| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||
| Basis of presentation and Basis of accounting |
Basis of presentation. The accompanying consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements contain all necessary adjustments (including all those of a recurring nature and those necessary in order for the financial statements to not be misleading) and all disclosures to present fairly our financial position and the results of our operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Basis of accounting. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with U.S. GAAP. |
||||||||||||||
| Use of estimates and assumptions |
Use of estimates and assumptions. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make decisions based upon estimates, assumptions, and factors considered relevant to the circumstances. Such decisions include the selection of applicable accounting principles and the use of judgment in their application, the results of which impact reported amounts and disclosures. Changes in future economic conditions or other business circumstances may affect the outcomes of the estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from those anticipated. |
||||||||||||||
| Consolidation |
Consolidation. The financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis and include the results of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Progressive Games Partner, LLC ("PGP") and Galaxy Gaming-01 LLC ("GG-01"). 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 loss. |
||||||||||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of deposits held at major banks and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. 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. |
||||||||||||||
| Accounts receivable and allowance for credit losses |
Accounts receivable and allowance for credit losses. Accounts receivable are stated at face value net of allowance for credit losses. Management estimates the allowance for expected credit losses balance using relevant available information from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in the current environmental economic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecast. The allowance for expected credit losses on financial instruments is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Accounts receivable are non-interest bearing. Accounts are written off when management deems them to be uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts previously written off are recorded when received. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, there was no material activity in allowance for credit losses. |

| Assets deployed at client locations, net |
Assets deployed at client locations, net. Our Enhanced Table Systems are assembled by us and accounted for as assemblies in process until deployed at our casino clients’ premises. Assemblies in process are maintained at the Company and externally at third-party warehouses. Once deployed and placed into service at client locations, the assets are transferred from assemblies in process and reported as assets deployed at client locations. These assets are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation on assets deployed at client locations is calculated using the straight-line method over a three-year period and commences on the date they are transferred to the client location. |
||||||||||||||
| Property and equipment, net |
Property and equipment, net. Property and equipment are being depreciated over their estimated useful lives ( to five years) using the straight-line method of depreciation (Property and equipment are analyzed for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable and exceeds their fair value.) |
||||||||||||||
| Goodwill |
Goodwill. The excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, is recorded as goodwill. The Company tests for possible impairment of goodwill at least annually, or when circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. The Company has the option to begin with a qualitative assessment, commonly referred to as “Step 0”, to determine whether it is more likely than not that the reporting unit’s fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying value. This qualitative assessment may include, but is not limited to, reviewing factors such as the general economic environment, industry and market conditions, changes in key assumptions used since the most recently performed valuation and overall financial performance of the reporting units. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying value, the Company performs a quantitative goodwill impairment analysis, and depending upon the results of that measurement, the recorded goodwill may be written down and charged to income from operations when the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit. |
||||||||||||||
| 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:
Software relates primarily to assets where costs are capitalizable during the application development phase. External and internal labor-related costs associated with product development are included in software. The Company reviews its identifiable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are recognized for identifiable intangibles, other than goodwill, when indicators of impairment are present and the estimated undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the assets’ carrying amount. No impairment was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. |
||||||||||||||
| Fair value of financial instruments |
Fair value of financial instruments. Fair value is defined as a market-based measurement intended to estimate the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. 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 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs when measuring fair value. These inputs are categorized as follows:
•
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 carrying values of cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value 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 (level 2). 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. The Company classifies leases at inception as operating leases or finance leases in accordance with ASC 842, "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 consolidated balance sheets as right-of-use assets with corresponding lease liabilities. Lease liabilities are amortized over the lease term using the effective interest method, while lease assets are depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life or the lease term. The discount rate used to determine present value is typically the incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement, unless the implicit rate in the lease is readily determinable. Subsequent changes in lease terms or payments are adjusted accordingly. |
||||||||||||||
| Revenue Recognition |
Revenue recognition. We account for our revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"). |
||||||||||||||
| Costs of ancillary products and assembled components |
Costs of ancillary products and assembled components. Ancillary products include pay tables (display of payouts), bases, layouts, signage and other items as they relate to support of specific proprietary games in connection with the licensing of our games. Assembled components represent the cost of the equipment, devices and incorporated software used to support our Enhanced Table Systems. |
||||||||||||||
| Research and development |
Research and development. Research and development costs related primarily to software product development costs and is expensed as incurred until ready for its intended use. |
||||||||||||||
| Foreign currency translation |
Foreign currency translation. The functional currency for 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 loss in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Deficit. |
||||||||||||||
| Basic and diluted loss per share |
Basic and diluted loss per share. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding stock options, shares to be purchased under the employee stock purchase plan, and unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”). |
||||||||||||||
| Segment Information |
Segment information. Operating segments are defined as components of our enterprise for which separate financial information is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), CEO, Matthew Reback, to assess performance and make operational decisions. Currently, we have two revenue streams—land-based gaming and online gaming—that are aggregated into a reporting segment based on their similar economic characteristics, products, and distribution methods. The CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources based on consolidated net income (loss), which is the primary performance metric for the reporting segment. Additionally, the CODM reviews reporting segment revenue in conjunction with consolidated revenues, expenses, and net income (loss) to assess performance. The information provided by the new CFO in the monthly reporting package is the same information the CODM has received in the past. The accounting policies of the reporting segment are consistent with those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. As of fiscal year 2024, the Company is adopting new segment expense disclosure requirements under Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07. |
||||||||||||||
| Share-based compensation |
Stock-based compensation. We recognize compensation expense for all restricted stock and stock option awards made to employees, directors and independent contractors. The fair value of restricted stock is measured using the closing price of our stock on the business day immediately preceding the grant date. The fair value of stock option awards is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, and the portion that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as compensation cost over the requisite service period. We have elected to recognize compensation expense for all options with graded vesting on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the entire option. The determination of fair value using the Black-Scholes pricing model is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables, including expected stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected dividends and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. We estimate volatility based on historical volatility of our common stock, and estimate the expected term based on several criteria, including the vesting period of the grant and the term of the award. We estimate employee stock option exercise behavior based on actual historical exercise activity and assumptions regarding future exercise activity of unexercised, outstanding options. |
||||||||||||||
| Income taxes |
Income taxes. We are subject to income taxes in both the United States and in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions. We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. These temporary differences will result in deductible or taxable amounts in future years when the reported amounts of the assets or liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established when some or all of the Company's deferred tax assets do not meet the more-likely-than-not threshold of being realized. Adjustments to the valuation allowance increase or decrease our income tax provision or benefit. To the extent our analysis indicates that recovery is not more likely than not, we establish a valuation allowance against these deferred tax assets. Significant judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, we recorded a full valuation allowance against certain deferred assets. In the ordinary course of business, there are transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain. Additionally, our tax returns are subject to audit by various tax authorities. Although we believe that our estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from these estimates. We recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on an evaluation of the technical merits of the position, which requires a significant degree of judgment. |

| Recently issued accounting pronouncements |
Recently issued accounting pronouncements. In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, “Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” (“ASU 2023-07”), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. ASU 2023-07 provides for improved financial reporting by requiring disclosure of incremental segment information to enable investors to develop more decision-useful financial analyses. The Company has included the adoption of this new accounting guidance in its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures. See Note 13. Accounting Standard Update 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"). In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, which requires more detailed income tax disclosures. The guidance requires entities to disclose disaggregated information about their effective tax rate reconciliation as well as expanded information on income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The disclosure requirements will be applied on a prospective basis, with the option to apply them retrospectively. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adoption of this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures. Accounting Standard Update 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses ("ASU 2024-03"). In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, which requires public business entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adoption of this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures. We do not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flow. |
