Exhibit 99.1
For Immediate Release
FULL HOUSE RESORTS ANNOUNCES FAVORABLE COURT DECISION
Las Vegas — July 9, 2007 — Full House Resorts (AMEX: FLL) announced today a favorable court
decision in the last remaining lawsuit related to its casino development project with the
Nottawaseppi Huron Band of Potawatomi in the Battle Creek, Michigan area. A three judge panel of
the Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit rejected the final claim raised by CETAC, a small
anti-gaming group led by David Moore, and affirmed that the land taken into trust for the Tribe in
December 2006 is properly designated its initial reservation under federal law.
After eight years of litigation, the decision affirmed the ruling entered several years ago by
Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson of the United States District Court, who had already dismissed this
claim. The ruling today is a culmination of rulings over the years which have rejected each and
every one of the claims raised by CETAC in its effort to stall this development project which will
bring needed jobs to the area, both in construction and operations. Perhaps more importantly, this
project will assist this tribe in providing health care, housing, government services and jobs to
its people.
Andre M. Hilliou, Chief Executive Officer of Full House Resorts, said “I am gratified by the
decision of the court. We look forward to continuing our work with the Tribe to move this project
forward as quickly as possible and to opening a first-class facility which will provide the Tribe
and the community with a sustainable source of income from which the tribe can provide needed
governmental services as well as serve as an economic stimulus to the local community.”
