Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]	'
Organization	'
	Organization
	Affinity Gaming (formerly known as Affinity Gaming, LLC, and together with its subsidiaries, “Affinity” or “we”) originally organized as Herbst Gaming, LLC in Nevada on March 29, 2010. We subsequently changed our name to Affinity Gaming, LLC on May 20, 2011.
	On December 20, 2012 (the “Effective Time”), we converted Affinity Gaming, LLC from a Nevada limited liability company into a Nevada corporation after adopting a Conversion Agreement (the “Conversion”) and filing Articles of Conversion with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. The resulting entity is now known as Affinity Gaming. Pursuant to the Conversion, at the Effective Time, among other things, (i) the membership interests of Affinity Gaming, LLC held by its members were converted into common shares of Affinity Gaming on a one-to-one basis and the members of Affinity Gaming, LLC became stockholders of Affinity Gaming, (ii) all property, subsidiaries, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Affinity Gaming, LLC vested in Affinity Gaming, and all liabilities and obligations of Affinity Gaming, LLC became liabilities and obligations of Affinity Gaming, and (iii) the Articles of Organization and the Operating Agreement of Affinity Gaming, LLC, in each case as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, ceased to have any force or effect, and the Articles of Incorporation, together with the Addendum thereto, and the Bylaws of Affinity Gaming were adopted. Upon consummation of the Conversion, shares of our common stock were deemed to be registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a) promulgated thereunder. For purposes of Rule 12g-3(a), we are the successor issuer to Affinity Gaming, LLC.
	Also on December 20, 2012, we adopted a shareholders' rights plan, which is intended to improve the bargaining position of our Board of Directors in the event of an unsolicited offer to acquire our outstanding common stock, by entering into a Rights Agreement, dated December 21, 2012, with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as rights agent. The Board of Directors implemented the rights plan by declaring a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of our common stock held of record as of December 21, 2012, and directing the issuance of one Right with respect to each share of our common stock that shall become outstanding thereafter until the rights become exercisable or they expire as described below. Each right initially entitles holders of our common stock to buy from us one one-thousandth of a share of our Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Shares”) at a price of $45.00 per one one-thousandth of a Preferred Share represented by a Right, subject to adjustment. The Rights will generally become exercisable only following the tenth day after a person or group acquires or obtains the right to acquire or announces a tender or exchange offer that if consummated would result in such person or group acquiring beneficial ownership of 15% or more of our outstanding common stock (or, if such person or group already owns 15% or more of our outstanding common stock, upon such person or group acquiring one additional share of our common stock). Upon the occurrence of such a triggering event, the Rights will entitle every holder of our common stock, other than the acquirer, to purchase our stock or stock of our successor on terms that would likely be economically dilutive to the acquirer. Our Board of Directors, however, has the power to amend the terms of the Rights without the consent of the holders of the Rights so that it does not apply to a particular acquisition proposal or to redeem the rights for a nominal value before they become exercisable.
	In addition, if we are acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction, or sell 50% or more of our assets or earnings power then, in lieu of the right to purchase our Preferred Shares, each Right will thereafter generally entitle its holder to receive the number of shares of common stock of the acquiring company using the same formula as for our common stock. The Rights expire on December 21, 2015 unless extended or earlier redeemed or terminated. We believe these features will likely encourage an acquirer to negotiate with our Board of Directors and pay a control premium before purchasing a majority of our common stock in the open market, commencing a tender offer or conditioning a tender offer on the board taking action to prevent the rights from becoming exercisable, as the Rights may cause substantial dilution to a person or group that acquires or seeks to acquire 15% or more of our outstanding common stock.
	In relation to the litigation they initiated, which we describe in Note 11, Z Capital Partners, L.L.C. and certain of its affiliates (collectively “Z Capital”) filed a motion for preliminary injunction to enjoin the enforcement of the Rights Agreement as well as a provision in our Articles of Incorporation pertaining to the right of the Board of Directors to find a stockholder unsuitable to gaming regulators and to redeem that stockholder's shares. On May 3, 2013, the District Court granted the motion in part, enjoining Affinity and its Board of Directors from enforcing the Rights Agreement, while denying the remainder of the motion. The defendants filed an appeal of the District Court's decision to the Nevada Supreme Court, which appeal is pending. Despite the District Court's ruling on the preliminary injunction motion, we can neither evaluate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome nor estimate the potential loss or range of loss because discovery just began and plaintiffs have not articulated their theory of the case with respect to monetary damages.
	Business
	We are a Nevada corporation, headquartered in Las Vegas, which owns and operates 11 casinos, five of which are located in Nevada, three in Colorado, two in Missouri and one in Iowa. We also provide consulting services to Hotspur Casinos Nevada, Inc. (“Hotspur”), the operator of the Rampart Casino at the JW Marriott Resort in Las Vegas.  Under the terms of the consulting agreement, Hotspur pays us a fixed annual fee in monthly installments. In addition to the monthly installments, we are entitled to an incentive fee in any year in which EBITDA (as defined in the consulting agreement) equals or exceed the threshold EBITDA for that year.
	On February 1, 2013, we completed the sale to Truckee Gaming, LLC (“Truckee Gaming”) of the Sands Regency Casino Hotel in Reno, Nevada, the Gold Ranch Casino & RV Resort in Verdi, Nevada, and the Dayton Depot Casino in Dayton, Nevada (“Truckee Disposition”). In December 2013, we closed the Henderson Casino.
	Consolidation
	We include all of our subsidiaries in our consolidated financial statements, eliminating all significant intercompany balances and transactions during consolidation.
	Basis of Presentation
	We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). While preparing our financial statements, we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Reported amounts that require us to make extensive use of estimates include the fair values of assets and liabilities related to depreciation and amortization, the estimated allowance for doubtful accounts receivable and the estimated cash flows we use in assessing the recoverability of long-lived assets, as well as the estimated fair values of certain assets related to write downs and impairments, contingencies and litigation, and claims and assessments.
	We prepared the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2014, with the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet amounts as of December 31, 2013 presented for comparative purposes, and the related unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statements of Cash Flows in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In compliance with those instructions, we have omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, though management believes the disclosures made herein are sufficient to ensure that the information presented is not misleading.
	Our results of operations and our cash flows as of the end of the interim periods reported herein do not necessarily indicate the results we may experience for the remainder of the year or for any other future period.
	Management believes our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include all the normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2014, our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for all periods presented. You should read our unaudited consolidated interim financial statements and footnotes in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and footnotes included within our 2013 Form 10-K.

	We determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill using the discounted cash flow method, a form of the income approach.  In determining the fair values, we make significant assumptions relating to variables based on past experiences and judgments about future performance.  These variables include, but are not limited to: (1) the forecast earnings growth rate of each market, (2) risk-adjusted discount rate and (3) expected growth rates in perpetuity to estimated terminal values.
	The following table summarizes intangible assets by category (dollars in thousands):
		March 31, 2014							December 31, 2013

	Balance at March 31, 2014	$	33,665	$	14,622		$	20,229	$	68,516
	We amortize definite-lived intangible assets ratably over their expected lives which, for customer loyalty programs, approximate seven years and, for trademarks, approximate 3.75 years. Overall, we are amortizing definite-lived intangible assets over a weighted-average expected life of approximately 6.5 years.
	We obtain gaming license rights when we acquire gaming entities that operate in gaming jurisdictions where competition is limited, such as states where the law only allows a certain number of operators.  We do not currently amortize gaming license rights and local tradenames because we have determined they have an indefinite useful life.

	On May 9, 2012, we repaid all of the $342.1 million debt then outstanding under the senior secured loans we borrowed under our credit agreement dated December 31, 2010 (the “Old Credit Facility”).  We obtained the funds used to repay the Old Credit Facility by (i) issuing $200 million of 9.00% senior unsecured notes due 2018 (the “2018 Notes”), and (ii) borrowing under our new Credit Agreement, dated May 9, 2012, which provides for a $200 million term loan (the “Initial Term Loan”) due in 2017, the entirety of which the lenders disbursed to us on the closing date of the Credit Agreement, and a $35 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Initial Term Loan, the “New Credit Facility”) which remained undrawn on the closing date of the Credit Agreement. Approximately $38.6 million of cash from the issuance of the 2018 Notes and our borrowings under the New Credit Facility remained after we paid related transaction expenses and repaid our Old Credit Facility.
	On December 13, 2013, we completed the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement (now, the “Amended Credit Agreement”). The First Amendment reduces the applicable LIBOR rate floor on the New Credit Facility from 1.25% to 1.00%, and it reduces the applicable margin from 4.25% to 3.25% in the case of Eurodollar term loans and from 3.25% to 2.25% in the case of base rate term loans. In addition, the First Amendment excludes holders of at least 20% of our voting equity as of the First Amendment closing date from the change of control provisions of the credit agreement, increases the threshold for a change of control from 40% to 50% of our voting equity and removes the cross-default provisions to a change of control to our outstanding existing 2018 Notes. The First Amendment also adds flexibility to make asset sales and extends the reinvestment period for asset sale proceeds from 12 months to 18 months, while adding a soft call protection for the lenders whereby we must pay a 1% fee on the amount of any term loans which we reprice within the first six months after the First Amendment closing date.
	We incur and pay interest on the Initial Term Loan under the Amended Credit Agreement at an uncommitted floating rate of LIBOR plus 3.25%, subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.00%.  The Amended Credit Agreement also requires us to pay commitment fees related to the Revolving Credit Facility equal to an annualized rate of 0.50% on undrawn amounts when the net leverage ratio is greater than 3.50 to 1.00, or equal to an annualized rate of 0.375% on undrawn amounts when the net leverage ratio is less than or equal to 3.50 to 1.00.  The New Credit Facility provides an accordion feature which allows us to seek additional borrowings of up to $80 million subject to certain customary terms and conditions, including pro forma compliance with a maximum leverage ratio, as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement. Total unamortized loan fees as of March 31, 2014 totaled $8.1 million, inclusive of $1.8 million in fees and pre-payment penalties attributable to lenders that participated in both the original and refinanced debt.  We are amortizing capitalized loan fees over the life of the 2018 Notes and the Initial Term Loan.
	Under the Amended Credit Agreement, we must make a mandatory repayment of amounts outstanding under the Initial Term Loan in an amount equal to the net cash proceeds from any asset sale within five business days after receipt of such proceeds.  However, we do not have to make such mandatory prepayment if (i) no event of default or specified default (each as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) then exists and (ii) such net cash proceeds are used to purchase assets (other than working capital) used or useful in the business (x) within 548 days following receipt of the net cash proceeds or (y) if a legally binding commitment to purchase assets is entered into within such 548 day period, within 180 days after the end of such 548 day period.  In the case of non-core asset sales (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), any resulting net cash proceeds must be deposited into an account subject to an account control agreement.
	Under the Amended Credit Agreement, a change of control would occur in certain circumstances, including (i) when any person or group acquires 50% or more on a fully diluted basis of our voting equity interests, or (ii) when there is a change in the majority of continuing directors. A continuing director, as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement, is a director on the date of borrowing or a director nominated by a majority of directors which existed on the date of borrowing.  A change of control would constitute an event of default under the Amended Credit Agreement and permit the acceleration by the lenders of all outstanding borrowings thereunder.
	The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary covenants including maximum total leverage ratio, maximum secured leverage ratio, minimum interest coverage ratio and maximum total annual capital expenditures.  Additionally, the Initial Term Loan is subject to mandatory annual prepayments based on generation of excess cash flow (as defined), equal to 50% of excess cash flow when the net leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00, equal to 25% of excess cash flow when the net leverage ratio is greater than 3.00 to 1.00, but less than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00, and equal to zero when the net leverage ratio is less than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00.  At March 31, 2014, we were in compliance with all financial covenants related to our debt agreements; the Leverage Ratio on that date was 6.19 to 1.00 and the Interest Coverage Ratio was 2.11 to 1.00. The excess cash flow payment for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $8,014, which we paid on April 3, 2014. The excess cash flow payment is included in the current portion of long-term debt in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2014.
	We issued the 2018 Notes pursuant to an indenture dated May 9, 2012 ("2018 Notes Indenture"). Under the 2018 Notes Indenture, we may choose to redeem some or all of the 2018 Notes at any time prior to May 15, 2015, upon providing notice to holders of the 2018 Notes, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2018 Notes redeemed plus a “make-whole” premium as of the applicable redemption date, plus accrued interest.  Additionally, at any time prior to May 15, 2015, upon providing notice to holders of the 2018 Notes, the Issuers may choose to redeem up to 35% of the 2018 Notes with the net cash proceeds from one or more equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 109% of the principal amount of the 2018 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, as long as at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2018 Notes originally issued remains outstanding immediately after giving effect to any such redemption and the redemption occurs not more than 180 days after the date of the closing of the equity offering.  On and after May 15, 2015, the Issuers are entitled to redeem all or a portion of the 2018 Notes upon providing not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount on the redemption date), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on May 15 of the years set forth in the table below.
	Year		Percentage
	2015		104.5	%
	2016		102.25	%
	2017 and thereafter		100	%
	All of our current and future domestic subsidiaries that guarantee the Senior Secured Credit Facility also fully and unconditionally guarantee the Issuers' payment obligations under the 2018 Notes on a senior unsecured basis.
	The terms of the 2018 Notes Indenture, among other things, limit our ability to incur additional debt, issue preferred stock, pay dividends or make other restricted payments, make certain investments, create liens, allow restrictions on the ability of restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments, sell assets, merge or consolidate with other entities, and enter into transactions with affiliates.
	If we experience certain kinds of changes in control, the Issuers must make an offer to purchase the 2018 Notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2018 Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the date of repurchase. A change of control, as defined in the 2018 Notes Indenture, occurs when we become aware of (i) any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of more than 50% of the total voting power of our voting stock, or (ii) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets. In addition, the Issuers, under certain circumstances, must make an offer to repurchase 2018 Notes with the proceeds of certain asset sales that they do not use to purchase new assets or otherwise apply in accordance with the terms of the 2018 Notes Indenture.
	The 2018 Notes Indenture further provides that if any gaming authority requires a holder of the 2018 Notes to be licensed, qualified or found suitable under any applicable gaming law and such holder fails to apply for, or is denied, such license, qualification or not found suitable, the Issuers have the right, at their option, to (i) require such holder to dispose of its 2018 Notes or (ii) redeem such 2018 Notes at the applicable redemption price specified in the 2018 Notes Indenture. The Issuers will not be required to pay or reimburse any holder of the 2018 Notes who is required to apply for such license, qualification or finding of suitability.
	We based the estimated fair value of the 2018 Notes and the Senior Secured Credit Facility on Level 2 inputs using quoted prices in inactive markets and observable market data for similar, but not identical, instruments. The following table presents the carrying values and estimated fair values of our long-term debt at March 31, 2014 (in thousands):

	We designed our share-based compensation arrangements to advance our long-term interests; for example, by allowing us to attract employees and directors, to retain them and by aligning their interests with those of our stockholders. The amount, frequency, and terms of share-based awards may vary based on competitive practices, our operating results, government regulations and availability under our equity incentive plans. Depending upon the form of the share-based award, new shares of our common stock may be issued upon grant, option exercise or vesting of the award.
	The following table summarizes the activity related to our outstanding and non-vested stock options and restricted stock units for the period ended March 31, 2014:

	Data Security Event
	In late October 2013, Affinity was contacted by law enforcement regarding fraudulent credit and debit card charges which may have been linked to a data security breach in Affinity’s system. We immediately initiated a thorough investigation, supported by a professional forensic investigative firm, to determine the nature and scope of the compromise. In December 2013, we issued a press release advising that our payment processing system became infected by malware, which resulted in a compromise of credit card and debit card information belonging to individuals who used their cards at restaurants, hotels and gift shops at our facilities between March 14 and October 16, 2013. As of November 14, 2013, our third-party forensics expert advised us that our credit card processing systems were secured. We encouraged our patrons to protect against possible identity theft or other financial loss by reviewing account statements for potential fraudulent activity during the period of exposure. In April 2014, we learned that an unauthorized intrusion and installation of malware compromising the credit card processing environment again occurred. We have hired a different professional forensics investigation firm with globally-recognized expertise in data security to conduct a thorough investigation of the more recent occurrence, and the security of our entire information technology environment as it relates to both incidents. Although the investigation is on-going, we have reason to believe that credit card and debit card information from individuals who used their cards at restaurants, hotels and gift shops at our properties between December 7, 2013 and April 28, 2014, may have been compromised.
	Affinity carries insurance coverage of $5.0 million for liability resulting from network security events. We cannot estimate the total amount which we will ultimately incur because the investigation is in its early stages; however, we believe we will likely incur at least $0.25 million, which is our self-insured retention related to each event.
	Litigation
	On March 5, 2013, Z Capital, individually as well as derivatively on behalf of Affinity Gaming, filed a complaint (the “Complaint”) against us as a nominal party and our directors as defendants in the District Court, Clark County, Nevada (the “District Court”), seeking (A) a judgment, among other things: (i) declaring that the conversion of Affinity Gaming, LLC from a Nevada limited liability company into a Nevada corporation (the “Corporate Conversion”) was ineffective and void ab initio and that Affinity Gaming, LLC remains in existence as a Nevada limited liability company governed by its Operating Agreement dated as of December 31, 2010 (the “Operating Agreement”); or in the alternative (ii) striking and invalidating, and enjoining the recognition or enforcement of the agreements and governing documents purportedly entered into in connection with the Corporate Conversion, and reforming them to comply with the requirements of the Operating Agreement; (iii) enjoining defendants from taking any action inconsistent with the Operating Agreement and refusing to take any action required by the Operating Agreement; and (iv) declaring that the Rights Agreement, dated effective December 21, 2012, between Affinity Gaming and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as Rights Agent is void ab initio and unenforceable, as well as (B) related general, special, consequential and punitive damages. Based on our preliminary review of the complaint, we and our Board of Directors believe that the claims brought by Z Capital are without merit and we intend to defend against them vigorously.
	Z Capital filed a motion on April 9, 2013 for a preliminary injunction which would enjoin the enforcement of the Rights Agreement as well as a provision in our Articles of Incorporation pertaining to the right of the Board of Directors to find a stockholder unsuitable to gaming regulators and to redeem that stockholder's shares. On May 3, 2013, the District Court granted the motion in part, enjoining Affinity and its Board of Directors from enforcing the Rights Agreement, while denying the remainder of the motion. The defendants filed an appeal of the District Court's decision to the Nevada Supreme Court, which appeal is pending and scheduled to be heard June 4, 2014. Despite the District Court's ruling on the preliminary injunction motion, we can neither evaluate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome nor estimate the potential loss or range of loss because discovery just began and plaintiffs have not articulated their theory of the case with respect to monetary damages.
	Representatives of Z Capital and of SPH Manager, LLC (“SPH Manager”) have reached a tentative understanding which would involve (1) reconstituting the Board to include seven members, consisting of the Affinity’s Chief Executive Officer, two members designated by Z Capital and four members, including two independent directors, designated by the SPH Manager and stockholders other than Z Capital, and (2) resolving and dismissing the existing litigation between Z Capital and Affinity (and certain of its directors). The tentative understanding will not become final and binding until definitive agreements with respect thereto are executed and delivered by all parties and there can be no assurance that such definitive agreements will be so executed and delivered.
	In March 2012, the Clarke County Development Corp. (“CCDC”), the local non-profit Iowa licensee for which we manage the Lakeside Resort & Casino (“Lakeside Iowa”) in Osceola, Iowa, filed an action in Iowa state court against Affinity Gaming and Lakeside Iowa, seeking a declaratory judgment that the management contract between CCDC and Lakeside Iowa is non-assignable. We removed the case to federal court and contested CCDC's position even though we had no plans to assign the agreement. CCDC also named Lakeside Iowa, Affinity Gaming and the Iowa Racing & Gaming Commission (“IRGC”)  in a separate petition in Iowa state court seeking judicial review of the IRGC's ruling, in November 2010, which approved the Predecessor's creditors to become the owners of Affinity Gaming, LLC, and thereby the indirect owners of Lakeside Iowa, prior to our emergence from bankruptcy and notwithstanding CCDC’s objection that an assignment of the management agreement had occurred which required its consent.  On July 29, 2013, just two weeks before the hearing on judicial review, CCDC filed a voluntary dismissal without prejudice of the petition for judicial review.  On July 30, 2013, CCDC filed a motion to dismiss the federal court action without prejudice, which was granted.  CCDC’s dismissal of the state court petition and the federal court action is based upon its filing in Iowa state court on August 5, 2013 of a third lawsuit in which it seeks to enforce a settlement agreement it alleges was reached with us during a non-binding mediation held in June 2013.  The mediation resulted in a written memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) pursuant to which the state court petition and federal court action were to be dismissed upon Lakeside Iowa’s payments of $600,000 to CCDC and $2.5 million to an account controlled by the Clarke County Reservoir Commission; Lakeside Iowa was to incrementally reduce to zero over a period of ten years a 0.5% capital improvement set-off against the 2.5% of adjusted gross revenue (“AGR”) the casino pays to CCDC and its local government affiliates; and, for a period of five years, CCDC would not unreasonably withhold its consent to the assignment of the management agreement to a third party, provided the assignee agrees to immediately eliminate the capital improvement set-off and to pay the greater of 3% or the state maximum percentage of AGR.  However, subsequent to the mediation, when the parties exchanged drafts of the formal written settlement agreement contemplated by the MOU, it became apparent that a meeting of the minds regarding settlement had not occurred, as CCDC took the position that any assignee of the management agreement would have to increase its percentage of AGR payment by 1.5%, rather than the 0.5% to which we believed we had agreed.  Because CCDC has only recently filed its action to enforce the alleged settlement agreement, an evaluation of the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome cannot be made; however, we estimate the potential loss to be the $3.1 million in payments set forth in the MOU.
	On June 25, 2012, the Nevada Tax Commission adopted a regulation requiring gaming companies to pay sales tax on customer complimentary meals and employee meals. The adoption of this regulation stems from a February 15, 2012 Nevada Tax Commission decision concerning another gaming company which states that complimentary meals provided to customers are subject to sales tax at the retail value of the meal and employee meals are subject to use tax at the cost of the meal. The other gaming company filed in District Court a petition for judicial review of the Nevada Tax Commission decision, and as a result we began accruing the applicable sales and use tax from the date of the most recent Nevada Department of Taxation ruling. In June 2013, substantially all the gaming companies in Nevada, including certain of our subsidiaries, entered into a settlement agreement with the Nevada Tax Commission which effectively provided, among other things, that the complimentary meals furnished to customers and employees would neither be subject to sales and use tax retroactively nor prospectively. As a result, we reversed the $1 million we had recorded and presented in accrued expense, $0.6 million of which we had accrued during the second half of 2012.
	Chartwell Advisory Group, Ltd. (“Chartwell”), a professional services firm that facilitated filing refund requests with the Nevada Tax Commission for sales and use tax paid by certain casinos on the cost of complimentary meals for periods beginning in 2004, has filed a lawsuit against numerous Nevada casino operators, including one of our subsidiaries, alleging that it is owed a percentage of the tax casinos did not have to pay as a result of the 2012 regulation and related settlement agreement. Our subsidiary entered into an agreement with this firm prior to the bankruptcy whereby Chartwell would receive a percentage of any refund we received from the state of sales tax previously paid by our subsidiary. Although Chartwell asserts that we owe them approximately $0.275 million, we do not believe any amounts are due to Chartwell and accordingly, we have not recorded an accrual. We intend to vigorously defend the lawsuit and our subsidiary has recently filed a motion to dismiss the claims against it, which motion is pending.
	We are party to certain other claims, legal actions and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business or asserted by way of defense or counterclaim in actions we filed. We believe that our defenses are substantial in each of these matters and that we can successfully defend our legal position without material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.
	Environmental Remediation
	During the excavation phase at the site of our new travel center in Primm, Nevada, we encountered several contaminated sites on the property which required soil remediation and groundwater testing. Much of the contamination resulted from underground fuel storage tanks related to a gas station operated more than 30 years ago, as well as from abandoned underground fuel lines. We also began testing at the direction of the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (the “NDEP”) to determine the extent to which the contamination has affected the groundwater, and we have agreed to continue monitoring the groundwater for a period of at least three years.
	Through March 31, 2014, we have incurred approximately $3.7 million on remediation work at the Whiskey Pete’s site. We have an insurance policy which provides coverage for environmental remediation costs of up to $5.0 million, and we received $1 million from our insurer in 2013. Following a demand for further reimbursement, we have reached an agreement to receive an additional $0.5 million from our insurer, without prejudice to any claims we may have against our environmental remediation consultant. We expect to collect the proceeds during the second quarter of 2014.
	Although we believe that incurring additional cost related to the testing and ongoing monitoring of groundwater for contamination is probable, we cannot reasonably estimate an amount to accrue at this time because the NDEP has not told us what additional work, if any, it will require us to perform. Additionally, we believe some or all of the ongoing monitoring costs will be reimbursed by insurance as part of our initial claim. The ultimate cost will depend on the extent of contamination found, if any, as a result of our ongoing testing, the amount of remediation we are required to perform, and the amount we are reimbursed. As we complete our ongoing monitoring obligation, we intend to analyze any cost incurred, and we will expense or capitalize it as necessary.
	Asset Retirement Obligation
	We continue to accrete an asset retirement obligation in association with a lease for real property at our Primm, Nevada location. The Predecessor recorded a liability of $0.5 million in 2007, using a 6.7% discount rate and a 3.0% inflation rate, related to costs it expected to incur to return the leased land to its original state at the end of the lease agreement. The following table reconciles the value of the asset retirement obligation for the periods presented.

	On May 9, 2012, we completed the offering and sale of the 2018 Notes. We used the net proceeds from the sale of the 2018 Notes, together with borrowings under the New Credit Facility, to terminate and repay in full all outstanding indebtedness under the existing Old Credit Facility, plus related fees and expense.
	All of our current and future domestic subsidiaries that guarantee the New Credit Facility also fully and unconditionally guarantee our payment obligations under the 2018 Notes on a senior unsecured basis. All of the guarantees are joint and several, and all of the guarantor subsidiaries are wholly-owned by us.
	We prepared and are presenting the condensed consolidating financial statements in this footnote in accordance with Rule 3-10 of SEC Regulation S-X, and using the same accounting policies as we did to prepare the financial information located elsewhere in our consolidated financial statements and related footnotes. In 2012, we formed Affinity Gaming Finance Corp. (“AG Finance”), which is a co-issuer of the 2018 Notes. Though we present AG Finance as a co-issuer in the accompanying 2012 condensed consolidated guarantor data, we present our indebtedness as an obligation of Affinity Gaming only.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	3 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2014
Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Business	'
	Basis of Presentation
	We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). While preparing our financial statements, we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Reported amounts that require us to make extensive use of estimates include the fair values of assets and liabilities related to depreciation and amortization, the estimated allowance for doubtful accounts receivable and the estimated cash flows we use in assessing the recoverability of long-lived assets, as well as the estimated fair values of certain assets related to write downs and impairments, contingencies and litigation, and claims and assessments.
	We prepared the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2014, with the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet amounts as of December 31, 2013 presented for comparative purposes, and the related unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statements of Cash Flows in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In compliance with those instructions, we have omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, though management believes the disclosures made herein are sufficient to ensure that the information presented is not misleading.
	Our results of operations and our cash flows as of the end of the interim periods reported herein do not necessarily indicate the results we may experience for the remainder of the year or for any other future period.
	Management believes our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include all the normal recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2014, our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for all periods presented. You should read our unaudited consolidated interim financial statements and footnotes in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and footnotes included within our 2013 Form 10-K.
Consolidation and Presentation	'
	Consolidation
	We include all of our subsidiaries in our consolidated financial statements, eliminating all significant intercompany balances and transactions during consolidation.

	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
	We have reviewed all recently issued accounting pronouncements and, other than those we have disclosed in previous filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, we do not believe any of such pronouncements will have a material effect on our operations.
