The accompanying condensed notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Eldorado Resorts, Inc. (“ERI” or the “Company”), a Nevada corporation formed in September 2013, and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Company acquired Mountaineer, Presque Isle Downs and Scioto Downs in September 2014 pursuant to a merger (the “MTR Merger”) with MTR Gaming Group, Inc. (“MTR Gaming”) and in November 2015 it acquired Circus Reno and the interests in the Silver Legacy that it did not own prior to such date (the “Reno Acquisition”).

~~Throughout the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, ERI owned and operated the following properties:~~

~~In addition, on May 1, 2017, the Company consummated its acquisition of Isle of Capri Casinos, Inc. and acquired the following properties:~~

On August 22, 2016, Isle entered into an agreement to sell Lake Charles for aggregate consideration of $134.5 million, subject to certain adjustments. The transaction (the “Lake Charles Disposition”) is expected to be completed in 2017, subject to Louisiana Gaming Control Board approval and other customary closing conditions.

On May 1, 2017 (the “Isle Acquisition Date”), the Company completed its acquisition of Isle of Capri Casinos, Inc. pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) dated as of September 19, 2016 with Isle of Capri Casinos, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Isle” or “Isle of Capri”), Eagle I Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Eagle II Acquisition Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Isle Acquisition” or the “Isle Merger”). As a result of the Isle Merger, Isle became a wholly-owned subsidiary of ERI.

In addition, Scioto Downs, through its subsidiary RacelineBet, Inc., also operates Racelinebet.com, a national account wagering service that offers online and telephone wagering on horse races as a marketing affiliate of ~~such borrowings were used (v~~)TwinSpires.com, an affiliate of Churchill Downs Incorporated.

Certain reclassifications of prior year presentations have been made to ~~pay the cash portion of the consideration payable~~ in the Isle Merger, (w) refinance all of Isle’s existing credit facilities, (x) redeem or otherwise repurchase all of Isle’s senior and senior subordinated notes, (y) refinance the Company’s existing credit facility and (z) pay transaction fees and expenses relatedconform to the ~~foregoing (See Note 8 for further discussion of the refinancing transaction and terms of such indebtedness).~~current period presentation.

Acquisition charges attributed to the Isle Acquisition are reported on the accompanying income statement related to legal, accounting, financial advisory services, severance, stock awards and other costs totaling $85.5 million and $87.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, and $0.1 million and $0.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. As of June 30, 2017, $0.7 million of accrued costs and expenses related to the Isle Acquisition are included in accrued other liabilities. Additionally, we recognized a loss of $26.6 million related to the extinguishment of Isle debt and the payment of interest and call premiums in conjunction with the Isle Acquisition.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the Isle Acquisition Date are those of ERI and its subsidiaries. The presentation of information herein for periods prior to the Isle Acquisition Date and after the Isle Acquisition Date are not fully comparable because the results of operations for Isle are not included for periods prior to the Isle Acquisition Date. Summary financial results of Isle for the three and nine months ended January 22, 2017 are included in Isle’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In conjunction with the Isle Acquisition, Isle is no longer required to file quarterly and annual reports with the SEC, and terminated its registration on May 11, 2017.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial

statements contain all adjustments, all of which are normal and recurring, considered necessary for a fair presentation and have been included herein. The results of operations for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for other quarters, for the full year or any future period.

The ~~executive decision maker~~financial information included for periods prior to our acquisition of Isle are those of ERI and its subsidiaries. The presentation of information herein for periods prior to our ~~Company reviews operating~~acquisition of Isle and after our acquisition of Isle are not fully comparable because the results ~~assess performance and make decisions on a “significant market” basis. The Company’s management views each~~ of ~~its properties as an operating segment. Operating segments~~operations for Isle are ~~aggregated based on their similar economic characteristics, types~~not included for periods prior to our acquisition of customers, types of services and products provided, the regulatory environments in which they operate, and their management and reporting structure. Prior to the Isle Acquisition, the Company’s principal operating activities occurred in three geographic regions: Nevada, Louisiana and parts of the eastern United States. The Company aggregated its operations into three reportable segments based on the similar characteristics of the operating segments within the regions in which they operated. Following the Isle Acquisition, the Company’s principal operating activities occur in four geographic regions and reportable segments based on the similar characteristics of the operating segments within the regions in which the Company operates: West, Midwest, South, and East (See Note 13 for the list of properties included in each segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016).Isle.

Marketable securities consist primarily of trading securities held by the Company’s captive insurance subsidiary. The trading securities are primarily debt and equity securities that are purchased with the intention to resell in the near term. The trading securities are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in current period income in the accompanying statements of operations. This accounting policy was implemented as of the Isle Acquisition Date.2017.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements – New Developments and Adoptions of New Accounting Standards

In May ~~2017,~~2014 (amended January 2017), the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting ~~Standards~~Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-09, which amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements. An entity should account for the effects of a modification unless the fair value, vesting conditions, and classification of the awards are the same immediately before and after the modification. The standard is effective for the financial statements issued for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. We anticipate adopting this accounting standard during the first quarter of 2018, and are evaluating the impact on our consolidated financial statements.

~~In May 2014 (amended January 2017), FASB issued ASU No. 2014‑09,~~2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” (ASC Topic 606) which provides ~~guidance for revenue recognition. The new standard outlines~~ a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and eliminates existing industry guidance, including revenue recognition guidance specific to the gaming industry. The FASB has also recently issued several amendments to the standard, including narrow-scope improvements and practical expedients (ASU 2016-12) and clarification on accounting for and identifying performance obligations (ASU 2016-10). The core principle of the revenue model indicates that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or

services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ~~The~~

We adopted this standard ~~is designed~~effective January 1, 2018, and elected to create greater comparability for financial statement users across industries and jurisdictions and also requires enhanced disclosures. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and should be applied usingapply the full retrospective ~~method or retrospectively with the cumulative effect initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application. While early~~ adoption is permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, we anticipate adopting this standard on January 1, 2018. We are currently in the process of evaluating the full impact adoption of ASU 2014‑09 (as amended) will have on our consolidated financial statements including any new considerations with respect to the Isle Acquisition. We anticipate this new standard will likely have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

~~We expect the~~method. The most significant ~~effect upon~~impacts of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 (as amended) will likely be related to 1) the accounting for our customer loyalty program (no longer be recorded at cost, and a deferred revenue model will likely be used to account for the classification and timing of revenue recognized as well as the classification of related expenses for loyalty point redemptions) and 2) the elimination of promotional allowances (the presentation of goods and services provided to our customers without charge, includedare summarized below in gross revenue with a corresponding reduction in promotional allowances, will no longer be reported as revenue and will be recognized based on relative standalone selling prices for transactions with more than one performance obligation). As a result, we expect that gaming revenues will be reduced with a corresponding increase, in total, to food and beverage, hotel, and other revenues. Given our evaluation process is ongoing, the quantitative effects of these changes have not yet been fully determined and are still being analyzed.Note 2.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 which addresses the recognition and measurement of leases. Under the new guidance, for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases), at the commencement date, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis, and a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Further, the new lease guidance simplifies the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and liabilities, which no longer provides a source for off balance sheet financing. The effective date for this update is for the annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. Lessees and lessors must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the consolidated financial statements.

Currently, we do not have any material capital leases nor any material operating leases where we are the lessor. Our operating leases, primarily relating to certain ground leases and slot machines or ~~video lottery terminals (VLTs),~~VLTs, will be recorded on the balance sheet as an ROU asset with a corresponding lease liability, which will be amortized using the effective interest rate method as payments are made. The ROU asset will be depreciated on a straight-line basis and recognized as lease expense. The qualitative and quantitative effects of adoption of ASU 2016-02 are still being analyzed, and we are in the process of evaluating the full effect the new guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements ~~including~~and any new considerations with respect to any pending acquisitions.

In November 2016, ASU No. 2016-18 was issued related to the ~~Isle Acquisition.~~inclusion of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. This new guidance requires that a statement of cash flows present the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalent. This update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company retrospectively adopted this guidance as of December 31, 2017. Upon adoption, the Company included a reconciliation of Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the Consolidated Balance Sheets to the total shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Adoptions of this guidance had no other impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures.

Certain amounts have been retrospectively reclassified for the three months ended March 31, 2017 to conform to the current period presentation and reflect the change in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows required with the adoption of ASU No. 2016-15 as of January 1, 2018 related to the classification of certain items on the statement of cash flows and ASU No 2016-18 as of December 31, 2017 related to the inclusion of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows as further described above.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, “Business Combinations – Clarifying the Definition of a Business.” This amendment is intended to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisition (or disposals) of assets or businesses. Amendments in this update provide a more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities is a business and to provide more consistency in applying the guidance, reduce the costs of application, and make the definition of a business more operable. The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption allowed as follows: (1) transactions for which acquisition date occurs before the issuance date or effective date of the amendments, only when the transaction has not been reported in financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance and (2) transactions in which a subsidiary is deconsolidated or a group of assets is derecognized that occur before the issuance date or effective date of the amendments, only when the transaction has not been reported in financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance. We adopted this accounting standard during the first quarter of 2018, which did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements, and will result in future acquisitions which do not involve substantive processes being accounted for as asset acquisitions.

The Company’s revenue contracts with customers consists primarily of casino wagers, pari-mutuel commissions, food and beverage transactions, hotel sales, retail and entertainment contracts.

The Company recognizes as casino revenue (transaction price) the net win from gaming activities, which is the difference between gaming wins and losses, not the total amount wagered. Progressive jackpots are accrued and charged to revenue at the time the obligation to pay the jackpot is established. Gaming revenues are recognized net of certain cash and free play incentives. Pari-mutuel commissions consist of commissions earned from thoroughbred and harness racing and importing of simulcast signals from other race tracks and are recognized at the time wagers are made. Such commissions are a designated portion of the wagering handle as determined by state racing commissions, and are shown net of the taxes assessed by state and local agencies, as well as purses and other contractual amounts paid to horsemen associations. The Company recognizes revenues from fees earned through the exporting of simulcast signals to other race tracks at the time wagers are made. Such fees are based upon a predetermined percentage of handle as contracted with the other race tracks.

Gaming wager contracts involve two performance obligations for those customers earning points under the Company’s loyalty program and a single performance obligation for customers who don’t participate in the program. The Company applies a practical expedient by accounting for its gaming contracts on a portfolio basis as such wagers have similar characteristics and the Company reasonably expects the effects on the financial statements of applying the revenue recognition guidance to the portfolio to not differ materially from that which would result if applying the guidance to an individual wagering contract.

The Company offers programs at its properties whereby our participating customers can accumulate points for wagering that can be redeemed for credits for free play on slot machines, lodging, food and beverage, merchandise and in limited situations, cash. The incentives earned by customers under these programs are based on previous revenue transactions and represent separate performance obligations. Points earned, less breakage, are recorded as a reduction of casino revenues at the retail value of such benefits owed to the customer and recognized as departmental revenue based on where such points are redeemed, upon fulfillment of the performance obligation. The loyalty program liability represents a deferral of revenue until redemption occurs, which is typically less than one year.

For purposes of allocating the transaction price in a wagering contract between the wagering performance obligation and the obligation associated with the loyalty points earned, the Company allocates an amount to the loyalty point contract liability based on the stand-alone selling price of the points earned, which is determined by the value of a point that can be redeemed for a non-gaming good or service. An amount is allocated to the gaming wager performance obligation using the residual approach as the stand-alone price for wagers is highly variable and no set established price exists for such wagers. The allocated revenue for gaming wagers is recognized when the wagers occur as all such wagers settle immediately. The loyalty point contract liability amount is deferred and recognized as revenue when the customer redeems the points for the non-gaming good or service at the time such goods or services are delivered to the customer.

The Company’s liability for its loyalty point performance obligations totaled $11.5 million and $11.8 million at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Historically, the Company’s loyalty points earned and redeemed are substantially constant over time, which results in the loyalty point performance obligation balance remaining fairly consistent across our reporting periods.

Hotel, food and beverage, and other operating revenues are recognized as services are performed. The transaction price for hotel, food and beverage contracts is the net amount collected from the customer for such goods and services. Hotel, food and beverage services have been determined to be separate, stand-alone performance obligations and the transaction price for such contracts is recorded as revenue as the good or service is transferred to the customer over the customer’s stay at the hotel or when the delivery is made for the food and beverage. Advance deposits for future hotel occupancy, convention space or food and beverage services contracts are recorded as deferred income until the revenue recognition criteria has been met.

The Company also provides goods and services that may include multiple performance obligations, such as for packages, for which revenues are allocated on a pro rata basis based on each service's stand-alone selling price.

The Company offers discretionary coupons and other discretionary complimentaries to customers outside of the loyalty program. The retail value of complimentary food, beverage, hotel rooms and other services provided to customers, including

loyalty point redemptions, is recognized in revenues when the goods or services are transferred to the customer. Complimentaries provided by third parties at the discretion and under the control of the Company is recorded as an expense when incurred. The Company’s revenues included complimentaries and loyalty point redemptions of $47.2 million and $23.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The adoption of ASC Topic 606 on January 1, 2018 principally affected the presentation of promotional allowances and how the Company measured the liability associated with our customer loyalty programs. The presentation of gross revenues for complimentary goods and services provided to guests with a corresponding offsetting amount included in promotional allowances was eliminated. This adjustment in presentation of promotional allowances did not have an impact on the Company’s historically reported net operating revenues. The majority of such amounts previously included in promotional allowances now offset casino revenues based on an allocation of revenues to performance obligations using stand-alone selling price. Food, beverage, lodging and other services furnished to our guests on a complimentary basis are measured at the respective estimated standalone selling prices and included as revenues within food and beverage, lodging, and retail, entertainment and other, which generally resulted in a corresponding decrease in gaming revenues. The costs of providing such complimentary goods and services are included as expenses within food and beverage, lodging, and retail, entertainment and other.

Additionally, as a result of the adoption of the new standard, certain adjustments and other reclassifications to and between revenue categories and to and between expense categories were required; however, the amounts associated with such adjustments did not have a significant impact on the Company’s previously reported operating income or net income.

Liabilities associated with our customer loyalty programs are no longer valued at cost; rather a deferred revenue model is used to account for the classification and timing of revenue to be recognized related to the redemption of loyalty program liabilities by our customers. Points earned under the Company’s loyalty programs are deemed to be separate performance obligations, and recorded as a reduction of casino revenues when earned at the retail value of such benefits owed to the customer and recognized as departmental revenue based on where such points are redeemed, upon fulfillment of the performance obligation.

The Company elected to adopt the full retrospective method to apply the new guidance to each prior reporting period presented as if it had been in effect since January 1, 2015, with a pre-tax cumulative effect adjustment to our retained earnings upon adoption of $4.7 million. Net of tax, the cumulative effect adjustment to our retained earnings upon adoption was $3.5 million. This was primarily related to our loyalty program point liability, which increased from an estimated incremental cost model to a deferred revenue model at retail value.

Adoption of the new standard did not have a significant impact on our previously reported net revenue, expenses, operating income, and net income. The impact of adoption of the new standard to previously reported selected financial statement information was as follows (in thousands):

The Company’s consolidated statement of income presents net revenue disaggregated by type or nature of the good or service (i.e., casino, pari-mutuel, food and beverage, hotel and other). A summary of net revenues disaggregated by type of revenue and reportable segment is presented below (amounts in thousands). Refer to Note 13 for a discussion of the Company’s reportable segments.

On May 1, 2017, the Company completed its acquisition of Isle. As of March 31, 2018, the Company finalized its purchase price accounting related to the Isle Acquisition. The total purchase consideration in the Isle ~~Merger~~Acquisition was determined with reference to the fair value on the date of the Merger Agreement as follows:

The following table summarizes the ~~preliminary~~final purchase accounting of the ~~estimated~~ purchase consideration to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Isle Acquisition as of the Isle Acquisition Date, with the excess recorded as goodwill. The fair values were based on management’s analysis, including ~~preliminary~~ work performed by third-party valuation specialists. The following table summarizes ~~the preliminary~~our final purchase price accounting of the acquired assets and liabilities as of ~~June 30, 2017~~March 31, 2018 (dollars in thousands):

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company finalized its valuation procedures and adjusted the Isle of Capri preliminary purchase price accounting, as disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, to their updated values. Except for other long-term liabilities related to Bettendorf and Nemacolin (see Note 8) and a corresponding goodwill adjustment totaling $6.1 million (net of tax), the finalization of our purchase price accounting resulted in minimal changes and refinements by management as of, and for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Valuation methodologies under both a market and income approach used for the identifiable net assets acquired in the Isle Acquisition make use of Level 1 and Level 3 inputs including quoted prices in active markets and discounted cash flows using current interest rates and are provisional pending development of a final valuation.

Trade receivables and payables, inventory and other current and noncurrent assets and liabilities were valued at the existing carrying values as they represented the estimated fair value of those items at the Isle Acquisition Date, based on management’s ~~judgement~~judgment and estimates.

The fair value of land was determined using the market approach, which arrives at an indication of value by comparing the site being valued to sites that have been recently acquired in arm’s-length transactions. The market data is then adjusted for any significant differences, to the extent known, between the identified comparable sites and the site being valued. Building and site improvements were valued using the cost approach using a direct cost model built on estimates of replacement cost. With respect to personal property components of the assets, personal property assets with an active and identifiable secondary market such as riverboats, gaming equipment, computer equipment and vehicles were valued using the market approach. Other personal property assets such as furniture, fixtures, computer software, and restaurant equipment were valued using the cost approach which is based on replacement or reproduction costs of the asset.

The cost approach is an estimation of fair value developed by computing the current cost of replacing a property and subtracting any depreciation resulting from one or more of the following factors: physical deterioration, functional obsolescence, and/or economic obsolescence. The income approach incorporates all tangible and intangible property and served as a ceiling for the fair values of the acquired assets of the ongoing business enterprise, while still taking into account the premise of highest and best use. In the instance where the business enterprise value developed via the income approach was exceeded by the initial fair values of the underlying assets, an adjustment to reflect economic obsolescence was made to the tangible assets on a pro rata basis to reflect the contributory value of each individual asset to the enterprise as a whole.

The fair value of the gaming licenses was determined using the excess earnings or replacement cost methodology based on the respective states’ legislation. The excess earnings methodology, which is an income approach methodology that allocates the projected cash flows of the business to the gaming license intangible assets less charges for the use of other identifiable assets of Isle including working capital, fixed assets and other intangible assets. This methodology was considered appropriate as the gaming licenses are the primary asset of Isle and the licenses are linked to each respective facility. Under the respective state’s gaming legislation, the property specific licenses can only be acquired if a theoretical

buyer were to acquire each existing facility. The existing licenses could not be acquired and used for a different facility. The properties’ estimated future cash flows were the primary assumption in the respective valuations. Cash flow estimates included net gaming revenue, gaming operating expenses, general and administrative expenses, and tax expense. The replacement cost methodology is a cost approach methodology based on replacement or reproduction cost of the gaming license as an indicator of fair value. The acquired Isle properties currently have licenses in Pennsylvania, Iowa, Missouri, Mississippi, Florida and Colorado. The renewal of each state’s gaming license depends on a number of factors, including payment of certain fees and taxes, providing certain information to the state’s gaming regulator, and meeting certain inspection requirements. However, ERI’s historical experience has not indicated, nor does ERI expect, any limitations regarding its ability to continue to renew each license. No other competitive, contractual, or economic factor limits the useful lives of these assets. Accordingly, ERI has concluded that the useful lives of these licenses are indefinite.

Trademarks are valued using the relief from royalty method, which presumes that without ownership of such trademarks, ERI would have to make a stream of payments to a brand or franchise owner in return for the right to use their name. By virtue of this asset, ERI avoids any such payments and record the related intangible value of ERI’s ownership of the brand name. The primary assumptions in the valuation included revenue, pre-tax royalty rate, and tax expense.

~~ERI~~Trade names were valued using the relief‑from‑royalty method. The loyalty program was valued using a comparative business valuation method. Management has ~~preliminarily~~ assigned trade names an indefinite useful life, ~~to the gaming licenses,~~ in accordance with its review of ~~the~~ applicable guidance of ASC Topic No. 350, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”). The standard required ERI to consider, among other things, the expected use of the asset, the expected useful life of other related asset or asset group, any legal, regulatory, or contractual provisions that may limit the useful life, ERI’s own historical experience in renewing similar arrangements, the effects of obsolescence, demand and other economic factors, and the maintenance expenditures required to obtain the expected cash flows. In that analysis, ERI determined that no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factors limit the useful lives of these intangible assets. ~~The acquired~~

Isle ~~properties currently have licenses in Pennsylvania, Iowa, Missouri, Mississippi, Florida~~Operating Results and Colorado. The renewal of each state’s gaming license depends on a number of factors, including payment of certain fees and taxes, providing certain information to the state’s gaming regulator, and meeting certain inspection requirements. However, ERI’s historical experience has not indicated, nor does ERI expect, any limitations regarding its ability to continue to renew each license. No other competitive, contractual, or economic factor limits the useful lives of these assets. Accordingly, ERI has preliminarily concluded that the useful lives of these licenses are indefinite.Transaction Expenses

For the ~~period from the Isle Acquisition Date through June 30, 2017,~~three months ended March 31, 2018, Isle generated ~~net~~ revenue of ~~$134.3~~$231.9 million and net income of ~~$5.3~~$30.4 million.

Transaction expenses attributed to the Isle Acquisition are reported on the accompanying statements of income related to legal, accounting, financial advisory services, severance, stock awards and other costs and totaled $1.0 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The following unaudited pro forma information presents the results of operations of the Company for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2017 and 2016, which give effect to the Isle Acquisition, the Lake Charles Disposition, and Isle’s sale of the Lady Luck Casino Marquette, which closed on~~ March ~~13,~~31, 2017, as if ~~each of such transactions~~the Isle Acquisition had occurred on January 1, ~~2016~~2017 (in thousands):.

These pro forma results do not necessarily represent the results of operations that would have been achieved if the ~~Isle Acquisition~~acquisition had taken place on January 1, ~~2016,~~2017, nor are they indicative of the results of operations for future periods. The pro forma amounts include the historical operating results of the Company and Isle prior to the Isle Acquisition with adjustments ~~factually supportable and~~ directly attributable to the Isle Acquisition.

On ~~August 22, 2016, Isle~~ February 28, 2018, the Company entered into a definitive ~~agreement~~agreements to sell ~~its casino~~substantially all of the assets and ~~hotel property~~liabilities of Presque Isle Downs and Vicksburg to Churchill Downs Incorporated (“CDI”). Under the terms of the agreements, CDI will purchase Presque Isle Downs for cash consideration of approximately $178.9 million and Vicksburg for cash consideration of approximately $50.6 million, in ~~Lake Charles, Louisiana, for $134.5 million,~~each case subject to a customary ~~purchase price~~working capital adjustment (the “Dispositions”). Additionally, an impairment charge was recorded related to ~~an affiliate of Laguna Development Corporation, a Pueblo of a Laguna-owned business based in Albuquerque, New Mexico.~~ Vicksburg during the three months ended March 31, 2018 (see Note 6).

The ~~transaction is expected to be completed in 2017,~~Dispositions are subject to ~~Louisiana Gaming Board approval~~receipt of required regulatory approvals, termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act (the “HSR Act”) and other customary closing ~~conditions.~~conditions, including, in the case of Presque Isle

The Second Request was issued under the HSR Act. Issuance of the Second Request extends the waiting period under the HSR Act until 30 days after the Company and CDI have substantially complied with the Second Request, unless the waiting period is ~~reflected~~extended voluntarily by the parties or terminated earlier by the FTC. The Company and CDI continue to cooperate fully with the FTC in ~~restricted cash within current assets~~its review.

~~Hotel Partnership.~~ The Company holds a 42.1% variable interest in a partnership with other investors that developed a new 118-room Hampton Inn & Suites hotel at Scioto Downs that opened in March 2017. Pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement, the Company contributed $1.0 million of cash and 2.4 acres of a leasehold immediately adjacent to ~~The Brew Brothers~~ microbrewery and restaurant at Scioto Downs. The partnership constructed the hotel at a cost of $16.0 million and other investor members operate the hotel. The Company is not the primary beneficiary, and therefore, the entity is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. As of June 30, 2017, the Company’s investment in the partnership was $1.0 million, classified as “Investment in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates” in the consolidated balance sheets, representing the Company’s maximum exposure to loss.

The Company has authorized common stock of 100,000,000 shares, par value $0.00001 per share. In February 2018, the Board of Directors approved and adopted an amendment (the “Common Stock Amendment”) to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, subject to approval by the Company’s stockholders that would increase the total number of authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 shares to 200,000,000 shares.

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. Total stock-based compensation expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income totaled $3.7 million and $1.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The Board of Directors (“BOD”) adopted the Eldorado Resorts, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (“2015 Plan”) on January 23, 2015 and our shareholders subsequently approved the adoption of the 2015 Plan on June 23, 2015. The Plan permits the granting of stock options, including incentive stock options (“ERI Stock Options”), stock appreciation rights, restricted stock or restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance awards, and other stock-based awards and dividend equivalents. ERI Stock Options primarily vest ratably over three years and RSUs granted to employees and executive officers primarily vest and become non-forfeitable upon the third anniversary of the date of grant. ~~RSUs granted to~~The stock ownership guidelines require our non-employee directors to hold shares of our common stock with a minimum value equal to five times the director’s annual cash base retainer fee. Prior to achievement of the minimum stock ownership guideline, RSU grants will vest ~~immediately and are delivered upon the date that is the earlier of~~immediately; however, settlement will be mandatorily deferred until termination of ~~service on~~Board service. After minimum stock ownership is achieved, unless the ~~BOD or the consummation of a change of control~~director voluntarily elects to defer settlement of the ~~Company.~~RSUs, the RSUs will vest and be

settled immediately at the time of grant. The performance awards relate to the achievement of defined levels of performance and are generally measured over a one or two-year performance period depending upon the award agreement. If the performance award levels are achieved, the awards earned will vest and become payable at the end of the vesting period, defined as either a one or two calendar year period following the performance period. Payout ranges are from 0% up to 200% of the award target.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the outstanding equity awards of Isle were converted into comparable equity awards of ERI stock as follows:

Isle stock options. Each option or other right to acquire Isle common stock (each an “Isle Stock Option”) that was outstanding immediately prior to the Isle Acquisition Date (whether vested or unvested), as of the Isle Acquisition Date, (i) continued to vest or accelerate (if unvested), as the case may be, in accordance with the applicable Isle stock plan, the award agreement pursuant to which such Isle Stock Option was granted and, if applicable, any other relevant agreements (such as an employment agreement), (ii) ceased to represent an option or right to acquire shares of Isle common stock, and (iii) was converted into an option or right to purchase that number of shares ERI common stock equal to the number of shares of Isle common stock subject to the Isle Stock Option multiplied by the Stock Consideration at an exercise price equal to the exercise price of the Isle Stock Option divided by the Stock Consideration, subject to the same restrictions and other terms as are set forth in the Isle equity incentive plan, the award agreement pursuant to which such Isle Stock Option was granted and, if applicable, any other relevant agreements (such as an employment agreement).

Isle restricted stock awards. Each share of Isle common stock subject to vesting, repurchase or lapse restrictions (each an “Isle Restricted Share”) that was outstanding under any Isle equity plan or otherwise immediately prior to the Isle Acquisition Date, as of the Isle Acquisition Date, continued to vest or accelerate (if unvested), as the case may be, in accordance with the applicable Isle stock plan, the award agreement pursuant to which such Isle Restricted Share was granted, and, if applicable, any other relevant agreements (such as an employment agreement) and was exchanged for shares of ERI common stock (in an amount equal to the Stock Consideration, with aggregated fractional shares rounded to the nearest whole share) and remain subject to the same restrictions and other terms as are set forth in the Isle stock plan, the award agreement pursuant to which such Isle Restricted Share was granted, and, if applicable, any other relevant agreements (such as an employment agreement).

Isle performance stock units. Each performance stock unit (each, an “Isle PSU”) that was outstanding immediately prior to the Isle Acquisition Date, as of the Isle Acquisition Date, (i) continued to vest or accelerate (if unvested), as the case may be, in accordance with the applicable Isle stock plan, the award agreement pursuant to which such Isle PSU was granted, and, if applicable, any other relevant agreements (such as an employment agreement), (ii) was converted into a number of performance stock units in respect of shares of ERI common stock, in an amount equal to the Stock Consideration (with aggregated fractional shares rounded to the nearest whole share) at the target level of performance, and (iii) remain subject to the same restrictions and other terms as are set forth in the Isle stock plan, the award agreement pursuant to which such Isle PSU was granted, and, if applicable, any other relevant agreements (such as an employment agreement).

Isle restricted stock units. Each restricted stock unit, deferred stock unit or phantom unit in respect of a share of Isle common stock granted under the applicable Isle stock plan or otherwise, including any such units held in participant accounts under any employee benefit or compensation plan or arrangement of Isle, other than an Isle PSU (each an “Isle RSU”) that was outstanding immediately prior to the Isle Acquisition Date, as of the Isle Acquisition Date, (i) continued to vest or accelerate (if unvested), as the case may be, in accordance with the applicable Isle stock plan, the award agreement pursuant to which such Isle RSU was granted, and, if applicable, any other relevant agreements (such as an employment agreement or applicable employee benefit plan), (ii) was converted into a number of restricted stock units, deferred stock units or phantom units, as applicable, in respect of shares of ERI common stock, in an amount equal to the Stock Consideration (with aggregated fractional shares rounded to the nearest whole share), and (iii) remain subject to the same restrictions and other terms as are set forth in the Isle stock plan, the award agreement pursuant to which such Isle RSU was granted, and, if applicable, any other relevant agreements (such as an employment agreement or applicable employee benefit plan).

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Total stock-based compensation expense recognized was $1.3 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $3.0 million and $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. In the first quarter of 2016, the Company’s chief operating officer terminated employment and the chief financial officer retired. In conjunction with the termination and retirement, unvested RSUs totaling 167,511, which were outstanding as of December 31, 2015, immediately vested representing an additional $0.5 million included in stock compensation expense during the first quarter of 2016. Additionally, severance costs totaling $1.4 million were recognized in the first quarter of 2016.

These amounts are included in corporate expenses and, in the case of certain property positions, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. We recognized a reduction in income tax expense of $0.5 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $0.6 million and $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, for excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation.

On January 27, 2017, the Company granted 298,761 RSUs (time-based awards and performance awards with a two-year performance period) to executive officers and key employees, and 46,282 RSUs (time-based awards) to non-employee members of the BOD under the 2015 Plan. The performance awards granted in 2017 are subject to a two-year performance period (2017 and 2018), with a one‑year additional vesting requirement, resulting in a total vesting period of three years from the grant date. Performance achievement over the two-year performance period is measured by averaging the level of achievement attained during each of 2017 and 2018. PSUs are earned as follows: 50% of the target number of PSUs will be earned at threshold performance, 100% of the target number of PSUs will be earned at target performance, and up to 200% of the target number of PSUs will be earned at maximum performance. No award is earned if performance falls below the threshold level. Following the end of the two-year performance period, the vesting of earned PSUs are subject to an additional one-year service condition. The January 27, 2017, RSUs had a fair value of $15.50 per unit which was the NASDAQ closing price on that date. An additional ~~39,661~~246,755 RSUs were also granted to key employees during the ~~six months~~year ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2017.

On January 26, 2018, the Company granted 242,939 RSUs (time-based awards and performance awards with a two-year performance period) to executive officers, key employees, and 32,284 RSUs (time-based awards) to non-employee members of the BOD under the 2015 Plan. The RSUs had a fair value of $33.05 per unit which was the NASDAQ closing price on that date. An additional 7,415 RSUs were granted at 116% of target following the finalization of actual results of the first year of the two-year 2017 performance period.

A summary of the RSU activity for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2017~~March 31, 2018 is ~~as follows:~~presented in the following table:

As of June 30, 2017, the Company had approximately $7.7 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested RSUs that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.17 years.

A summary of the ERI Stock Option activity for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2017~~March 31, 2018 is ~~as follows:~~

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we exchanged 1,351,168 non-qualified stock options, which have a maximum term of ten years from the grant date and are exercisable in yearly installments of 20% commencing one year after the grant date. The options have a weighted average per share Isle Acquisition Date fair value of $9.90 utilizing the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model with the range of assumptions disclosedpresented in the following table:

Weighted average volatility is calculated using the historical volatility of our stock price over a range of dates equal to the expected term of the grant’s options. The weighted average expected term is calculated using historical data that is representative of the option for which the fair value is to be determined. The expected term represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The weighted average risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant for the approximate period of time equivalent to the grant’s expected term. The Company’s unrecognized compensation cost for unvested options was $0.3 million as of June 30, 2017.

A summary of the ERI Restricted Stock Awards activity for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2017~~March 31, 2018 is ~~as follows:~~presented in the following table:

There were no options exercised or expired during the three months ended March 31, 2018.

The Company’s unrecognized compensation cost for unvested restricted stock awards was ~~$0.2 million~~$18,000 as of ~~June 30, 2017~~March 31, 2018.

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase prices of acquiring MTR Gaming and Isle over the fair market value of the net assets acquired. In conjunction with the classification of Vicksburg’s operations as assets held for sale (see Note 4) as a result of the announced sale to Churchill Downs Incorporated, an impairment charge totaling $9.8 million was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2018 due to the carrying value exceeding the estimated net sales proceeds.

Gaming licenses represent intangible assets acquired from the purchase of a gaming entity located in a gaming jurisdiction where competition is limited, such as when only a limited number of gaming operators are allowed to operate in the jurisdiction. These gaming license rights are not subject to amortization as the Company has determined that they have an indefinite useful lives.

The SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 118, which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the Tax Act enactment date for companies to complete the accounting under ASC 740. In accordance with SAB 118, a company must reflect the income tax effects of those aspects of the Tax Act for which the accounting under ASC 740 is complete. To the extent that a company’s accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act is incomplete but it is able to determine a reasonable estimate, it must record a provisional estimate in the financial statements. If a company cannot determine a provisional estimate to be included in the financial statements, it should continue to apply ASC 740 on the basis of the provisions of the tax laws that were in effect immediately before the enactment of the Tax Act.

While we have not yet completed all of the computations necessary or completed an inventory of our 2017 expenditures that qualify for immediate deductions, we have recorded a provisional benefit based on our current intent to fully deduct all qualifying expenditures. This did not result in any significant change to our current income tax payable due to our federal and state net operating loss carry forwards.

~~Note 7. Income Taxes~~The Company estimates an annual effective income tax rate based on projected results for the year and applies this rate to income before taxes to calculate income tax expense. Any refinements made due to subsequent information that affects the estimated annual effective income tax rate are reflected as adjustments in the current period.

For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company’s tax expense was $2.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the difference between the effective rate and the statutory rate is attributed primarily to state and local income taxes less excess tax benefits associated with stock compensation. As of March 31, 2018 and 2017, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and the Company does not expect a significant increase or decrease to the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.

The Company and its subsidiaries file US federal income tax returns and various state and local income tax returns. The Company does not have tax sharing agreements with the other members within the consolidated ERI group. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to US federal or state and local tax examinations by tax authorities for years before ~~2009.~~

~~The Company estimates an annual effective income tax rate based on projected results for the year and applies this rate to income before~~ ~~taxes~~ ~~to calculate income tax expense. Any refinements made due to subsequent information that affects the estimated annual effective income tax rate are reflected as adjustments in the current period.~~

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the difference between the effective rate and the statutory rate is attributed primarily to non-deductible transaction costs incurred and changes in the effective state tax rate associated with the Isle Acquisition.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the difference between the effective rate and the statutory rate is attributed primarily to state and local income taxes less excess tax benefits associated with stock compensation.

For income tax purposes the Company amortizes or depreciates certain assets that have been assigned an indefinite life for book purposes. The incremental amortization or depreciation deductions for income tax purposes result in an increase in certain deferred tax liabilities that cannot be used as a source of future taxable income for purposes of measuring the Company’s need for a valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets. Therefore, we expect to record non cash deferred tax expense as we amortize these assets for tax purposes.

~~For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company’s tax benefit from continuing operations was~~ ~~$39.7 million and $39.2 million, respectively.~~ ~~For the three and six months~~ ~~ended June 30, 2016, the Company’s tax expense~~ ~~from continuing operations was~~ ~~$6.0 million and $7.8 million, respectively.

The Company was notified by the Internal Revenue Service in October of 2016 that its federal tax return for the year ended December 31, 2014 had been selected for examination. ~~As of June 30,~~In September 2017, there have been no proposed adjustments. Management believes that its tax positions are appropriate and that an adequate provision has been made for any adjustments that may result from tax examinations. However, the outcome of tax audits cannot be predicted with certainty. If any issues addressed in the Company’s tax audits are resolved in a manner not consistent with management’s expectations, we would be required to adjust our provision for income taxes in the period such resolution occurs. WhileIRS informed the Company ~~believes its reported results are materially accurate, any significant adjustments could have a material adverse effect on~~that they completed the ~~Company’s results of operations, cash flows~~examination of the tax return and ~~financial position if not resolved within expectations.~~made no changes.

In accordance with ASC Topic 470-50, “Debt Modifications and Extinguishments” (“ASC 470-50”), the Company recognized a loss totaling $0.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 as a result of the refinance of the Credit Facility in May 2017.

~~Amortization of the debt issuance costs associated with the 6% Senior Notes and New Credit Facility totaled $1.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.~~ Amortization of debt issuance costs is computed using the effective interest method and is included in interest expense.

Scheduled maturities of long‑term debt are $375.0 million in 2023, $956.8 million in 2024, and $875.0 million in 2025.

In conjunction with the Isle Acquisition, the Company acquired the existing lease and management agreements at its Nemacolin location. Under the terms of the agreements, Nemacolin Woodland Resort (“Resort”) provided land, land improvements and a building for the casino property. In accordance with ASC 840, the Company was deemed, for accounting purposes only, to be the owner of these assets provided by the Resort during the construction and casino operating periods due to the Company’s continuing involvement. Therefore, the transaction was accounted for using the direct financing method. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company recorded property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, of $4.2 million in both periods and a liability of $2.4 million and $4.5 million, respectively, in other long-term liabilities related to the agreement. The decrease in the liability was primarily due to the Company finalizing its purchase price accounting related to the Isle Acquisition as of March 31, 2018.

In conjunction with the Isle Acquisition, the Company acquired the existing lease and management agreements at its Bettendorf location. Under the terms of the agreements with the City of Bettendorf, Iowa, the Company leases, manages, and provides financial and operating support for the convention center (Quad-Cities Waterfront Convention Center).

As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company recorded property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, of $11.8 million and $11.9 million, respectively, and a liability of $5.5 million and $12.5 million, respectively, in other long-term liabilities related to the agreement. The decrease in the liability was primarily due to the Company finalizing its purchase price accounting related to the Isle Acquisition as of March 31, 2018.

On July 23, 2015, the Company issued at par $375.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.0% senior notes due 2023 (“7% Senior Notes”) pursuant to the ~~indenture,~~Indenture, dated as of July 23, 2015 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank, National Association, as Trustee. The 7% Senior Notes are guaranteed by all of the Company’s direct and indirect restricted subsidiaries. CC-Reno, LLC and the Circus and Eldorado Joint Venture, LLC became guarantors in June 2016 upon receipt of the required gaming regulatory approval which occurred in May 2016. The 7% Senior Notes will mature on August 1, 2023, with interest payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year.

On or after August 1, 2018, the Company may redeem all or a portion of the 7% Senior Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, on the 7% Senior Notes redeemed, to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve month period beginning on August 1 of the years indicated below:

The 7% Senior Notes are subject to redemption imposed by gaming laws and regulations of applicable gaming regulatory authorities.

The 7% Senior Notes Indenture contains certain covenants limiting, among other things, the Company’s ability and the ability of its subsidiaries (other than its unrestricted subsidiaries) to:

These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications as set forth in the 7% Senior Notes Indenture. The 7% Senior Notes Indenture also provides for customary events of default which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal of and accrued interest on such 7% Senior Notes to be declared due and payable. As of ~~June 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2018, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants under the ~~indenture~~7% Senior Notes Indenture relating to the 7% Senior Notes.

On March 29, 2017, Eagle II Acquisition Company LLC (“Eagle II”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, issued $375.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “6% Senior Notes”) pursuant to an indenture, dated as of March 29, 2017 (the ~~“New~~“6% Senior Notes Indenture”), between Eagle II and U.S. Bank, National Association, as Trustee. The 6% Senior Notes will mature on April 1, 2025, with interest payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1, commencing October 1, 2017. The proceeds of the offering, and additional funds in the amount of $1.9 million in respect of interest expected to be accrued on the 6% Senior Notes, were placed in escrow pending satisfaction of certain conditions, including consummation of the Isle Acquisition. In connection with the consummation of the Isle Acquisition on May 1, 2017, the escrowed funds were released and ~~ERI~~the Company assumed Eagle II’s obligations under the 6% Senior Notes and the ~~New~~6% Senior Notes Indenture and certain of ~~ERI’s~~the Company’s subsidiaries (including Isle and certain of its subsidiaries) executed guarantees of ~~ERI’s~~the Company’s obligations under the 6% Senior Notes.

On September 13, 2017, the Company issued an additional $500.0 million principal amount of its 6% Senior Notes at an issue price equal to 105.5% of the principal amount of the 6% Senior Notes. The additional notes were issued pursuant to the 6% Senior Notes Indenture that governs the 6% Senior Notes. The Company used the proceeds of the offering to repay $78.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility and used the remainder to repay $444.5 million outstanding borrowings under the term loan facility and related accrued interest.

On or after April 1, 2020, the Company may redeem all or a portion of the 6% Senior Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount) set forth below plus

accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, on the 6% Senior Notes redeemed, to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on April 1 of the years indicated below:

Prior to April 1, 2020, the Company may redeem all or a portion of the 6% Senior Notes at a price equal to 100% of the 6% Senior Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, plus a make-whole premium. At any time prior to ~~August~~April 1, ~~2018,~~2020, the Company is also entitled to redeem up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the 6% Senior Notes with proceeds of certain equity financings at a redemption price equal to 106% of the principal amount of the 6% Senior Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest. If the Company experiences certain change of control events (as defined in the 6% Senior Notes Indenture), it must offer to repurchase the 6% Senior Notes at 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable repurchase date. If the Company sells assets under certain circumstances and does not use the proceeds for specified purposes, the Company must offer to repurchase the 6% Senior Notes at 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable repurchase date.

The 6% Senior Notes are subject to redemption imposed by gaming laws and regulations of applicable gaming regulatory authorities.

The ~~New~~6% Senior Notes Indenture contains certain covenants limiting, among other things, the Company’s ability and the ability of its subsidiaries (other than its unrestricted subsidiaries) to:

These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications as set forth in the 6% Senior Notes Indenture. The ~~New~~6% Senior Notes Indenture also provides for customary events of default which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal of and accrued interest on such 6% Senior Notes to be declared due and payable. As of ~~June 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2018, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants under the ~~indenture~~6% Senior Notes Indenture relating to the 6% Senior Notes.

On July 23, 2015, the Company entered into a ~~new~~ $425.0 million seven year term loan (the “Term Loan”) and a $150.0 million five year revolving credit facility (the ~~“Revolving~~“Prior Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Term Loan, the ~~“Credit~~“Prior Credit Facility”).

The Term Loan bore interest at a rate per annum of, at the Company’s option, either ~~(x)~~ LIBOR plus 3.25%, with a LIBOR floor of 1.0%, or ~~(y)~~ a base rate plus 2.25%. Borrowings under the Prior Revolving Credit Facility bore interest at a rate per annum of, at the Company’s option, either ~~(x)~~ LIBOR plus a spread ranging from 2.5% to 3.25% or ~~(y)~~ a base rate plus a spread ranging from 1.5% to 2.25%, in each case with the spread determined based on the Company’s total leverage ratio. Additionally, the Company paid a commitment fee on the unused portion of the Prior Revolving Credit Facility not being utilized in the amount of 0.50% per annum.

On May 1, 2017, all of the outstanding amounts under the Prior Credit Facility were repaid with proceeds of borrowings under the New Credit Facility ~~(as defined below)~~ and the Prior Credit Facility was terminated.

On April 17, 2017, Eagle II entered into a new credit agreement by and among Eagle II, as initial borrower, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto dated as of April 17, 2017 (the “New Credit Facility”), consisting of a $1.45 billion term loan facility (the “New Term Loan Facility” or “New Term Loan”) and a $300.0 million revolving credit facility (the “New Revolving Credit Facility”), which was undrawn at closing. The proceeds of the New Term Loan Facility, and additional funds in the amount of $4.5 million in respect of interest expected to be accrued on the New Term Loan Facility, were placed in escrow pending satisfaction of certain conditions, including consummation of the Isle Acquisition. In connection with the consummation of the Isle Acquisition on May 1, 2017, the escrowed funds were released and ERI assumed Eagle II’s obligations under the New Credit Facility and certain of ERI’s subsidiaries (including Isle and certain of its subsidiaries) executed guarantees of ERI’s obligations under the New Credit Facility.

As of ~~June 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2018, the Company had ~~$1.45 billion~~$956.8 million outstanding on the New Term ~~Loan and $90.0 million in~~Loan. There were no borrowings outstanding under the New Revolving Credit ~~Facility.~~Facility as of March 31, 2018. The Company had ~~$201.3~~$291.5 million of available borrowing capacity, after consideration of ~~$8.7~~$8.5 million in outstanding letters of credit, under its New Revolving Credit Facility as of ~~June 30, 2017.~~March 31, 2018. We have obtained commitments to increase our revolving credit facility from $300 million to $500 million effective at the time of the consummation of the Tropicana Acquisition. At ~~June 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2018, the weighted average interest rate on the New Term Loan was ~~3.375%, and the weighted average interest rate on the New Revolving Credit Facility was 3.75%~~3.9% based upon the weighted average interest rate of borrowings outstanding ~~on our New Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2017.~~during the three months ended March 31, 2018.

The Company applied the net proceeds of the New Term Loan Facility and borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility, together with the proceeds of the 6% Senior Notes and cash on hand, to (i) pay the cash portion of the consideration payable in the Isle Merger, (ii) refinance all of the debt outstanding under Isle’s existing credit facility, (iii) redeem or otherwise repurchase all of Isle’s outstanding senior and senior subordinated notes, (iv) refinance the Company’s Prior Credit Facility and (v) pay fees and costs associated with the foregoing.

~~The Company~~’~~s obligations under~~We have obtained commitments to increase our revolving credit facility from $300 million to $500 million effective at the ~~New Revolving Credit Facility will mature on April 17, 2022.~~time of the consummation of the Tropicana Acquisition. The Company’s obligations under the New Term Loan Facility will mature on April 17, 2024. The Company ~~is be~~was required to make quarterly principal payments in an amount equal to ~~$3,625,000~~$3.6 million on the New Term Loan Facility on the last day of each fiscal quarter beginning on June 30, ~~2017.~~2017 but satisfied this requirement as a result of the principal prepayment of $444.5 million on September 13, 2017 in conjunction with the issuance of the additional 6% Senior Notes. In addition, the Company is required to make mandatory payments of amounts outstanding under the New Credit Facility with the proceeds of certain casualty events, debt issuances, and asset sales and, depending on its consolidated total leverage ratio, the Company may be required to apply a portion of its excess cash flow to repay amounts outstanding under the New Credit Facility.

The interest rate per annum applicable to loans under the New Revolving Credit Facility are, at our option, either (i) LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.50% or (ii) a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.50%, which margin is based on our total leverage ratio. The interest rate per annum applicable to the loans under the New Term Loan Facility is, at our option, either (i) LIBOR plus 2.25%, or (ii) a base rate plus 1.25%; provided, however, that in no event will LIBOR be less than zero or the base rate be less than 1.00% over the term of the New Term Loan Facility or the New Revolving Credit Facility. Additionally, the Company pays a commitment fee on the unused portion of the New Revolving Credit Facility ~~not being utilized~~ in the amount of 0.50% per annum.

~~The New Credit Facility contains a number of customary covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the Company~~’s ability and the ability of the subsidiary guarantors to incur debt; create liens on collateral; engage in mergers, consolidations or asset dispositions; pay dividends or make distributions; make investments, loans or advances; engage in certain transactions with affiliates or subsidiaries; or modify their lines of business.

The New Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s personal property assets and substantially all personal property assets of each subsidiary that guaranties the New Credit Facility (other than certain subsidiary guarantors designated as immaterial) (the “New Credit Facility Guarantors”), whether owned on the closing date of the New Credit Facility or thereafter acquired, and mortgages on ~~the~~certain real property and improvements owned or leased by us or the New Credit Facility Guarantors. The New Credit Facility is also secured by a pledge of all of the equity owned by the Company and the New Credit Facility Guarantors (subject to certain gaming law restrictions). The credit agreement governing the New Credit Facility contains a number of customary covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the Company’s ability and the ability of the New Credit Facility Guarantors to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, ~~on collateral,~~ engage in mergers, consolidations or asset dispositions, make distributions, make investments, loans or advances, engage in certain transactions with affiliates or subsidiaries or ~~make capital expenditures.~~modify their lines of business.

The New Credit Facility also includes certain financial covenants, including the requirements that we maintain throughout the term of the New Credit Facility and measured as of the end of each fiscal quarter, and solely with respect to loans under the New Revolving Credit Facility, a maximum consolidated total leverage ratio of not more than 6.50 to 1.00 for the period beginning on the closing date and ending with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2018, 6.00 to 1.00 for the period beginning with the fiscal quarter ~~ending~~beginning January 1, 2019 and ending with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2019, and 5.50 to 1.00 for the period beginning with the fiscal quarter ~~ending~~beginning January 1, 2020 and thereafter. The Company will also be required to maintain an interest coverage ratio in an amount not less than 2.00 to 1.00 measured on the last day of each fiscal quarter beginning on the closing date, and ending with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2018, 2.50 to 1.00 for the period beginning with the fiscal quarter ~~ending~~beginning January 1, 2019 and ending with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2019, and 2.75 to 1.00 for the period beginning with the fiscal quarter ~~ending~~beginning January 1, 2020 and thereafter.

The New Credit Facility contains a number of customary events of default, including, among others, for the non-payment of principal, interest or other amounts, the inaccuracy of certain representations and warranties, the failure to perform or observe certain covenants, a cross default to our other indebtedness, including the Notes, certain events of bankruptcy or ~~insolvency;~~insolvency, certain ERISA events, the invalidity of certain loan documents, certain changes of control and the loss of certain classes of licenses to conduct gaming. If any event of default occurs, the lenders under the New Credit Facility would be entitled to take various actions, including accelerating amounts outstanding thereunder and taking all actions permitted to be taken by a secured creditor. As of ~~June 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2018, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the New Credit Facility.

Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Accordingly, fair value is a market based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, there is a three‑tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair values as follows:

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis: The following table sets forth the assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by input level, in the consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 (amounts in thousands):

The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practical to estimate fair value:

Cash and Cash ~~Equivalents:~~Equivalents: Cash equivalents include investments in money market funds. Investments in this category can be redeemed immediately at the current net asset value per share. A money market fund is a mutual fund whose investments are primarily in short‑term debt securities designed to maximize current income with liquidity and capital preservation, usually maintaining per share net asset value at a constant amount, such as one dollar. Cash and cash equivalents also includes cash maintained for gaming operations. The carrying amounts approximate the fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments (Level 1).

Restricted Cash ~~and Investments:~~: Restricted cash includes cash reserved for unredeemed winning tickets from the Company’s racing operations, funds related to horsemen’s fines and certain simulcasting funds that are restricted to payments for improving horsemen’s facilities and racing purses, cash deposits that serve as collateral for letters of credit, surety bonds and short-term certificates of deposit that serve as collateral for certain bonding requirements. The estimated fair values of our restricted cash and investments are based upon quoted prices available in active markets (Level 1), or quoted prices for similar assets in active and inactive markets (Level 2), and represent the amounts we would expect to receive if we sold our restricted cash and investments.Restricted investments, included in Other Assets, net, relate to trading securities pledged as collateral by our captive insurance company.

Accounts Receivable and Credit ~~Risk.~~ RiskFinancial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of casino accounts receivable. The Company issues markers to approved casino customers following background checks and assessments of creditworthiness. Trade receivables, including casino and hotel receivables, are typically non‑interest bearing. Accounts are written off when management deems the account to be uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts previously written off are recorded when received. An estimated allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained to reduce the Company’s receivables to their carrying amount, which approximates fair value.: The allowance is estimated based on specific review of customer accounts as well as historical collection experience and current economic and business conditions. Management believes that no significant concentrations of credit risk related to receivables ~~existed.~~exists.

Marketable Securities: Marketable securities consist primarily of trading securities held the Company’s captive insurance subsidiary. The estimated fair values of the Company’s marketable securities are determined on an individual asset basis based upon quoted prices of identical assets available in active markets (Level 1), quoted prices of identical assets in inactive markets, or quoted prices for similar assets in active and inactive markets (Level 2), and represent the amounts we would expect to receive if we sold these marketable securities.

Long‑term Debt: The fair value of our long-term debt or other long-term obligations is estimated based on the quoted market price of the underlying debt issue (Level 1) or, when a quoted market price is not available, the discounted cash flow of future payments utilizing current rates available to us for the debt of similar remaining maturities (Level 2). Debt obligations with a short remaining maturity have a carrying amount that approximates fair value.

~~Acquisition-Related Contingent Consideration:~~ Contingent consideration related to the July 2003 acquisition of Scioto Downs represents the estimate of amounts to be paid to former stockholders of Scioto Downs under certain earn-out provisions. The Company considers the acquisition related contingency’s fair value measurement, which includes forecast assumptions, to beThere were no transfers between Level ~~3 within the fair value hierarchy.~~1 and Level 2 investments.

Litigation. The Company is a party to various lawsuits, which have arisen in the normal course of business. Estimated losses are accrued for these lawsuits and claims when the loss is probable and can be estimated. The current liability for the estimated losses associated with those lawsuits is not material to the consolidated financial condition and those estimated losses are not expected to have a material impact on the results of operations.

In connection with the Isle Merger, a class action lawsuit was filed by a purported stockholder of the Company alleging breach of fiduciary duty by the Company board of directors in connection with the Isle Merger. The case was filed on November 8, 2016 in the Second Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada and is captioned Assad v. Eldorado Resorts, Inc., et. al, case no. CV 16-02312. The lawsuit, which purported to be a class action on behalf of all of the stockholders of the Company, alleged, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty in failing to disclose all material information to stockholders in seeking approval of the issuance of shares of Company Common Stock in the Isle Merger and requested injunctive relief. In the suit, the Plaintiff sought to enjoin the shareholder meeting to approve the sale. The request to enjoin the shareholder meeting lawsuit has since been withdrawn and, on May 31, 2017, the Court denied plaintiff’s application for an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses. The Company expects this matter to be dismissed.

Agreements with Horsemen and Pari-mutuel ~~Clerks.~~Clerks. The Federal Interstate Horse Racing Act and the state racing laws in West Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania require that, in order to simulcast races, we have written agreements with the horse owners and trainers at those racetracks. In addition, in order to operate slot machines in West Virginia, we are required to enter into written agreements regarding the proceeds of the slot machines (a “proceeds agreement”) with a representative of a majority of the horse owners and trainers and with a representative of a majority of the pari‑mutuel clerks. In Pennsylvania and Ohio, we must have an agreement with the representative of the horse owners. We have the requisite agreements in place with the horsemen at Mountaineer until December 31, 2018. With respect to the Mountaineer pari‑mutuel clerks, we have a labor agreement in force until November 30, ~~2017,~~2018, which will automatically renew for an additional one-year period, and a proceeds agreement until April 14, ~~2018.~~2019. We are required to have a proceeds agreement in effect on July 1 of each year with the horsemen and the pari‑mutuel clerks as a condition to renewal of our video lottery license for such year. If the requisite proceeds agreement is not in place as of July 1 of a particular year, Mountaineer’s application for renewal of its video lottery license could be denied, in which case Mountaineer would not be permitted to operate either its slot machines or table games. Scioto Downs has the requisite agreement in place with the OHHA until December 31, 2023, with automatic two-year renewals unless either party requests re‑negotiation pursuant to its terms. Presque Isle Downs has the requisite agreement in place with the Pennsylvania Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association until May 1,

~~2019.~~ 2021. With the exception of the respective Mountaineer, Presque Isle Downs and Scioto Downs horsemen’s agreements and the agreement between Mountaineer and the pari‑mutuel clerks’ union described above, each of the agreements referred to in this paragraph may be terminated upon written notice by either party.

The Company holds a 42.1% variable interest in a partnership with other investors that developed a new 118-room Hampton Inn & Suites hotel at Scioto Downs that opened in March 2017. Pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement, the Company contributed $1.0 million of cash and 2.4 acres of a leasehold immediately adjacent to The Brew Brothers microbrewery and restaurant at Scioto Downs. The partnership constructed the hotel at a cost of $16.0 million and other investor members operate the hotel.

Presentation of Financial Information

The financial information included in this Item 2 for periods prior to our acquisition of Isle are those of ERI and its subsidiaries. The presentation of information herein for periods prior to our acquisition of Isle and after our acquisition of Isle are not fully comparable because the results of operations for Isle are not included for periods prior to our acquisition of Isle.

Key Performance Metrics

Our primary source of revenue is generated by our gaming operations, but we use our hotels, restaurants, bars, entertainment, retail shops, racing and other services to attract customers to our properties. Our operating results are highly dependent on the volume of customers visiting and staying at our properties. Key performance metrics include volume indicators such as table games drop and slot handle, which refer to amounts wagered by our customers. The amount of volume we retain, which is not fully controllable by us, is recognized as casino revenues and is referred to as our win or hold. In addition, hotel occupancy and price per room designated by average daily rate (“ADR”) are key indicators for our hotel business. Our calculation of ADR consists of the average price of occupied

rooms per day including the impact of resort fees and complimentary rooms. Complimentary room rates are determined based on an analysis of retail or cash rates for each customer segment and each type of room product to estimate complimentary rates which are consistent with retail rates. Complimentary rates are reviewed at least annually and on an interim basis if there are significant changes in market conditions. Complimentary rooms are treated as occupied rooms in our calculation of hotel occupancy.

Significant Factors Impacting Financial Results

The following summary highlights the significant factors impacting our financial results for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2017~~March 31, 2018 and ~~2016.~~2017.

Isle Acquisition– Our results of ~~continuing~~ operations for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 20, 2017~~March 31, 2018 include incremental revenues and expenses ~~for two months (May and June 2017)~~ attributable to the ~~twelve~~thirteen properties we acquired in ~~the Isle Acquisition.~~our acquisition of Isle.

~~Additionally,~~Pending Acquisitions– Transaction expenses related to our pending acquisitions of Grand Victoria Casino and Tropicana Entertainment Inc. totaled $0.6 million and $1.0 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Pending Dispositions – The sales ofPresque Isle Downs and Vicksburg met the requirements for presentation as assets held for sale under generally accepted accounting principles. However, they did not meet the requirements for presentation as discontinued operations and are included in income from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Based on the triggering event, we ~~recognized a loss of $26.6~~recorded an impairment charge for the three months ended March 31, 2018 totaling $9.8 million related to our Vicksburg property.

Lake Charles Terminated Sale – On August 22, 2016, Isle entered into an agreement to sell its casino and hotel property in Lake Charles, Louisiana, for $134.5 million, subject to a customary purchase price adjustment, to an affiliate of Laguna Development Corporation, a Pueblo of Laguna-owned business based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. On November 21, 2017, we terminated the ~~extinguishment~~agreement. The closing of ~~Isle debt~~the transaction was subject to certain closing conditions, including obtaining certain gaming approvals, and was to occur on or before the termination date, which had been extended by the parties to November 20, 2017. The buyer did not obtain the required gaming approvals prior to the termination date, and pursuant to the terms of the agreement, and the ~~payment~~$20.0 million deposit was forfeited upon termination of ~~interest~~the agreement.

In previous periods, the operations of Lake Charles have been classified as discontinued operations and ~~call premiums~~as an asset held for sale. As a result of the termination of the sale, Lake Charles is no longer classified as an asset held for sale and as discontinued operations, and is included in ~~conjunction with~~our results of operations for the ~~Isle Acquisition.~~three months ended March 31, 2018.

~~Debt Refinancing~~ – In connection with the Isle Acquisition, we completed a debt financing transaction comprised of: (a) a senior secured credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.75 billion with a (i) term loan facility of $1.45 billion and (ii) revolving credit facility of $300.0 million and (b) $375.0 million of senior unsecured notes. The proceeds of such borrowings were used (v ~~) to pay the cash portion of the consideration payable~~ in the Isle Merger, (w) refinance all of Isle’s existing credit facilities, (x) redeem or otherwise repurchase all of Isle’s senior and senior subordinated notes, (y) refinance our existing credit facility and (z) pay transaction fees and expenses related to the foregoing. We recognized a loss totaling $0.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 as a result of the debt refinancing transaction (See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for more information related to the debt refinancing).

Income Taxes – On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act makes broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code, including, but not limited to, reducing the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% and has a positive impact on net income.

Severe ~~Reno~~ Weather – Our West segment’s operations are subject to seasonal variation, with our lowest business volume generally occurring during the winter months. The northern Nevada region experienced record snowfall and severe weather conditions, including major snow storms during eleven of the fourteen weekends in the 2017 first quarter, making travel to Reno from northern California, our main feeder market, difficult or impossible due to road closures. As a result, there was a significant adverse effect on business levels, especially hotel occupancy and gaming volume, and our operating performance during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2017 compared to the same prior year period.~~March 31, 2017.

Additionally, our operations were impacted system wide by challenging weather in January and February of 2018 as well as our Reno operations in March of 2018.

~~Gaming Revenues and Pari-Mutuel Commissions~~. Isle contributed $128.8 million of gaming revenues and pari-mutuel commissions for the period from the Isle Acquisition Date through June 30, 2017 consisting primarily of slot and table games revenues. As a result, gaming revenues and pari-mutuel commissions increased 32.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same prior year period.

Excluding incremental Isle gaming revenues and pari-mutuel commissions of $128.8 million, gaming revenues declined 4.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same prior year period primarily due to a decrease in gaming revenues in the West segment and, to a lesser extent, lower gaming revenues in the South segment. The decline in the West segment was mainly attributable to decreases in visitor traffic due to severe weather the northern Nevada region experienced throughout the first quarter of

2017 that resulted in limited access from our main feeder markets combined with the absence of a major bowling tournament in the Reno market. Additionally, reductions in gaming volume driven by decreased high-end play and the continued weakness in the energy sector negatively impacted the Shreveport market and South segment. Efforts to eliminate unprofitable gaming play via reductions in marketing promotions and incentives across the properties also contributed to the declines in casino volume and positively impacted marginsdepreciated across all segments.

~~Non-gaming Revenues. Isle contributed $19.8 million of non-gaming revenues for the period from the Isle Acquisition Date through June 30, 2017 resulting in an increase of 3.3% over the same prior year period.~~

Excluding incremental Isle non-gaming revenues of $19.8 million, non-gaming revenues decreased 11.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same prior year period. The West segment declined for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same prior year period principally due to lower hotel, food and beverage revenues resulting from reduced customer traffic due to fewer convention room nights and the absence of a major bowling tournament during the current year. The South segment decreased in non-gaming revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same prior year period primarily due to decreased food and beverage revenues associated with revisions to marketing strategies resulting in fewer complimentary food offers. Non-gaming revenues in the East segment decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same prior year period primarily due to decreased food and beverage revenues resulting from reductions in complimentary food offers and the consolidation of restaurants in an effort to maximize capacity utilization.

~~Promotional Allowances~~. Promotional allowances, expressed as a percentage of gaming revenues and pari-mutuel commissions, decreased to 11.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to 12.7% for the same prior year period. This decline was primarily due to strategic revisions to promotional offers across all segments.

~~Gaming Expenses and Pari-Mutuel Commissions~~. Isle contributed $59.8 million of gaming expenses and pari-mutuel commissions for the period from the Isle Acquisition Date through June 30, 2017 resulting in an increase of 23.9% over the same prior year period.

Excluding incremental Isle gaming expenses and pari-mutuel commissions, gaming expenses and pari-mutuel commissions decreased 5.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same prior year period primarily due to decreases in gaming volume combined with savings initiatives targeted at reducing variable expenses along with continued synergies related to the integration of the Tri-Properties in the West segment. Additionally, successful efforts to control costs and maximize departmental profit across all segments also drove the decline in expenses during the current period.

~~Non-gaming Expenses~~. Isle contributed $6.6 million of non-gaming expenses for the period from the Isle Acquisition Date through June 30, 2017. Despite this incremental increase, non-gaming expenses decreased 3.7% over the same prior year period.

Excluding incremental Isle non-gaming expenses, non-gaming expenses decreased 14.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same prior year period in conjunction with to lower non-gaming expenses across all segments in conjunction with non-gaming revenue declines.

~~Marketing and Promotions Expenses~~. Isle contributed $8.4 million of marketing and promotions expense for the period from the Isle Acquisition Date through June 30, 2017 resulting in an increase of 56.2% over the same prior year period. Additionally, marketing promotional costs associated with casino initiatives are charged to this category to provide consistency among properties following the Isle Acquisition

Excluding incremental Isle marketing and promotions expenses, consolidated marketing and promotions expense increased 17.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same prior year period. This increase was primarily attributable to increased expenses resulting from higher internet advertising spend, new television media production promoting new product offerings and a shift in marketing spend to targeted direct mail and promotional offers across all segments.

~~General and Administrative Expenses~~. Isle contributed $24.3 million of marketing and promotions expense for the period from the Isle Acquisition Date through June 30, 2017 resulting in an increase of 36.1% over the same prior year period.

Excluding incremental Isle general and administrative expenses, consolidated general and administrative expenses decreased 1.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same 2016. Savings associated with lower property and general liability insurance costs were partially offset by higher expenses associated with information systems maintenance contracts and professional services. These incremental costs resulted from information technology infrastructure projects targeted at consolidating systems for future savings and efficiencies.

~~Corporate Expenses. Isle contributed $2.5 million of corporate expense for the period from the Isle Acquisition Date through June 30, 2017 resulting in an increase of 24.5% over the same prior year period.~~

Excluding incremental Isle corporate expenses, corporate totaled $11.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $11.3 million for the same prior year period. Corporate costs increased slightly as a result of higher stock compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same prior year period due to the three year vesting schedule associated with our long-term incentive plan established in 2015 resulting in three years of grants and related expense in the current period versus two years of grants and related expense in the same prior year period.

~~Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Isle contributed $9.8 million of depreciation expense for the period from the Isle Acquisition Date through June 30, 2017 resulting in an increase of 27.5% over the same prior year period.~~

Excluding incremental Isle depreciation and amortization expense, depreciation and amortization expense decreased 3.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same prior year period mainly due to lower depreciation in all segments due to assets becoming fully depreciated.

Supplemental Unaudited Presentation of Consolidated Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA for the Three ~~and Six~~ Months Ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2018 and 2017 ~~and 2016~~

Adjusted EBITDA (defined below), a ~~non GAAP~~non-GAAP financial measure, has been presented as a supplemental disclosure because it is a widely used measure of performance and basis for valuation of companies in our industry and we believe that this ~~non GAAP~~non-GAAP supplemental information will be helpful in understanding the Company’s ongoing operating results. Adjusted EBITDA represents operating income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, stock based compensation, transaction expenses, severance expense, costs associated with the Vicksburg and Presque sales, impairment charges, equity in income of unconsolidated affiliates, (gain) loss on the sale or disposal of property and equipment, and other ~~expenses.~~regulatory gaming assessments, including the impact of the change in regulatory reporting requirements, to the extent that such items existed in the periods presented. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance

with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US ~~GAAP,~~GAAP”), is unaudited and should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) as an indicator of our operating performance. Uses of cash flows that are not reflected in Adjusted EBITDA include capital expenditures, interest payments, income taxes, debt principal repayments and certain regulatory gaming assessments, which can be significant. As a result, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of our liquidity. Other companies that provide EBITDA information may calculate EBITDA differently than we do. The definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as the definitions used in any of our debt agreements.

The following table summarizes our Adjusted EBITDA for our operating segments for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2018 and 2017, ~~and 2016,~~ in addition to reconciling Adjusted EBITDA to operating income (loss) in accordance with US GAAP (unaudited, in thousands):

These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications as set forth in the 6% Senior Notes Indenture. The ~~New~~6% Senior Notes Indenture also provides for customary events of default which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal of and accrued interest on such 6% Senior Notes to be declared due and payable.

On July 23, 2015, ~~the Company~~we entered into a ~~new~~ $425.0 million seven year term loan ~~(the “Term Loan”)~~ and a $150.0 million five year revolving credit ~~facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Term Loan, the “Credit Facility”).~~facility.

The ~~Term Loan~~term loan bore interest at a rate per annum of, at ~~the Company’s~~our option, either (x) LIBOR plus 3.25%, with a LIBOR floor of 1.0%, or (y) a base rate plus 2.25%. Borrowings under the ~~Revolving Credit Facility~~2015 revolving credit facility bore interest at a rate per annum of, at ~~the Company’s~~our option, either (x) LIBOR plus a spread ranging from 2.5% to 3.25% or (y) a base rate plus a spread ranging from 1.5% to 2.25%, in each case with the spread determined based on ~~the Company’s~~our total leverage ratio. Additionally, ~~the Company~~we paid a commitment fee on the unused portion of the ~~Revolving Credit Facility~~2015 revolving credit facility not being utilized in the amount of 0.50% per annum.

The Credit Facility was secured by substantially all of the Company’s personal property assets and substantially all personal property assets of each subsidiary that guarantied the Credit Facility (other than certain subsidiary guarantors designated as immaterial) (the “Credit Facility Guarantors”), whether owned on the closing date of the Credit Facility or thereafter acquired, and mortgages on the real property and improvements owned or leased us or the Credit Facility Guarantors. The Credit Facility was also secured by a pledge of all of the equity owned by us and the Credit Facility Guarantors (subject to certain gaming law restrictions). The credit agreement governing the Credit Facility contained a number of customary covenants that, among other things, restricted, subject to certain exceptions, the Company’s ability and the ability of the Credit Facility Guarantors to incur additional indebtedness, create liens on collateral, engage in mergers, consolidations or asset dispositions, make distributions, make investments, loans or advances, engage in certain transactions with affiliates or subsidiaries or make capital expenditures.

The credit agreement governing the Credit Facility included requirements the Company maintain a maximum total leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio (adjusting over time). The Company was required to maintain a maximum total leverage ratio of 6.00 to 1.00 from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2017 and 5.00 to 1.00 thereafter. In addition, the Company was required to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio of 2.75 to 1.00 from January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016 and 3.00 to 1.00 thereafter. A default of the financial ratio covenants only became an event of default under the Term Loan if the lenders providing the Revolving Credit Facility made certain affirmative actions after the occurrence of a default of such financial ratio covenants.

The credit agreement governing the Credit Facility contained a number of customary events of default, including, among others, for the non-payment of principal, interest or other amounts, the inaccuracy of certain representations and warranties, the failure to perform or observe certain covenants, a cross default to other indebtedness including the 7% Senior Notes, certain events of

bankruptcy or insolvency, certain ERISA events, the invalidity of certain loan documents, certain changes of control and the loss of certain classes of licenses to conduct gaming. If any event of default occurs, the lenders under the Credit Facility would be entitled to take various actions, including accelerating amounts due thereunder and taking all actions permitted to be taken by a secured creditor.

On May 1, 2017, all of the outstanding amounts under ~~the Credit Facility~~our 2015 credit facility were repaid with proceeds of borrowings under the ~~New Credit Facility~~new credit facility and the ~~Credit Facility~~2015 credit facility was terminated.In accordance with ASC Topic 470-50, “Debt Modifications and Extinguishments” (“ASC 470-50”), we recognized a loss totaling $27.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 as a result of the debt refinancing transaction.

The proceeds of the ~~New Term Loan Facility,~~new term loan facility, and additional funds in the amount of $4.5 million in respect of interest expected to be accrued on the ~~New Term Loan Facility,~~new term loan facility, were placed in escrow pending satisfaction of certain conditions, including consummation of ~~the Isle Acquisition.~~our acquisition of Isle.

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. We ~~do not hold any market risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes. Our primary~~are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily from variable rate long‑term debt arrangements. At March 31, 2018, interest on borrowings under our New Credit Facility was subject to fluctuation based on changes in short-term interest rates.

As of March 31, 2018, our long‑term variable‑rate borrowings totaled $956.8 million under the New Term Loan and represented approximately 43% of our long‑term debt compared to 37% of our long‑term debt as of March 31, 2017. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the weighted average interest rates on our variable and fixed rate debt were 3.9% and 6.3%, respectively.

The Company evaluates its exposure to market risk isby monitoring interest ~~rate risk, specifically long‑term U.S. treasury~~ rates ~~and the applicable spreads~~ in the ~~high‑yield investment risk, short‑term~~marketplace and ~~long‑term LIBOR rates, and short‑term Eurodollar rates, and their potential impact~~has, on ~~our long‑term debt. We attempt~~occasion, utilized derivative financial instruments to ~~limit our exposure to interest rate risk by managing the mix of our long‑term fixed‑rate borrowings and short‑term borrowings under the Credit Facility. We do~~help manage this risk. The Company does not ~~currently~~ utilize derivative financial instruments for trading ~~or speculative~~ purposes. ~~(See also “Liquidity and Capital Resources” above for additional information related to the refinancing of our long‑term debt.)~~

As of June 30, 2017, our long‑term variable‑rate borrowings totaled $1.5 billion comprised of $1.45 billion under the New Term Loan and $90.0 million under the New Revolving Credit Facility and represented approximately 67% of our long‑term debt.

There ~~was~~were no material ~~change~~quantitative changes in ~~interest rate~~our market risk exposure, or how such risks are managed, for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2017 other than as previously discussed in Liquidity and Capital Resources section in Item 2.~~March 31, 2018.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

(a)

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have established and maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports that we file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized, evaluated and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a‑15(e) and 15d‑15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, evaluated and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required ~~disclosure.~~disclosure

(b)

Changes in Internal Controls

Except as noted below, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

On May 1, 2017, we completed the acquisition of Isle. See Part I, Item 1, Condensed Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 2:3: Isle Acquisition and ~~Preliminary~~Final Purchase Price Accounting, for a discussion of the acquisition and related financial data. ~~The Company is~~We are in the process of integrating Isle and our internal controls over financial reporting. As a result of these

integration activities, certain controls will be evaluated and may be changed. Excluding the Isle Acquisition, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are a party to various lawsuits, which have arisen in the normal course of our business. Estimated losses are accrued for these lawsuits and claims when the loss is probable and can be estimated. The current liability for the estimated losses associated with those lawsuits is not material to our consolidated financial condition and those estimated losses are not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations.

Legal matters are discussed in greater detail in “Part I, Item 3. Legal Proceedings” and Note 1615 to our Consolidated Financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016.~~2017.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

A description of our risk factors can be found in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016.~~2017. There have been no material changes to those risk factors during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2017,~~March 31, 2018, except for the following additional risk factors related to ~~the Isle Acquisition.~~certain acquisitions and dispositions.

~~Our operations in certain jurisdictions depend on agreements with third parties.~~

Our operations in several jurisdictions depend on agreements with third parties. If we are unable to renew these agreements on satisfactory terms as they expire, our business may be disrupted and, in the event of disruptions in multiple jurisdictions, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. For example, Iowa law requires that each gambling venue in Iowa must have a licensed “Qualified Sponsoring Organization,” or QSO, which is a tax-exempt non-profit organization. The QSO must donate the profits it receives from casino operations to educational, civic, public, charitable, patriotic or religious uses. Each of our three Iowa properties has an agreement with a local QSO. We have the right to renew our agreements for Bettendorf and Waterloo when they expire in 2025 and 2018, respectively.

We have a management agreement with Nemacolin Woodlands Resort, the owner of the gaming license issued by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board allowing operation of a casino at the resort. Under the terms of this agreement, we constructed and currently operate a casino at the resort. Our management agreement is subject to a buy-out provision on or after December 31, 2021, as well as other terms and conditions which could result in termination of the management agreement. The base term of the agreement is ten years, with four, five-year renewal options. Additionally, each partyFactors Relating to the ~~management agreement has certain termination rights. If the management agreement is terminated, we will no longer have the right to manage our casino at Nemacolin Woodlands Resort.~~

~~Our information technology~~Acquisitions and ~~other systems are subject to cyber security risk including misappropriation of customer information or other breaches of information security.~~

We collect information relating to our guests and employees for various business purposes, including marketing and promotional purposes. The collection and use of personal data are governed by privacy laws and regulations enacted in the United States. We rely on information technology and other systems to maintain and transmit this personal and financial information, credit card settlements, credit card funds transmissions, mailing lists and reservations information. Our information and processes are subject to the ever-changing threat of compromised security, in the form of a risk of potential breach, system failure, computer virus, or unauthorized or fraudulent use by customers, company employees, or employees of third party vendors. The steps we take to deter and mitigate these risks may not be successful, and any resulting compromise or loss of data or systems could adversely impact, operations or regulatory compliance and could result in remedial expenses, fines, litigation, and loss of reputation, potentially impacting our financial results.

In addition, third party service providers and other business partners process and maintain proprietary business information and data related to our guests, suppliers and other business partners. Our information technology and other systems that maintain and transmit this information, or those of service providers or business partners, may also be compromised by a malicious third party penetration of our network security or that of a third party service provider or business partner, or impacted by intentional or unintentional actions or inactions by our employees or those of a third party service provider or business partner. As a result, our business information, guest, supplier, and other business partner data may be lost, disclosed, accessed or taken without their consent.

Any such loss, disclosure or misappropriation of, or access to, guests’ or business partners’ information or other breach of our information security can result in legal claims or legal proceedings, including regulatory investigations and actions, may have a serious impact on our reputation and may adversely affect our businesses, operating results and financial condition. Furthermore, the loss, disclosure or misappropriation of our business information may adversely affect our reputation, businesses, operating results and financial condition.Dispositions

Some of our casinos are located on leased ~~property.~~property and we expect to enter into a master lease with respect to certain properties that we expect to acquire in the Tropicana Acquisition. If we default on one or more leases, the applicable lessors could terminate the affected leases and we could lose possession of the affected casino.

We currently lease certain parcels of land on which several of our properties are ~~located.~~located and we expect to enter into a master lease with respect to six of the properties that we will acquire in the Tropicana Acquisition (the “Master Lease”). As a ground lessee, we have the right to use the leased land; however, we do not hold fee ownership inof the underlying land. Accordingly, with respect to the leased land, we will have no interest in the land or improvements thereon at the expiration of the ground leases. Moreover, since we do not completely control the land underlying the property, a landowner could take certain actions to disrupt our rights in the land leased under the long-term leases which are beyond our control. If the entity owning any leased land chose to disrupt our use either permanently or for a significant period of time, then the value of our assets could be impaired and our business and operations could be adversely affected. Our leases provide that they may be terminated for a number of reasons, including failure to pay rent, taxes or other payment obligations or the breach of other covenants contained in the leases. In particular, the Master Lease is expected to require initial annual rent payments of $110 million and obligate us to make specified minimum capital expenditures with respect to the leased properties. If we were to default on any one or more of these leases, the applicable lessors could terminate the affected leases and we could lose possession of the affected land and any improvements on the land, including the hotels and casinos. ~~This would~~A termination of our ground leases or the master lease could result in a default under our debt agreements and could have a ~~significant~~material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, in the event that any lessor with respect to our leased properties, including properties that will be subject to the Master Lease, encounters financial, operational, regulatory or other challenges, there can be no assurance that such lessor will be able to comply with its obligations under the applicable lease.

The Master Lease is expected to be a triple-net lease. Accordingly, in addition to rent, we will be required to pay, among other things, the following: (1) all facility maintenance, (2) all insurance required in connection with the leased properties and the business conducted on the leased properties, (3) taxes levied on or with respect to the leased properties (other than taxes on the income of the lessor) and (4) all utilities and other services necessary or appropriate for the leased properties and the business conducted on the leased properties. We will be responsible for incurring the costs described in the preceding sentence notwithstanding the fact that many of the benefits received in exchange for such costs shall in part accrue to the lessor as the owner of the associated facilities. In addition, we expect that we will remain obligated for lease payments and other obligations under the Master Lease even if one or more of such leased facilities is unprofitable or if we decide to withdraw from those locations. We could incur special charges relating to the closing of such facilities including lease termination costs, impairment charges and other special charges that would reduce our net income and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Delay or failure to complete the Acquisitions or Dispositions would prevent the Company from realizing the anticipated benefits of the transactions.

Any delay in completing the Acquisitions or Dispositions may reduce the synergies, use of proceeds and other benefits that we anticipate if we successfully complete the transactions within the expected timeframe and integrate our business and the businesses, Tropicana and the Grand Victoria Casino. In addition, the market price of our common stock may reflect various market assumptions as to whether and when the Acquisitions and Dispositions will be completed. Consequently, the completion of, the failure to complete, or any delay in the completion of the Acquisitions or Dispositions could result in significant changes in the market price of our common stock.

The acquisition of Tropicana and the Grand Victoria and the sale of Presque Isle Downs and Vicksburg are subject to the receipt of approvals and clearances that may impose conditions that could have an adverse effect on us or, if not obtained, could prevent completion of the transactions. We may be required to pay significant reverse termination fee if we are unable to obtain regulatory approvals for the Acquisitions.

Completion of each of the Acquisitions and Dispositions is conditioned upon the receipt of certain governmental approvals, including, without limitation, antitrust and gaming regulatory approvals. There can be no assurance that these approvals will be obtained and that the other conditions to completing the Acquisitions and Dispositions will be satisfied in a timely fashion, or at all. In addition, the governmental authorities from which the regulatory approvals are required may impose conditions on the completion of the transactions or require changes to the terms of the agreements governing the transactions. Such conditions or changes and the process of obtaining regulatory approvals could have the effect of delaying or impeding consummation of the Acquisitions and Dispositions or of imposing additional costs or limitations on us following completion of the transactions, any of which might have an adverse effect on us.

In addition, if we fail to obtain required regulatory approvals for the Tropicana Acquisition, we may be required to pay a reverse termination fee of $92.5 million and could be liable for additional damages. If we fail to obtain required regulatory approvals for the Elgin Acquisition, we may lose our $15 million deposit. Further, we have incurred and will continue to incur significant costs, such as legal, accounting, and similar costs, relating to the Acquisitions. We will be required to pay such costs whether or not the Acquisitions are consummated.

Our obligation to consummate the Acquisitions is not subject to a financing condition.

Our obligation to consummate the Acquisitions is not subject to a financing condition. As a result, if we are unable to obtain financing to pay the consideration for such transaction we may be subject to liability for a breach of the agreements governing the acquisitions.

We intend to finance a portion of the cash consideration that we are required to pay in connection with the Tropicana Acquisition with debt financing expected to be obtained pursuant to a $600.0 million commitment provided by J.P. Morgan (the “Commitment Letter”). We expected to issue at least $600.0 million of senior unsecured notes to finance such portion of the cash consideration, but if the notes are not issued and sold on or prior to the date of the consummation of Tropicana, the Commitment Letter contemplates that the lenders thereunder will make available at least $600.0 million in senior unsecured bridge loans under a senior unsecured credit facility. As a result, if financing cannot be obtained and the Tropicana Acquisition is not completed, we may be required to pay Tropicana damages, including a reverse termination fee of $92.5 million, or we may be compelled to specifically perform our obligation to consummate the transaction.

We intend to fund the consideration payable in the Elgin Acquisition using cash from the Dispositions, cash from ongoing operations and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We may be subject to a claim for damages or specific performance if we are unable to obtain the necessary funds to consummate the acquisition, including as a result of a failure to consummate the Dispositions.

The pending Acquisitions and Dispositions may be disruptive to our business.

Whether or not the Acquisitions or Dispositions are completed, the pendency of the transactions could cause disruptions in our business and the businesses of Tropicana and Elgin, which could have an adverse effect on our businesses and financial results. These disruptions could include the following:

our current and prospective employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles with the combined company or consider other employment alternatives, which might adversely affect our ability to retain or attract key managers and other employees and the ability of Tropicana and the Grand Victoria to retain employees that we ~~would~~consider key to our future combined operations;

current and prospective customers may anticipate changes in how they are served or the benefits offered our loyalty reward program and may, as a result, choose to discontinue their patronage; and

the attention of our management may be diverted from the operation of our business.

Litigation challenging the Tropicana Acquisition could delay or prevent the completion of the transaction.

One of the conditions to the Tropicana Acquisition is that no temporary restraining order, preliminary or permanent injunction, or other judgment, order or decree issued by any court of competent jurisdiction or other legal restraint or prohibition preventing the consummation of the merger will be in effect; nor will there be any law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, order, policy, guideline or agency requirement enacted, entered, promulgated, enforced or deemed applicable by any governmental entity that prohibits or makes illegal the consummation of the merger. While we are not aware of any lawsuit that has been filed seeking the enjoin the Tropicana Acquisition, there can be no assurance that such a claim will not be filed by seeking damages relating to, or otherwise challenging, the acquisition. If the plaintiffs in any such action secure injunctive or other relief prohibiting, delaying or otherwise adversely affecting our ability or Tropicana’s ability to consummate the Tropicana Acquisition, then such injunctive or other relief may prevent the merger from becoming effective within the expected time frame or at all. If consummation of the Tropicana Acquisition is prevented or delayed, it could result in substantial costs to us or Tropicana. In addition, we and Tropicana could incur significant costs in connection with such lawsuits, including costs associated with the indemnification of directors and officers.

The integration of our operations with Tropicana and the Grand Victoria following the Acquisitions may present significant challenges and impair our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the Acquisitions in the anticipated time frame or at all.

Our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the Acquisitions will depend, to a large extent, on our ability to integrate the business of Tropicana and the Grand Victoria into our operations in the anticipated time frame or at all. We may face significant challenges in combining the operations of the acquired companies into our operations in a timely and efficient manner. The combination of independent businesses is a complex, costly and time-consuming process. As a result, we will be required to devote significant management attention and resources to integrating the business practices and operations of the acquired companies into our operations. The integration process may disrupt the business and, if implemented ineffectively or inefficiently, could preclude realization of the full benefits that we expect. The failure to successfully integrate the acquired properties and to manage the challenges presented by the integration process successfully may result in an interruption of, or loss of momentum in, the combined business, which may have the effect of depressing the market price of our common stock following the closing of the transactions.

In addition, while we expect to realize cost synergies from combining the sales and general and administrative functions of the acquired businesses with ours, we will be required to incur costs, including severance and related expenses, to realize the anticipated cost savings. While we believe that the combined entity will benefit from cost synergies, we may be unable to ~~operate~~realize all of these cost synergies within the time frame expected or ~~portions~~at all. In addition, we may incur additional or unexpected costs in order to realize these cost synergies.

The Acquisitions may not be accretive and may cause dilution to our earnings per share, which may negatively affect the price of our common stock.

We currently anticipate that the Acquisitions will be accretive to the earnings per share of the ~~affected facilities~~combined company in 2019. This expectation is based on preliminary estimates and ~~may result~~assumes certain synergies expected to be realized by the combined company over a 12-month period following the completion of the Acquisitions. Such estimates and assumptions could materially change due to additional transaction-related costs, delays in regulatory approvals, the failure to realize any or all of the benefits expected in the ~~default~~Acquisitions or other factors beyond our control. All of these factors could delay, decrease or eliminate the expected accretive effect of the Acquisitions and cause resulting dilution to our earnings per share or to the price of our common stock.

We will have a substantial amount of debt outstanding following the Acquisitions and we may incur additional indebtedness.

We expect that we will have approximately $2.8 billion of debt and an additional $110 million of other annual obligations relating to the Master Lease following the completion of the Acquisitions and Dispositions. In addition, we expect that we will have the ability to incur additional debt under our ~~amended~~revolving credit facility which we expect will be increased from $300 million to $500 million effective at the time of the consummation of the Tropicana Acquisition. We may be required to incur additional indebtedness to finance the consideration payable under the Acquisitions and ~~restated credit facility.~~to pay costs associated with the development of a mixed-use entertainment and hospitality destination expected to be located on unused land adjacent to the Pompano casino and racetrack. In particular, we will be required to incur additional debt to consummate the Elgin Acquisition, if we are not able to consummate the Dispositions prior to the consummation of such Acquisition. As a result of the increased levels of outstanding indebtedness following the Acquisitions and rent payments under the Master Lease, future interest expense, rent and debt service obligations will be significantly higher than historic interest expense.
