A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified asset means the lessee has both (a) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and (b) the right to direct the use of the asset. Operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the discount rate for the lease at the commencement date. For our operating leases for which the rate implicit in the lease is not may Revenue Recognition The Company’s revenue contracts with customers consist of gaming wagers, hotel room sales, food & beverage offerings and other amenity transactions.

We reward customers, through the use of bonus programs, with points based on amounts wagered that can be redeemed for a specified period of time for complimentary slot play, food & beverage, and to a lesser extent for other goods or services, depending upon the property. The estimated retail value related to goods and services provided to customers without charge or upon redemption of points under our player loyalty programs, included in departmental revenues and therefore reducing our gaming revenues, are as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, (In thousands) 2021 2020 2021 2020 Food & beverage $ 26,202 $ 5,235 $ 48,904 $ 49,415 Rooms 15,310 3,069 28,249 22,155 Other 1,489 172 2,565 3,054 Gaming Taxes We are subject to taxes based on gross gaming revenues in the jurisdictions in which we operate.

Subject to state law and regulatory approvals, we have established a presence in the online gaming and sports wagering industry by leveraging FanDuel's technology and related services to operate Boyd Gaming-branded mobile and online sports-betting and gaming services. In turn, FanDuel has established and operates mobile and online sports-betting and gaming services under the FanDuel brand in some of the states where we are licensed. We currently offer these services in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Mississippi and Pennsylvania. We have also entered into agreements with other companies for the operation of online gaming offerings under a market-access agreement with MGM Resorts. The activities related to these collaborative arrangements are recorded in other revenue and other expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
