RE:
Full House Resorts, Inc. (the “Company”)
Registration Statement on Form S-3
Filed August 15, 2016
File No. 333-213123

Dear Mr. Kluck:
 
In response to your letter to Lewis A. Fanger dated September 6, 2016, and on behalf of the Company, in connection with filing the Registration Statement on Form S-3 we provide the following responses to the comments contained in your letter.

Registration Statement on Form S-3

General

1.
We note your disclosure that you are distributing non-transferable subscription rights to purchase shares of common stock. Please tell us how you are eligible to use Form S-3 for this transaction. Specifically, please tell us how you comply with the “outstanding” condition of Instruction I.B.4(a)(1) of Form S-3. Please refer to Securities Act Form Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation Question 116.20.

The Company is not relying on Transaction Requirement Instruction I.B.4(a)(1). The Company is relying on Instruction I.B.6. Instruction I.B.6 allows limited primary offerings using Form S-3 when:

(a) the aggregate market value of securities sold by or on behalf of the registrant pursuant to this Instruction I.B.6. during the period of 12 calendar months immediately prior to, and including, the sale is no more than one-third of the aggregate market value of the voting and non-voting common equity held by non-affiliates of the registrant

The Company did not sell, nor did anyone on behalf of the Company sell, any securities during the 12 calendar months immediately prior to this sale. The Company had 19,018,809 shares of voting and non-voting common equity outstanding on the filing date, of which 5,557,494 are held by affiliates of the Company, leaving 13,461,315 unaffiliated shares outstanding. Based on the closing price of $1.94 on August 12, 2016, the aggregate market value of voting and non-voting common equity held by non-affiliates of the Company was $26,114,951.10. The aggregate market value of the shares registered on the registration statement is $5,000,000.20 (3,846,154 shares at a price of $1.30), which is 19.15% of

$26,114,951.10. Therefore, the aggregate market value of this sale is less than one-third of the aggregate market value of voting and non-voting common equity held by non-affiliates of the registrant on the filing date.

(b) the registrant is not a shell company (as defined in §230.405 of this chapter) and has not been a shell company for at least 12 calendar months previously and if it has been a shell company at any time previously, has filed current Form 10 information with the Commission at least 12 calendar months previously reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company; and

The Company is not a shell company and has not been a shell company for at least 12 calendar months previously.

(c) the registrant has at least one class of common equity securities listed and registered on a national exchange

The Company’s common stock is listed and registered on a national securities exchange.

Therefore, the Company satisfies Transaction Requirement Instruction I.B.6.
