Current report
In July 2025, we agreed to an extension of our active sports wagering skin in Indiana through December 2031.
Current report
Extension of Contracted Sports Wagering Agreement in Indiana. In January 2025, we received notice that our contracted sports betting operator in Colorado and Indiana was discontinuing its operations in those states, to be effective in June 2025 and December 2025, respectively. In July 2025, such operator reversed its decision related to our Indiana sports skin, and fully prepaid its remaining term through December 2031 for a reduced fee totaling $1.5 million.
Current report
Casino expenses in the second quarter of 2025 increased by $1.4 million and $1.3 million at American Place and Chamonix, respectively, when compared to the second quarter of 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, casino expenses rose $3.0 million and $2.3 million, respectively, compared to the prior-year period.
Current report
Similarly, selling, general and administrative costs rose $0.7 million and $1.2 million at American Place and Chamonix, respectively, when comparing the second quarters of 2025 and 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, selling, general and administrative expenses rose $2.2 million and $3.5 million, respectively, compared to the same period in 2024. At American Place, increased costs for the current year-to-date period were mostly attributable to increased marketing efforts, as well as costs associated with increased operations. At Chamonix, the year-to-date increase was mostly attributable to its revamped marketing strategies and a fully-opened property beginning in October 2024.
Current report
Income Tax Expense.
Current report
On July 4, 2025, new U.S. tax legislation was signed into law (known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” or “OBBBA”), which makes permanent many of the tax provisions enacted in 2017, as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, that were set to expire at the end of 2025. In addition, the OBBBA makes changes to certain U.S. corporate tax provisions, but many are generally not effective until 2026. We are still in the process of evaluating the OBBBA, but we do not expect it to have a material impact on the results of our operations.

Current report
Total revenues declined by 4.4% (or $0.7 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2025, but rose by 6.8% (or $1.9 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2025. These results reflect revenue growth at Chamonix, as well as the sale of Stockman’s in April 2025.
Current report
Casino revenue declined by 6.9% (or $0.8 million) and 1.4% (or $0.3 million) for the respective three and six months ended June 30, 2025, reflecting the sale of Stockman’s at the beginning of the second quarter of 2025. Slot revenue declined by 11.4% (or $1.2 million) and 4.8% (or $1.0 million) for the respective three and six months ended June 30, 2025. Table games revenue rose by 45.7% (or $0.4 million) and 29.6% (or $0.7 million) for the respective three and six months ended June 30, 2025, attributable mostly to expanded table games operations at Chamonix/Bronco Billy’s.
Current report
Adjusted Segment EBITDA was $(1.1) million in the second quarter of 2025, a decline from $0.9 million in the prior-year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, Adjusted Segment EBITDA of $(3.6) million compares to $0.7 million in the prior-year period. Current-period results reflect the sale of Stockman’s, as well as early inefficiencies related to Chamonix’s new operations. In March 2025, we hired a new general manager to lead our Chamonix and Bronco Billy’s operations, with a focus on profitable revenue growth and reducing inefficiencies. Of note, when comparing the first and second quarters of 2025, operating expenses at Chamonix/Bronco Billy’s were $1.2 million lower despite flat revenues of $11.6 million.
Current report
Comparisons for both the three- and six-month periods were adversely affected by fewer active sports wagering skins in the 2025 periods. Accordingly, revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025 declined by $1.2 million, from $2.9 million in the prior-year period to $1.7 million, and Adjusted Segment EBITDA declined by $1.0 million, from $2.6 million to $1.6 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, revenues declined by $1.2 million, from $5.1 million in the prior-year period to $3.9 million, and Adjusted Segment EBITDA declined by $0.7 million, from $4.5 million to $3.8 million.
Current report
Long-term Obligation. As required for our gaming licensure at American Place, we continue to accrue for an interest-free “Reconciliation Payment” that will be due to the Illinois Gaming Board (“IGB”) over a long-term basis (see Note 9). We currently estimate that a total of $50.7 million will be due to the IGB over the course of six years, with the first annual payment of $8.5 million expected to be paid in 2026. Of the total amount, a discounted value of $42.2 million has been added to the valuation of our Illinois gaming license, while the remaining $8.5 million is expected to be expensed as imputed interest through the maturity of this obligation in February 2031.

Previous report
We had no other non-operating expense for each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
Previous report
Total revenues increased by 19.8% (or $2.6 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to the ramp-up of operations at Chamonix, which was designed to integrate with existing operations at Bronco Billy’s.
Previous report
Casino revenue rose by $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, reflecting contributions from Chamonix and improved operating conditions at Bronco Billy’s, which helped to offset declines at the segment’s other properties. Slot revenue accounted for over half of the increase, rising by $0.3 million (or 2.7%). Table games revenue rose by $0.2 million (or 18.4%) for the three months ended March 31, 2025, attributable mostly to our Colorado operations.
Previous report
Adjusted Segment EBITDA declined by $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to $(2.5) million from $(0.1) million in the prior-year period. Current-period results reflect early inefficiencies related to Chamonix’s new operations. Elevated expenses include the training of new employees and additional marketing costs expected to benefit future operations, as well as the cost of operating many amenities at the new resort. In March 2025, we hired a new general manager to lead our Chamonix and Bronco Billy’s operations.
Previous report
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, revenues remained relatively flat at $2.3 million, compared to the prior-year period. Adjusted Segment EBITDA was $2.2 million, a 12.7% increase from $1.9 million in the prior-year period. These results reflect a provision for credit losses on sports wagering receivables of $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2024. There was no such provision for the current-year period.
Previous report
We had two idle sports skins in each of Indiana and Colorado as of March 31, 2025. In January 2025, we received notice that our remaining contracted sports betting operator in Colorado and Indiana was discontinuing its operations in those states, to be effective in June 2025 and December 2025, respectively. There is no certainty that we will be able to enter into agreements with other third-party operators on similar terms or at all.

Our financial results are dependent upon the number of patrons that we attract to our properties and the amounts those guests spend per visit. While we provide credit at some of our casinos where permitted by gaming regulations, most of our revenues are cash-based, through customers wagering with cash or paying for non-gaming services with cash or credit cards. Our revenues are primarily derived from slot machines, but also include other gaming activities, including table games, keno and sports betting. In addition, we derive a significant amount of revenue from our hotels and our food and beverage outlets. We also derive revenues from our golf course and ferry boat service at Rising Star, our RV parks owned at Rising Star and managed at Silver Slipper, and retail outlets and entertainment. We often provide hotel rooms, food and beverages, entertainment, ferry usage, and golf privileges to customers on a complimentary basis; the value of such services is included as revenue in those categories, offset by contra-revenue in the casino revenue category. As a result, the casino revenues in our financial statements reflect patron gaming wins and losses, reduced by the retail value of complimentary services, the value of free play provided to customers, the value of points earned by casino customers that can be redeemed for services or free play, and adjustments for certain progressive jackpots offered by the Company.

We set minimum and maximum betting limits for our slot machines and table games based on market conditions, customer demand and other factors. Our gaming revenues are derived from a broad base of guests that includes both high- and low-stakes players. At Silver Slipper, our sports book operations are in partnership with a company specializing in race and sports betting. At Rising Star, Bronco Billy’s, and American Place, we have contracted with other companies to operate our online sports wagering skins under their own brands in exchange for a percentage of revenues, as defined, subject to annual minimum amounts; the same company that utilizes our online sports skin in Illinois also operates our on-site sports book at American Place. Our operating results may also be affected by, among other things, overall economic conditions affecting the disposable income of our guests, weather conditions affecting access to our properties, achieving and maintaining cost efficiencies, taxation and other regulatory changes, and competitive factors, including but not limited to, additions and improvements to the competitive supply of gaming facilities, as well as pandemics and similar widespread health emergencies.

Stockman’s Sale. On August 28, 2024, we entered into an agreement to sell the operating assets of Stockman’s for aggregate cash consideration of $9.2 million, plus certain working capital adjustments at closing. The asset sale was designed to be completed in two phases: the sale of Stockman’s real property for $7.0 million, which closed in the second half of 2024 at a $1.9 million gain; and the sale of certain remaining operating assets for $2.2 million (excluding working capital adjustments), which closed on April 1, 2025 at a $0.2 million loss. Accordingly, as of April 1, 2025, we no longer own or operate Stockman’s Casino.

Current wording
The following discussion is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Previous wording
**Revenues.**Consolidated total revenues increased by 7.3% (or $5.1 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the prior-year period. This was primarily due to the continued ramp-up of operations at our two newest properties, American Place and Chamonix.
Current wording
**Revenues.**Consolidated total revenues improved by 0.6% (or $0.5 million) and 3.9% (or $5.6 million) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the prior-year periods, despite completion of the sale of Stockman’s Casino in April 2025. This was primarily due to the continued ramp-up of operations at our two newest properties, American Place and Chamonix.
Previous wording
**Operating Expenses.**Consolidated operating expenses increased by 5.4% (or $3.8 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the prior-year period. These increases were primarily due to the ramp-up of operations mentioned above at American Place and Chamonix, which resulted in increased casino, food and beverage, hotel, and selling, general and administrative expenses. For American Place, these expenses included a $1.6 million increase in casino costs and a $1.5 million increase in selling, general and administrative costs for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the prior-year period. For Chamonix, these expenses included a $2.3 million increase in selling, general and administrative costs for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the prior-year period.
Current wording
**Operating Expenses.**Consolidated operating expenses increased by 4.0% (or $2.8 million) and by 4.7% (or $6.6 million) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the prior-year periods. These increases were primarily due to the ramp-up of operations mentioned above at American Place and Chamonix, which resulted in increased casino and selling, general and administrative expenses.
Previous wording
Compared to the prior-year period, net interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was relatively flat, primarily due to a combination of reductions in interest rates applied to the revolving credit facility, less capitalized interest due to the completion of Chamonix’s phased opening in October 2024, and reductions in interest income. Our cash balances during the 2025 period were lower, compared to the prior-year period, as we invested cash to complete construction of Chamonix.
Current wording
The decreases in net interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were primarily due to reductions in interest rates applied to the revolving credit facility, as well as a lower outstanding balance on such credit facility, than in the prior-year periods. Interest income also declined compared to the prior-year periods, as we maintained higher cash balances throughout much of 2024 to complete the construction of Chamonix.
Previous wording
Income Tax Expense. We recognized an income tax provision of $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the respective three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, which resulted in effective income tax rates of (2.2%) and (3.8%), respectively. The change in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to the Company’s projections for pre-tax book income in 2025, as well as changes in valuation allowances.
Current wording
We recognized an income tax benefit of $95,000 and an income tax provision of $0.1 million for the respective three and six months ended June 30, 2025, which resulted in effective income tax rates of 0.9% and (0.6%), respectively. For the respective three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized an income tax benefit of $79,000 and an income tax provision of $0.3 million, which resulted in effective income tax rates of 0.9% and (1.7%), respectively. The changes in the effective income tax rates were primarily due to the Company’s projections for pre-tax book income in 2025, changes in valuation allowances, and the release of deferred tax liabilities in connection with the sale of Stockman’s intangible assets.
Previous wording
We do not expect to pay any federal income taxes or receive any federal tax refunds related to our 2025 results. As we have incurred losses in prior periods, we anticipate any current-year taxable income will be offset by tax carryforwards from prior years. We continue to evaluate, on a quarterly basis, the ability to realize our deferred tax assets and the need for a valuation allowance. The valuation allowance, and the potential reversal of such allowance, have no bearing on the taxes actually paid by the Company.

Previous wording
Casino revenue increased by 7.7% (or $3.1 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Slot revenue increased by 6.6% (or $2.2 million), while table games revenue increased by 12.6% (or $1.0 million).
Current wording

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, slot revenue increased by 8.1% (or $5.6 million) and table games revenue rose by 4.5% (or $0.7 million).
Previous wording
Non-casino revenue declined by 4.3% (or $0.6 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to decreases in revenues at Silver Slipper. Food and beverage revenue declined by 4.0% (or $0.3 million) for the current-year period, while hotel revenue declined by 15.3% (or $0.3 million).
Current wording
Non-casino revenue declined by 6.1% (or $0.8 million) and 5.2% (or $1.4 million) for the respective three and six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to decreases at Silver Slipper. Food and beverage revenue declined by 6.2% (or $0.5 million) and 5.1% (or $0.9 million) for the respective three and six months ended June 30, 2025, while hotel revenue declined by 13.1% (or $0.3 million) and 14.2% (or $0.6 million) for the corresponding periods during the year.
Previous wording
Adjusted Segment EBITDA rose by 3.4% (or $0.4 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2025, reflecting the benefit of the revenue increases mentioned above, as well as a new leadership team at Silver Slipper and its focus on reducing operational expenses. Partially offsetting these improvements were an increase in overall advertising activity, including production costs for new advertisements, additional labor costs related to expanded food options, and a higher gaming tax rate due to higher casino revenues, all at American Place.
Current wording
Adjusted Segment EBITDA rose by 3.9% (or $0.5 million) and 3.6% (or $0.9 million) for the respective three and six months ended June 30, 2025, benefiting from revenue growth at American Place as mentioned above, as well as a new leadership team at Silver Slipper and its focus on reducing operational expenses. Partially offsetting these improvements were an increase in overall advertising activity, additional labor costs related to expanded food options, and a higher average gaming tax rate due to higher casino revenues, all at American Place.
Previous wording
Our West segment includes Bronco Billy’s, Chamonix, Grand Lodge, and Stockman’s, the sale of which was completed on April 1, 2025 (see Note 3). The market in Cripple Creek, Colorado, is typically seasonal, favoring the summer months. Our Nevada operations have historically been seasonal, with the summer months accounting for a disproportionate share of annual revenues. Additionally, snowfall levels during the winter months can often affect operations, as Grand Lodge is located near several major ski resorts. While Grand Lodge typically benefits from a “good” snow year, resulting in extended periods of operation at the nearby ski areas, excessive snow levels can also result in challenging driving conditions or the closure of roads leading to the property.

Non-casino revenue increased by 91.8% (or $2.1 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Food and beverage revenue increased by $0.6 million and hotel revenue rose by $1.3 million for the 2025 period, largely due to Chamonix’s phased opening through October 2024 and its continuing ramp-up of operations. Guest volume increases from Chamonix’s new hotel also benefited food and beverage venues throughout Chamonix and Bronco Billy’s.

Hotel revenue rose by 15.8% (or $0.3 million) and 63.1% (or $1.6 million) for the corresponding 2025 periods, largely due to the completion of Chamonix’s phased opening in October 2024 and its continuing ramp-up of operations.

Previous wording
Corporate expenses for the respective three months ended March 31, 2025 declined by 35.8% (or $0.7 million), compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to decreases in accrued bonus compensation and certain third-party professional services fees.

At March 31, 2025, we had $30.7 million of cash and equivalents. Over the last several years, we invested in two large construction projects that are now open to the public: the temporary facility at American Place, which opened in February 2023, and Chamonix, which opened in phases between December 2023 and October 2024. Such construction activity is now complete and their operations are in their ramp-up periods. We estimate that between $10 million and $15 million of cash is used in our day-to-day operations, including on-site cash in our slot machines, change and redemption kiosks, and cages. We believe that current cash balances, together with the available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility and cash flows from operating activities, will be sufficient to meet our liquidity and capital resource needs for the next 12 months of operations.

At June 30, 2025, we had $32.1 million of cash and equivalents. Over the past several years, we invested in two new casinos (one of which has a hotel) that are now open to the public: the temporary facility at American Place, which opened in February 2023, and Chamonix, which opened in phases between December 2023 and October 2024. Such construction activity is now complete and their operations are in their ramp-up periods.

**Cash flows – operating activities.**On a consolidated basis, cash used in operations during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $9.5 million, compared to cash used in operations of $4.4 million in the prior-year period. Trends in our operating cash flows tend to follow trends in operating income, excluding non-cash charges, but are also affected by changes in working capital. During the current period, we benefited from strong performance at American Place, as well as operational improvements at Silver Slipper. Early inefficiencies related to Chamonix’s phased opening adversely affected cash flows from operating activities in both periods.
Current wording
**Cash flows – operating activities.**On a consolidated basis, cash used in operations during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $1.6 million, compared to cash provided by operations of $5.7 million in the prior-year period. Trends in our operating cash flows tend to follow trends in operating income, excluding non-cash charges, but are also affected by changes in working capital.

American Place. We were selected by the IGB to develop and operate American Place in Waukegan, Illinois. While the larger permanent facility is under development, we are operating the temporary American Place facility, which opened in February 2023. We expect to internally generate a portion of the needed funds to complete American Place, but we will likely need additional financing. While there is no certainty that we will be able to do so, we intend to arrange such additional funding through the refinancing of our existing debt. Such debt is currently callable and otherwise scheduled to mature in February 2028.
