Note 6—Acquisitions and Dispositions
Greektown Casino-Hotel
On May 23, 2019, the Company acquired all of the membership interests of Greektown Holdings, L.L.C., for a net purchase price of $320.3 million, after working capital and other adjustments, pursuant to a transaction agreement among the Company, VICI Properties L.P., a wholly-owned subsidiary of VICI, and Greektown Mothership LLC. In connection with the acquisition, the real estate assets relating to Greektown were acquired by a subsidiary of VICI for an aggregate sales price of $700.0 million and the Company entered into the Greektown Lease, which has an initial annual rent of $55.6 million and an initial term of 15 years, with four five-year renewal options. The acquisition of the operations was financed through a combination of cash on hand and incremental borrowings under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in Note 11, “Long-term Debt”).
During the first quarter of 2020, the Company finalized the allocation of the purchase price to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the excess recorded as goodwill as follows:

(1)The goodwill has been assigned to our Northeast segment. The entire $67.4 million goodwill amount is deductible for tax purposes.
The Company used the income, market, or cost approach (or a combination thereof) for the valuation, as appropriate, and used valuation inputs in these models and analyses that were based on market participant assumptions. Market participants are considered to be buyers and sellers unrelated to the Company in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Property and equipment acquired consists of non-REIT assets (e.g., equipment for use in gaming operations, furniture and other equipment). We determined that the land and buildings subject to the Greektown Lease, which was entered into at the time of the acquisition, represented operating lease ROU assets with a corresponding operating lease liability calculated based on the present value of the future lease payments at the acquisition date in accordance with GAAP. Management determined the fair value of its office equipment, computer equipment and slot machine gaming devices based on the market approach and other personal property based on the cost approach, supported where available by observable market data, which includes consideration of obsolescence.
Acquired identifiable intangible assets consist of a gaming license and a trademark, which are both indefinite-lived intangible assets, and customer relationships, which is an amortizing intangible asset with an assigned useful life of two years. Management valued (i) the gaming license using the Greenfield Method under the income approach; (ii) the trademark using the relief-from-royalty method under the income approach; and (iii) customer relationships (rated player databases) using the with-and-without method of the income approach. All valuation methods are forms of the income approach supported by observable market data for peer casino operator companies. See Note 2, “Significant Accounting Policies,” for more information.
The following table includes the financial results of Greektown from the acquisition date through December 31, 2019, which is included within our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2019:

On January 1, 2019, the Company acquired the operations of Margaritaville for a net purchase price of $122.9 million, after working capital and other adjustments, pursuant to (i) an agreement and plan of merger (the “Margaritaville Merger Agreement”) among the Company, VICI, Bossier Casino Venture (HoldCo), Inc. (“Holdco”), and Silver Slipper Gaming, LLC, and (ii) a membership interest purchase agreement (the “MIPA”) among VICI and the Company.
Pursuant to the MIPA, HoldCo sold its interests in its sole direct subsidiary and owner of the Margaritaville operating assets, to the Company. In connection with the acquisition, the real estate assets used in the operations of Margaritaville were acquired by VICI for $261.1 million and the Company entered into the Margaritaville Lease, which has an initial annual rent of $23.2 million and an initial term of 15 years, with four five-year renewal options. The acquisition of the operations was financed through incremental borrowings under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility.
During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company finalized the allocation of the purchase price to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the excess recorded as goodwill as follows:

Tropicana Las Vegas
On April 16, 2020, we sold the real estate assets associated with the operations of Tropicana Las Vegas Hotel and Casino, Inc. (“Tropicana”) property to GLPI in exchange for rent credits of $307.5 million, and utilized the rent credits to pay rent under our existing Master Leases and the Meadows Lease, (as defined and discussed in Note 12, “Leases”), beginning in May 2020. Contemporaneous with the sale, the Company entered into the Tropicana Lease, (as defined and discussed in Note 12, “Leases”). Pursuant to the purchase agreement, GLPI would conduct a sale process with respect to both the real estate assets and the operations of Tropicana for up to 24 months (the “Sale Period”), with the Company receiving (i) 75% of the proceeds above $307.5 million plus certain taxes, expenses and costs if an agreement for such sale is signed in the first 12 months of the Sale Period or (ii) 50% of the proceeds above $307.5 million plus certain taxes, expenses and costs if an agreement for such sale is signed in the remainder of the Sale Period.
We recognized a gain on this transaction of $29.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2020, which is included in “General and administrative” within our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
On January 11, 2022, Penn National entered into a definitive purchase agreement to sell its outstanding equity interest in Tropicana, which has the gaming license and operates the Tropicana, to Bally’s Corporation (“Bally’s”). This transaction is expected to close within the second half of 2022, subject to Penn National, GLPI, and Bally’s entering into definitive agreements and obtaining regulatory approval.
Morgantown
On October 1, 2020, we sold the land underlying our Morgantown development project to GLPI in exchange for rent credits of $30.0 million. Contemporaneous with the sale, the Company entered into a triple net lease with GLPI for the land underlying Morgantown (as defined and discussed in Note 12, “Leases”).
As of December 31, 2020, we had utilized all of the rent credits pertaining to the Tropicana and Morgantown transactions which totaled $337.5 million (see Note 12, “Leases”).
HitPoint Inc. and LuckyPoint Inc.
On May 11, 2021, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of HitPoint Inc. and Lucky Point Inc. (collectively, “Hitpoint”). The purchase price totaled $12.7 million, consisting of $6.2 million in cash, $3.5 million of the Company’s common equity, and a $3.0 million contingent liability. The contingent liability is payable in annual installments over three years, through a combination of cash and the Company’s common equity, and is based on achievement of certain performance factors. The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in a recognition of $8.8 million of goodwill, $4.0 million in developed technology which is included in “Other intangible assets, net” within the Consolidated Balance Sheets, along with other miscellaneous operating assets and liabilities. The developed technology is an amortizing intangible asset with an assigned useful life of five years, and was valued using the multi-period excess earnings method, a variation of the income approach, which is supported by observable market data for peer companies.
Hollywood Casino Perryville
On July 1, 2021, we completed the acquisition of the operations of Hollywood Casino Perryville (“Perryville”), from GLPI for a purchase price of $39.4 million, including working capital adjustments. The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of a $12.7 million gaming license asset and a $1.0 million customer relationship asset, both of which are included in “Other intangible assets, net” within our Consolidated Balance Sheets, $9.2 million of goodwill, $8.2 million of tangible long-term assets, comprised primarily of property and equipment, and $8.3 million of various operating assets and
liabilities. Simultaneous with the closing, we entered into a lease with GLPI for the real estate assets associated with Hollywood Casino Perryville for initial annual rent of $7.8 million per year subject to escalation.
The gaming license is an indefinite-lived intangible asset, and the customer relationships is an amortizing intangible asset with a useful life of two years. The Company valued (i) the gaming license using the Greenfield Method, a form of the income approach; (ii) the customer relationships using the “with-and-without” method, a form of the income approach, and (iii) the property and equipment and other various operating assets and liabilities primarily utilizing the cost approach. All valuation methods of the income approach are supported by observable market data for peer casino operator companies.
For the period beginning July 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 Perryville’s revenue and net income included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations were $46.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively.
Sam Houston Race Park and Valley Race Park
On August 1, 2021, we completed the acquisition of the remaining 50% ownership interest in the Sam Houston Race Park in Houston, Texas, the Valley Race Park in Harlingen, Texas, and a license to operate a racetrack in Austin, Texas (collectively, “Sam Houston”), from PM Texas Holdings, LLC for a purchase price of $57.8 million, comprised of $42.0 million in cash and $15.8 million of the Company’s common equity, which was preliminarily allocated to property and equipment. In conjunction with the acquisition, we recorded a gain of $29.9 million on our equity method investment, which is included in “Other” within our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The property and equipment assets were valued using a combination of the market and cost approaches.
Score Media and Gaming Inc.
On October 19, 2021, we acquired 100% of theScore for a purchase price of approximately $2.1 billion. Under the terms of the agreement, 1317774 B.C. Ltd. (the “Purchaser”), an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of Penn National, acquired each of the issued and outstanding theScore shares (other than those held by Penn National and its subsidiaries) for US$17.00 per share in cash consideration, totaling $922.8 million, and either 0.2398 of a share of common stock, par value $0.01 of Penn Common Stock or, if validly elected, 0.2398 of an exchangeable share in the capital of the Purchaser (each whole share, an “Exchangeable Share”), totaling 12,319,340 shares of Penn Common Stock and 697,539 Exchangeable Shares for approximately $1.0 billion. Each Exchangeable Share will be exchangeable into one share of Penn Common Stock at the option of the holder, subject to certain adjustments. In addition, Purchaser may redeem all outstanding Exchangeable Shares in exchange for shares of Penn Common Stock at any time following the fifth anniversary of the closing, or earlier under certain circumstances. The acquisition provides us with the technology, resources and audience reach to accelerate our media and sports betting strategy across North America.
The Company held shares of theScore common stock prior to the acquisition and, as such, the acquisition date estimated fair value of this previously held investment was a component of the purchase consideration. Based on the acquisition date fair value of this investment of $58.9 million, the Company recorded a gain of $2.9 million related to remeasurement of the equity security investment immediately prior to the acquisition date which is included in “Other” within our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The following table reflects the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the excess recorded as goodwill:

The Company used the income, or cost approach for the valuation, as appropriate, and used valuation inputs in these models and analyses that were based on market participant assumptions. Market participants are considered to be buyers and sellers unrelated to the Company in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
Acquired identifiable intangible assets consist of gaming technology, media technology, tradename, advertising relationships, customer relationships, and a re-acquired right. Tradename is an indefinite-lived intangible asset. All other intangible assets are definite-lived with assigned useful lives primarily ranging from 1-7 years. The re-acquired right intangible asset was assigned a 17.8 year useful life based on the remaining term of a pre-acquisition market access contract between Penn National and theScore.
Goodwill, none of which is deductible under the Canadian Income Tax Act, is approximately 81.2% of the net assets acquired and represents synergies, incremental market share capture and expansion into new markets not existing as of the acquisition date, and future technology development.
The following valuation approaches were utilized to determine the fair value of each intangible asset:
Intangible AssetValuation Approach
Gaming technology Relief-from-royalty (variation of income approach)
Media technology Replacement cost
TradenameRelief-from-royalty (variation of income approach)
Advertising relationshipsWith-and-without (variation of income approach)
Customer relationshipsReplacement cost
Re-acquired rightReplacement cost
For the period beginning October 19, 2021 through December 31, 2021 theScore’s revenue and net loss included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations were $7.5 million and $11.9 million, respectively.
