17. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

The Company is a party to other various legal and administrative proceedings which have arisen in the ordinary course of its business. Estimated losses are accrued for these proceedings when the loss is probable and can be estimated. The current liability for the estimated losses associated with these proceedings is not material to the Company’s consolidated financial condition and those estimated losses are not expected to have a material impact on results of operations. Although the Company maintains what it believes is adequate insurance coverage to mitigate the risk of loss pertaining to covered matters, legal and administrative proceedings can be costly, time-consuming and unpredictable.

Although no assurance can be given, the Company does not believe that the final outcome of these matters, including costs to defend itself in such matters, will have a material adverse effect on the company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Further, no assurance can be given that the amount or scope of existing insurance coverage will be sufficient to cover losses arising from such matters.

New York Conveyance Agreement

On November 17, 2025, the Company entered into a Conveyance Agreement (the “Conveyance Agreement”) with the City of New York (the “City”) and Bally’s New York Operating Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a subsidiary of the Company (“Bally’s New York”).

The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Conveyance Agreement occurred in February 2026 and was contingent upon, among other things, (i) Bally’s New York’s agreement to (a) make certain capital improvements to Ferry Point Park in the Bronx, NY with a fair market value of approximately $161.0 million and (b) to deliver security instruments to the City to secure the performance and completion of such capital improvements, (ii) the Company being awarded a downstate gaming facility license from the New York State Gaming Commission, (iii) payment by Bally’s New York to the City’s Department of Parks & Recreation of an administrative fee in the amount of $1.0 million, (iv) Bally’s New York’s agreement to pay for all costs and expenses for the development and mapping of the Ring Road Parcel and (v) Bally’s New York’s payment of real property transfer taxes with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Conveyance Agreement.

Performance and other bonds

In general, the Company would only be liable for these guarantees in the event of breach of its obligations and failure to perform under each applicable contract, which the Company determined is not probable. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded as of March 31, 2026 (Successor) and December 31, 2025 (Successor) related to these bonds.
