Refer to Note 18 “ Segment Reportin The Company’s common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “BALY.” Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company, its majority-owned subsidiaries and entities the Company identifies as variable interest entities (“VIEs”), of which the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. The financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at period-end for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates during each reporting period for results of operations. Adjustments resulting from financial statement translations are reflected as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in net income (loss). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of the SEC’s Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally required in complete financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted. In the Company’s opinion, these condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. There were no material changes in significant accounting policies from those described in Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. We have made estimates and judgments affecting the amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. The actual results that we experience may differ materially from our estimates. COVID-19 Pandemic As of March 31, 2022, the Company’s properties are all operating with minimal restrictions. Although the Company is experiencing positive trends as a result of the reopening of its properties, the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing and future developments, which are uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time, could have a material negative impact on operations.

Significant Accounting Policies	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Correction of Previously Reported Consolidated Financial Statements As previously disclosed in Note 23 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 financial statements”) included in Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company revised its 2021 financial statements to correct an immaterial accounting error that pertained to a foreign exchange translation loss of approximately $42.9 million that was incorrectly recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the Company’s consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) rather than as other income (expense) in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. As a result, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2022 have been revised to give effect to the correction of this error by decreasing previously reported accumulated other comprehensive loss and increasing previously reported accumulated deficit as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 by approximately $42.9 million, respectively. Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash The Company considers all cash balances and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, restricted cash of $62.9 million and $68.6 million, respectively, consisted primarily of player deposits and payment service provider deposits in connection with the Company’s iGaming operations. Restricted cash also includes Video Lottery Terminal (“VLT”) and table games cash payable to the State of Rhode Island and certain cash accounts at other properties, which are unavailable for the Company’s use.

Strategic Partnership - Sinclair Broadcast Group On November 18, 2020, the Company and Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc. (“Sinclair”) entered into a Framework Agreement (the “Sinclair Agreement”), which provides for a long-term strategic relationship between the Company and Sinclair combining Bally’s integrated, proprietary sports betting technology with Sinclair’s portfolio of local broadcast stations and live regional sports networks and its Tennis Channel, Stadium sports network and STIRR streaming service, whereby the Company will receive naming rights to the regional sports networks and certain integrations to network programming in exchange for annual fees paid in cash, the issuance of warrants and options, and an agreement to share in certain tax benefits resulting from the Transaction with Sinclair (the “TRA”). The initial term of the agreement is ten years from the commencement date of the re-branded Sinclair regional sports networks and can be renewed for one additional five-year term unless either the Company or Sinclair elect not to renew. Naming Rights Intangible Asset - Under the terms of the Sinclair Agreement, the Company is required to pay annual naming rights fees to Sinclair for naming rights of the regional sports networks which escalate annually and total $88.0 million over the 10-year term of the agreement beginning April 1, 2021. The Company accounted for this transaction as an asset acquisition in accordance with the “Acquisition of Assets Rather Than a Business” subsections of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805-50 using a cost accumulation model. The naming rights intangible asset represents the consideration transferred on the acquisition date comprised of the present value of annual naming rights fees, the fair value of the warrants and options and an estimate of the Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”) payments, each explained below. The naming rights intangible asset was $300.7 million and $311.7 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Amortization began on April 1, 2021, the commencement date of the re-branded Sinclair regional sports networks, and was $8.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Refer to Note 8 “ Goodwill and Intangible Assets Naming Rights Fees - The present value of the annual naming rights fees was recorded as part of the cost of the naming rights intangible asset with a corresponding liability which will be accreted through interest expense over the life of the agreement. The total value of the liability as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $59.0 million and $58.9 million, respectively. The short-term portion of the liability, which was $2.0 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, is recorded within “Accrued liabilities” and the long-term portion of the liability, which was $57.0 million and $56.9 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31 2021, respectively, is recorded within “Naming rights liabilities” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Accretion expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $1.1 million and $1.0 million respectively, and was reported in “Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Warrants and Options - The Company issued to Sinclair (1) an immediately exercisable warrant to purchase up to 4,915,726 shares of the Company at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (“the Penny Warrants”), (2) a warrant to purchase up to a maximum of 3,279,337 additional shares of the Company at a price of $0.01 per share subject to the achievement of various performance metrics (the “Performance Warrants”), and (3) an option to purchase up to 1,639,669 additional shares in four tranches with purchase prices ranging from $30.00 to $45.00 per share, exercisable over a seven-year period beginning on the fourth anniversary of the November 18, 2020 closing (the “Options”). The exercise and purchase prices and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and options are subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The issuance pursuant to the warrants and options of shares in excess of 19.9% of the Company’s currently outstanding shares was subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholders in accordance with the rules of the NYSE, which was obtained on January 27, 2021. Penny Warrants & Options . The Penny Warrants and Options are equity classified instruments under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging , (“ASC 815”). The fair value of the Penny Warrants approximates the fair value of the underlying shares and was $150.4 million on November 18, 2020 at issuance, and was recorded to “Additional paid-in-capital” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, with an offset to the naming rights intangible asset. The fair value of the Options was $59.7 million as of December 31, 2021 and is recorded within “Additional paid-in-capital” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Performance Warrants . The Performance Warrants are accounted for as a derivative liability because the underlying performance metrics represent an adjustment to the settlement amount that is not indexed to the Company’s own stock and thus equity classification is precluded under ASC 815. Refer to Note 9 “ Fair Value Measurements Tax Receivable Agreement - The Company is required to share 60% of the tax benefit the Company receives from the Penny Warrants, Options, Performance Warrants and payments under the TRA with Sinclair over the term of the agreement as tax benefit amounts are determined through the filing of the Company’s annual tax returns. Changes in estimate of the tax benefit to be realized and tax rates in effect at the time, among other changes, are treated as an adjustment to the naming rights intangible asset. The TRA liability was $39.6 million and $42.2 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and is included in “Naming rights liabilities” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The change in value of the TRA liability is included in “Change in value of naming rights liabilities” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Variable Interest Entities The Company evaluates entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights to determine if it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. An entity is a VIE if it has any of the following characteristics (1) has insufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, (2) equity holders, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or (3) the entity is structured with non-substantive voting rights. The primary beneficiary of the VIE is generally the entity that has (a) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company consolidates its investment in a VIE when it determines that it is its primary beneficiary. In determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, the Company considers qualitative and quantitative factors, including, but not limited to: which activities most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and which party controls such activities; and significance of the Company’s investment and other means of participation in the VIE’s expected profits/losses. Significant judgments related to these determinations include estimates about the current and future fair values and performance of assets held by these VIEs and general market conditions. Management analyzed and concluded that Breckenridge Curacao B.V. is a VIE because it does not have sufficient equity investment at risk. The Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary and consolidates the VIE because (a) although the Company does not control all decisions of the VIE, the Company has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance through various contracts with the entity and (b) the nature of these agreements between the VIE and the Company provides the Company with the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits based on fees that are based upon off-market rates and commensurate to the level of services provided. The Company receives significant benefits in the form of fees that are not at market and commensurate to the level of services provided. As a result, the Company consolidates all of the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the VIE and its subsidiaries in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 Breckenridge Curacao B.V. had total assets of $86.7 million and $85.4 million, respectively, and total liabilities of $76.5 million and $75.2 million, respectively. Breckenridge Curacao B.V. had revenues of $86.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company may change its original assessment of a VIE upon subsequent events such as the modification of contractual arrangements that affect the characteristics or adequacy of the entity’s equity investments at risk and the disposition of all or a portion of an interest held by the primary beneficiary. The Company performs this analysis on an ongoing basis. Related Party Transaction On September 26, 2019, prior to the Company’s acquisition of Gamesys, Gamesys (Holdings) Limited (“GHL”) was acquired by JPJ Group plc (“JPJ”) and subsequently renamed Gamesys. In connection with the JPJ acquisition, £10.0 million of the cash consideration was deferred and payable (plus interest) to GHL’s majority shareholders 30 months after closing. The Company recorded deferred consideration of $14.9 million and $15.1 million within current liabilities of the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Of such amount, approximately $7.4 million was payable to related parties as former majority shareholders. The Company paid the deferred consideration in April 2022.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

REVENUE RECOGNITION	3 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2022
Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
REVENUE RECOGNITION	REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 which requires companies to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or serves. In addition, the standard requires more detailed disclosures to enable readers of the financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The Company generates revenue from four principal sources: gaming (which includes retail gaming, online gaming, sports betting and racing), hotel, food and beverage and retail entertainment and other. The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps: • Identify the contract, or contracts, with the customer; • Identify the performance obligations in the contract; • Determine the transaction price; • Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and • Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies performance obligations by transferring the promised good or services The Company is currently engaged in gaming services, which include retail, online and racing. Additional services include hotel, food and beverage. The amount of revenue recognized by the Company is measured at the transaction price or the amount of consideration that the Company expects to receive through satisfaction of the identified performance obligations. Retail gaming, online gaming and sports betting revenue, each as described below, contain a single performance obligation. Retail gaming transactions have an obligation to honor the outcome of a wager and to payout an amount equal to the stated odds, including the return of the initial wager, if the customer receives a winning hand. These elements of honoring the outcome of the hand of play and generating a payout are considered one performance obligation. Online gaming and sports betting represent a single performance obligation for the Company to operate contests or games and award prizes or payouts to users based on results of the arrangement. Revenue is recognized at the conclusion of each contest, wager or wagering game hand. Incentives can be used across online gaming products. The Company allocates a portion of the transaction price to certain customer incentives that create material future customer rights and are a separate performance obligation. In addition, in the event of a multi-stage contest, the Company will allocate transaction price ratably from contest start to the contest’s final stage. Racing revenue is earned through advance deposit wagering which consists of patrons wagering through an advance deposit account. Each wagering contract contains a single performance obligation. The transaction price for a gaming wagering contract is the difference between gaming wins and losses, not the total amount wagered. The transaction price for racing operations, inclusive of live racing events conducted at the Company’s racing facilities, is the commission received from the pari-mutuel pool less contractual fees and obligations primarily consisting of purse funding requirements, simulcasting fees, tote fees and certain pari-mutuel taxes that are directly related to the racing operations. The transaction price for food and beverage and hotel 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 revenue is recognized as the good or service is transferred at the point in time of the transaction. The following contains a description of each of the Company’s revenue streams: Gaming Revenue Retail Gaming The Company recognizes retail gaming revenue as the net win from gaming activities, which is the difference between gaming inflows and outflows, not the total amount wagered. Progressive jackpots are estimated and recognized as revenue at the time the obligation to pay the jackpot is established. Gaming revenues are recognized net of certain cash and free play incentives. Gaming services contracts have two performance obligations for those customers earning incentives under the Company’s player loyalty programs and a single performance obligation for customers who do not participate in the programs. The Company applies a practical expedient to account for its gaming contracts on a portfolio basis as such wagers have similar characteristics and the Company reasonably expects the impact on the consolidated financial statements of applying the revenue recognition guidance to the portfolio would not differ materially from the application of an individual wagering contract. For purposes of allocating the transaction price in a wagering contract between the wagering performance obligation and the obligation associated with incentives earned under loyalty programs, the Company allocates an amount to the loyalty program contract liability based on the stand-alone selling price of the incentive earned for a hotel room stay, food and beverage or other amenity. The performance obligation related to loyalty program incentives are deferred and recognized as revenue upon redemption by the customer. The amount associated with gaming wagers is recognized at the point the wager occurs, as it is settled immediately. Gaming revenue includes the share of VLT revenue for Bally’s Twin River and Bally’s Tiverton, in each case, as determined by each property’s respective master VLT contracts with the State of Rhode Island. Bally’s Twin River is entitled to a 28.85% share of VLT revenue on the initial 3,002 units and a 26.00% share on VLT revenue generated from units in excess of 3,002 units. Beginning July 1, 2021, Bally’s Twin River is entitled to an additional 7.00% share of revenue on VLTs owned by the Company. Bally’s Tiverton is entitled to receive a percentage of VLT revenue that is equivalent to the percentage received by Bally’s Twin River. Gaming revenue also includes Bally’s Twin River’s and Bally’s Tiverton’s share of table games revenue. Bally’s Twin River and Bally’s Tiverton each were entitled to an 83.5% share of table games revenue generated as of March 31, 2022 and 2021. Revenue is recognized when the wager is settled, which is when the customer has received the benefits of the Company’s gaming services and the Company has a present right to payment. The Company records revenue from its Rhode Island operations on a net basis which is the percentage share of VLT and table games revenue received as the Company acts as an agent in operating the gaming services on behalf of the State of Rhode Island. Gaming revenue also includes Bally’s Dover’s share of revenue as determined under the Delaware State Lottery Code from the date of its acquisition. Bally’s Dover is authorized to conduct video lottery, sports wagering, table game and internet gaming operations as one of three “Licensed Agents” under the Delaware State Lottery Code. Licensing, administration and control of gaming operations in Delaware is under the Delaware State Lottery Office and Delaware’s Department of Safety and Homeland Security, Division of Gaming Enforcement. As of March 31, 2022 and 2021, Bally’s Dover was entitled to an approximate 42% share of VLT revenue and 80% share of table games revenue. Revenue is recognized when the wager is complete, which is when the customer has received the benefits of the Company’s gaming services and the Company has a present right to payment. The Company records revenue from its Delaware operations on a net basis, which is the percentage share of VLT and table games revenue received, as the Company acts as an agent in operating the gaming services on behalf of the State of Delaware. Gaming revenue also includes the casino revenue of Hard Rock Biloxi, Bally’s Black Hawk, beginning January 23, 2020, Bally’s Kansas City and Bally’s Vicksburg, beginning July 1, 2020, Bally’s Atlantic City, beginning November 18, 2020, Bally’s Shreveport, beginning December 23, 2020, Bally’s Lake Tahoe, beginning April 6, 2021, Bally’s Evansville, beginning June 3, 2021, and Bally’s Quad Cities, beginning June 14, 2021, which is the aggregate net difference between gaming wins and losses, with deferred revenue recognized for prepaid deposits by prior to play, for chips outstanding and “ticket-in, ticket-out” coupons in the customers’ possession, and for accruals related to the anticipated payout of progressive jackpots. Progressive slot machines, which contain base jackpots that increase at a progressive rate based on the number of credits played, are charged to revenue as the amount of the progressive jackpots increase. Online gaming Online gaming refers to digital versions of wagering games available in land-based casinos, such as blackjack, roulette and slot machines. For these offerings, the Company operates similarly to land-based casinos, generating revenue from user wagers net of payouts and incentives awarded to users. Online gaming revenue includes the online bingo and casino revenue of Gamesys, beginning October 1, 2021. The revenue is earned from operating online bingo and casino websites, which consists of the difference between total amounts wagered by players less winnings payable to players, bonuses allocated and jackpot contributions. Online gaming revenue is recognized at the point in time when the player completes a gaming session and payout occurs. There is no significant degree of uncertainty involved in quantifying the amount of gaming revenue earned, including bonuses, jackpot contributions and loyalty points. Bonuses, jackpot contributions and loyalty points are measured at fair value at each reporting date. Sports betting Sports betting involves a user wagering money on an outcome or series of outcomes. If a user wins the wager, the Company pays the user a pre-determined amount known as fixed odds. Sports betting revenue is generated through built-in theoretical margins in each sports wagering opportunity offered to users. Revenue is recognized as total wagers net of payouts made and incentives awarded to users. During 2020, the Company entered into several multi-year agreements with third-party operators for online sports betting and iGaming market access in the states of Colorado and New Jersey from which the Company has received or expects to receive one-time, up front market access fees in cash or equity securities (specific to one operator agreement) and certain other fees in cash generally based on a percentage of the gross gaming revenue generated by the operator, with certain annual minimum guarantees due to the Company. The one-time market access fees received have been recorded as deferred revenue and will be recognized as gaming revenue ratably over the respective contract terms, beginning with the commencement of operations of each respective agreement. The Company recognized commissions in certain states from online sports betting and iGaming which are included in gaming revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. Deferred revenue associated with third-party operators for online sports betting and iGaming market access was $6.8 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and is included in “Accrued liabilities” and “Other long-term liabilities” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. All other revenues, including market access, daily fantasy sports and B2B service revenue generated by the North America Interactive and International Interactive reportable segments, are recognized at the time the goods are sold or the service is provided. Racing Racing revenue includes Bally’s Twin River’s, Bally’s Tiverton’s, Bally’s Arapahoe Park’s and Bally’s Dover’s share of wagering from live racing and the import of simulcast signals. Racing revenue is recognized upon completion of the wager based upon an established take-out percentage. The Company functions as an agent to the pari-mutuel pool. Therefore, fees and obligations related to the Company’s share of purse funding, simulcasting fees, tote fees, pari-mutuel taxes, and other fees directly related to the Company’s racing operations are reported on a net basis and included as a reduction to racing revenue. Hotel, Food and Beverage and Retail, Entertainment and Other Revenue Hotel revenue is recognized at the time of occupancy, which is when the customer obtains control through occupancy of the room. Advance deposits for hotel rooms are recorded as liabilities until revenue recognition criteria are met. Food and beverage revenues are recognized at the time the goods are sold from Company-operated outlets. The estimated standalone selling price of hotel rooms is determined based on observable prices. The standalone selling price of food and beverage as well as retail, entertainment and other goods and services are determined based upon the actual retail prices charged to customers for those items. Cancellation fees for hotel and meeting space services are recognized upon cancellation by the customer and are included in hotel, food and beverage revenue within our consolidated statements of operations. The estimated retail value related to goods and services provided to guests without charge or upon redemption under the Company’s player loyalty programs included in departmental revenues, and therefore reducing gaming revenues, are as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021: Three Months Ended March 31, (in thousands) 2022 2021 Hotel $ 15,902 $ 6,909 Food and beverage 16,710 10,449 Retail, entertainment and other 2,207 951 $ 34,819 $ 18,309 Sales tax and other taxes collected on behalf of governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and are not included in revenue or operating expenses.

Refer to Note 5 “ Acquisitions Contract Assets and Contract Related Liabilities The Company’s receivables related to contracts with customers are primarily comprised of marker balances and other amounts due from gaming activities, amounts due for hotel stays, and amounts due from tracks and OTB locations. The Company’s receivables related to contracts with customers were $37.2 million and $35.5 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company has the following liabilities related to contracts with customers: liabilities for loyalty programs, advance deposits made for goods and services yet to be provided and unpaid wagers. All of the contract liabilities are short-term in nature and are included in “Accrued liabilities” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Loyalty program incentives earned by customers are typically redeemed within one year from when they are earned and expire if a customer’s account is inactive for more than 12 months; therefore, the majority of these incentives outstanding at the end of a period will either be redeemed or expire within the next 12 months. While properties were operating at limited capacity, many properties extended the expiration dates for tiered status programs or temporarily suspended periodic purges of unused loyalty points. As properties have resumed operations at full capacity, many have reinstated their pre-COVID-19 practices or put new loyalty programs into place. Advance deposits are typically for future banquet events, hotel room reservations and interactive player deposits. The banquet and hotel reservation deposits are usually received weeks or months in advance of the event or hotel stay. The Company holds restricted cash for interactive player deposits and records a corresponding withdrawal liability. Unpaid wagers include the Company’s outstanding chip liability, unpaid slot and pari-mutuel and sports betting tickets. Liabilities related to contracts with customers as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were as follows: (in thousands) March 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Loyalty programs $ 19,759 $ 19,099 Advanced deposits from customers 26,415 29,168 Unpaid wagers 10,483 11,307 Total $ 56,657 $ 59,574 The Company recognized $8.3 million and $2.8 million of revenue related to loyalty program redemptions for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

ACQUISITIONS

Business Combinations [Abstract]
ACQUISITIONS	ACQUISITIONS Recent Acquisitions The Company accounted for all of the following acquisitions as business combinations using the acquisition method with Bally’s as the accounting acquirer in accordance with ASC 805. Under this method of accounting, the purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of the acquiree based upon their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The fair value of the identifiable intangible assets acquired are determined by using an income approach. Significant assumptions utilized in the income approach are based on company-specific information and projections, which are not observable in the market and are thus considered Level 3 measurements as defined by authoritative guidance. The purchase price allocation for the acquisitions of Bally’s Evansville, Bally’s Quad Cities, Gamesys and certain of the Bally’s Interactive Acquisitions, as defined below, are preliminary and will be finalized when valuations are complete and final assessments of the fair value of other acquired assets and assumed liabilities are completed. There can be no assurance that such finalizations will not result in material changes from the preliminary purchase price allocations. The Company’s estimates and assumptions are subject to change during the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date), as the Company finalizes the valuations of certain tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company recorded transaction costs related to its recent and pending acquisitions of $4.5 million and $12.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. These costs are included in “Acquisition, integration and restructuring” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Refer to Note 11 “ Acquisition, Integration and Restructuring Bally’s Lake Tahoe Casino Resort On April 6, 2021, the Company acquired Bally’s Lake Tahoe in Lake Tahoe, Nevada from Eldorado Resorts, Inc. (“Eldorado”) and certain of its affiliates for $14.2 million, payable in cash one year from the closing date and subject to customary post-closing adjustments. The deferred purchase price is included within “Accrued liabilities” of the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The identifiable intangible assets recorded in connection with the closing of the Bally’s Lake Tahoe acquisition include gaming licenses of $5.2 million with an indefinite life and a trade name of $0.2 million, which was amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of approximately six months. The fair value of the identifiable intangible assets acquired was determined by using an income approach. The following table summarizes the consideration paid and the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the acquisition of Bally’s Lake Tahoe on April 6, 2021: (in thousands) Preliminary as of December 31, 2021 Year to Date Adjustments Final as of March 31, 2022 Total current assets $ 4,683 $ — $ 4,683 Property and equipment, net 6,361 — 6,361 Right of use assets, net 57,017 — 57,017 Intangible assets, net 5,430 — 5,430 Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (3,402) (144) (3,546) Lease liabilities (52,927) — (52,927) Other long-term liabilities (941) 37 (904) Net assets acquired 16,221 (107) 16,114 Bargain purchase gain (2,049) 107 (1,942) Total purchase price $ 14,172 $ — $ 14,172 During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded a bargain purchase gain of $2.0 million based on the preliminary purchase price allocation as the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeded the purchase price consideration. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, based on the final purchase price allocation, an adjustment of $0.1 million was recorded reducing the bargain purchase gain to $1.9 million. The original agreement to acquire Bally’s Lake Tahoe from Eldorado was made concurrently with the agreement of Bally’s Shreveport and the Company believes that it was able to acquire Bally’s Lake Tahoe for less than fair value as a result of a distressed sale whereby Eldorado was required by the Federal Trade Commission to divest the properties prior to its merger with Caesars coupled with the timing of the agreement to purchase which was in the middle of COVID-19 related shutdowns of casinos in the United States. Bally’s Evansville On June 3, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of the Bally’s Evansville casino operations from Caesars. The total purchase price was $139.7 million. Cash paid by the Company at closing, net of $9.4 million cash acquired, was $130.4 million, excluding transaction costs.

The preliminary fair value of the identifiable intangible assets acquired was determined by using an income approach. The following table summarizes the consideration paid and the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the acquisition of Bally’s Evansville on June 3, 2021.

The preliminary fair value of the identifiable intangible assets acquired was determined by using an income approach. Goodwill recognized is deductible for local tax purposes and has been assigned as of the acquisition date to the Company’s Casinos & Resorts reportable segment, which includes the reporting unit expected to benefit from the synergies of the acquisition. Qualitative factors that contribute to the recognition of goodwill include an organized workforce and expected synergies from integrating the property into the Company’s casino portfolio and future development of its omni-channel strategy.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	3 Months Ended

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The Company categorizes financial assets and liabilities based on the following fair value hierarchy: Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly; Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. The following tables summarize the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement: March 31, 2022 (in thousands) Balance Sheet Location Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Other current assets Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 36 $ — $ — Convertible loans Prepaid expenses and other current assets 5,774 — — Convertible loans Other assets — — 2,138 Total $ 5,810 $ — $ 2,138 Liabilities: Sinclair Performance Warrants Naming rights liabilities $ — $ — $ 56,185 Contingent consideration Contingent consideration payable — — 13,077 Total $ — $ — $ 69,262 December 31, 2021 (in thousands) Balance Sheet Location Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Other current assets Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 176 $ — $ — Convertible loans Other assets 5,905 — 2,025 Total $ 6,081 $ — $ 2,025 Liabilities: Sinclair Performance Warrants Naming rights liabilities $ — $ — $ 69,564 Contingent consideration Contingent consideration payable — — 34,931 Total $ — $ — $ 104,495 The following table summarizes the changes in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 assets and liabilities: ( in thousands) Sinclair Performance Warrants Contingent Consideration Convertible Loans Total Beginning as of December 31, 2021 $ 69,564 $ 34,931 $ 2,025 $ 106,520 Additions in the period (acquisition fair value) — — 167 167 Reductions in the period — (15,862) — (15,862) Change in fair value (13,379) (5,992) (54) (19,425) Ending as of March 31, 2022 $ 56,185 $ 13,077 $ 2,138 $ 71,400 ( in thousands) Sinclair Performance Warrants Contingent Consideration Total Beginning as of December 31, 2020 $ 88,119 $ — $ 88,119 Additions in the period (acquisition fair value) — 58,623 58,623 Change in fair value 25,880 (3,142) 22,738 Ending as of March 31, 2021 $ 113,999 $ 55,481 $ 169,480 The gains (losses) recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for derivatives not designated as hedging instruments during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 are as follows: Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations Location Three months ended March 31, (in thousands) 2022 2021 Sinclair Performance Warrants Change in value of naming rights liabilities $ 13,379 $ (25,880) Sinclair Options Change in value of naming rights liabilities $ — $ (1,526) Sinclair Performance Warrants Sinclair Performance Warrants are accounted for as a derivative instrument classified as a liability within Level 3 of the hierarchy as the warrants are not traded in active markets and are subject to certain assumptions and estimates made by management related to the probability of meeting performance milestones. These assumptions and the probability of meeting performance targets may have a significant impact on the value of the warrant. The Performance warrants are valued using an option pricing model, considering the Company’s estimated probabilities of achieving the performance milestones for each tranche. Inputs to this valuation approach include volatility of 63%, risk free rates between 1.02% and 1.24%, the Company’s common stock price for each period and expected terms between 3.4 and 4.9 years. Sinclair Options As of December 31, 2020, the Options were accounted for as a derivative liability because the Options could have been required to be settled in cash, outside the Company’s control, prior to formal stockholder approval. Upon stockholder approval on January 27, 2021, the Options met the criteria to be classified as equity, at which point, the Options were adjusted to fair value of $59.7 million and were reclassified from “Naming rights liabilities” to “Additional paid-in-capital” in the consolidated balance sheet. The increase in fair value of the Options from $58.2 million as of December 31, 2020, through January 27, 2021 was $1.5 million and resulted in a mark to market loss in the first quarter of 2021, reported within “Change in value of naming rights liabilities” in the consolidated statements of operations. The fair value was based on a Black-Scholes model using Level 2 inputs, including volatility rates, risk free rates, the Company’s common stock price and expected term. Upon stockholder approval on January 27, 2021, the Options met the criteria to be classified as equity. Contingent consideration Contingent consideration related to acquisitions is recorded at fair value as a liability on the acquisition date and is remeasured at each reporting date, based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. In connection with the acquisitions of SportCaller and MKF on February 5, 2021 and March 23, 2021, respectively, the Company recorded contingent consideration at fair value of $58.6 million as of the acquisition dates. After the acquisition dates and until the contingencies are resolved, the fair value of contingent consideration payable is adjusted each reporting period based primarily on the expected probability of achievement of the contingency targets which are subject to management’s estimate and the Company’s stock price. These changes in fair value are recognized within “Other, net” of the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company settled contingent consideration of $15.9 million comprised of 393,778 immediately exercisable penny warrants to MKF and 107,832 shares of Bally’s Corporation common stock and $0.1 million in cash to SportCaller in satisfaction of contingencies related to the respective acquisition agreements (as described in Note 5 “Acquisitions”). Other current assets The Company has agreements with certain third-party sports betting operators for online sports betting and related iGaming market access. Pursuant to one of these agreements, the Company has a present right to payment for a fixed number of equity securities in exchange for market access. The Company recorded these securities as a stock receivable at their fair value based on quoted prices in active markets and classified within Level 1 of the hierarchy with changes to fair value included within “Other, net” of the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Convertible loans The Company has certain agreements with vendors to provide a portfolio of games to its customers. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company has issued loans to its vendors and has an option to convert the loans to shares of the vendors’ equity, exercisable within a specified time period. The Company recorded the short-term portion of the instruments within “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and the long-term portion of the instruments within “Other assets” at their fair value. The fair value of the loans to vendors with share prices quoted on active markets are classified within Level 1 of the hierarchy and the fair value of the loans to vendors with share values based on unobservable inputs are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy. Long-term debt The fair values of the Company’s Term Loan Facility and senior notes are estimated based on quoted prices in active markets and are classified as a Level 1 measurements. The fair value of the Revolving Credit Facility approximates its carrying amount as it is revolving, variable rate debt, and is also classified as a Level 1 measurement. In the table below, the carrying amount of the Company’s long-term debt is net of debt issuance costs and debt discounts.

Leases [Abstract]
LEASES	LEASES GLPI Master Lease In connection with the acquisition of Bally’s Evansville, an affiliate of GLPI has agreed to acquire the real estate associated with the Evansville Casino from the Seller for $340.0 million and lease it to the Company under a master lease agreement (the “Master Lease”). GLPI also agreed to acquire the real estate associated with Bally’s Dover for $144.0 million and lease it back to the Company under the Master Lease. The Master Lease with GLPI has an initial term of 15 years and includes four, five-year options to renew and requires combined minimum annual payments of $40.0 million, subject to escalation. The acquisition of Bally’s Evansville and commencement of the Master Lease was June 4, 2021. During the second quarter of 2021, the Company sold the real estate associated with Bally’s Dover to GLPI and recorded a gain of $53.4 million representing the difference in the transaction price and the derecognition of assets. During the second quarter of 2021, the company recognized a lease liability and corresponding right of use asset of $117.3 million and $276.9 million related to Bally’s Dover and Bally’s Evansville, respectively. These leases are accounted for as operating leases within the provisions of ASC 842, over the lease term or until a re-assessment event occurs. On April 1, 2022, the Company completed its sale-leaseback transaction relating to its Bally’s Quad Cities and Bally’s Black Hawk properties which was added to the Master Lease. Operating Leases In addition to the operating lease components under the Master Lease, the Company is committed under various long-term operating lease agreements primarily related to submerged tidelands, property and equipment at Hard Rock Biloxi, Bally’s Kansas City, Bally’s Shreveport and Bally’s Lake Tahoe. These leases include various renewal options which are included in the lease term when the Company has determined it is reasonably certain of exercising the options. Certain of these leases include percentage rent payments based on property revenues and/or rent escalation provisions determined by increases in the consumer price index (“CPI”). These percentage rent and escalation provisions are treated as variable lease payments and recognized as lease expense in the period in which the obligation for those payments are incurred. Discount rates used to determine the present value of the lease payments are based on a credit-adjusted secured borrowing rate commensurate with the term of the lease. In the second quarter of 2021, in connection with the acquisition of Bally’s Lake Tahoe, the Company assumed a lease for the real estate and land underlying the operations of Bally’s Lake Tahoe facility. The original term of the lease expires on December 31, 2035, at which point the Company will have five options to renew the lease for additional periods of five years each. The renewal options have not been included in the calculation of the lease liability or right of use asset as the Company is not reasonably certain to exercise the options. The fixed rent due under the lease can escalate each year based on changes in CPI. Additionally, the Company is obligated to pay an annual percentage rent based on property net revenues. Additionally, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries lease office space, data centers, parking space, memorabilia and equipment under agreements classified as operating leases that expire on various dates through 2030. Variable expenses generally represent the Company’s share of the landlord’s operating expenses, percentage rent and CPI increases. The Company does not have any leases classified as financing leases. The Company had operating lease liabilities of approximately $526.8 million and $531.0 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and right of use assets of approximately $502.2 million and $507.8 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, which were included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Total lease cost under ASC 842 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, (in thousands) 2022 2021 Operating leases: Operating lease cost $ 15,299 $ 1,332 Variable lease cost 1,817 138 Operating lease expense 17,116 1,470 Short-term lease expense 3,737 1,054 Total lease expense $ 20,853 $ 2,524 Supplemental cash flow and other information for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, related to operating leases was as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, (in thousands) 2022 2021 Cash paid for amounts included in the lease liability - operating cash flows from operating leases $ 13,187 $ 809 Right of use assets obtained in exchange for operating lease liabilities $ 1,363 $ 388 March 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Weighted average remaining lease term 15.1 years 15.3 years Weighted average discount rate 6.1 % 6.1 % As of March 31, 2022, future minimum rental commitments under noncancelable operating leases are as follows: (in thousands) March 31, 2022 Remaining 2022 $ 42,725 2023 55,725 2024 55,184 2025 54,215 2026 53,389 Thereafter 560,685 Total 821,923 Less: present value discount (295,170) Operating lease liabilities $ 526,753 Future operating lease payments as shown above include $87.7 million related to extension options that are reasonably certain of being exercised.

On April 20, 2021, the Company issued to affiliates of Sinclair a warrant to purchase 909,090 common shares for an aggregate purchase price of $50.0 million, the same price per share as the public offering price in Bally’s common stock public offering ($55.00 per share). The net proceeds were used to finance a portion of the purchase price of the Gamesys acquisition. The exercise price of the warrant is nominal, and its exercise is subject to, among other conditions, requisite gaming authority approvals. Sinclair agreed not to acquire more than 4.9% of Bally’s outstanding common shares without such approvals. In addition, in accordance with the agreements that Bally’s and Sinclair entered into in November 2020, Sinclair exchanged 2,086,908 common shares for substantially identical warrants.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
SEGMENT REPORTING	SEGMENT REPORTING During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company updated its operating and reportable segments to better align with its strategic growth initiatives in light of recent acquisitions. The growth and diversification achieved through the Company’s recent acquisitions resulted in a change in the way the Company’s chief operating decision maker makes operating decisions, assesses the performance of the business and allocates resources. As a result of this realignment, the Company determined it had three operating and reportable segments: Casinos & Resorts, North America Interactive and International Interactive. The “Other” category includes interest expense for the Company and certain unallocated corporate operating expenses and other adjustments, including eliminations of transactions among segments to reconcile to the Company’s consolidated results including, among other expenses, share-based compensation, merger and acquisition costs and certain non-recurring charges. During the first quarter of 2022 as a result of the segment realignment noted above, the Company changed its methodology for allocating certain corporate operating expenses within advertising, general and administrative expense previously reported in “Other” to directly apply such costs to the segment supported. The prior year results presented below were reclassified to conform to the new segment presentation. The Company’s three reportable segments as of March 31, 2022 are: Casinos & Resorts - Bally’s Twin River, Bally’s Tiverton, Bally’s Dover, Bally’s Atlantic City, Bally’s Evansville, Hard Rock Biloxi, Bally’s Vicksburg, Bally’s Kansas City, Bally’s Black Hawk, Bally’s Shreveport, Bally’s Lake Tahoe, Bally’s Quad Cities and Bally’s Arapahoe Park. North America Interactive - Bally’s Interactive, SportCaller, MKF, AVP, Telescope, Degree 53, Live at the Bike, Gamesys’ North American operations and online and mobile sports betting operations. International Interactive - Gamesys’ Europe and Asia operations. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of its pending acquisition of Tropicana Las Vegas and the development of a casino in Centre City, Pennsylvania on its operating and reportable segments; however, it is expected that they will be included within the Casinos & Resorts segment. As of March 31, 2022, the Company’s operations were predominately in the US, Europe and Asia with a less substantive footprint in other countries world-wide. For geographical reporting purposes, revenue generated outside of the US has been aggregated into the International Interactive reporting segment, and consists primarily of revenue from the UK and Japan. The Company does not have any revenues from any individual customers that exceed 10% of total reported revenues. The Company utilizes Adjusted EBITDA (defined below) as a measure of its performance. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is representative of its ongoing business operations including its ability to service debt and to fund capital expenditures, acquisitions and operations, in addition to it being a commonly used measure of performance in the gaming industry used by industry analysts to evaluate operations and operating performance. The following tables set forth certain operating data for the Company’s three reportable segments. The Other category is included in the following tables in order to reconcile the segment information to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE	EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE Basic earnings (loss) per common share is calculated in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share , which requires entities that have issued securities other than common stock that participate in dividends with common stock (“participating securities”) to apply the two-class method to compute basic earnings (loss) per common share. The two-class method is an earnings allocation method under which basic earnings (loss) per common share is calculated for each class of common stock and participating security as if all such earnings had been distributed during the period. To calculate basic earnings (loss) per share, the earnings allocated to common shares is divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, contingently issuable warrants, and RSUs, RSAs, and PSUs for which no future service is required as a condition to the delivery of the underlying common stock (collectively, basic shares). Diluted earnings per share includes the determinants of basic earnings per share and, in addition, reflects the dilutive effect of the common stock deliverable for stock options, using the treasury stock method, and for RSUs, RSAs and PSUs for which future service is required as a condition to the delivery of the underlying common stock.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash	Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash The Company considers all cash balances and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
Consolidation, Variable Interest Entity, Policy	Variable Interest Entities The Company evaluates entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights to determine if it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. An entity is a VIE if it has any of the following characteristics (1) has insufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, (2) equity holders, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or (3) the entity is structured with non-substantive voting rights. The primary beneficiary of the VIE is generally the entity that has (a) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company consolidates its investment in a VIE when it determines that it is its primary beneficiary. In determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, the Company considers qualitative and quantitative factors, including, but not limited to: which activities most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and which party controls such activities; and significance of the Company’s investment and other means of participation in the VIE’s expected profits/losses. Significant judgments related to these determinations include estimates about the current and future fair values and performance of assets held by these VIEs and general market conditions.
