Item 4.01 Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant
On March 14, 2025, the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Full House Resorts, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the engagement of Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”) as the new independent registered public accounting firm to perform independent audit services for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, effective immediately. Also, on March 14, 2025, the Audit Committee approved the termination of the Company’s engagement of Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, which was then serving in such capacity, and notified Deloitte that it would be dismissed as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company, effective as of such date.
Deloitte’s audit report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 and through March 14, 2025, there were (i) no “disagreements” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) between the Company and Deloitte on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte, would have caused Deloitte to make reference to the subject matter thereof in connection with its reports on the consolidated financial statements of the Company for such years, and (ii) no “reportable events” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
The Company provided Deloitte with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that Deloitte provide the Company with a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not Deloitte agrees with the disclosure contained herein, as specified by Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K. A copy of Deloitte’s letter is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 and through March 14, 2025, neither the Company, nor any person acting on its behalf, consulted EY with respect to either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, (ii) the type of the audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to the Company by EY that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (iii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a reportable event (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
