| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Basis of presentation |
Basis of presentation. The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission "SEC". In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed financial statements contain all necessary adjustments (including all those of a recurring nature and those necessary in order for the financial statements to be not misleading) and all disclosures to present fairly our financial position and the results of our operations and cash flows for the periods presented. These unaudited interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in our 2022 Form 10-K ("2022 10-K"). The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. |

| Use of estimates and assumptions |
Use of estimates and assumptions. We are required to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based on our historical experience, contract terms, observance of known trends in our Company and the industry as a whole, and information available from other outside sources. Our estimates affect reported amounts for assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures. Actual results may differ from initial estimates. |
|||||||||||||||||||||
| Consolidation |
Consolidation. The financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis and include the results of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. |
|||||||||||||||||||||
| Reclassifications |
Reclassifications. Certain accounts and financial statement captions in the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentations and had no effect on net income (loss). |
|||||||||||||||||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents. Our cash and cash equivalents consist of bank deposits. With the exception of funds held outside the U.S., these deposits are in insured banking institutions, which are insured up to $250,000 per account. To date, we have not experienced uninsured losses. In general, we invest amounts in excess of the insurance maximums in a money market fund that invests solely in US government and agency securities. |
|||||||||||||||||||||
| Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts |
Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts receivable are stated at face value less an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts receivable are non-interest bearing. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a quarterly basis to determine if any receivables will potentially be uncollectible. The allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on specific customer reviews, historical collection trends and current economic and business conditions. |
|||||||||||||||||||||
| Goodwill |
Goodwill. Goodwill (Note 4) is assessed for impairment at least annually or at other times during the year if events or circumstances indicate that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting asset is below the carrying amount. If found to be impaired, the carrying amount will be reduced, and an impairment loss will be recognized. |
|||||||||||||||||||||
| Other intangible assets, net |
Other intangible assets, net. The following intangible assets have finite lives and are being amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated economic lives as follows:
Other intangible assets (Note 4) are analyzed for potential impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable and exceeds the fair value, which is the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the intangible assets. No impairment was recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Software relates primarily to assets where costs are capitalizable during the application development phase. External labor-related costs associated with product development are included in software. |
|||||||||||||||||||||
| Fair value of financial instruments |
Fair value of financial instruments. We estimate fair value for financial assets and liabilities in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value, requires certain disclosures and discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow) and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). ASC 820 utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels:
•
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
•
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.
The estimated fair values of cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their carrying amounts due to their short-term nature. The estimated fair value of our long-term debt approximates its carrying value based upon our expected borrowing rate for debt with similar remaining maturities and comparable risk. The Company currently has no financial instruments measured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis based on valuation reports provided by counterparties. |
|||||||||||||||||||||
| Leases |
Leases. We account for lease components (such as rent payments) separately from non-lease components (such as common-area maintenance costs, real estate and sales taxes and insurance costs). Operating and finance leases with terms greater than 12 months are recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as right-of-use assets with corresponding lease liabilities. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis using the discount rate implicit in each lease or our incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement date (Note 5). |
|||||||||||||||||||||
| Revenue Recognition |
Revenue recognition. We account for our revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. (Note 3). |
|||||||||||||||||||||
| Foreign currency translation |
Foreign currency translation. The functional currency for our subsidiary Progressive Games Partners ("PGP") is the Euro. Gains and losses from settlement of transactions involving foreign currency amounts are included in other income or expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Gains and losses resulting from translating assets and liabilities from the functional currency to U.S. dollars are included in accumulated other comprehensive income or (loss) in the consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ deficit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||
| Segment Information |
Segment information. We define operating segments as components of our enterprise for which separate financial information is reviewed regularly by the chief operating decision-makers to evaluate performance and to make operating decisions. We currently have two operating segments (land-based gaming ("GG Core") and online gaming ("GG Digital")) which are aggregated into one reporting segment. |

| Employment agreement amendment |
Employment agreement amendment. On June 15, 2022, the Company entered into amendment number 3 (the "Amendment") to the employment agreement, dated July 27, 2017 (and previously amended by amendments number 1 and number 2), between the Company and Todd P. Cravens, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. The Amendment (i) extends the term of the agreement from July 27, 2022, to July 26, 2024; (ii) provides for a potential equity incentive grant of stock for calendar year 2022 and calendar year 2023, with (x) a grant of 20,000 shares if the Company achieves 80% of its EBITDA Budget target (as defined by management and as adopted by the Board for the calendar year) for calendar year 2022, (y) a grant of 20,000 shares if the Company achieves 80% of its EBITDA Budget target (as adopted by the Board for the calendar year) for calendar year 2023, and (z) an additional grant under the following performance goals for each of calendar year 2022 and 2023: a) 100% of EBITDA Target – 20,000 shares, b) 110% of EBITDA Target – 30,000 shares, and c) 115% of EBITDA Target – 40,000 shares; and (iii) increases Mr. Cravens' annual compensation to $300,000 effective as of August 1, 2022.
The shares granted in connection with the employment agreement vest one year from the date of grant. Should Mr. Cravens leave the Company or be terminated with good cause prior the vesting date he will forfeit any and all rights to the shares. Pursuant to the Amendment, the Board maintains reasonable, good faith discretion to make adjustments to the Company's EBITDA performance relating to the Company’s management incentive program, where appropriate in each year, to account for factors contributing positively and negatively to the Company's actual recorded EBITDA performance that could be considered (by the Board) unrelated to or not driven by the Company's performance.
In addition, should there be a circumstance that may trigger a change of control, as defined in the Company's 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the "2014 Equity Plan"), in either the 2022 or 2023 calendar years, if not already granted, the 20,000 shares from each of the 2022 and 2023 CEO executive Incentive from the 80% EBITDA target, will be granted immediately. The Board retains discretion to be exercised reasonably and in good faith to accelerate the grant of remaining shares under the 2022 and 2023 equity incentives set forth in the Amendment.
Refer to Note 9 for updated information on the employment agreement with Mr. Cravens. |

| Option surrender |
Option surrender. The Company's 2014 Equity Plan allows option holders to satisfy the exercise price of stock options, and the related tax withholding resulting from such exercise, by cash and by other means of "cashless" exercise, including: (a) by tendering, either actually or by attestation, shares of stock; (b) by irrevocably authorizing a third party to sell shares of stock (or a sufficient portion of the shares) acquired upon exercise of the option and to remit to the Company a sufficient portion of the sale proceeds to pay the exercise price and any tax withholding resulting from such exercise; (c) with respect to options, payment through a net exercise such that, without the payment of any funds, the option holder may exercise the option and receive the net number of shares of stock equal in value to (i) the number of shares of stock as to which the option is being exercised, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the fair market value less the exercise price, and the denominator of which is such fair market value (the number of net shares of stock to be received shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of stock); (d) by personal, certified or cashiers’ check; (e) by other property deemed acceptable by the committee administering the 2014 Equity Plan; or (f) by any combination thereof.
On June 23, 2022, pursuant to the 2014 Equity Plan and a Stock Option Grant Notice and Stock Option Agreement dated July 27, 2017, Mr. Cravens exercised options and satisfied the exercise price and applicable tax withholding through a net settlement by surrendering to the Company options to purchase shares having a fair market value equal to the sum of the exercise price and the taxes. The exercise price and related tax withholding totaled $1,280,133 and was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital and common stock. Withholding tax relating to the transaction was settled on August 10, 2023. |

| Recently adopted accounting standards |
Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. In February 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326). ASU 2020-02 provides updated guidance on how an entity should measure credit losses on financial instruments. We do not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. Reference Rate Reform. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope. The amendments were effective upon issuance and provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. We have completed our evaluation of significant contracts. Contracts reviewed have been modified to apply a new reference rate, primarily the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), where applicable. Adoption of the new reference rate was effective May 30, 2023. The guidance has not had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. |
