Segment Information

16.  Segment Information

Lakes’ segments reported below (in millions) are the segments of the Company for which separate financial information is available and for which operating results are evaluated by the chief operating decision-maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

The Indian Casino Projects segment includes operations and assets related to the development, financing, and management of gaming-related properties for the Shingle Springs Tribe, the Pokagon Band, the Jamul Tribe and the Iowa Tribe of Oklahoma. The Non-Indian Casino Projects segment includes results and/or assets related to the development, financing, and management of gaming-related properties in Maryland and Ohio. The total assets in “Corporate and Eliminations” below primarily relate to Lakes’ cash and cash equivalents and the Lakes corporate office building. Costs in “Corporate and Eliminations” below have not been allocated to the other segments because these costs are not easily allocable and to do so would not be practical.
