Full House Resorts Announces Favorable Arbitration Decision

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Full House Resorts (NYSE Amex US: FLL) announced today a favorable decision in the arbitration proceeding initiated against it by Harrington Raceway, Inc. ("HRI").

The arbitration hearing was held in February of this year and the ruling was issued yesterday denying the claim, holding that HRI was not entitled to any credit or refund and that the minimum annual guaranteed management fee payable to Full House had been properly computed.

The term of the Management Agreement is through August of 2011 and Full House expects to continue to receive at least the 5% minimum annual increase in fees as set forth in the agreement.
