principal sources: (1) gaming (which includes retail gaming, online gaming, sports betting and racing), (2) hotel, (3) food and beverage and (4) retail, entertainment and other. The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps: • Identify the contract, or contracts, with the customer; • Identify the performance obligations in the contract; • Determine the transaction price; • Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and • Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized by the Company is measured at the transaction price or the amount of consideration that the Company expects to receive through satisfaction of the identified performance obligations. Retail gaming, online gaming and sports betting revenue, each as described below, contain two performance obligations. Retail gaming transactions have an obligation to honor the outcome of a wager and to pay out an amount equal to the stated odds, including the return of the initial wager, if the customer receives a winning hand. These elements of honoring the outcome of the hand of play and generating a payout are considered one performance obligation. Online gaming and sports betting represent a single performance obligation for the Company to operate contests or games and award prizes or payouts to users based on results of the arrangement. Revenue is recognized at the conclusion of each contest, wager or wagering game hand. Incentives can be used across online gaming products. The Company allocates a portion of the transaction price to certain customer incentives that create material future customer rights and are a separate performance obligation. In addition, in the event of a multi-stage contest, the Company will allocate transaction price ratably from contest start to the contest’s final stage. Racing revenue is earned through advance deposit wagering which consists of patrons wagering through an advance deposit account. Each wagering contract contains a single performance obligation. The transaction price for a gaming wagering contract is the difference between gaming wins and losses, not the total amount wagered. The transaction price for racing operations, inclusive of live racing events conducted at the Company’s racing facilities, is the commission received from the pari-mutuel pool less contractual fees and obligations primarily consisting of purse funding requirements, simulcasting fees, tote fees and certain pari-mutuel taxes that are directly related to the racing operations. The transaction price for hotel, food, beverage, retail, entertainment and other is the net amount collected from the customer for such goods and services. Hotel, food, beverage, retail, entertainment and other services have been determined to be separate, stand-alone performance obligations and revenue is recognized as the good or service is transferred at the point in time of the transaction. The following contains a description of each of the Company’s revenue streams: Gaming Revenue Retail Gaming The Company recognizes retail gaming revenue as the net win from gaming activities, which is the difference between gaming inflows and outflows, not the total amount wagered. Progressive jackpots are estimated and recognized as revenue at the time the obligation to pay the jackpot is established. Gaming revenues are recognized net of certain cash and free play incentives. Gaming services contracts have two performance obligations for those customers earning incentives under the Company’s player loyalty programs and a single performance obligation for customers who do not participate in the programs. The Company applies a practical expedient to account for its gaming contracts on a portfolio basis as such wagers have similar characteristics and the Company reasonably expects the impact on the consolidated financial statements of applying the revenue recognition guidance to the portfolio would not differ materially from the application of an individual wagering contract. For purposes of allocating the transaction price in a wagering contract between the wagering performance obligation and the obligation associated with incentives earned under loyalty programs, the Company allocates an amount to the loyalty program contract liability based on the stand-alone selling price of the incentive earned for a hotel room stay, food and beverage or other amenity. The performance obligation related to loyalty program incentives are deferred and recognized as revenue upon redemption by the customer. The amount associated with gaming wagers is recognized at the point the wager occurs, as it is settled immediately. Gaming revenue includes the share of VLT revenue for Bally’s Twin River and Bally’s Tiverton, in each case, as determined by each property’s respective master VLT contracts with the State of Rhode Island. Bally’s Twin River is entitled to a 28.85% share of VLT revenue on the initial 3,002 units and a 26.00% share on VLT revenue generated from units in excess of 3,002 units. Bally’s Tiverton is entitled to receive a percentage of VLT revenue that is equivalent to the percentage received by Bally’s Twin River. From July 1, 2021 through December 31, 2022, Bally’s Twin River and Bally’s Tiverton were entitled to an additional 7.00% share of revenue, as the Technology Provider, on VLTs owned by the Company. Beginning on January 1, 2023, the Company contributed all of its VLT assets to the Rhode Island Joint Venture and the Rhode Island Joint Venture, as the sole Technology Provider, is now entitled to that additional 7% of VLT revenue. Gaming revenue also includes Bally’s Twin River’s and Bally’s Tiverton’s share of table games revenue. Bally’s Twin River and Bally’s Tiverton each were entitled to an 83.5% share of table games revenue generated as of June 30, 2023 and 2022. Revenue is recognized when the wager is settled, which is when the customer has received the benefits of the Company’s gaming services and the Company has a present right to payment. The Company records revenue from its Rhode Island operations on a net basis which is the percentage share of VLT and table games revenue received as the Company acts as an agent in operating the gaming services on behalf of the State of Rhode Island. Gaming revenue also includes Bally’s Dover’s share of revenue as determined under the Delaware State Lottery Code from the date of its acquisition. Bally’s Dover is authorized to conduct video lottery, sports wagering, table game and internet gaming operations as one of three “Licensed Agents” under the Delaware State Lottery Code. Licensing, administration and control of gaming operations in Delaware is under the Delaware State Lottery Office and Delaware’s Department of Safety and Homeland Security, Division of Gaming Enforcement. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, Bally’s Dover was entitled to an approximate 42% share of VLT revenue and 80% share of table games revenue. Revenue is recognized when the wager is complete, which is when the customer has received the benefits of the Company’s gaming services and the Company has a present right to payment. The Company records revenue from its Delaware operations on a net basis, which is the percentage share of VLT and table games revenue received, as the Company acts as an agent in operating the gaming services on behalf of the State of Delaware. Gaming revenue includes casino revenue of the Company’s other properties which is the aggregate net difference between gaming wins and losses, with deferred revenue recognized for prepaid deposits by customers prior to play, for chips outstanding and “ticket-in, ticket-out” coupons in the customers’ possession, and for accruals related to the anticipated payout of progressive jackpots. Progressive slot machines, which contain base jackpots that increase at a progressive rate based on the number of credits played, are charged to revenue as the amount of the progressive jackpots increase. Online Gaming The Company’s online gaming operates similarly to land-based casinos, generating revenue from player wagers net of payouts and incentives awarded to players. Online gaming revenue includes the online bingo and casino revenue of Gamesys since the date of acquisition, beginning October 1, 2021. The revenue is earned from operating online bingo and casino websites, which consists of the difference between total amounts wagered by players less winnings payable to players, bonuses allocated and jackpot contributions. Online gaming revenue is recognized at the point in time when the player completes a gaming session and payout occurs. There is no significant degree of uncertainty involved in quantifying the amount of gaming revenue earned, including bonuses, jackpot contributions and loyalty points. Bonuses, jackpot contributions and loyalty points are measured at fair value at each reporting date. Sports Betting Sports betting involves a player wagering money on an outcome or series of outcomes. If a player wins the wager, the Company pays the player a pre-determined amount known as fixed odds. Sports betting revenue is generated through built-in theoretical margins in each sports wagering opportunity offered to players. Revenue is recognized as total wagers net of payouts made and incentives awarded to players. The Company has entered into several multi-year agreements with third-party operators for online sports betting and iGaming market access in several jurisdictions from which the Company has received or expects to receive one-time, up front market access fees in cash or equity securities (specific to one operator agreement) and certain other fees in cash generally based on a percentage of the gross gaming revenue generated by the operator, with certain annual minimum guarantees due to the Company. The one-time market access fees received have been recorded as deferred revenue and will be recognized as gaming revenue ratably over the respective contract terms, beginning with the commencement of operations of each respective agreement. The Company recognized commissions in certain states from online sports betting and iGaming which are included in gaming revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Deferred revenue associated with third-party operators for online sports betting and iGaming market access was $3.9 million and $4.1 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and is included in “Accrued liabilities” and “Other long-term liabilities” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. All other revenues, including market access and B2B service revenue generated by the North America Interactive and International Interactive reportable segments, are recognized at the time the goods are sold or the service is provided. Racing Racing revenue includes Bally’s Twin River’s, Bally’s Tiverton’s, Bally’s Arapahoe Park’s and Bally’s Dover’s share of wagering from live racing and the import of simulcast signals. Racing revenue is recognized upon completion of the wager based upon an established take-out percentage. The Company functions as an agent to the pari-mutuel pool. Therefore, fees and obligations related to the Company’s share of purse funding, simulcasting fees, tote fees, pari-mutuel taxes, and other fees directly related to the Company’s racing operations are reported on a net basis and included as a reduction to racing revenue. Non-gaming Revenue Non-gaming revenue consists of hotel, food, beverage, retail, entertainment and other revenue. Hotel revenue is recognized when the customer obtains control through occupancy of the room over the stay at the hotel. Advance deposits for hotel rooms are recorded as liabilities until revenue recognition criteria are met. Food, beverage and retail revenues are recognized at the time the goods are sold from Company-operated outlets. The estimated standalone selling price of hotel rooms is determined based on observable prices. The standalone selling price of food, beverage, retail, entertainment and other goods and services are determined based upon the actual retail prices charged to customers for those items.

The total purchase price was $148.2 million. Cash paid by the Company at closing net of $1.7 million cash acquired, was $146.5 million, excluding transaction costs. In connection with the acquisition of Tropicana Las Vegas, the Company entered into a lease arrangement with GLPI to lease the land underlying the Tropicana Las Vegas property for an initial term of 50 years at annual rent of $10.5 million. The following table summarizes the consideration paid and the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the Casinos & Resorts acquisition as of June 30, 2023: (in thousands) Tropicana Las Vegas Preliminary (2) Total current assets $ 7,924 Property and equipment, net 136,116 Right of use assets, net 164,884 Intangible assets, net (1) 5,140 Other assets 766 Goodwill 8,794 Total current liabilities (10,129) Lease liabilities (164,884) Other long-term liabilities (395) Total purchase price $ 148,216 __________________________________ (1) Intangible assets include rated player relationships, a trade name and pre-bookings of $2.6 million, $1.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively, which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of approximately 9 years, 3 years and 2 years, respectively. (2) The Company recorded adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation during the six months ended June 30, 2023 which decreased total current assets by $0.2 million, increased goodwill by $0.2 million, decreased total current liabilities by $0.1 million and increased the total purchase price by $0.1 million. Goodwill recognized is deductible for local tax purposes and has been assigned as of the acquisition date to the Company’s Casinos & Resorts reportable segment, which includes the reporting unit expected to benefit from the synergies of the acquisition. Qualitative factors that contribute to the recognition of goodwill include an organized workforce and expected synergies from integrating the property into the Company’s casino portfolio and future development of its omni-channel strategy. The Company incurred $0.8 million of acquisition costs related to the above Casino & Resorts acquisition during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and $0.3 million and $0.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. There were no acquisition costs related to the International Interactive acquisition during the three months ended June 30, 2023. These costs are included within “General and administrative” of the condensed consolidated statement of operations. International Interactive Acquisition Casino Secret - On January 5, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of BACA Limited (“Casino Secret”), a European based online casino that offers slots, tables and live dealer games to Asian markets for total consideration of $49.3 million.

(2) The Company did not record adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation during the six months ended June 30, 2023. Total goodwill recorded in connection with the above International Interactive acquisition was $18.1 million, and is not deductible for local tax purposes. Qualitative factors that contribute to the recognition of goodwill include certain intangible assets that are not recognized as separate identifiable intangible assets apart from goodwill, which consist primarily of benefits from acquiring a talented technology workforce and management team experienced in the online gaming industry, and securing buyer-specific synergies expected to contribute to the Company’s omni-channel strategy which are expected to increase revenue and profits within the Company’s International Interactive reportable segment. The goodwill of the International Interactive acquisition has been assigned, as of the acquisition date, to the Company’s International Interactive reportable segment. The Company incurred $1.2 million of acquisition costs related to the above International Interactive acquisition during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract] | |
ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD FOR SALE | ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD FOR SALE The Company applies a criteria that must be met before an asset is classified as held for sale, including that management, with the appropriate authority, commits to a plan to sell the asset at a reasonable price in relation to its fair value and is actively seeking a buyer. The Company recognizes assets held for sale at the lower of carrying value or fair market value less costs to sell, as estimated based on comparable asset sales, offers received, or a discounted cash flow model. The Company then compares the estimated future cash flows of the asset, on an undiscounted basis, to the carrying value of the asset. If the undiscounted cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, then an impairment charge may be recorded for any difference between fair value and the carrying value. Due to an evaluation of the expected fair value less costs to sell, during the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized impairment charges of $9.4 million and $0.3 million on goodwill and intangible assets held for sale, respectively. These charges have been accounted for within “General and administrative” in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, one of the Company’s North America Interactive businesses met the criteria to be classified as assets held for sale but did not qualify as discontinued operations as it did not represent a strategic shift having a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. The major classes of assets and liabilities classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are as follows: (in thousands) June 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 Assets: Restricted cash, prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 1,820 $ 3,756 Goodwill — 9,399 Intangible assets, net 3,768 4,022 Assets held for sale (1) $ 5,588 $ 17,177 Liabilities related to assets held for sale (1)(2) $ 1,560 $ 3,409 __________________________________ (1) All assets and liabilities held for sale were classified as current as it’s probable the sale will be completed within one year.

These assumptions and the probability of meeting performance targets may have a significant impact on the value of the warrant. The Performance Warrants are valued using an option pricing model, considering the Company’s estimated probabilities of achieving the performance milestones for each tranche. Inputs to this valuation approach include volatility between 63% and 66%, risk free rates between 1.02% and 4.01%, the Company’s common stock price for each period and expected terms between 3.4 and 8.0 years. Sinclair Options Sinclair Options are accounted for as an equity classified instrument under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging . The fair value of the options are based on a Black-Scholes model using Level 2 inputs, including volatility rates, risk free rates, the Company’s common stock price and expected term. The fair value of the Options was $59.7 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and is recorded within “Additional paid-in-capital” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Contingent Consideration Contingent consideration related to acquisitions is recorded at fair value as a liability on the acquisition date and is remeasured at each reporting date, based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. In connection with the acquisitions of SportCaller and MKF on February 5, 2021 and March 23, 2021, respectively, the Company recorded contingent consideration at fair value of $58.7 million as of the acquisition dates. After the acquisition dates and until the contingencies were resolved, the fair value of contingent consideration payable was adjusted each reporting period based primarily on the expected probability of achievement of the contingency targets which were subject to management’s estimate and the Company’s stock price. These changes in fair value are recognized within “Other, non-operating expenses, net” of the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company settled contingent consideration of $15.9 million, comprised of 393,778 immediately exercisable penny warrants and 107,832 shares of Bally’s Corporation common stock and $0.1 million in cash. During the second quarter of 2023, the Company settled the remaining contingent consideration of $9.3 million, comprised of 386,926 immediately exercisable penny warrants, 103,656 shares of Bally’s Corporation common stock and a de minimus payment in cash, all in satisfaction of contingencies related to the respective acquisition agreements. Convertible Loans The Company has certain agreements with vendors to provide a portfolio of games to its customers.

In connection with the repurchase of these 2031 Notes, the Company recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $4.0 million recorded within “Other non-operating income (expense), net” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The indenture contains covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things, (1) incur additional indebtedness, (2) pay dividends on or make distributions in respect of capital stock or make certain other restricted payments or investments, (3) enter into certain transactions with affiliates, (4) sell or otherwise dispose of assets, (5) create or incur liens and (6) merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. These covenants are subject to exceptions and qualifications set forth in the indenture. Credit Facility On October 1, 2021, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the other lenders party thereto, providing for senior secured financing of up to $2.565 billion, consisting of a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.945 billion (the “Term Loan Facility”), which will mature in 2028, and a senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $620.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which will mature in 2026. The credit facilities allow the Company to increase the size of the Term Loan Facility or request one or more incremental term loan facilities or increase commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility or add one or more incremental revolving facilities in an aggregate amount not to exceed the greater of $650 million and 100% of the Company’s consolidated EBITDA for the most recent four-quarter period plus or minus certain amounts as specified in the Credit Agreement, including an unlimited amount subject to compliance with a consolidated total secured net leverage ratio as set out in the Credit Agreement. The credit facilities are guaranteed by the Company’s restricted subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, and secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s and each of the guarantors’ assets, subject to certain exceptions. As of June 30, 2023, with the discontinuation of the LIBOR reference rate, borrowings under the credit facilities bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either (1) the term secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”), adjusted for certain additional costs and subject to a floor of 0.50% in the case of term loans and 0.00% in the case of revolving loans or (2) a base rate determined by reference to the greatest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate, (c) the one-month SOFR rate plus 1.00%, (d) solely in the case of term loans, 1.50% and (e) solely in the case of revolving loans, 1.00%, in each case of clauses (1) and (2), plus an applicable margin. In addition, on a quarterly basis, the Company is required to pay each lender under the Revolving Credit Facility a 0.50% or 0.375% commitment fee in respect of commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, with the applicable commitment fee determined based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio. The credit facilities contain covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make certain other restricted payments, sell assets, make certain investments and grant liens. These covenants are subject to exceptions and qualifications set forth in the Credit Agreement. The Revolving Credit Facility contains a financial covenant regarding a maximum first lien net leverage ratio that applies when borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility exceed 30% of the total revolving commitment. As of June 30, 2023, the Company’s borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility did not exceed 30% and therefore, financial covenants did not apply. |

Leases [Abstract] | |
LEASES | LEASES Operating Leases The Company is committed under various operating lease agreements for real estate and property used in operations. Certain leases include various renewal options which are included in the lease term when the Company has determined it is reasonably certain of exercising the options. Certain of these leases include percentage rent payments based on property revenues and/or rent escalation provisions determined by increases in the consumer price index (“CPI”). These percentage rent and escalation provisions are treated as variable lease payments and recognized as lease expense in the period in which the obligation for those payments are incurred. Discount rates used to determine the present value of the lease payments are based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate commensurate with the term of the lease. The Company had total operating lease liabilities of $1.22 billion and $836.1 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and right of use assets of $1.19 billion and $808.9 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, which were included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. GLPI Leases As of June 30, 2023, the Company’s Bally’s Evansville, Bally’s Dover, Bally’s Quad Cities, Bally’s Black Hawk, Bally’s Tiverton and Hard Rock Biloxi properties are leased under the terms of a master lease agreement (the “Master Lease”) with GLPI. All GLPI leases are accounted for as operating leases within the provisions of ASC 842 over the lease term or until a re-assessment event occurs. The Master Lease has an initial term of 15 years and includes four, five-year options to renew and requires combined minimum annual payments of $100.5 million, subject to minimum 1% annual escalation or greater escalation dependent on CPI. The renewal options are not reasonably certain of exercise as of June 30, 2023. In connection with the sale of the real estate for Bally’s Quad Cities and Bally’s Black Hawk during the second quarter of 2022, the Company received proceeds of $150.0 million and recognized a gain of $50.8 million. The gains recorded on the transactions represent the difference in the respective transaction prices and the derecognition of assets and are recorded within “General and administrative” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. On January 3, 2023, the Company completed a transaction with GLP Capital, L.P., the operating partnership of GLPI, related to the land and real estate assets of Bally’s Tiverton and Hard Rock Biloxi for total consideration of $625.4 million. The transaction was structured as a tax-free capital contribution and a substantial portion of the proceeds was used to reduce the Company’s debt. These properties were added to the Master Lease, increasing minimum annual payments by $48.5 million. An advance deposit of $200.0 million was received in the third quarter of 2022 in connection with this agreement, which was recorded within “Accrued liabilities” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded a gain of $374.3 million representing the difference in the transaction price and the de-recognition of assets. This gain is reflected as “Gain on sale-leaseback” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. In addition to the properties under the Master Lease explained above, the Company also entered into a lease with GLPI for the land associated with Tropicana Las Vegas, which the Company acquired during the third quarter of 2022. This lease has an initial term of 50 years (with a maximum term of 99 years with renewal options) at annual rent of $10.5 million, subject to minimum 1% annual escalation or greater escalation dependent on CPI.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Litigation The Company is a party to various legal and administrative proceedings which have arisen in the ordinary course of its business. Estimated losses are accrued for these proceedings when the loss is probable and can be estimated. The current liability for the estimated losses associated with these proceedings is not material to the Company’s consolidated financial condition and those estimated losses are not expected to have a material impact on results of operations. Although the Company maintains what it believes is adequate insurance coverage to mitigate the risk of loss pertaining to covered matters, legal and administrative proceedings can be costly, time-consuming and unpredictable. Although no assurance can be given, the Company does not believe that the final outcome of these matters, including costs to defend itself in such matters, will have a material adverse effect on the company’s consolidated financial statements. Further, no assurance can be given that the amount or scope of existing insurance coverage will be sufficient to cover losses arising from such matters. Capital Expenditure Commitments Bally’s Atlantic City - As part of the regulatory approval process with the State of New Jersey, the Company committed to spend $100 million in capital expenditures over a five year period to invest in and improve the property. The commitment calls for expenditures of no less than $25 million each in 2021, 2022 and 2023 and $85 million in aggregate for 2021, 2022 and 2023. The remaining $15 million of committed capital must be spent over 2024 and 2025. From 2021 through 2025, no less than $35 million must be invested in the hotel and no less than $65 million must be invested in non-hotel projects. Bally’s Twin River - Per the terms of the Regulatory Agreement in Rhode Island, the Company is committed to invest $100 million in its Rhode Island properties over the term of the master contract through June 30, 2043, including an expansion and the addition of new amenities at Bally’s Twin River. Bally’s Chicago - Per the host community agreement the Company is required to spend at least $1.34 billion on the design, construction and equipping of the temporary casino and the permanent resort and casino. The actual cost of the development may exceed this minimum capital investment requirement. In addition, land acquisition costs and financing costs, among other types of costs, are not counted toward meeting this requirement.

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
SEGMENT REPORTING | SEGMENT REPORTING The Company has three operating and reportable segments: Casinos & Resorts, North America Interactive and International Interactive. The “Other” category includes interest expense for the Company and certain unallocated corporate operating expenses and other adjustments, including eliminations of transactions among segments to reconcile to the Company’s consolidated results including, among other expenses, share-based compensation, acquisition and other transaction costs and certain non-recurring charges. The Company’s three reportable segments as of June 30, 2023 are: Casinos & Resorts - Includes the Company’s 15 casino and resort properties and one horse race track. North America Interactive - A portfolio of sports betting, iGaming and free-to-play gaming brands. International Interactive - Gamesys’ European and Asian operations. As of June 30, 2023, the Company’s operations were predominately in the US, Europe and Asia with a less substantive footprint in other countries world-wide. For geographical reporting purposes, revenue generated outside of the US has been aggregated into the International Interactive reporting segment, and consists primarily of revenue from the UK and Japan. Revenue generated from the UK and Japan represented approximately 26% and 12% of total revenue, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and approximately 25% and 12%, respectively for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Revenue generated from the UK and Japan represented approximately 25% and 12% of total revenue, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and approximately 26% and 13%, respectively for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company does not have any revenues from any individual customers that exceed 10% of total reported revenues. The Company utilizes Adjusted EBITDA (defined below) as a measure of its performance. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is representative of its ongoing business operations including its ability to service debt and to fund capital expenditures, acquisitions and operations, in addition to it being a commonly used measure of performance in the gaming industry and used by industry analysts to evaluate operations and operating performance. The following table sets forth revenue and Adjusted EBITDA for the Company’s three reportable segments and reconciles Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis to net income (loss). The Other category is included in the following tables in order to reconcile the segment information to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

On November 18, 2020, the Company issued Penny Warrants, Performance Warrants and Options which participate in dividends with the Company’s common stock subject to certain contingencies. In the period in which the contingencies are met, those instruments are participating securities to which income will be allocated using the two-class method. The Performance Warrants and Options do not participate in net losses. The Penny Warrants were considered exercisable for little to no consideration and are therefore included in basic shares outstanding at their issuance date. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the shares underlying the Performance Warrants were anti-dilutive as certain contingencies were not met.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers . The amendments in this update address diversity in practice and inconsistency related to recognition of an acquired contract liability and the effect of payment terms on subsequent revenue recognition for the acquirer. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company’s adoption of this ASU in the first quarter of 2023 did not have a material impact to its condensed consolidated financial statements. In December 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 . The amendments in this update defer the sunset date of Topic 848, which applies to entities which have transactions that reference LIBOR or other reference rates which are expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform, until December 31, 2024.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash | Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted CashCash and cash equivalents includes cash balances and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. |
Consolidation, Variable Interest Entity, Policy | Variable Interest Entities The Company evaluates entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights to determine if it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. An entity is a VIE if it has any of the following characteristics (i) has insufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support (ii) equity holders, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or (iii) the entity is structured with non-substantive voting rights. The primary beneficiary of the VIE is generally the entity that has (a) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company consolidates its investment in a VIE when it determines that it is its primary beneficiary. In determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, the Company considers qualitative and quantitative factors, including, but not limited to: which activities most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and which party controls such activities and significance of the Company’s investment and other means of participation in the VIE’s expected profits/losses. Significant judgments related to these determinations include estimates about the current and future fair values and performance of assets held by these VIEs and general market conditions. |
