References in this document to “we,” “us” and “our” mean Dover Downs Gaming & Entertainment, Inc. and/or its wholly owned subsidiaries, as appropriate.
Item 1. Business
We are a premier gaming and entertainment resort destination whose operations consist of:
· Dover Downs Casino — a 165,000-square foot casino complex featuring popular table games, including craps, roulette and card games such as blackjack, Spanish 21, baccarat, 3-card and pai gow poker, the latest in slot machine offerings, multi-player electronic table games, the Crown Royal poker room, a Race & Sports Book operation, the Dover Downs’ Fire & Ice Lounge, the Festival Buffet, Doc Magrogan’s Oyster House, Frankie’s Italian restaurant, as well as several bars, restaurants and four retail outlets;
· Dover Downs Hotel and Conference Center — a 500 room AAA Four Diamond hotel with a full-service spa/salon, conference, banquet, ballroom and concert hall facilities; and
· Dover Downs Raceway — a harness racing track with pari-mutuel wagering on live and simulcast horse races.
All of our operations are located at our entertainment complex in Dover, the capital of the State of Delaware.
Dover Downs Gaming & Entertainment, Inc. is a public holding company that has two wholly owned subsidiaries: Dover Downs, Inc. and Dover Downs Gaming Management Corp. Dover Downs, Inc. was incorporated in 1967 and began motorsports and harness racing operations in 1969. In June of 1994, legislation authorizing video lottery operations in the State of Delaware (the “State”) was adopted. Our casino operations began on December 29, 1995. As a result of several restructurings, Dover Downs, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of Dover Motorsports, Inc. (formerly known as Dover Downs Entertainment, Inc.) (“DVD”), and became the operating entity for all of DVD’s gaming operations.
Dover Downs Gaming & Entertainment, Inc. was incorporated in the State in December of 2001 as a wholly owned subsidiary of DVD. Effective March 31, 2002, DVD completed a tax-free spin-off of its gaming operations by contributing 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Dover Downs, Inc. to Dover Downs Gaming & Entertainment, Inc., and subsequently distributing 100% of our issued and outstanding common stock to DVD stockholders. Immediately following the spin-off, Dover Downs Gaming & Entertainment, Inc. became an independent publicly traded company.
Dover Downs, Inc. 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.
Our license from the Delaware Harness Racing Commission (the “Commission”) to hold harness race meetings on our premises and to offer pari-mutuel wagering on live and simulcast horse races must be renewed on an annual basis. In order to maintain our gaming license, we are required to maintain our harness horse racing license. We have received an annual license from the Commission for the past 44 consecutive years and management believes that our relationship with the Commission remains good.
Due to the nature of our business activities, we are subject to various federal, state and local regulations. As part of our license arrangements, we are subject to various taxes and fees which are subject to change by the Delaware legislature.
Additional gaming venues have recently opened in Maryland, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. These new venues — particularly a large casino at Arundel Mills Mall in Maryland which opened in June 2012 — are having a significant adverse effect on our visitation numbers, our revenues and our profitability. Management has estimated that approximately 34% of our total gaming win comes from Maryland patrons and approximately 65% of our Capital Club® member gaming win comes from out of state patrons.
On June 28, 2012, the State enacted the Delaware Gaming Competitiveness Act of 2012 (the “Act”), under which Delaware’s video lottery agents will be authorized to offer, through their websites, internet versions of their table games (including poker and bingo) and video lottery offerings. All games will remain under the control and operation of the Delaware Lottery. These internet gaming offerings capitalize on a recent United States Department of Justice ruling clarifying that wagering within a state’s boundaries does not violate the federal Wire Act.
Internet lottery games will, at least initially, be offered solely to persons within the State of Delaware. This territorial limitation would not apply to gaming pursuant to an interstate compact. Internet gaming participation will be limited to persons who meet the age requirements for equivalent non-internet games.
Revenues from the internet versions of table games and video lottery games will be distributed generally pursuant to the formula currently applicable to those games, with the exception that internet service provider costs will be deducted first, and the Delaware Lottery will retain the first $3.75 million of state-wide net proceeds. The Act also eliminates and restructures certain fees currently paid by video lottery agents to incentivize agents to make capital expenditures, spend on marketing and promotions, and make debt service payments. For the period July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012, we paid a $1,540,000 gaming license fee which has been eliminated beginning July 1, 2012. For the period July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013, we paid a $2,241,000 table game license fee which will be reduced beginning July 1, 2013. Based on current business levels, we estimate that this fee will be approximately $1,000,000 for the period July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014.
We anticipate that we will begin offering internet gaming in the third quarter of 2013 once the Delaware Lottery adopts regulations and secures contracts with internet service providers.
Dover Downs Casino
Our casino opened in December 1995 with approximately 500 slot machines. Due to its popularity, the casino has expanded six times since its opening and the number of machines has increased to 2,478 at December 31, 2012. The most recent expansion, which was completed in September of 2008, added approximately 68,000 square-feet of space bringing our casino complex to 165,000 square-feet. We are open for business 24 hours per day, seven days per week. Our facilities are open every day of the year, except Christmas and Easter, and we estimate that the facility was visited by approximately 2.4 million patrons in 2012.
Our slot machines range from our popular penny machines to $100 machines in the Premium Slots area and include most popular games found in the country’s major gaming jurisdictions.
In January 2010, the Delaware legislature authorized table games at the facilities of the State’s three video lottery agents. On June 25, 2010, we opened our table game operations with 40 tables including blackjack, craps and roulette tables. The Crown Royal poker room opened on July 14, 2010 with 12 poker tables.
During the third quarter of 2009, we opened our Race & Sports Book operation featuring parlay sports wagering on National Football League (“NFL”) games and pari-mutuel wagering on live and simulcast horse races.
Dover Downs, Inc. 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. We are required by law to set the payout on our slot machines to customers between 87% and 95%.
We use sophisticated database marketing to enable us to develop long-term relationships with our patrons and to target promotions to specific customer segments. Our Capital Club®, a slots players club and tracking system, allows us to identify customers and to reward their level of play through various marketing programs. Membership in this club currently stands at approximately 175,000 active patrons in one of three tiers — Capital Gold®, Capital Platinum® or Platinum Elite®.
We have implemented extensive procedures for financial and accounting controls, safekeeping and accounting of monies, and security provisions. Security over the gaming operations involves the integration of surveillance cameras, observation and oversight by employees, security and gaming staff, and various security features built into our equipment. The above, when combined with proper internal control procedures and daily monitoring by the Delaware State Lottery Office and Delaware’s Department of Safety and Homeland Security, Division of Gaming Enforcement, are intended to maintain the security, integrity and accountability of our gaming operations.
Dover Downs Hotel
Our luxury hotel facility, the Dover Downs Hotel and Conference Center, is the largest hotel in the State of Delaware and connects to our casino. The facility includes 500 rooms, including eleven luxury spa suites, a multi-purpose ballroom/concert hall, a fine dining restaurant, swimming pool and a luxurious 6,000 square-foot full-service spa. Our facility offers the most conference space of any hotel in Delaware and was expanded in the first quarter of 2012 to add 6,500 square feet of meeting space. By offering a wide range of entertainment options to our patrons, including concerts featuring prominent entertainers, live boxing, gourmet dining, spa facilities, trade shows and conferences, we believe we are able to attract new patrons and lengthen the stay of current patrons and encourage visits from patrons who may have a more convenient gaming option. In 2012, hotel occupancy averaged 89% and the hotel was awarded the AAA Four Diamond Award for the tenth consecutive year.
Dover Downs Raceway
Dover Downs Raceway has presented pari-mutuel harness racing events for 44 consecutive years. Live harness races are conducted at Dover Downs Raceway from November until April and are simulcast to more than 300 tracks and other off-track betting locations across North America on each of our more than 115 live race dates. During our harness racing season, we have historically used the 5/8-mile harness racing track that is located on DVD’s property and is on the inside of its one-mile motorsports superspeedway. In order to continue this historic use, DVD granted a perpetual easement to the harness track to us at the time of the spin-off. This perpetual easement allows us to have exclusive use of the harness track during the period beginning November 1 of each year and ending April 30 of the following year, together with set up and tear down rights for the two weeks before and after such period. The easement requires that we maintain the harness track but does not require the payment of any rent. Additional amenities include the Winners Circle® Restaurant overlooking the horse racing track.
Within our Race & Sports Book operation is the simulcast parlor where our patrons can wager on harness and thoroughbred races received by satellite into our facility year round from numerous tracks across North America. Television monitors throughout the area provide views of all races simultaneously and the betting windows are connected to a central computer allowing bets to be received on all races from all tracks.
Harness racing in the State of Delaware is governed by the Delaware Harness Racing Commission. We hold a license from the Harness Racing Commission authorizing us to hold harness race meetings on our premises and to offer pari-mutuel wagering on live and simulcast horse races.
In harness racing, competing horses are harnessed to a two-wheeled sulky, which carries the driver. Pari-mutuel wagering is pooled betting by which the wagering public, not the track, determines the odds and the payoff. The track retains a commission, which is a percentage of the total amount wagered, or the “handle.” Simulcasting is the transmission of live horse racing by television, cable or satellite signal from one race track to another with pari-mutuel wagering being conducted at the sending and receiving track and a portion of the handle being shared by the sending and receiving tracks.
The legislation authorizing our gaming operations under the Delaware Lottery was initially adopted in June 1994, and is referred to as the “Horse Racing Redevelopment Act.” The Delaware General Assembly’s stated purpose in approving the legislation was to (i) provide non-state supported assistance in the form of increased economic activity and vitality for Delaware’s harness and thoroughbred horse racing industries, which activity and vitality will enable the industry to improve its facilities and breeding stock, and cause increased employment; and (ii) restrict the location of gaming operations to locations where wagering is already permitted and controls exist. A portion of the proceeds from our gaming operations is allocated to increase the purses for harness horse races held at Dover Downs Raceway and is intended to provide increased vitality for Delaware’s horse racing industry.
We have an agreement with the Delaware Standardbred Owner’s Association, Inc. (“DSOA”) effective September 1, 2010 and continuing through August 31, 2014. DSOA’s membership consists of owners, trainers and drivers of harness horses participating in harness race meetings at our facilities and elsewhere in the United States and Canada. The DSOA has been organized and exists for the purpose of promoting the sport of harness racing; improving the lot of owners, drivers and trainers of harness racing horses participating in race meetings; establishing health, welfare and insurance programs for owners, drivers and trainers of harness racing horses; negotiating with harness racing tracks on behalf of owners, trainers, drivers and grooms of harness racing horses; and generally rendering assistance to them whenever and wherever possible. Under the DSOA agreement, we are required to distribute as purses for races conducted at our facilities a percentage of our retained share of pari-mutuel revenues.
We enjoy a good relationship with representatives of DSOA and anticipate that this relationship will continue. We believe that the DSOA agreement is typical of similar agreements in the industry.
Licensing and Regulation by Gaming and Other Authorities
General
We are subject to extensive federal, state and local regulations related to our operations, particularly our video lottery, sports wagering, table game and internet gaming operations, live harness racing and pari-mutuel wagering. These operations are contingent upon continued government approval of such operations as forms of legalized gaming and could be subjected at any time to additional or more restrictive regulations. The following is a brief outline of some of the more significant regulations affecting our gaming operations and not intended as a recitation of all regulations applicable to our business.
Delaware law regulates the percentage of commission we are entitled to receive from our gaming activities, which comprises a significant portion of our overall revenues. Our licenses to conduct video lottery, sports wagering and table game operations, harness horse races and pari-mutuel wagering could be modified or repealed at any time and we could be required to terminate our gaming operations.
Video Lottery, Sports Wagering, Table Game and Internet Gaming Operations
General. Video lottery, sports wagering, table game and internet gaming operations are by statute operated and administered by the Director of the Delaware State Lottery Office (the “Lottery Director”) and Delaware’s Department of Safety and Homeland Security, Division of Gaming Enforcement. We are a Licensed Agent authorized to conduct these activities under the Delaware State Lottery Code.
The Lottery Director has discretion to adopt such rules and regulations as the Lottery Director deems necessary or desirable for the efficient and economical operation and administration of the lottery, including (i) type and number of games permitted, (ii) pricing of games, (iii) numbers and sizes of prizes, (iv) manner of payment, (v) value of bills, coins or tokens needed to play, (vi) requirements for licensing agents and service providers, (vii) standards for advertising, marketing and promotional materials used by Licensed Agents, (viii) procedures for accounting and reporting, (ix) registration, kind, type, number and location of machines or equipment on a Licensed Agent’s premises, (x) security arrangements for the gaming systems, and (xi) reporting and auditing of financial information of Licensed Agents.
Licensing Requirements. We were granted a gaming license on December 13, 1995. Initially, the license was for video lottery operations but it now extends to our sports wagering, table game and internet gaming operations. Delaware gaming licenses do not have an expiration date.
There are continuing licensure requirements for all officers, directors, key employees and persons who own directly or indirectly 10% or more of a Licensed Agent, which licensure requirements shall include the satisfaction of such security, fitness and background standards as the Lottery Director may deem necessary relating to competence, honesty and integrity, such that a person’s reputation, habits and associations do not pose a threat to the public interest of the State or to the reputation of or effective regulation and control of the lottery; it being specifically understood that any person convicted of any felony, a crime involving gambling, or a crime of moral turpitude within 10 years prior to applying for a license or at any time thereafter shall be deemed unfit.
There are similar licensure requirements for providers of equipment and certain companies that seek to provide services to a Licensed Agent.
Revocation, Suspension or Modification of License. The Lottery Director may revoke or suspend the license of a Licensed Agent, such as ours, for “cause.” “Cause” is broadly defined and could potentially include falsifying any application for license or report required by the rules and regulations, the failure to report any information required by the rules and regulations, the material violation of any rules and regulations promulgated by the Lottery Director or any conduct by the licensee which undermines the public confidence in the lottery or serves the interest of organized gambling or crime and criminals in any manner. A license may be revoked for an unintentional violation of any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation provided that the violation is not cured within a reasonable time as determined by the Lottery Director. A hearing officer’s decision revoking or suspending the license shall be appealable to the Delaware Superior Court under the provisions of the Administrative Procedures Act. All existing or new officers, directors, key employees and owners of a Licensed Agent are subject to background investigation. Failure to satisfy the background investigation may constitute cause for suspension or revocation of the License.
Ownership Changes. Under Delaware law, a change of ownership of a Licensed Agent will automatically terminate its license 90 days after the change of ownership occurs, unless the Lottery Director determines after application to issue a new license to the new owners. Change of ownership may occur if any new individual or entity acquires, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the Licensed Agent or if more than 20% of the legal or beneficial interest in the Licensed Agent is transferred, whether by direct or indirect means. The Lottery Director may require extensive background investigations of any new owner acquiring a 10% or greater interest in a Licensed Agent, including criminal background checks. Accordingly, we have a restrictive legend on our shares of common stock which require that (a) any holders of common stock found to be disqualified or unsuitable or not possessing the qualifications required by any appropriate gaming authority could be required to dispose of such stock and (b) any holder of common stock intending to acquire 10% or more of our outstanding common stock must first obtain prior written approval from the Delaware State Lottery Office.
Harness Racing Events. In order to maintain our gaming license with the Delaware Lottery, we are required to maintain our license for harness horse racing with the Harness Racing Commission and must conduct a minimum of 80 live race days each racing season, subject to the availability of racing stock.
Control Over Equipment and Technology. We do not own or lease the slot machines or computer systems used by the State in connection with our video lottery gaming operations. The Lottery Director enters into contracts directly with the providers of the slot machines and computer systems and we are not a party to those negotiations. At our expense, the State purchases or leases all equipment and the Lottery Director licenses all technology providers. Similarly, but at no expense to us, the Lottery Director is expected to enter into contracts directly with internet service providers later in 2013. Our operations could be disrupted if a licensed technology provider violates its agreement with the State or ceases to be licensed for any reason. Such an event would be outside of our control and could adversely affect our gaming revenues.
Harness Racing and Pari-Mutuel Wagering
Licensing Requirements. Harness racing in the State of Delaware is governed by the Delaware Harness Racing Commission. We hold a license from the Commission by which we are authorized to hold harness race meetings on our premises and to make, conduct and sell pools by the use of pari-mutuel machines or totalizators. The license must be renewed on an annual basis. The Commission may reject an application for a license for any cause which it deems sufficient and the action of the Commission is final. The Commission may also suspend or revoke a license which it has issued and its action in that respect is final, subject to review, upon questions of law only, by the Superior Court of the County within which the license was granted. The action of the Commission stands unless and until reversed by the Court. We have received an annual license from the Commission for the past 44 consecutive years and management believes that our relationship with the Commission remains good. However, there can be no assurances that we will continue to be licensed by the Commission in the future.
Under the law, the Commission has broad powers of supervision and regulation. The Commission may prescribe rules, regulations and conditions under which all harness racing and betting pools shall be conducted; may regulate the performance of any service or the sale of any article on the premises of a licensee; may compel the production of books and documents of a licensee and require that books and records be kept in such manner as the Commission may prescribe; may visit, investigate and place accountants or other persons as it deems necessary, at the expense of a licensee, in the office, track or place of business of a licensee; may summon witnesses and administer oaths; and may require the removal of any employee or official employed by a licensee. All proposed extensions, additions or improvements to the property of a licensee are subject to the approval of the Commission.
The Commission is required to inspect a licensee’s racing plant not less than five days prior to a race meeting and may withdraw the license for the meeting if the racing plant is found to be unsafe for animals or persons or is not rendered safe prior to the opening of the meeting. A licensee must deposit with the Commission, ten days before a race meeting, a policy of insurance against personal injury liability in an amount to be approved by the Commission.
USTA. Any license granted by the Commission is also subject to such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed from time to time by the United States Trotting Association (“USTA”). The USTA sets various rules relating to the conduct of harness racing. According to its Articles of Incorporation, the purposes of the USTA shall include the improvement of the breed of trotting and pacing horses, the establishment of rules regulating standards and the registration of such horses thereunder, the advancement and promotion of the interest of harness racing in the United States, the investigation, ascertainment and registration of the pedigrees of such horses, the regulation and government of the conduct of the sport of harness racing, the establishment of rules for the conduct thereof, not inconsistent with the laws of the various states, and the sanctioning of the holding of exhibitions of such horses and meetings for the racing thereof, the issuance of licenses to qualified persons to officiate at harness race meetings and exhibitions, the issuance of licenses to the owners of horses permitting the exhibition and racing of such horses and the qualification thereof, the issuance of licenses to drivers of horses participating in such races or exhibitions, and providing for the enforcement of the rules promulgated by the USTA, and providing for the fixing of penalties, fines, and the suspension or expulsion from membership, or privileges or for any other misconduct detrimental to the sport.
Gaming Taxes and Fees
We believe that the prospect of significant additional tax revenue is one of the primary reasons why jurisdictions have legalized gaming. As a result, gaming operators are typically subject to significant taxes and fees in addition to normal federal and state corporate income taxes. These taxes and fees are subject to increase at any time. We pay substantial taxes and fees with respect to our operations and the State’s share of our gaming win has been increased several times over the past few years. As some of these fees are fixed license fees payable without regard to the level of business we conduct, they may have a material adverse effect on our future financial results if we have a decline in revenues. In addition, any material increase in taxes or fees, or the adoption of additional taxes or fees, may have a material adverse effect on our future financial results.
Compliance with Other Laws
We are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations in addition to gaming regulations. These laws and regulations include, but are not limited to, restrictions and conditions concerning alcoholic beverages, environmental matters, employees, currency transactions, taxation, zoning and building codes, and marketing and advertising. Laws and regulations governing the use and development of real estate may delay or complicate any improvements we choose to make and/or increase the costs of any improvements or our costs of operating.
The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) requires operators of casinos located in the United States to file information returns for United States citizens, including names and addresses of winners, for all winnings in excess of stipulated amounts. The IRS also requires operators to withhold taxes on certain winnings.
Regulations adopted by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network of the Treasury Department (“FinCEN”) require us to report currency transactions in excess of stipulated amounts occurring within a gaming day, including identification of the patron by name and social security number. FinCEN has also established regulations that require us to file suspicious activity reports on all transactions that we know, suspect, or have reason to suspect fall into specific categories that are deemed to be suspicious. We believe our programs meet the requirements of the applicable regulations.
Laws and regulations are always subject to change, can be interpreted differently in the future, and new laws and regulations may be enacted which could adversely affect the tax, regulatory, operational or other aspects of the gaming industry and our company. Furthermore, noncompliance with one or more of these laws and regulation could result in the imposition of substantial penalties against us.
Competition
The gaming industry in the United States is intensely competitive and features many participants, including riverboat casinos, dockside casinos, land-based casinos and racinos, slot and poker machines, whether or not located in casinos, native American gaming, pari-mutuel wagering on live and simulcast horse racing, off-track betting, state run lotteries, internet gambling and other forms of gambling. Gaming competition is particularly intense in each of these sectors.
We compete in local and regional markets with horse tracks and racinos, off-track betting parlors, state run lotteries, casinos, internet gambling and other forms of gaming. In a broader sense, our gaming operations face competition from all manner of leisure and entertainment activities, including shopping, collegiate and professional athletic events, television and movies, concerts and travel. Most of our gaming competitors are in jurisdictions with a lower tax burden and/or are in closer proximity to a higher population base where a higher tax rate can be justified. As gambling opportunities in the region continue to proliferate, there can be no assurance that we will maintain our state or regional market share or be able to compete effectively with our competitors and this could adversely affect our business, financial condition and overall profitability.
The introduction or expansion of gaming in neighboring jurisdictions, particularly Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania or New Jersey, the proliferation of internet gaming or the legalization of additional gaming venues in Delaware, could have a material adverse effect on our cash flows and results of operations. Delaware is surrounded by jurisdictions which permit slot machines, such as Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland and West Virginia, and all of these jurisdictions also permit table games. As of December 31, 2012, no table games were operational in Maryland.
Additional gaming venues have recently opened in Maryland, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. These new venues — particularly a large casino at Arundel Mills Mall in Maryland which opened in June 2012 — are having a significant adverse effect on our visitation numbers, our revenues and our profitability. Management has estimated that approximately 34% of our total gaming win comes from Maryland patrons and approximately 65% of our Capital Club® member gaming win comes from out of state patrons.
All states in our geographic region have state-run lotteries. State run lotteries are no longer prohibited by federal law from offering lottery products or other gaming opportunities over the internet or through mobile applications if permitted by state law.
Delaware and Nevada have passed legislation authorizing internet gaming and other states are pursuing or exploring the legalization of internet gaming in various forms — from state run lotteries to privately run casino games, including online poker. States are aggressively seeking new revenue streams through gaming. New Jersey is expected to pass internet gaming legislation shortly and is also pursuing sports betting despite a federal law that prohibits it from doing so.
Competition in horse racing is varied since racetracks in the surrounding area differ in many respects. Some tracks only offer thoroughbred or harness horse racing; others have both. Tracks have live racing seasons that may or may not overlap with neighboring tracks. Depending on the purse structure, tracks that are farther apart may compete with each other more for quality horses than for patrons.
Live harness racing also competes with simulcasts of thoroughbred and harness racing. All racetracks in the region are involved with simulcasting. In addition, a number of off-track betting parlors compete with track simulcasting activities. With respect to the simulcasting of our live harness races to tracks and other locations, our simulcast signals are in direct competition with live races at the receiving track and other races being simulcast to the receiving location.
Within the State of Delaware, we face little direct live competition from the State’s other two tracks. Harrington Raceway, a south central Delaware fairgrounds track, conducts harness horse racing periodically between April and October. There is no overlap presently with our live race season from Harrington. Delaware Park, a northern Delaware track, conducts thoroughbred horse racing from April through mid-November. Its race season only overlaps with ours for approximately one week each year.
We compete with harness and thoroughbred racing and simulcasting facilities in the neighboring states of Pennsylvania, Maryland and New Jersey. We also receive simulcast harness and thoroughbred races from approximately 80 race tracks.
Competition for our hotel varies and consists of local and regional competition. With respect to hotel accommodations only, we compete with a variety of nearby hotels in the Dover area; however, none of these offer the luxury accommodations and amenities that we offer. Our hotel is the only hotel in the Dover area, and one of only three hotels in the State, to receive the AAA Four Diamond Award. With respect to trade shows, conferences, concerts and hotel room packages tied to these events or tied to our casino and other gaming offerings, we compete at a regional level with the other gaming operations referred to above and with convention centers and larger hotels in major cities such as Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Baltimore and Wilmington.
In addition, our activities compete with other leisure, entertainment and recreational activities.
Mission and Strategy
We offer a unique gaming and entertainment experience and make available to our patrons a number of different options: slot machine gaming, table game wagering, sports wagering, live harness horse racing, luxury hotel accommodations, fine dining, full service spa, national recording and entertainment acts, night club, retail shopping, live boxing, trade shows and conferences, and simulcasting of thoroughbred and harness horse races from across North America. Our mission is simple: to provide all of our customers a premier gaming and entertainment experience with a focus on unparalleled customer service. We foster customer loyalty by following this mission, focus on our most valuable customers, expand and improve the quality of our gaming positions, enhance our gaming products with additional entertainment offerings and create an exciting gaming environment while focusing on areas that we believe will increase our revenue and profitability.
We use a sophisticated database marketing program to enable us to develop long-term relationships with our patrons and to target promotions to specific customer segments. Our Capital Club, a players club and tracking system, allows us to identify customers and to reward their level of play through various marketing programs.
Membership in this club currently stands at approximately 175,000 active patrons. We attempt to increase attendance at both our casino and hotel through effective promotional use of our database and by making improvements to our facilities and gaming offerings based on what we learn from our Capital Club members. For example, we continually add the most popular machines, have added live table games, as well as multi-player electronic table games and other amenities requested by our customers. We expect internet gaming to become operational in the third quarter of 2013.
Our luxury hotel facility, the Dover Downs Hotel, connects to our casino. It is one of only three hotels in Delaware to receive the AAA Four Diamond Award and the only casino hotel in the State. By offering a wide range of entertainment options to our patrons, including concerts featuring prominent entertainers, live boxing, gourmet dining, spa amenities, trade shows and conferences, we believe we are able to attract new patrons and lengthen the stay of current patrons.
We entered into a letter of intent on October 14, 2008 (amended as of August 1, 2012) with UG Entertainment LLC (“UGE”) to provide management services for the operation of a video lottery facility at Underground Atlanta or elsewhere in Atlanta. Such video lottery operations are not presently authorized and would require regulatory action by the Georgia Lottery and likely the support of the Georgia legislature. The letter of intent between us and UGE provides for a five year management agreement and affords us two renewal options for two years each subject to the attainment of certain financial criteria by the new facility. The letter of intent contemplates that the parties will negotiate and enter into an acceptable management agreement with terms and conditions comparable to management agreements of a similar nature. Our compensation would consist of a management fee based on gross revenues and an incentive fee based on net earnings before taxes. The letter of intent also contemplates that we will have the right to purchase up to 10% of the equity of UGE. We intend to pursue similar management opportunities in other jurisdictions.
Seasonality
Our quarterly operating results are affected by weather and the general economic conditions in the United States. Our quarterly operating results are generally distributed evenly throughout the year. However, the results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected in any future period.
Employees
As of December 31, 2012, we had 898 full-time employees and 391 part-time employees. We engage temporary personnel to assist during our live harness racing season. None of our employees are party to a collective bargaining agreement and we believe that our relationship with our employees is good.
Available Information
We file annual, quarterly and current reports, information statements and other information with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The public may read and copy any materials we file with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC also maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC. The address of that site is http://www.sec.gov.
Internet Address
We maintain a website where additional information concerning our business and various upcoming events can be found. The address of our Internet website is http://www.doverdowns.com. We provide a link on our website, under Investor Relations, to our filings with the SEC, including our annual report on Form 10-K, proxy statement, Section 16 reports, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and all amendments to those reports.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to historical information, this report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, relating to our financial condition, profitability, liquidity, resources, business outlook, proposed acquisitions, market forces, corporate strategies, consumer preferences, contractual commitments, legal matters, capital requirements and other matters. Documents incorporated by reference into this report may also contain forward-looking statements. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. To comply with the terms of the safe harbor, we note that a variety of factors could cause our actual results and experience to differ substantially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in our forward-looking statements. When words and expressions such as: “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “plans,” “intends,” “objectives,” “goals,” “aims,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “possible,” “seeks,” “may,” “could,” “should,” “might,” “likely” or similar words or expressions are used, as well as phrases such as “in our view,” “there can be no assurance” or “there is no way to anticipate with certainty,” forward-looking statements may be involved.
In the section that follows below, in cautionary statements made elsewhere in this report, and in other filings we have made with the SEC, we list important factors that could cause our actual results to differ from our expectations. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of the risk factors described below and other factors set forth in or incorporated by reference in this report.
These factors and cautionary statements apply to all future forward-looking statements we make. Many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. Do not put undue reliance on forward-looking statements or project any future results based on such statements or on present or prior earnings levels.
Additional information concerning these, or other factors, which could cause the actual results to differ materially from those in our forward-looking statements is contained from time to time in our other SEC filings. Copies of those filings are available from us and/or the SEC.
We Have a Significant Amount of Indebtedness
As of December 31, 2012, we had total outstanding long-term debt of $58,500,000 under our credit facility. This indebtedness and any future increases in our outstanding borrowings or decreases in our operating profits could:
· make it more difficult for us to satisfy our debt obligations;
· increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions or a downturn in our business;
· increase our costs or create difficulties in refinancing or replacing our outstanding obligations;
· require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, dividends and other general corporate purposes;
· limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate;
· subject us to the risks that interest rates and our interest expense will increase; and
· place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to competitors that have less relative debt.
In addition, our credit facility contains financial ratios that we are required to meet and other restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict our ability to borrow additional funds, make acquisitions, create liens on our properties and make investments. Our ability to meet these financial ratios and covenants can be affected by events beyond our control, and there can be no assurance that we will meet them. If there were an event of default under our credit facility, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable.
New venues — particularly a large casino at Arundel Mills Mall in Maryland which opened in June 2012 — are having a significant adverse effect on our visitation numbers, our revenues and our profitability. As of December 31, 2012, we were in compliance with all terms of our revolving credit facility; however, our projections indicated that we would not be able to comply with certain financial covenants in the facility throughout 2013. On March 12, 2013, we amended our credit agreement to provide for different financial covenants effective for the March 31, 2013 period and for all subsequent periods through the end of the credit agreement, reduce the total maximum borrowing limit and prohibit the payment of dividends. As a result of the amendment, we expect to be in compliance with the financial covenants, and all other covenants, for all measurement periods during the next twelve months.
Our Gaming Activities Compete Directly With Other Gaming Facilities And Other Entertainment Businesses
We compete in local and regional markets with horse tracks and racinos, off-track betting parlors, state run lotteries, casinos, internet gambling and other forms of gaming. In a broader sense, our gaming operations face competition from all manner of leisure and entertainment activities, including shopping, collegiate and professional athletic events, television and movies, concerts and travel. Most of our gaming competitors are in jurisdictions with a lower tax burden. As gambling opportunities in the region continue to proliferate, there can be no assurance that we will maintain our state or regional market share or be able to compete effectively with our competitors and this could adversely affect our business, financial condition and overall profitability.
The introduction or expansion of gaming in neighboring jurisdictions, particularly Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania or New Jersey, the proliferation of internet gaming or the legalization of additional gaming venues in Delaware, could have a material adverse effect on our cash flows and results of operations. Delaware is surrounded by jurisdictions which permit slot machines, such as Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland and West Virginia, and all of these jurisdictions also permit table games. As of December 31, 2012, no table games were operational in Maryland.
Additional gaming venues have recently opened in Maryland, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. These new venues — particularly a large casino at Arundel Mills Mall in Maryland which opened in June 2012 — are having a significant adverse effect on our visitation numbers, our revenues and our profitability. Management has estimated that approximately 34% of our total gaming win comes from Maryland patrons and approximately 65% of our Capital Club® member gaming win comes from out of state patrons.
All states in our geographic region have state-run lotteries. State run lotteries are no longer prohibited by federal law from offering lottery products or other gaming opportunities over the internet or through mobile applications if permitted by state law.
Delaware and Nevada have passed legislation authorizing internet gaming and other states are pursuing or exploring the legalization of internet gaming in various forms — from state run lotteries to privately run casino games, including online poker. States are aggressively seeking new revenue streams through gaming. New Jersey is expected to pass internet gaming legislation shortly and is also pursuing sports betting despite a federal law that prohibits it from doing so.
All Of Our Facilities Are In One Location
Our facilities are located adjacent to one another at a single location in Dover, Delaware. Any prolonged disruption of operations at these facilities due to damage or destruction, inclement weather, natural disaster, work stoppages or other reasons could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. We maintain property and business interruption insurance to protect against certain types of disruption, but there can be no assurance that the proceeds of such insurance would be adequate to repair or rebuild our facilities or to otherwise compensate us for lost profits.
The Revocation, Suspension Or Modification Of Our Gaming Licenses Would Adversely Affect Our Gaming Business
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. Our gaming license must be renewed on an annual basis. To keep our gaming license, we must remain licensed for harness horse racing by the Delaware Harness Racing Commission and conduct at least 80 live race days each racing season, subject to the availability of harness race horses. The Commission has broad discretion to reject any application for a license or suspend or revoke a license once it is issued. The Director of the Delaware State Lottery Office (the “Lottery Director”) has broad discretion to revoke, suspend or modify the terms of our license. Any modification or termination of existing licensing regulations or any revocation, suspension or modification of our licenses could adversely affect our business, financial condition and overall profitability.
Our Gaming Activities Are Subject To Extensive Government Regulation And Any Additional Government Regulation Or Taxation Of Gaming Activities Could Substantially Reduce Our Revenue Or Profit
Slot machine gaming, table games, sports betting, internet gaming, harness horse racing and pari-mutuel wagering are subject to extensive government regulation. Delaware law regulates the win we are entitled to retain and the percentage of commission we are entitled to receive from our gaming revenues, which comprises a significant portion of our overall revenues. The State granted us a license to conduct our gaming operations and a license to conduct harness horse races and pari-mutuel wagering. The laws under which these licenses are granted could be modified or repealed at any time and we could be required to terminate our gaming operations. If we are required to terminate our gaming operations or if the amount of the commission we receive from the State for conducting our gaming operations is decreased, our business operations and overall profitability would be significantly impaired.
On June 28, 2012, the State enacted the Delaware Gaming Competitiveness Act of 2012 (the “Act”), under which Delaware’s video lottery agents will be authorized to offer, through their websites, internet versions of their table games (including poker and bingo) and video lottery offerings. There have been discussions in Congress to regulate various forms of internet gaming and it is possible that new federal laws may preempt state laws relative to the regulation or taxation of internet gaming. Internet gaming may even be proscribed entirely by federal law much as sports betting is proscribed by federal law in all but four states.
We believe that the prospect of significant additional tax revenue is one of the primary reasons why jurisdictions have legalized gaming. As a result, gaming operators are typically subject to significant taxes and fees in addition to normal federal and state corporate income taxes. These taxes and fees are subject to increase at any time. We pay substantial taxes and fees with respect to our operations and the State’s share of our gaming win has been increased several times over the past few years. As some of these fees are fixed license fees payable without regard to the level of business we conduct, they may have a material adverse effect on our future financial results if we have a decline in revenues. In addition, any material increase in taxes or fees, or the adoption of additional taxes or fees, may have a material adverse effect on our future financial results.
We are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations in addition to gaming regulations. These laws and regulations include, but are not limited to, restrictions and conditions concerning alcoholic beverages, environmental matters, employees, currency transactions, taxation, zoning and building codes, and marketing and advertising. Laws and regulations governing the use and development of real estate may delay or complicate any improvements we choose to make and/or increase the costs of any improvements or our costs of operating.
If it is determined that damage to persons or property or contamination of the environment has been caused or exacerbated by the operation or conduct of our business or by pollutants, substances, contaminants or wastes used, generated or disposed of by us, or if pollutants, substances, contaminants or wastes are found on our property, we may be held liable for such damage and may be required to pay the cost of investigation and/or remediation of such contamination or any related damage.
Laws and regulations are always subject to change, can be interpreted differently in the future, and new laws and regulations may be enacted which could adversely affect the tax, regulatory, operational or other aspects of our
gaming operations. Furthermore, noncompliance with one or more of these laws and regulations could result in the imposition of substantial penalties against us or adversely affect our gaming license.
We Do Not Own Or Lease Our Slot Machines And Related Technology
We do not own or lease the slot machines or computer systems used by the State in connection with our video lottery gaming operations. The Lottery Director enters into contracts directly with the providers of the slot machines and computer systems and we are not a party to those negotiations. At our expense, the State purchases or leases all equipment and the Lottery Director licenses all technology providers. Similarly, but at no expense to us, the Lottery Director is expected to enter into contracts directly with internet service providers later in 2013. Our operations could be disrupted if a licensed technology provider violates its agreement with the State or ceases to be licensed for any reason. Such an event would be outside of our control and could adversely affect our gaming revenues.
Due to Our Concentrated Stock Ownership, Stockholders May Have No Effective Voice In Our Management
We have elected to be treated as a “controlled corporation” as defined by New York Stock Exchange Rule 303A. We are a controlled corporation because a single person, Henry B. Tippie, the Chairman of our Board of Directors, controls in excess of fifty percent of our voting power. This means that he has the ability to determine the outcome of the election of directors at our annual meetings and to determine the outcome of many significant corporate transactions, many of which only require the approval of a majority of our voting power. Such a concentration of voting power could also have the effect of delaying or preventing a third party from acquiring us at a premium. In addition, as a controlled corporation, we are not required to comply with certain New York Stock Exchange rules.
Our Success Depends on the Availability and Performance of Key Personnel
Our continued success depends upon the availability and performance of our senior management team which possesses unique and extensive industry knowledge and experience. Our inability to retain and attract key employees in the future could have a negative effect on our operations and business plans.
We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements as a result of future developments, events or conditions. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all such risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ significantly from those forecast in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, stockholders should not overly rely or attach undue weight to our forward-looking statements as an indication of our actual future results.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
We have not received any written comments that were issued within 180 days before December 31, 2012, the end of the fiscal year covered by this report, from the SEC staff regarding our periodic or current reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that remain unresolved.
Item 2. Properties
We own our principal executive office located in Dover, Delaware and the Dover Downs Hotel & Casino. The casino is a 165,000-square foot complex featuring popular table games, including craps, roulette and card games such as blackjack, Spanish 21, baccarat, 3-card and pai gow poker, the latest in slot machine offerings, multi-player electronic table games, the Crown Royal poker room, and our Race & Sports Book operation. The hotel is a 500 room AAA Four Diamond hotel with conference, banquet, ballroom and concert hall facilities. We have a perpetual easement to Dover Downs Raceway — our harness racing track. Our casino offers pari-mutuel wagering on live racing from this raceway and simulcast horse races. The casino facility includes the Dover Downs’ Fire & Ice Lounge, the Festival Buffet, Doc Magrogan’s Oyster House, Frankie’s Italian restaurant, as well as several bars, restaurants and four retail outlets, all of which are located at our entertainment complex situated on approximately 69 acres of owned land.
Prior to our spin-off from DVD in 2002, both companies shared certain real property in Dover, Delaware. At the time of the spin-off, some of this real property was transferred to us to ensure that the real property holdings of each company was aligned with its past uses and future business needs. During our harness racing season, we have historically used the 5/8-mile harness racing track that is located on DVD’s property and is on the inside of its one-mile motorsports superspeedway. In order to continue this historic use, DVD granted a perpetual easement to the harness track to us at the time of the spin-off. This perpetual easement allows us to have exclusive use of the harness track during the period beginning November 1 of each year and ending April 30 of the following year, together with set up and tear down rights for the two weeks before and after such period. The easement requires that we maintain the harness track but does not require the payment of any rent.
Various easements and agreements relative to access, utilities and parking have also been entered into between us and DVD relative to our respective Dover, Delaware facilities. DVD pays rent to us for the lease of its principal executive office space. We also allow DVD to use our indoor grandstands in connection with DVD’s two annual motorsports weekends. We do not assess rent for this nominal use and may discontinue the use at our discretion.
Intellectual Property
We have various registered and common law trademark rights, including, but not limited to, “Dover Downs Gaming & Entertainment,” “Dover Downs,” “Dover Downs Hotel & Casino,” “Capital Club,” “Capital Gold,” “Capital Platinum,” “Capital Elite,” “Delaware Poker Championship,” “Come Play!,” “Sweet Perks,” “Gazebo Bar,” “Winners Circle,” “Michele’s,” “Michele’s at Dover Downs” and “Rollins Center.” We also have limited rights to use the names and logos of other businesses in connection with promoting our facilities and special events at those facilities. Due to the value of our intellectual property rights for promotional purposes, it is our intention to vigorously protect these rights, through litigation, if necessary.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
We are a party to ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business. Management does not believe that the resolution of any of these matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
Not applicable.

In January 2013, our Board of Directors suspended the quarterly dividend. The March 2013 amendment to our credit facility prohibits the payment of dividends.
On October 23, 2002, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 3,000,000 shares of our outstanding common stock. The purchases may be made in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions as conditions warrant. The repurchase authorization has no expiration date, does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares and may be suspended at any time. No repurchases were made in 2012 and we had remaining purchase authority of 1,653,333 shares. At present we are not permitted to make such purchases under our credit facility.
Item 6. Selected Financial Data
Not applicable.
Item 7. Management’s Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results Of Operations
The following discussion is based upon and should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this document.
Dover Downs Gaming & Entertainment, Inc. is a premier gaming and entertainment resort destination whose operations consist of:
· Dover Downs Casino — a 165,000-square foot casino complex featuring popular table games, including craps, roulette and card games such as blackjack, Spanish 21, baccarat, 3-card and pai gow poker, the latest in slot machine offerings, multi-player electronic table games, the Crown Royal poker room, a Race & Sports Book operation, the Dover Downs’ Fire & Ice Lounge, the Festival Buffet, Doc Magrogan’s Oyster House, Frankie’s Italian restaurant, as well as several bars, restaurants and four retail outlets;
· Dover Downs Hotel and Conference Center — a 500 room AAA Four Diamond hotel with a full-service spa/salon, conference, banquet, ballroom and concert hall facilities; and
· Dover Downs Raceway — a harness racing track with pari-mutuel wagering on live and simulcast horse races.
All of our operations are located at our entertainment complex in Dover, the capital of the State of Delaware.
Approximately 90% of our revenue is derived from gaming win. Several factors contribute to the win for any gaming company, including, but not limited to:
· Proximity to major population bases,
· Competition in the market,
· The quantity and types of slot machines and table games available,
· The quality of the physical property,
· Other amenities offered on site,
· Customer service levels,
· Marketing programs, and
· General economic conditions.
We believe that we hold a strong position in each of these areas. Our entertainment complex is located in Dover, the capital of the State of Delaware. We draw patrons from several major metropolitan areas. Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, D.C. are all within a two hour drive. According to the 2010 United States Census, approximately 36.8 million people live within 150 miles of our complex. There are significant barriers to entry related to the gaming business in Delaware. By law, currently only the three existing horse racing facilities in the State are allowed to have a video lottery gaming license. Additional gaming venues have recently opened in Maryland, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. These new venues — particularly a large casino at Arundel Mills Mall in Maryland which opened in June 2012 — are having a significant adverse effect on our visitation numbers, our revenues and our profitability. Our property is similar to properties found in the country’s largest gaming markets. Our luxury hotel is the only casino-hotel in Delaware, providing a strong marketing tool, especially to higher-end players. We also utilize our slot marketing system to allow for more efficient marketing programs and the highest levels of customer service. Our facility offers the most conference space of any hotel in Delaware and was expanded in the first quarter of 2012 to add 6,500 square feet of meeting space.
Because all of our operations are located at one facility, we face the risk of increased competition from the legalization of new or additional gaming venues. We have therefore focused on creating the region’s premier gaming destination and building and rewarding customer loyalty through innovative marketing efforts, unparalleled customer service and a variety of amenities.
Results of Operations
Gaming revenues represent (i) the net win from slot machine, table games and sports wagering and (ii) commissions from pari-mutuel wagering. Other operating revenues consist of hotel rooms revenue, food and beverage sales and other miscellaneous income. Revenues do not include the retail amount of hotel rooms, food and beverage and other miscellaneous goods and services provided without charge to customers as promotional items. The estimated direct cost of providing these items has been charged to the casino through interdepartmental allocations and is included in gaming expenses in the consolidated statement of earnings.
For the casino operations, the difference between the amount wagered by bettors and the amount paid out to bettors is referred to as the win. The win is included in the amount recorded in our consolidated financial statements as gaming revenue. The Delaware State Lottery Office sweeps the win from the casino operations, collects the State’s share of the win and the amount due to the vendors under contract with the State who provide the slot machines and associated computer systems, collects the amount allocable to purses for harness horse racing and remits the remainder to us as our commission for acting as a Licensed Agent. Gaming expenses include the amounts collected by the State (i) for the State’s share of the win, (ii) for remittance to the providers of the slot machines and associated computer systems, and (iii) for harness horse racing purses. We recognize revenues from sports wagering commissions when the event occurs. We recognize revenues from pari-mutuel commissions earned from live harness horse racing and importing of simulcast signals from other race tracks when the race occurs. Revenues from hotel rooms, food and beverage sales and other miscellaneous income are recognized at the time the service is provided.
Year Ended December 31, 2012 vs. Year Ended December 31, 2011
Gaming revenues decreased by $14,360,000, or 6.6%, to $203,055,000 in 2012 as a result of lower win from slot machine play partially offset by an increase in table game revenue. We believe that the decrease in slot win was primarily due to lower attendance at our facility from the opening of a large casino at Arundel Mills Mall in Maryland in June 2012 and their subsequent expansion in September 2012.
Other operating revenues were $22,857,000 in 2012 as compared to $22,527,000 in 2011. Rooms revenue increased $737,000 in 2012 mainly due to an increase in convention sales. Food and beverage revenues decreased $411,000 to $14,172,000 from $14,583,000 in 2011 due primarily to lower sales in our Festival Buffet and lower revenues in many of our other food and beverage outlets from the lower casino attendance. Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase in banquet sales and higher revenues in our Garden Café restaurant. Other operating revenues do not include the retail amount of promotional allowances which are provided to customers on a complimentary basis of $20,471,000 and $20,375,000 in 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Gaming expenses decreased by $10,441,000 primarily from lower gaming taxes as a result of the lower gaming revenues, lower license fees and lower marketing and other expenses in 2012.
On June 28, 2012, the State enacted the Delaware Gaming Competitiveness Act of 2012 which among other things eliminates and restructures certain fees currently paid by video lottery agents. For the period July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012, we paid a $1,540,000 gaming license fee which has been eliminated beginning July 1, 2012. For the period July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013, we paid a $2,241,000 table game license fee which will be reduced beginning July 1, 2013. Based on current business levels, we estimate that this fee will be approximately $1,000,000 for the period July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014.
Other operating expenses decreased slightly to $16,359,000 in 2012 from $16,510,000 in 2011 primarily due to the lower food and beverage revenues which have a higher cost of sales.
General and administrative expenses were $6,034,000 in 2012 as compared to $6,288,000 in 2011. The decrease was primarily due to lower employee benefit costs during 2012, primarily from freezing our pension plan effective July 31, 2011 and lower stock based compensation costs.
Depreciation expense decreased to $10,297,000 in 2012 as compared to $11,665,000 in 2011 primarily as a result of certain assets becoming fully depreciated.
Interest expense decreased by $1,067,000 due to lower outstanding borrowings during 2012 and lower interest rates as a result of entering into a new credit facility on June 17, 2011.
Our effective income tax rate was 43.2% in 2012 as compared to 41.6% in 2011.
Year Ended December 31, 2011 vs. Year Ended December 31, 2010
Gaming revenues increased slightly to $217,415,000 in 2011 from $217,267,000 in 2010 as a result of higher revenue from having a full year of table game operations. Our table game operations began on June 25, 2010 with 40 tables including blackjack, poker, craps and roulette. In July 2010, we added 12 poker tables. Largely offsetting this increase was lower win from slot machine play in our casino. Continuing challenging economic conditions and the related impact on consumer spending and increased competition contributed to the lower slot win. Additionally, Hurricane Irene forced the closure of our facility for almost an entire weekend in August contributing to the decline. Our average number of slot machines was 2,612 in 2011 as compared to 2,824 in 2010. The lower number of slot machines resulted from the removal of machines to make room for our table game operations.
Other operating revenues were $22,527,000 in 2011 as compared to $20,882,000 in 2010. Rooms revenue increased $393,000 in 2011 mainly due to an increase in convention and tour and travel sales and cash sales from our casino customers. Food and beverage revenues increased $909,000 to $14,583,000 from $13,674,000 in 2010 due primarily to higher banquet sales, increased beverage sales in many of our outlets and higher revenues in our Race & Sports book and Michele’s fine dining restaurant. Additionally, we opened a new temporary outlet during Dover
International Speedway’s (a company related through common ownership) two race event weekends that provided a new source of food & beverage revenues. Higher ticket sales for our live concert and boxing events and the promotion of two additional events in 2011 also contributed to the increase. Other operating revenues do not include the retail amount of promotional allowances which are provided to customers on a complimentary basis of $20,375,000 and $18,306,000 in 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Gaming expenses increased by $5,099,000, or 2.7%, primarily as a result of having a full year of our table game operations and higher marketing costs. Partially offsetting these increases were the lower gaming taxes, vendor fees and harness horse racing purses that result from lower slot machine gaming revenues.
Other operating expenses increased by $383,000, or 2.4%, due to the higher revenues. This increase was partially offset by efforts to control costs in our rooms and food and beverage departments.
General and administrative expenses were $6,288,000 in 2011 as compared to $6,922,000 in 2010. The decrease was primarily due to lower employee benefit costs during 2011, primarily from freezing our pension plan, and the expensing of costs related to our terminated merger agreement with Dover Motorsports, Inc during 2010.
Depreciation expense decreased to $11,665,000 in 2011 as compared to $12,059,000 in 2010 primarily as a result of certain assets becoming fully depreciated partially offset by depreciation related to asset additions associated with our table game operations.
Interest expense decreased by $382,000 due to lower outstanding borrowings during 2011 and lower interest rates during the second half of 2011 as a result of entering into a new credit facility during the year.
Our effective income tax rate remained consistent at 41.6% in 2011 as compared to 41.3% in 2010.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash provided by operating activities was $13,166,000 in 2012 compared to $15,651,000 in 2011. The decrease was primarily due to lower net earnings and higher cash paid for taxes, partially offset by the timing of annual license fee payments on our table game operations. We paid two annual license fees on our table game operations in 2011 totaling $4,513,000, which related to the 12 months ended June 30, 2011 and the 12 months ended June 30, 2012. In 2012, we paid one table game license fee of $2,241,000 for the 12 months ending June 30, 2013.
Net cash used in investing activities was $2,625,000 in 2012 compared to $1,930,000 in 2011 and was primarily related to capital improvements. Capital expenditures in 2012 related primarily to the renovation of our Festival Buffet, the construction of additional meeting space, upgrading our computer systems and equipment purchases. Capital expenditures in 2011 related primarily to upgrading our computer systems, replacing our casino carpet and other facility improvements.
Net cash used in financing activities was $14,182,000 in 2012 compared to $13,906,000 in 2011. During 2012, we had net repayments of $10,500,000 on our credit facility compared to $9,600,000 during 2011. We paid $3,575,000 and $3,888,000 in cash dividends during 2012 and 2011, respectively. We repurchased and retired $107,000 of our outstanding common stock during 2012 compared to $150,000 during 2011. On June 17, 2011, we entered into a new credit agreement and paid $268,000 in closing costs.
On January 23, 2013, our Board of Directors suspended the quarterly dividend.
On October 23, 2002, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 3,000,000 shares of our outstanding common stock. The purchases may be made in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions as conditions warrant. The repurchase authorization has no expiration date, does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares and may be suspended at any time. No purchases of our equity securities were made pursuant to this authorization during 2012 or 2011. At December 31, 2012, we had remaining repurchase authority of 1,653,333 shares. At present we are not permitted to make such purchases under our credit facility.
Based on current business conditions, we expect to make capital expenditures of approximately $1,500,000 - $2,000,000 during 2013.
At December 31, 2012, we had an $85,000,000 credit agreement with a bank group. The maximum borrowing limit under the facility reduces to $80,000,000 as of March 31, 2013, $75,000,000 as of March 31, 2014 and the facility expires June 17, 2014. Interest is based upon LIBOR plus a margin that varies between 150 and 225 basis points (200 basis points at December 31, 2012) depending on the ratio of funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (the “leverage ratio”). The credit facility contains certain covenants including minimum interest coverage, maximum funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and minimum tangible net worth. Material adverse changes in our results of operations could impact our ability to satisfy these requirements. In addition, the credit agreement includes a material adverse change clause. The credit facility provides for seasonal funding needs, capital improvements and other general corporate purposes. At December 31, 2012, we were in compliance with all terms of the facility and there was $58,500,000 outstanding at a weighted average interest rate of 2.21%. At December 31, 2012, $26,500,000 was available pursuant to the facility; however, in order to maintain compliance with the required quarterly debt covenant calculations as of December 31, 2012 $5,637,000 could have been borrowed as of that date.
Effective January 15, 2009, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement that effectively converted $35,000,000 of our variable-rate debt to a fixed-rate basis, thereby hedging against the impact of potential interest rate changes on future interest expense. The agreement terminated on April 17, 2012. Pursuant to this agreement, we paid a fixed interest rate of 1.74%, plus a margin that varied between 150 and 225 basis points depending on our leverage ratio. In return, the issuing lender refunded to us the variable-rate interest paid to the bank group under our revolving credit agreement on the same notional principal amount, excluding the margin.
Additional gaming venues have recently opened in Maryland, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. These new venues — particularly a large casino at Arundel Mills Mall in Maryland which opened in June 2012 — are having a significant adverse effect on our visitation numbers, our revenues and our profitability. Management has estimated that approximately 34% of our total gaming win comes from Maryland patrons and approximately 65% of our Capital Club® member gaming win comes from out-of-state patrons. As of December 31, 2012, we were in compliance with all terms of our revolving credit facility; however, our projections indicated that we would not be able to comply with certain financial covenants in the facility throughout 2013. As of December 31, 2012, we have $58,500,000 outstanding under our revolving credit facility which expires on June 17, 2014. On March 12, 2013, we amended our credit agreement to provide for different financial covenants effective for the March 31, 2013 period and for all subsequent periods through the end of the credit agreement, reduce the total maximum borrowing limit and prohibit the payment of dividends. As a result of the amendment, we expect to be in compliance with the financial covenants, and all other covenants, for all measurement periods during the next twelve months.
We expect that our net cash flows from operating activities and funds available from our credit facility will be sufficient to provide for our working capital needs and capital spending requirements at least through the next twelve months. We expect cash flows from operating activities and funds available from our credit facility to also provide for long-term liquidity.
On June 28, 2012, the State enacted the Delaware Gaming Competitiveness Act of 2012 (the “Act”), under which Delaware’s video lottery agents will be authorized to offer, through their websites, internet versions of their table games (including poker) and video lottery offerings. All games will remain under the control and operation of the Delaware Lottery. These internet gaming offerings capitalize on a recent United States Department of Justice ruling clarifying that wagering within a state’s boundaries does not violate the federal Wire Act.
Internet lottery games will, at least initially, be offered solely to persons within the State of Delaware. This territorial limitation would not apply to gaming pursuant to an interstate compact. Internet gaming participation will be limited to persons who meet the age requirements for equivalent non-internet games.
Revenues from the internet versions of table games and video lottery games will be distributed generally pursuant to the formula currently applicable to those games, with the exception that internet service provider costs will be deducted first, and the Lottery will retain the first $3.75 million of state-wide net proceeds. The Act also eliminates and restructures certain fees currently paid by video lottery agents to incentivize agents to make capital
expenditures, spend on marketing and promotions, and make debt service payments. For the period July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012, we paid a $1,540,000 gaming license fee which has been eliminated beginning July 1, 2012. For the period July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013, we paid a $2,241,000 table game license fee which will be reduced beginning July 1, 2013. Based on current business levels, we estimate that this fee will be approximately $1,000,000 for the period July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014.
We anticipate that we will begin offering internet gaming in the third quarter of 2013 once the Delaware Lottery adopts regulations and secures contracts with internet service providers.

Related Party Transactions
See NOTE 10 — Related Party Transactions to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this document for a full description of related party transactions.
Critical Accounting Policies
The accounting policies described below are those considered critical by us in preparing our consolidated financial statements and/or include significant estimates made by management using information available at the time the estimates are made. As described below, these estimates could change materially if different information or assumptions were used.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 10 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment and up to 40 years for facilities. These estimates require assumptions that are believed to be reasonable. We perform reviews for impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Generally, fair value will be determined using valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows.
Accrued Pension Cost
On June 15, 2011, we decided to freeze participation and benefit accruals under our pension plans. The freeze was effective July 31, 2011. The benefits provided by our defined-benefit pension plans are based on years of service and employee’s remuneration through July 31, 2011. Accrued pension costs are developed using actuarial principles and assumptions which consider a number of factors, including estimates for the discount rate and expected long-term rate of return on assets. Changes in these estimates would impact the amounts that we record in our consolidated financial statements and our funding contributions to the plans.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There have been no new accounting pronouncements made effective during the year ended December 31, 2012, or that are not yet effective, that have significance, or potential significance, to our consolidated financial statements.

KPMG LLP independently assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012. KPMG LLP has issued their report which is included herein.
(d) Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Dover Downs Gaming & Entertainment, Inc.:
We have audited Dover Downs Gaming & Entertainment, Inc.’s (the Company’s) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting (Item 9A(c)). Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, Dover Downs Gaming & Entertainment, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Dover Downs Gaming & Entertainment, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive earnings and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2012, and our report dated March 15, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Dover Downs Gaming & Entertainment, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Dover Downs Gaming & Entertainment, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive earnings and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2012. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dover Downs Gaming & Entertainment, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Dover Downs Gaming & Entertainment, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 15, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

All of our operations are located at our entertainment complex in Dover, the capital of the State of Delaware.
Dover Downs Gaming & Entertainment, Inc. is a public holding company that has two wholly owned subsidiaries: Dover Downs, Inc. and Dover Downs Gaming Management Corp. Dover Downs, Inc. was incorporated in 1967 and began motorsports and harness racing operations in 1969. In June of 1994, legislation authorizing video lottery operations in the State of Delaware (the “State”) was adopted. Our casino operations began on December 29, 1995. As a result of several restructurings, Dover Downs, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of Dover Motorsports, Inc. (formerly known as Dover Downs Entertainment, Inc.) (“DVD”), and became the operating entity for all of DVD’s gaming operations.
Dover Downs Gaming & Entertainment, Inc. was incorporated in the State in December of 2001 as a wholly owned subsidiary of DVD. Effective March 31, 2002, DVD completed a tax-free spin-off of its gaming operations by contributing 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Dover Downs, Inc. to Dover Downs Gaming & Entertainment, Inc., and subsequently distributing 100% of our issued and outstanding common stock to DVD stockholders. Immediately following the spin-off, Dover Downs Gaming & Entertainment, Inc. became an independent publicly traded company.
Dover Downs, Inc. 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.
Our license from the Delaware Harness Racing Commission (the “Commission”) to hold harness race meetings on our premises and to offer pari-mutuel wagering on live and simulcast horse races must be renewed on an annual basis. In order to maintain our gaming license, we are required to maintain our harness horse racing license. We have received an annual license from the Commission for the past 44 consecutive years and management believes that our relationship with the Commission remains good.
Due to the nature of our business activities, we are subject to various federal, state and local regulations. As part of our license arrangements, we are subject to various taxes and fees which are subject to change by the Delaware legislature.
Additional gaming venues have recently opened in Maryland, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. These new venues — particularly a large casino at Arundel Mills Mall in Maryland which opened in June 2012 — are having a significant adverse effect on our visitation numbers, our revenues and our profitability. Management has estimated that approximately 34% of our total gaming win comes from Maryland patrons and approximately 65% of our Capital Club® member gaming win comes from out of state patrons.
On June 28, 2012, the State enacted the Delaware Gaming Competitiveness Act of 2012 (the “Act”), under which Delaware’s video lottery agents will be authorized to offer, through their websites, internet versions of their table games (including poker) and video lottery offerings. All games will remain under the control and operation of the Delaware Lottery. These internet gaming offerings capitalize on a recent United States Department of Justice ruling clarifying that wagering within a state’s boundaries does not violate the federal Wire Act.
Internet lottery games will, at least initially, be offered solely to persons within the State of Delaware. This territorial limitation would not apply to gaming pursuant to an interstate compact. Internet gaming participation will be limited to persons who meet the age requirements for equivalent non-internet games.
Revenues from the internet versions of table games and video lottery games will be distributed generally pursuant to the formula currently applicable to those games, with the exception that internet service provider costs will be deducted first, and the Delaware Lottery will retain the first $3.75 million of state-wide net proceeds. The Act also eliminates and restructures certain fees currently paid by video lottery agents to incentivize agents to make capital expenditures, spend on marketing and promotions, and make debt service payments. For the period July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012, we paid a $1,540,000 gaming license fee which has been eliminated beginning July 1, 2012. For the period July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013, we paid a $2,241,000 table game license fee which will be reduced beginning July 1, 2013. Based on current business levels, we estimate that this fee will be approximately $1,000,000 for the period July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014.
We anticipate that we will begin offering internet gaming in the third quarter of 2013 once the Delaware Lottery adopts regulations and secures contracts with internet service providers.
In January 2010, the Delaware legislature authorized table games at the facilities of the State’s three video lottery agents. In June 2010, we opened our table game operations with a full complement of table games. The Crown Royal poker room opened in July 2010.
NOTE 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of consolidation—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dover Downs Gaming & Entertainment, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Accounts receivable—Accounts receivable are stated at their estimated collectible amount and primarily consist of casino, hotel and other receivables which arise in the normal course of business. We issue credit in the form of “markers” to approved casino customers who are investigated as to their credit worthiness.
Investments—Investments, which consist of mutual funds, are classified as available-for-sale and reported at fair-value in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. Changes in fair value are reported in other comprehensive income (loss). See NOTE 8 — Stockholders’ Equity and NOTE 9 — Financial Instruments for further discussion.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—We are subject to interest rate risk on the variable component of the interest rate under our revolving credit agreement. Effective January 15, 2009, we entered into a $35,000,000 interest rate swap agreement. We designated the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge. Changes in the fair value of the effective portion of the interest rate swap were recognized in other comprehensive earnings (loss) until the hedged item was recognized in earnings. The interest rate swap expired in April 2012. See NOTE 5 — Credit Facility and NOTE 9 — Financial Instruments for further discussion.
Inventories—Inventories consisting primarily of food, beverage and operating supplies are stated at the lower of cost or market with cost being determined on the first-in, first-out basis.
Property and equipment—Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is provided for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
|
Facilities |
|
10-40 years |
|
|
Furniture, fixtures and equipment |
|
3-10 years |
|
We perform reviews for impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Generally, fair value will be determined using valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows.
Income taxes—Deferred income taxes are provided on all differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements based upon enacted statutory tax rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Tax years after 2008 remain open to examination for federal and state income tax purposes.
Point loyalty program—We currently have a point loyalty program for our customers which allows them to earn points based on the volume of their gaming activity. All reward points earned by customers are expensed in the period they are earned. The estimated amount of points redeemable for cash is recorded as a reduction of gaming revenue and the estimated amount of points redeemable for services and merchandise is recorded as gaming expense. In determining the amount of the liability, which was $2,012,000 and $2,050,000, respectively, at December 31, 2012 and 2011, we estimate a redemption rate, a cost of rewards to be offered and the mix of cash, goods and services for which reward points will be redeemed. We use historical data to estimate those amounts.
Revenue and expense recognition—Gaming revenues represent (i) the net win from slot machine, table games and sports wagering and (ii) commissions from pari-mutuel wagering. Other operating revenues consist of hotel rooms revenue, food and beverage sales and other miscellaneous income. Revenues do not include the retail amount of hotel rooms, food and beverage and other miscellaneous goods and services provided without charge to customers as promotional items of $20,471,000, $20,375,000 and $18,306,000 for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The estimated direct cost of providing these items has been charged to the casino through interdepartmental allocations and is included in gaming expenses in the consolidated statements of earnings.
For the casino operations, which account for approximately 90% of revenues for all periods presented, the difference between the amount wagered by bettors and the amount paid out to bettors is referred to as the win. The win is included in the amount recorded in our consolidated financial statements as gaming revenue. The Delaware State Lottery Office sweeps the win from the casino operations, collects the State’s share of the win and the amount due to the vendors under contract with the State who provide the slot machines and associated computer systems, collects the amount allocable to purses for harness horse racing and remits the remainder to us as our commission for acting as a Licensed Agent. Gaming expenses include the amounts collected by the State (i) for the State’s share of the win, (ii) for remittance to the providers of the slot machines and associated computer systems, and (iii) for harness horse racing purses. We recognize revenues from sports wagering commissions when the event occurs. We recognize revenues from pari-mutuel commissions earned from live harness horse racing and importing of simulcast signals from other race tracks when the race occurs. Revenues from hotel rooms, food and beverage sales and other miscellaneous income are recognized at the time the service is provided. Amounts received in advance for hotel rooms, convention bookings and advance ticket sales are recorded as deferred revenue until the services are provided to the customer, at which point revenue is recognized.
Advertising costs—The cost of general advertising is charged to operations as incurred.
Net earnings per common share—Nonvested share-based payment awards that include rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, are considered participating securities, and the two-class method of computing basic and diluted net earnings per common share (“EPS”) is applied for all periods presented. The following table sets forth the computation of EPS (in thousands, except per share amounts):

For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, weighted-average options to purchase 9,000 and 438,000 shares of common stock, respectively, were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted EPS because they would have been anti-dilutive. There were no options outstanding during 2012.
Accounting for stock-based compensation—We recorded total stock-based compensation expense for our restricted stock awards of $793,000, $905,000 and $1,192,000 as general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. We recorded income tax benefits of $59,000, $142,000 and $248,000 for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, related to our restricted stock awards.
Use of estimates—The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions are based on our best estimates and judgment. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, which we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We adjust such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Illiquid credit markets, volatile equity markets and declines in consumer spending have combined to increase the uncertainty inherent in such estimates and assumptions. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from these estimates. Changes in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the consolidated financial statements in future periods.
Segment information—We account for operating segments based on those used for internal reporting to management. We report information under a single gaming and entertainment segment.

NOTE 5—Credit Facility
At December 31, 2012, we had an $85,000,000 credit agreement with a bank group. The maximum borrowing limit under the facility reduces to $80,000,000 as of March 31, 2013, $75,000,000 as of March 31, 2014 and the facility expires June 17, 2014. Interest is based upon LIBOR plus a margin that varies between 150 and 225 basis points (200 basis points at December 31, 2012) depending on the ratio of funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (the “leverage ratio”). The credit facility contains certain covenants including minimum interest coverage, maximum funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and minimum tangible net worth. Material adverse changes in our results of operations could impact our ability to satisfy these requirements. In addition, the credit agreement includes a material adverse change clause. The credit facility provides for seasonal funding needs, capital improvements and other general corporate purposes. At December 31, 2012, we were in compliance with all terms of the facility and there was $58,500,000 outstanding at a weighted average interest rate of 2.21%. At December 31, 2012, $26,500,000 was available pursuant to the facility; however, in order to maintain compliance with the required quarterly debt covenant calculations as of December 31, 2012 $5,637,000 could have been borrowed as of that date.
As discussed in NOTE 1 — Business Operations, new venues — particularly a large casino at Arundel Mills Mall in Maryland which opened in June 2012 — are having a significant adverse effect on our visitation numbers, our revenues and our profitability. Our projections indicated that we would not be able to comply with certain financial covenants in our revolving credit facility throughout 2013. On March 12, 2013, we amended our credit agreement to provide for different financial covenants effective for the March 31, 2013 period and for all subsequent periods through the end of the credit agreement, reduce the total maximum borrowing limit and prohibit the payment of dividends. As a result of the amendment, we expect to be in compliance with the financial covenants, and all other covenants, for all measurement periods during the next twelve months.
Effective January 15, 2009, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement that effectively converted $35,000,000 of our variable-rate debt to a fixed-rate basis, thereby hedging against the impact of potential interest rate changes on future interest expense. The agreement terminated on April 17, 2012. Pursuant to this agreement,
we paid a fixed interest rate of 1.74%, plus a margin that varied between 150 and 225 basis points depending on our leverage ratio. In return, the issuing lender refunded to us the variable-rate interest paid to the bank group under our revolving credit agreement on the same notional principal amount, excluding the margin.

NOTE 7—Pension Plans
We maintain a non-contributory, tax qualified defined benefit pension plan that has been frozen since July 2011. All of our full time employees were eligible to participate in this qualified pension plan. Benefits provided by our qualified pension plan were based on years of service and employees’ remuneration over their term of employment. We also maintain a non-qualified, non-contributory defined benefit pension plan, the excess plan, for certain employees that has been frozen since July 2011. This excess plan provided benefits that would otherwise be provided under the qualified pension plan but for maximum benefit and compensation limits applicable under federal tax law. The cost associated with the excess plan is determined using the same actuarial methods and
assumptions as those used for our qualified pension plan. The assets for the excess plan aggregate $239,000 and $213,000 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and are recorded in other assets, net, in our consolidated balance sheets (see NOTE 9 — Financial Instruments).
On June 15, 2011, we decided to freeze participation and benefit accruals under our pension plans, primarily to reduce some of the impact on earnings and volatility in cash flows that can accompany the maintenance of a defined benefit plan. The freeze was effective July 31, 2011. Compensation earned by employees up to July 31, 2011 is used for purposes of calculating benefits under our pension plan with no future benefit accruals after this date. Participants as of July 31, 2011 continue to earn vesting credit with respect to their frozen accrued benefits as they continue to work. We accounted for the freeze of our pension plans in 2011 which resulted in a curtailment gain of $13,000, reduced our liability for pension benefits by $2,006,000 and increased comprehensive earnings by $1,994,000.
We created a new non-elective, non-qualified supplemental executive retirement plan (“SERP”) in connection with the freezing of our pension plan. The SERP has not been funded as of December 31, 2012. Its purpose is to provide deferred compensation to certain highly compensated employees that approximates the value of benefits lost by the freezing of the pension plan which are not offset by our enhanced matching contribution in our 401(k) plan. The SERP is a discretionary defined contribution plan and contributions made to the SERP in any given year are not guaranteed and will be at the sole discretion of our Compensation and Stock Incentive Committee. In 2012, we recorded an expense and a liability for $100,000 in liability for pension benefits in our consolidated balance sheets related to the SERP.
The following table sets forth the plans’ funded status and amounts recognized in our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31:

For 2012, we assumed a long-term rate of return on plan assets of 8.0%. In developing the 8.0% expected long-term rate of return assumption, we reviewed asset class return expectations and long-term inflation assumptions and considered our historical compounded return, which was consistent with our long-term rate of return assumption.
Our investment goals are to achieve a combination of moderate growth of capital and income with moderate risk. Acceptable investment vehicles will include mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), limited partnerships, and individual securities. Our target allocations for plan assets are 60% equities and 40% fixed income. Of the equity portion, 50% will be invested in passively managed securities using ETFs and the other 50% will be invested in actively managed investment vehicles. We address diversification by investing in mutual funds and ETFs which hold large, mid and small capitalization U.S. stocks, international (non-U.S.) equity, REITS, and real assets (consisting of inflation-linked bonds, real estate and natural resources). A sufficient percentage of investments will be readily marketable in order to be sold to fund benefit payment obligations as they become payable.

We have 125,000,000 shares of authorized capital stock which consists of 74,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.10 per share; 50,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $.10 per share; and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.10 per share.
The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share and the holders of our Class A common stock are entitled to 10 votes per share. There is no cumulative voting. Shares of Class A common stock are convertible at any time into our shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis at the option of the stockholder. Subject to rights of any preferred stockholder, holders of our common stock and Class A common stock are entitled to receive on a pro rata basis such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for that purpose. At the discretion of our Board of Directors, we may pay to the holders of common stock a cash dividend greater than the dividend, if any, paid to the holders of Class A common stock.
Under Delaware law, a change of ownership of a Licensed Agent will automatically terminate its license 90 days after the change of ownership occurs, unless the Director of the Delaware State Lottery Office determines after application to issue a new license to the new owners. Change of ownership may occur if any new individual or entity acquires, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the Licensed Agent or if more than 20% of the legal or beneficial interest in the Licensed Agent is transferred, whether by direct or indirect means. The Commission may require extensive background investigations of any new owner acquiring a 10% or greater interest in a Licensed Agent, including criminal background checks. Accordingly, we have a restrictive legend on our shares of common stock which require that (a) any holders of common stock found to be disqualified or unsuitable or not possessing the qualifications required by any appropriate gaming authority could be required to dispose of such stock and (b) any holder of common stock intending to acquire 10% or more of our outstanding common stock must first obtain prior written approval from the Delaware State Lottery Office.
We adopted a stockholder rights plan in 2012. The rights are attached to and trade in tandem with our common stock and Class A common stock. Each right entitles the registered holder to purchase from us one share of common stock. The rights, unless earlier redeemed by our Board of Directors, will detach and trade separately from our common stock upon the occurrence of certain events such as the unsolicited acquisition by a third party of beneficial ownership of 10% or more of our outstanding combined common stock and Class A common stock or the announcement by a third party of the intent to commence a tender or exchange offer for 10% or more of our outstanding combined common stock and Class A common stock. After the rights have detached, the holders of such rights would generally have the ability to purchase such number of either shares of our common stock or stock of an acquirer of ours having a market value equal to twice the exercise price of the right being exercised, thereby causing substantial dilution to a person or group of persons attempting to acquire control of us. The rights may serve as a significant deterrent to unsolicited attempts to acquire control of us, including transactions involving a premium to the market price of our stock. This rights agreement expires on January 1, 2022, unless earlier redeemed.
On January 23, 2013, our Board of Directors suspended the quarterly dividend. The March 2013 amendment to our credit facility prohibits the payment of dividends. See NOTE 5 — Credit Facility.
On October 23, 2002, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 3,000,000 shares of our outstanding common stock. The purchases may be made in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions
as conditions warrant. The repurchase authorization has no expiration date, does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares and may be suspended at any time. No purchases of our equity securities were made pursuant to this authorization during 2012 or 2011. At December 31, 2012, we had remaining repurchase authority of 1,653,333 shares. At present we are not permitted to make such purchases under our credit facility.
During the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, we purchased and retired 49,590, 43,427 and 30,697 shares of our outstanding common stock for $107,000, $150,000 and $117,000, respectively. These purchases were made from employees in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards under our stock incentive plan and were not pursuant to the aforementioned repurchase authorization. Since the vesting of a restricted stock award is a taxable event to our employees for which income tax withholding is required, the plan allows employees to surrender to us some of the shares that would otherwise have vested in satisfaction of their tax liability. The surrender of these shares is treated by us as a purchase of the shares.
We have a stock incentive plan which provides for the grant of up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock to our officers and key employees through stock options and/or awards valued in whole or in part by reference to our common stock, such as nonvested stock awards. Under the plan, option grants must have an exercise price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying shares of common stock at the date of the grant. The stock options have eight-year terms and generally vest equally over a period of six years from the date of grant. Once the options are exercised, our plan requires that the common stock be held for a minimum of one year. The nonvested stock vests an aggregate of twenty percent each year beginning on the second anniversary date of the grant. As of December 31, 2012, there were 832,177 shares available for granting options or stock awards.
There were no outstanding stock options as of December 31, 2011. No stock options were granted or exercised during the three year period ending December 31, 2012. The total fair value of stock options vested during the year ended December 31, 2010 was $1,000. There were no unvested stock options as of December 31, 2010. No compensation expense related to stock options was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 or 2010.
Nonvested restricted stock activity for the year ended December 31, 2012 was as follows:

The total fair value of shares vested during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 based on the weighted average grant date fair value was $986,000, $1,025,000 and $940,000, respectively. The grant-date fair value of restricted stock awards granted during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $2.14, $3.40 and $3.78, respectively. We recorded, within general and administrative expenses, compensation expense of $793,000, $905,000 and $1,192,000 related to restricted stock awards for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As of December 31, 2012, there was $1,507,000 of total deferred compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock awards granted to employees under our stock incentive plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.2 years.
NOTE 9—Financial Instruments
Our financial instruments are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).
The following table summarizes the valuation of our financial instrument pricing levels as of December 31, 2012 and 2011:

Our investments in available-for-sale securities consist of mutual funds. These investments are included in other assets, net on our consolidated balance sheets.
We previously had an interest rate swap agreement effectively converting a portion of the outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit agreement to a fixed-rate, thereby hedging against the impact of potential interest rate changes on future interest expense. The interest rate swap expired in April 2012. At December 31, 2011, the interest rate swap had a negative fair value of $147,000 which is recorded in other liabilities. The fair value of the interest rate swap was based on quotes from the issuer of the swap and represents the estimated amounts that we would expect to pay to terminate the swap. We recognized $83,000 and $272,000, net of income taxes, in unrealized gains on our interest rate swap during 2012 and 2011, respectively.
The carrying amounts of other financial instruments reported in the balance sheet for current assets and current liabilities approximates their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
NOTE 10—Related Party Transactions
During the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, we allocated costs of $1,865,000, $1,963,000 and $1,977,000, respectively to DVD, a company related through common ownership, for certain administrative and operating services, including leased space. DVD allocated certain administrative and operating service costs of $217,000, $347,000 and $222,000, respectively, to us for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010. The allocations were based on an analysis of each company’s share of the costs. In connection with DVD’s 2012, 2011 and 2010 NASCAR event weekends at Dover International Speedway, we provided certain services, primarily catering, for which DVD was invoiced $804,000, $855,000 and $928,000, respectively. Additionally, DVD invoiced us $381,000, $397,000 and $353,000, respectively, for our rental of a skybox suite, tickets, display space, their commission for suite catering and other services at DVD’s 2012, 2011 and 2010 NASCAR event weekends at Dover International Speedway. As of December 31, 2012, there were no balances due between us and DVD. The net costs incurred by each company for these services are not necessarily indicative of the costs that would have been incurred if the companies had been unrelated entities and/or had otherwise independently managed these functions; however, management believes that these costs are reasonable.
Prior to our spin-off from DVD in 2002, both companies shared certain real property in Dover, Delaware. At the time of the spin-off, some of this real property was transferred to us to ensure that the real property holdings of each company was aligned with its past uses and future business needs. During our harness racing season, we have historically used the 5/8-mile harness racing track that is located on DVD’s property and is on the inside of its one-mile motorsports superspeedway. In order to continue this historic use, DVD granted a perpetual easement to the harness track to us at the time of the spin-off. This perpetual easement allows us to have exclusive use of the harness track during the period beginning November 1 of each year and ending April 30 of the following year, together with set up and tear down rights for the two weeks before and after such period. The easement requires that we maintain the harness track but does not require the payment of any rent.
Various easements and agreements relative to access, utilities and parking have also been entered into between us and DVD relative to our respective Dover, Delaware facilities. DVD pays rent to us for the lease of its principal executive office space. We also allow DVD to use our indoor grandstands in connection with DVD’s two annual motorsports weekends. We do not assess rent for this nominal use and may discontinue the use at our discretion.
In conjunction with the spin-off from DVD, we and DVD entered into various agreements that addressed the allocation of assets and liabilities between the two companies and that define the companies’ relationship after the separation. Among these are the Real Property Agreement and the Transition Support Services Agreement.
The Real Property Agreement governs certain real property transfers, leases and easements affecting our Dover, Delaware facility.
The Transition Support Services Agreement provides for each of us and DVD to provide each other with certain administrative and operational services. The party receiving the services is required to pay for them within 30 business days after receipt of an invoice at rates agreed upon by us and DVD. The agreement may be terminated in whole or in part 90 days after the request of the party receiving the services or 180 days after the request of the party providing the services.
Henry B. Tippie, Chairman of our Board of Directors, controls in excess of fifty percent of our voting power. Mr. Tippie’s voting control emanates from his direct and indirect holdings of common stock and Class A common stock, from his status as trustee of the RMT Trust, our largest stockholder, and from certain shares as to which he has voting rights pursuant to a voting agreement with R. Randall Rollins, one of our directors. This means that Mr. Tippie has the ability to determine the outcome of our election of directors and to determine the outcome of many significant corporate transactions, many of which only require the approval of a majority of our voting power.
Patrick J. Bagley, Kenneth K. Chalmers, Denis McGlynn, Jeffrey W. Rollins, John W. Rollins, Jr., R. Randall Rollins, Richard K. Struthers and Henry B. Tippie are all Directors of ours and DVD. Denis McGlynn is the President and Chief Executive Officer of both companies, Klaus M. Belohoubek is the Senior Vice President — General Counsel and Secretary of both companies and Timothy R. Horne is the Senior Vice President — Finance and Chief Financial Officer of both companies. Mr. Tippie controls in excess of fifty percent of the voting power of DVD.
NOTE 11—Commitments and Contingencies
We are a party to ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business. Management does not believe that the resolution of any of these matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
We have employment, severance and noncompete agreements with certain of our officers and directors under which certain change of control, severance and noncompete payments and benefits might become payable in the event of a change in our control, defined to include a tender offer or the closing of a merger or similar corporate transactions. In the event of such a change in our control and the subsequent termination of employment of all employees covered under these agreements, we estimate that the maximum contingent liability would range from $9,000,000 to $10,900,000 depending on the tax treatment of the payments.
To the extent that any of the potential payments or benefits due under the agreements constitute an excess “parachute payment” under the Internal Revenue Code and result in the imposition of an excise tax, each agreement requires that we pay the amount of such excise tax plus any additional amounts necessary to place the officer or director in the same after-tax position as he would have been had no excise tax been imposed. We estimate that the tax gross ups that could be paid under the agreements in the event the agreements were triggered due to a change of control could be between $1,100,000 and $3,000,000 and these amounts have been included in the maximum contingent liability disclosed above. This maximum tax gross up assumes that none of the payments made after the hypothetical change in control would be characterized as reasonable compensation for services rendered. Each agreement with an executive officer provides that fifty percent of the monthly amount paid during the term is paid in consideration of the executive officer’s non-compete covenants. The exclusion of these amounts would reduce the calculated amount of excess parachute payments subject to tax. We are unable to conclude whether the Internal
Revenue Service would characterize all or some of these non-compete payments as reasonable compensation for services rendered.

LOAN MODIFICATION

Re: Amendment No. 4 (revised) to the Letter of Intent (“LOI”) dated October 14, 2008
between Dover Downs Gaming Management Corp. and UG Entertainment, LLC
Dear Dan:
As we have discussed, below are two sections of the original LOI which the parties have agreed to amend and restate as follows:
4.1 Exclusive Dealing. Owner and Operator agree that upon execution of this Letter of Intent, neither party nor their respective Affiliates will enter into or continue any discussions or negotiations with any third parties relating to the ownership, operation, development or management of the VLT Facility or any other VLT facility within the Territory prior to October 14, 2013.
