Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Business Description and Accounting Policies [Text Block]	Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies Organization and Nature of Business Gaming Partners International Corporation (GPIC or the Company) is headquartered in North Las Vegas, Nevada. Our business activities include the manufacture and sale of casino currencies, playing cards, table accessories, table layouts, dice, gaming furniture, roulette wheels, and radio frequency identification (RFID) readers and software, all of which are used with casino table games such as blackjack, poker, baccarat, craps, and roulette. The Company has three operating subsidiaries: Gaming Partners International USA, Inc. (GPI USA) (including GPI Mexicana S.A. de C.V. (GPI Mexicana), our maquiladora manufacturing operation in Mexico, and GPI USA Blue Springs, our manufacturing facility in Missouri); Gaming Partners International SAS (GPI SAS); and Gaming Partners International Asia Limited (GPI Asia). Our subsidiaries have the following distribution and product focus:  GPI USA sells in the United States, Canada, the Caribbean, and Latin America. GPI USA sells our full product line, with most of the products manufactured in either San Luis Rio Colorado, Mexico, or Blue Springs, Missouri. The remainder is either manufactured in France or purchased from United States vendors. We have warehouse inventory in San Luis, Arizona; Blue Springs, Missouri; and North Las Vegas, Nevada. We have sales offices in North Las Vegas, Nevada; Atlantic City, New Jersey; Gulfport, Mississippi; and Blue Springs, Missouri.  GPI SAS sells primarily in Europe and Africa out of its office in Beaune, France. GPI SAS predominantly sells casino currencies, including both American-style, known as chips, and European-style, known as plaques and jetons. Most of the products sold by GPI SAS are manufactured in France, with the remainder manufactured in Mexico.  GPI Asia, located in Macau S.A.R., China, distributes our full product line in the Asia-Pacific region. GPI Asia also sells table layouts that it manufactures in Macau S.A.R. We are one of the gaming industry’s leading manufacturers and suppliers of casino table game equipment. We custom manufacture and supply casino currencies, playing cards, table layouts, gaming furniture, table accessories, dice, roulette wheels, and RFID readers and software, all of which are used with casino table games such as blackjack, poker, baccarat, craps, and roulette. Our products fall into two categories – non-consumable and consumable. Non-consumable products consist of casino currencies, gaming furniture, and RFID solutions. These products typically have a useful life of several years or longer. Sales of non-consumables are typically driven by casino openings, expansions, and rebranding, as well as replacements in the normal course of business. Consumable products consist of playing cards, table accessories, table layouts, and dice. These products each have a useful life that ranges from several hours for playing cards and dice to several months for layouts. Casinos tend to buy these products annually if not more frequently. Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Consolidation and Presentation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GPIC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries GPI SAS, GPI USA, and GPI Asia. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We use the equity method to account for investments in companies if the investment provides the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over operating and financial policies of the investee. Our proportionate share of the net income or loss of these companies is included in consolidated net earnings. Judgment regarding the level of influence over each equity method investment includes considering key factors such as our ownership interest or participation in policy-making decisions and material intercompany transactions. In the event we no longer have the ability to exercise significant influence over an equity-method investee, we would discontinue accounting for the investment under the equity method. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and in the form prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These statements should be read in conjunction with our annual audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the SEC on March 23, 2018. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect only normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for any other interim period or a full fiscal year. Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Not Yet Adopted. Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework. These amendments modify the disclosure requirements for defined benefit plans. The amendments are effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to significantly impact the consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment . These amendments eliminate Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The amendments are effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to significantly impact the consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by reporting lease assets and lease liabilities, both finance (capital) and operating leases, on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. For public companies, the updated guidance is effective for the financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (including interim periods within those fiscal years). Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption and will consult with accounting experts as needed to assist with the implementation of this standard. While the Company continues to evaluate the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements, the Company currently expects the primary impact will be to record right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for existing operating leases in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company currently has $3.5 million in operating lease commitments and does not currently expect the adoption of this new standard to have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations or cash flows. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards. On December 22, 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 (“SAB 118”), which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”). SAB 118 was added to the FASB codification in March 2018 with the issuance of ASU 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 . In accordance with the SAB 118 guidance, some of the income tax effects recorded by the Company in 2017 are provisional, including the one-time transition tax and the re-measurement of our deferred tax assets and liabilities. In addition, we are still evaluating the global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) provisions of the Tax Act and their impact, if any, on our consolidated financial statements. The accounting for these income tax effects may be adjusted during 2018 as a result of our continuing analysis of the Tax Act; additional implementation guidance from the IRS, state tax authorities, the SEC, the FASB, or the Joint Committee on Taxation; and new information from domestic or foreign equity affiliates. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had not finalized its accounting and was still in the measurement period. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-17, Compensation — Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost . The amendments require that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. In the first quarter of 2018 the Company adopted this guidance. It had no significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business . These amendments clarify the definition of a business. The amendments affect all companies and other reporting organizations that must determine whether they have acquired or sold a business. The amendments are effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. In the first quarter of 2018 the Company adopted this guidance prospectively. It had no significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory . These amendments require an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. This guidance indicates that the former exception to income tax accounting that requires companies to defer the income tax effects of certain intercompany transactions would apply only to intercompany inventory transactions. That is, the exception no longer applies to intercompany sales and transfers of other assets (e.g., property and equipment or intangible assets). Under the former exception, income tax expense associated with intra-entity profits in an intercompany sale or transfer of assets was eliminated from earnings. Instead, that cost was deferred and recorded on the balance sheet (e.g., as a prepaid asset) until the assets left the consolidated group. Similarly, the entity was prohibited from recognizing deferred tax assets for the increases in tax bases due to the intercompany sale or transfer. A modified retrospective basis of adoption was required for this guidance. As a result, a cumulative-effect adjustment of approximately $0.4 million has been recorded to retained earnings on January 1, 2018, in connection with this adoption. This cumulative-effect adjustment relates to the prepaid expense associated with intra-entity transfers of property and equipment included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2017. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenues from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . This guidance applies to any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards. This guidance supersedes existing revenue recognition guidance, including most industry-specific guidance, as well as certain related guidance on accounting for contract costs. To further assist with adoption and implementation of ASU 2014-09, the FASB issued the following ASUs:  ASU 2016-08 (Issued March 2016) - Principal versus Agent Consideration (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)  ASU 2016-10 (Issued April 2016) - Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing  ASU 2016-12 (Issued May 2016) - Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients  ASU 2016-20 (Issued December 2016) - Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers The guidance provides for a five-step model to determine the revenue recognized for the transfer of goods or services to customers that reflects the expected entitled consideration in exchange for those goods or services. It also provides clarification for principal versus agent considerations and identifying performance obligations. In addition, the FASB introduced practical expedients related to disclosures of remaining performance obligations, as well as other amendments to guidance on collectability, non-cash consideration and the presentation of sales and other similar taxes. Financial statement disclosures required under the guidance will enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing, judgments, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows relating to customer contracts. The two permitted transition methods under the guidance are the full retrospective approach or a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening retained earnings in the year of adoption (cumulative effect approach). In the first quarter of 2018, we adopted this guidance using a modified retrospective method. It had no significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. Regarding the contract acquisition cost component of the guidance, the Company’s analysis supports use of the practical expedient when recognizing expense related to incremental costs incurred to acquire a contract, as the recovery of such costs is completed in less than one year’s time. Additionally, incremental costs to obtain contracts have been immaterial to date. Accordingly, the Company does not expect any material changes to the timing of when it recognizes expenses related to contract acquisition costs.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2018
Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue from Contract with Customer [Text Block]	Note 2. Revenue Recognition The majority of our revenue is derived from selling and distributing manufactured table game equipment to the casino industry. We recognize revenue after we have completed all of the following steps: - Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer - Identification of the performance obligations in the contract - Determination of the transaction price - Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract - Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation Determining whether these steps have been met may require us to make assumptions and exercise judgment that could significantly impact the timing and amount of revenue reported each period. The majority of our contracts have a similar performance obligation which is the transfer of the individual goods ordered. The Company typically invoices the customer upon shipment. Depending on the size of the customer order we may require deposits that range from 30% to 100% of the total order. On occasion, we may recognize revenue under a bill and hold arrangement. The transfer of ownership, and revenue recognition, occurs at the point the items are ready for physical delivery and the customer is notified – i.e. when the product is manufactured, completed, invoiced, and segregated from our other inventory so that it is not subject to being used to fill other orders. The customer must request a bill and hold arrangement, preferably in writing, and must commit to the purchase. Under the RFID solutions product line, we may recognize revenue from entering into new arrangements which include software and/or multiple elements or deliverables, which include RFID equipment, embedded software licenses, and software maintenance services. In such cases, the Company accounts for individual performance obligations separately if they are distinct. The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. The Company determines the standalone selling prices based on the Company's overall pricing objectives, taking into consideration historical selling prices, market conditions, costs to provide certain services and other factors. A portion of our revenue under RFID solutions is generated by new or existing software and hardware maintenance arrangements. Under these arrangements, customers pay in advance for the maintenance of the hardware or the software. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had contracts with unsatisfied performance obligations extending throughout 2020. Most of our contracts are for one year and renew on March 1 st The application of our revenue recognition policies and changes in our assumptions or judgments affect the timing and amounts of our revenues and costs, as well as deferred revenue.

Debt On June 26, 2015, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with Nevada State Bank to borrow a combined $15.0 million, consisting of a $10.0 million seven-year term loan and a $5.0 million five-year revolving loan. The Company borrowed the full amount under the term loan and has not drawn on funds under the revolving loan. The term loan will mature on June 26, 2022, and the revolving loan will mature on June 26, 2020. The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and events of default, and affirmative, negative and financial covenants. The covenants contain, among other things, limitations on the Company's and its subsidiaries' ability to merge, consolidate, dispose of assets, or incur liens or certain indebtedness. The Company is required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio greater than 1.15 to 1.00 and a leverage ratio less than 3.00 to 1.00. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants as of September 30, 2018. Interest on funds borrowed under the term loan and the revolving loan are charged at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR, which was 2.2% at September 30, 2018, plus 2.25%. The term loan has a straight-line seven-year amortization schedule. In June 2018, we made a $2.0 million early principal repayment against the outstanding term loan and in October 2018, we paid the remaining outstanding balance of the term loan. At September 30, 2018, estimated repayment obligations for the principal balance of long-term debt were as follows (in thousands): Years Ending December 31, Outstanding Debt 2018 (3 months) $ 375 2019 1,543 2020 1,611 2021 222 $ 3,751

Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block]	Note 11. Geographic and Product Line Information We manufacture and sell casino table game equipment in one operating segment - casino table game products. Although the Company derives its revenues from a number of different product lines, the Company neither allocates resources based on the operating results from the individual product lines, nor manages each individual product line as a separate business unit. Our chief operating decision maker is our Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The CEO manages our operations on a consolidated basis to make decisions about overall corporate resource allocation and to assess overall corporate profitability. Our CEO is also the chief operating manager for each of our entities in the United States, France, and Macau S.A.R.; that is, the individual locations do not have “segment,” or “product line,” managers who report to our CEO.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]	Note 13. Income Taxes The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Act) was enacted on December 22, 2017 and reduces the U.S. statutory federal corporate tax rate from 34% to 21%. The effective date of the tax rate change was January 1, 2018. As a result, we adjusted our annual effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, and adjusted our U.S. net deferred tax asset balance at the lower rates. In the first nine months of 2018, the Company did not record an expense or benefit related to the Tax Act. We are subject to taxation in the U.S. and various states and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the tax years 2014 through 2017 remain open to examination under the statute of limitations by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and various states for GPIC and GPI USA and by the Government of the Macau Special Administrative Region - Financial Services Bureau for GPI Asia. Only tax years 2015 to 2017 remain open to examination under the statute of limitations by the French Tax Administration (FTA) for GPI SAS. In 2015, the FTA started an examination of GPI SAS for tax years 2013 and 2012 that is on-going. In the first quarter of 2018, in connection with the FTA’s examination of GPI SAS for tax years 2013 and 2012, GPI paid 1.4 million euros to the FTA. While we were legally obligated to pay this amount, which represents the FTA’s calculation of the taxes owed, this payment does not represent a settlement, nor the end of the examination and we are actively disputing the findings of the FTA. In addition to the on-going FTA examination of GPI SAS for tax years 2013 and 2012, the Company received notification in August 2017 of a federal income tax examination by the IRS for the 2015 tax year. The examination is completed and as a result, we paid $0.1 million of additional tax liability in September 2018. As of September 30, 2018, there was no change to the $0.3 million unrecognized tax benefits reported at December 31, 2017.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Basis of Consolidation and Presentation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GPIC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries GPI SAS, GPI USA, and GPI Asia. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We use the equity method to account for investments in companies if the investment provides the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over operating and financial policies of the investee. Our proportionate share of the net income or loss of these companies is included in consolidated net earnings. Judgment regarding the level of influence over each equity method investment includes considering key factors such as our ownership interest or participation in policy-making decisions and material intercompany transactions. In the event we no longer have the ability to exercise significant influence over an equity-method investee, we would discontinue accounting for the investment under the equity method. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and in the form prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These statements should be read in conjunction with our annual audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the SEC on March 23, 2018. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect only normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for any other interim period or a full fiscal year.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Recently Issued Accounting Standards and Not Yet Adopted. Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework. These amendments modify the disclosure requirements for defined benefit plans. The amendments are effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to significantly impact the consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment . These amendments eliminate Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The amendments are effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to significantly impact the consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by reporting lease assets and lease liabilities, both finance (capital) and operating leases, on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. For public companies, the updated guidance is effective for the financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (including interim periods within those fiscal years). Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption and will consult with accounting experts as needed to assist with the implementation of this standard. While the Company continues to evaluate the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements, the Company currently expects the primary impact will be to record right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for existing operating leases in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company currently has $3.5 million in operating lease commitments and does not currently expect the adoption of this new standard to have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations or cash flows. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards. On December 22, 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 (“SAB 118”), which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”). SAB 118 was added to the FASB codification in March 2018 with the issuance of ASU 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 . In accordance with the SAB 118 guidance, some of the income tax effects recorded by the Company in 2017 are provisional, including the one-time transition tax and the re-measurement of our deferred tax assets and liabilities. In addition, we are still evaluating the global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) provisions of the Tax Act and their impact, if any, on our consolidated financial statements. The accounting for these income tax effects may be adjusted during 2018 as a result of our continuing analysis of the Tax Act; additional implementation guidance from the IRS, state tax authorities, the SEC, the FASB, or the Joint Committee on Taxation; and new information from domestic or foreign equity affiliates. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had not finalized its accounting and was still in the measurement period. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-17, Compensation — Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost . The amendments require that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. In the first quarter of 2018 the Company adopted this guidance. It had no significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business . These amendments clarify the definition of a business. The amendments affect all companies and other reporting organizations that must determine whether they have acquired or sold a business. The amendments are effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. In the first quarter of 2018 the Company adopted this guidance prospectively. It had no significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory . These amendments require an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. This guidance indicates that the former exception to income tax accounting that requires companies to defer the income tax effects of certain intercompany transactions would apply only to intercompany inventory transactions. That is, the exception no longer applies to intercompany sales and transfers of other assets (e.g., property and equipment or intangible assets). Under the former exception, income tax expense associated with intra-entity profits in an intercompany sale or transfer of assets was eliminated from earnings. Instead, that cost was deferred and recorded on the balance sheet (e.g., as a prepaid asset) until the assets left the consolidated group. Similarly, the entity was prohibited from recognizing deferred tax assets for the increases in tax bases due to the intercompany sale or transfer. A modified retrospective basis of adoption was required for this guidance. As a result, a cumulative-effect adjustment of approximately $0.4 million has been recorded to retained earnings on January 1, 2018, in connection with this adoption. This cumulative-effect adjustment relates to the prepaid expense associated with intra-entity transfers of property and equipment included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2017. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenues from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . This guidance applies to any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards. This guidance supersedes existing revenue recognition guidance, including most industry-specific guidance, as well as certain related guidance on accounting for contract costs. To further assist with adoption and implementation of ASU 2014-09, the FASB issued the following ASUs:  ASU 2016-08 (Issued March 2016) - Principal versus Agent Consideration (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)  ASU 2016-10 (Issued April 2016) - Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing  ASU 2016-12 (Issued May 2016) - Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients  ASU 2016-20 (Issued December 2016) - Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers The guidance provides for a five-step model to determine the revenue recognized for the transfer of goods or services to customers that reflects the expected entitled consideration in exchange for those goods or services. It also provides clarification for principal versus agent considerations and identifying performance obligations. In addition, the FASB introduced practical expedients related to disclosures of remaining performance obligations, as well as other amendments to guidance on collectability, non-cash consideration and the presentation of sales and other similar taxes. Financial statement disclosures required under the guidance will enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing, judgments, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows relating to customer contracts. The two permitted transition methods under the guidance are the full retrospective approach or a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening retained earnings in the year of adoption (cumulative effect approach). In the first quarter of 2018, we adopted this guidance using a modified retrospective method. It had no significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. Regarding the contract acquisition cost component of the guidance, the Company’s analysis supports use of the practical expedient when recognizing expense related to incremental costs incurred to acquire a contract, as the recovery of such costs is completed in less than one year’s time. Additionally, incremental costs to obtain contracts have been immaterial to date. Accordingly, the Company does not expect any material changes to the timing of when it recognizes expenses related to contract acquisition costs.
