Litigation. The Company is a party to various legal and administrative proceedings, which have arisen in the normal 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 Companys consolidated financial condition and those estimated losses are not expected to have a material impact on its results of operations. In addition, the Company maintains what it believes is adequate insurance coverage to further mitigate the risks of such proceedings. However, such proceedings can be costly, time consuming and unpredictable and, therefore, no assurance can be given that the final outcome of such proceedings may not materially impact the Companys consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Further, no assurance can be given that the amount of scope of existing insurance coverage will be sufficient to cover losses arising from such matter. Collective Bargaining Agreements. As of December 31, 2018, we had approximately 18,700 employees and 21 collective bargaining agreements covering approximately 3,400 employees. Two collective bargaining agreements are scheduled to expire in 2019, and we are currently renegotiating three that expired in 2018. There can be no assurance that we will be able to extend or enter into replacement agreements. If we are able to extend or enter into replacement agreements, there can be no assurance as to whether the terms will on comparable terms to the existing agreements . Agreements with Horsemen and Pari-mutuel Clerks . The Federal Interstate Horse Racing Act and the state racing laws in West Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania require that, in order to simulcast races, we have written agreements with the horse owners and trainers at those racetracks. In addition, in order to operate slot machines in West Virginia, we are required to enter into written agreements regarding the proceeds of the slot machines (a proceeds agreement) with a representative of a majority of the horse owners and trainers and with a representative of a majority of the pari-mutuel clerks. We are required to have a proceeds agreement in effect on July 1 of each year with the horsemen and the pari-mutuel clerks as a condition to renewal of our video lottery license for such year. If the requisite proceeds agreement is not in place as of July 1 of a particular year, Mountaineers application for renewal of its video lottery license could be denied, in which case Mountaineer would not be permitted to operate either its slot machines or table games. In Pennsylvania and Ohio, we must have an agreement with the representative of the horse owners. We have all the requisite agreements in place referenced in this sub section at Mountaineer, Scioto Downs and Presque Isle Downs. Certain agreements referenced above may be terminated upon written notice by either party.
