3 OPERATING SEGMENTS

An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Company’s other components. Operating results of each segment for which specific financial information is available are reviewed regularly by the Company’s Chief Operating Officer ("COO"), to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance.

Segment results that are reported to the COO include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly corporate assets (primarily the Company’s headquarters), and income tax assets and liabilities.

Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the Year to acquire property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets other than goodwill.

The Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different services. They are managed separately because of their unique operational and marketing requirements. Each segment complements the other segments. The Gaming segment includes three casinos offering slot machines, VLT's, lottery ticket kiosks and table games. The Hotel segment includes three hotels catering to mid-range clients. The Food and Beverage segment has operations that are located within the casinos and hotels as a complement to those segments.

9 LEASES

The Company's leases are comprised of predominantly a property lease for the Rivers Casino & Entertainment Centre and numerous pieces of small equipment throughout the Company, collectively known as right-of-use assets. The corresponding lease liabilities for right-of-use assets are subject to remeasurement for changes in future lease payments with corresponding adjustments made to the carrying value of the right-of-use asset.

Additional lease payments are recognized in profit (loss) and consist of short-term leases with durations of twelve months or less, and leases of low value consisting primarily of small equipment. Additional lease payments also include variable portions of property leases based on usage such as property tax and insurance portions of common area property costs.
