FULL HOUSE RESORTS ANNOUNCES RESTRUCTURING OF MIDWAY SLOTS AGREEMENT
Las Vegas — June 19, 2007 — Full House Resorts (AMEX: FLL) announced today the restructuring of its management contract at Midway Slots and Simulcast in Harrington, Delaware. Full House has agreed with Harrington Raceway, Inc., the owner of the property and an equal partner with Full House in the management company, to allow Harrington Raceway greater flexibility and control in the management of the facility while providing Full House with guaranteed growth in its share of the management fee for the remaining term of the management contract, which expires in August 2011.
Full House Resorts will continue to receive management fees as currently prescribed under the management agreement, with a minimum guaranteed growth factor of 5% per year over the previous year, with 2006 as the base year. However, the minimum guaranteed growth factor in 2008 will be 8% to account for the opening of the facility expansion currently underway.
Andre M. Hilliou, Chief Executive Officer of Full House Resorts, said: “This is part of the natural progression in management agreements where the owner has operating expertise in other fields and plays an active role in the strategic direction of the property. This agreement will provide us with a guaranteed growth rate in fees over the remaining term of the management agreement, thus insulating the Company from potential competitive pressures in and around Delaware. But perhaps more importantly, our management team will be able to focus more on substantial new growth opportunities such as the Huron Michigan project which may break ground later this year and additional acquisition opportunities. We appreciate the great relationship we have enjoyed with our partners at Harrington Raceway and look forward to continued success at the Midway Slots and Simulcast facility.”
Eugene H. Bayard, Chairman of Harrington Raceway, said: “We are truly grateful to Full House and its previous partner for the development and funding of our facility and for their management to date, which has made this a first class gaming operation. However, now is the time for Harrington Raceway to begin managing our business and we believe this agreement serves the interests of all parties.”
