1. ORGANIZATION

Formed as a Delaware corporation in 1987, Full House Resorts, Inc. owns, leases, operates, develops, manages, and/or invests in casinos and related hospitality and entertainment facilities. References in this document to “Full House,” the ”Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us” refer to Full House Resorts, Inc. and its subsidiaries, except where stated or the context otherwise indicates.

The Company currently operates seven casinos: six on real estate that we own or lease and one located within a hotel owned by a third party. In December 2023, we began the phased opening of our newest property, Chamonix Casino Hotel (“Chamonix”), located adjacent to our existing Bronco Billy’s Casino and Hotel in Cripple Creek, Colorado. We are currently designing our permanent American Place casino destination, which will be built adjacent to a temporary facility that we opened in February 2023. We are currently permitted to operate the temporary American Place facility until August 2027. Additionally, we benefit from seven permitted sports wagering “skins” – three in Colorado, three in Indiana, and one in Illinois. Other companies currently operate the active online sports wagering websites under their brands, paying us a percentage of revenues, as defined, subject to annual minimum amounts. Regarding our remaining idle skins, we continue to evaluate whether to operate our remaining idle skins ourselves or to have other third parties operate them. However, there is no certainty that we will be able to enter into agreements with replacement operators or successfully operate the skins ourselves.

Starting in the first quarter of 2023, the Company updated its reportable segments to Midwest & South, West, and Contracted Sports Wagering. This change reflects a realignment within the Company as a result of our continued growth. See Note 11 for additional information about the Company’s segments, which are based primarily on geographic regions within the United States and type of income.
