- BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
**Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies.**As permitted by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2024 annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 as they contain descriptions of its significant accounting policies. Certain amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the prior year have been reclassified to be consistent with the current year presentation, which changes had no effect on the previously reported results of operations or financial position.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company included herein reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annualized results for an entire year.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Full House and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Stock-based Compensation. Estimated compensation costs for performance stock reflect meeting certain growth-rate targets and may be subject to partial or full reversals in the current or following year if not completely met at year-end. In the first quarter of 2025, the Company’s compensation committee determined that certain performance criteria for 2024 were not satisfied. As a result, stock-based compensation costs of $0.8 million that were previously recognized in 2024 were reversed. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, stock-based compensation was $0.6 million, compared to $0.7 million in the prior-year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, stock-based compensation was $0.4 million, compared to $1.4 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to the reversal described above.
Stockholders’ Equity. On April 1, 2025, the Company’s Board adopted the Full House Resorts, Inc. 2025 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2025 Plan”), which was approved by stockholders at the Company’s 2025 Annual Meeting and made effective as of May 15, 2025. To maintain flexibility in the Company’s compensation program, the 2025 Plan allows for a variety of award types, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, dividend equivalents and performance-based compensation. The 2025 Plan includes 2,300,000 new shares and serves as the successor to the Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (“the 2015 Plan”), which was terminated upon the adoption of the 2025 Plan, except with respect to awards previously granted under the 2015 Plan that remain outstanding.
Accounting Pronouncements:
ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes, Topic 740, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“Update 2023-09”). In December 2023, the FASB issued Update 2023-09 to improve income tax disclosure requirements, primarily related to rate reconciliations and income taxes paid. Update 2023-09 is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of Update 2023-09 to the consolidated financial statements, and plans to adopt Update 2023-09 for its annual period ending December 31, 2025.
ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, Subtopic 220-40, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“Update 2024-03”).* *In November 2024, the FASB issued Update 2024-03, which expands disclosures about specific expense categories presented on the face of the income statement. Update 2024-03 is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of Update 2024-03 to the consolidated financial statements.
A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently being studied by standard-setting organizations and certain regulatory agencies. Because of the tentative and preliminary nature of such proposed standards, the Company believes that there are no other recently-issued accounting standards not yet effective that are currently likely to have a material impact on its financial statements.
- RECEIVABLES, NET
**Accounts Receivable and Credit Risk.**Accounts receivable consist primarily of casino, hotel, certain sports wagering contracts that paid us in arrears until mid-2024, and other receivables. Accounts receivable are typically non-interest bearing, recorded initially at cost, and are carried net of an appropriate reserve to approximate fair value. Loss reserves are estimated based on specific review of customer accounts including the customers’ willingness and ability to pay and nature of collateral, if any, as well as historical collection experience and current and expected economic and business conditions. Accounts are written off when management deems the account to be uncollectible and recoveries of accounts previously written off are recorded when received.
Accounts receivable consists of the following:
| | | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| (In thousands) · · June 30, · · December 31, | ||||||
| · · 2025 · 2024 | ||||||
| Casino | | $349 | | $653 | ||

The following table shows the movement in the provision for credit losses recognized for accounts receivable that occurred during the respective periods:
| | | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| Write-offs | | | (9) | | | (145) |
| Balance at June 30 | | $162 | | $1,582 | ||
| (1) | Estimated loss reserves for the 2024 period included a provision totaling $500,000 for two online sports wagering agreements. |
Management regularly evaluates the adequacy of the Company’s recorded reserves. At June 30, 2025, we believe that no significant concentrations of credit risk existed for which a reserve had not already been recorded.
- DISPOSITION
On August 28, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with a third party to sell Stockman’s for total gross proceeds of $9.2 million, plus certain working capital adjustments at closing. The sale was completed in two phases: the sale of Stockman’s real property for $7.0 million, which closed on September 27, 2024 at a $1.9 million gain; and the sale of certain remaining operating assets and related liabilities for $2.2 million (excluding working capital adjustments), which closed on April 1, 2025 at a $0.2 million loss for the six months ended June 30, 2025, reflecting transaction costs incurred to date through June 30, 2025 (and subject to working capital adjustments that have not been finalized). Accordingly, as of April 1, 2025, the Company no longer owns or operates Stockman’s Casino. The disposition of Stockman’s is not expected to have a major effect on the Company’s operations or financial results.
The carrying amounts of Stockman’s assets and liabilities held for sale, as of the most recent balance sheet date preceding the sale on April 1, 2025, were:

- LEASES
The Company hasno material leases in which it is the lessor. As lessee, the Company has finance leases for a hotel and certain equipment, as well as operating leases for land, casino and office space, equipment, and buildings. The Company’s remaining material lease terms, including extensions, range from greater thanone year to approximately 97 years. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants, but the land leases at Silver Slipper and American Place do include contingent rent, as further discussed below.
Operating Leases
Waukegan Ground Lease through February 2122 and Option to Purchase. In January 2023, the Company’s subsidiary, FHR-Illinois, LLC, entered into a 99-year ground lease (the “Ground Lease”) for approximately 32 acres of land (the ”City-Owned Parcel”) with the City of Waukegan in Illinois (the “City”). The ground lease commenced concurrently with the opening of American Place on February 17, 2023. The City-Owned Parcel and an adjacent 10-acre parcel owned by the Company comprise the location of American Place, including its temporary facility. Annual rent under the Ground Lease is the greater of (i) $3.0 million, or (ii)2.5% of gross gaming revenue (as defined in the lease) generated by American Place.
The Company has the right to purchase the City-Owned Parcel at any time during the term of the Ground Lease for $30 million. If it does so prior to the opening of the permanent American Place facility, then it must continue to pay rent due to the City under the Ground Lease until the permanent casino is open.
**Silver Slipper Casino Land Lease through April 2058 and Option to Purchase.**In 2004, the Company’s subsidiary, Silver Slipper Casino Venture, LLC, entered into a land lease for approximately 31 acres of marshlands and aseven-acre parcel on which the Silver Slipper Casino and Hotel is situated. Annual minimum rent is $0.9 million throughout the lease term until 2058, plus contingent rents of 3% of gross gaming revenue (as defined in the lease) in excess of $3.65 million per month.
Through October 1, 2027, the Company may buy out the lease for $15.5 million, plus a seller-retained interest in Silver Slipper’s operations of 3% of net income (as defined) for 10 years following the purchase date.
Bronco Billy’s / Chamonix Lease through January 2035 and Option to Purchase. The Company’s subsidiary, FHR-Colorado LLC, leases certain parcels, including a portion of the hotel and casino, under a long-term lease. The lease term includessix renewal options inthree-year increments to 2035. The Company exercised its fourth renewal option to extend the lease term through January 2029, with current annual lease payments of $0.4 million. Annual minimum rent will increase to $0.5 million starting in February 2026, with adjustments on each anniversary thereafter based on the consumer price index. The lease contains a $7.6 million purchase option exercisable at any time during the lease term, or as extended, and a right of first refusal on any sale of the property.
The Company’s related ROU asset and liability balances on its balance sheet factor in all renewal terms through January 2035, as the Company is deemed likely to exercise each renewal unless it exercises its purchase buyout right.
**Grand Lodge Casino Lease through December 2034.**The Company’s subsidiary, Gaming Entertainment (Nevada), LLC, has a lease (the “Hyatt Lease”) with Incline Hotel, LLC, the owner of the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort (“Hyatt Lake Tahoe”), to operate Grand Lodge. It is collateralized by the Company’s interests under the lease and property (as defined in the lease) and is subordinate to the liens of the Notes (see Note 6). The lessor has an option to purchase the Company’s leasehold interest and related operating assets of Grand Lodge at any time prior to lease expiration, subject to payment of certain amounts. The option price is an amount equal to Grand Lodge’s positive working capital, plus Grand Lodge’s earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) for the 12-month period preceding the acquisition (or pro-rated if less than 12 months remain on the lease), plus the fair market value of Grand Lodge’s personal property.
In July 2024, the lease was further amended to extend the term through December 31, 2034. Solely for a significant renovation of the property, the amended lease also permits the lessor to terminate the lease early by providing six months’ notice, with the Company retaining Grand Lodge’s personal property at the end of such period. In January 2025, the annual rent increased nominally from $2.00 million to $2.01 million, and will subsequently increase by 2% annually for the remainder of the extended term. Except as set forth in the amendment, all other terms of the Hyatt Lease remain in full force and effect. Accordingly, the Company remeasured this lease’s related ROU asset and liability balances upon the effective date of this amendment.
**Corporate Office Lease through April 2030.**The Company leases 4,479 square feet of office space in Las Vegas, Nevada. In September 2024, the Company entered into an amendment with the landlord to extend the lease through April 30, 2030. The prior annual rent of $0.20 million declined in February 2025 to $0.17 million, will increase in February 2026 to $0.23 million, and then increase 3% annually on each anniversary for the remainder of the extended term. The amended lease also includes one renewal at the Company’s option forfive years with rent to be determined at the fair market rate. Accordingly, the Company remeasured this lease’s related ROU asset and liability balances upon the effective date of this amendment.
**Stockman’s Sale-Leaseback.**In connection with the sale of Stockman’s real estate that closed on September 27, 2024, the Company’s subsidiary, Stockman’s Casino, Inc., entered into a short-term lease for use of the facilities with monthly rent of $50,000. Such leaseback terminated upon the second closing of the Stockman’s sale on April 1, 2025. See Note 4 for details.
Finance Lease
**Rising Star Casino Hotel Lease through October 2027 and Option to Purchase.**The Company’s Indiana subsidiary, Gaming Entertainment (Indiana) LLC, leases a 104-guestroom hotel at Rising Star Casino Resort. At any time during the lease term, the Company has the option to purchase the hotel, and approximately 3.01 acres of land on which it resides, at a price based upon the hotel’s original cost of $7.7 million, reduced by the cumulative principal payments made by the Company during the lease term. At June 30, 2025, such potential purchase price was $1.4 million. Upon expiration of the lease term in October 2027, (i) the landlord has the right to sell the hotel to the Company, and (ii) the Company has the option to purchase the hotel. In either case, the purchase price is $1 plus closing costs.

**Senior Secured****Notes due 2028.**On February 12, 2021, the Company issued $310.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) to refinance all of its prior notes and repurchase all of its outstanding warrants. Additionally, $180 million of bond proceeds were initially placed into a construction reserve account to fund the construction of Chamonix, which was later increased to $221 million in January 2022 to reflect an expansion of the project. Such construction reserve account was effectively closed during the fourth quarter of 2024, as Chamonix’s phased opening was completed in October 2024.
On February 7, 2022, the Company closed a private offering for an additional $100.0 million of Senior Secured Notes due 2028, which sold at a price of 102.0% of such principal amount. Proceeds from this sale were used: (i) to develop, equip and open the temporary American Place facility, which the Company intends to operate while it designs and constructs its permanent facility, (ii) to pay the transaction fees and expenses of such offer and sale, and (iii) for general corporate purposes. The additional notes from this sale were issued pursuant to the indenture, dated February 12, 2021 (the “Original Indenture”), to which the Company issued the $310.0 million of 2028 Notes described above. In connection with the issuance of the additional notes in February 2022, the Company and the subsidiary guarantors party to the Original Indenture also entered into three Supplemental Indentures with Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee.
On February 21, 2023, the Company issued an additional $40.0 million of senior secured notes (the “Additional Notes”), thereby increasing the outstanding borrowing under the 2028 Notes to $450.0 million (collectively, the “Notes”). Related to the issuance of the Additional Notes, the Company further amended the indenture governing the Notes (collectively, the “Amended Indenture”) and amended its revolving credit facility. Proceeds from the offering of the Additional Notes, net of related expenses and discounts, were approximately $34 million and were used: (i) to open American Place, including the payment of related Illinois gaming license fees in March 2023, and (ii) for general corporate purposes. The Additional Notes are essentially identical to the 2028 Notes, as they are treated as a single series of senior secured debt securities with the 2028 Notes and also as a single class for all purposes under the Amended Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase.
The Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 8.25% per year and mature on February 15, 2028. There is no mandatory debt amortization prior to the maturity date. Interest on the Notes is payable on February 15 and August 15 of each year.
The Notes are guaranteed, jointly and severally (such guarantees, the “Guarantees”), by each of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”). The Notes and the Guarantees are the Company’s and the Guarantors’ general senior secured obligations, subject to the terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement (as defined in the Amended Indenture), ranking senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ existing and future debt that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and the Guarantees, if any. The Notes and the Guarantees will rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ existing and future senior debt.
The Notes contain representations and warranties, covenants, and restrictions on dividends customary for notes of this type. Mandatory prepayments, in whole or in part, of the Notes will be required upon the occurrence of certain events, including sales of certain assets (unless such net proceeds are reinvested in the business) or upon certain changes of control.
The Company may redeem some or all of the Notes for cash at the following redemption prices:
| · · · | ||
|---|---|---|
| Redemption Periods | Percentage Premium | |
| February 15, 2025 to February 14, 2026 | 102.063% | |
| February 15, 2026 and Thereafter | | 100.000% |
Revolving Credit Facility due 2027. On February 7, 2022, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement with Capital One, N.A. (“Capital One”), which, among other things, increased the borrowing capacity under the Company’s Credit Agreement, dated March 31, 2021, from $15.0 million to $40.0 million. The amended $40.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility includes a letter of credit sub-facility and may be used for working capital and other ongoing general purposes.
On February 21, 2023, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to Credit Agreement with Capital One, which, among other things, increased the amount of additional indebtedness permitted under the Company’s Credit Agreement from $25.0 million to $40.0 million (collectively, the “Credit Facility”). Such amendment permitted the issuance of the Additional Notes, as described above.
On March 5, 2025, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to Credit Agreement with Capital One, which extended the revolving credit facility’s maturity date from March 31, 2026 to January 1, 2027.
The interest rate per annum applicable to loans under the Credit Facility is currently, at the Company’s option, either (i) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a margin equal to 3.00% and a Term SOFR adjustment of 0.15%, or (ii) a base rate plus a margin equal to 2.00%. Terms regarding the annual commitment fee and customary letter of credit fees remain unchanged from the original Credit Agreement, dated March 31, 2021.
The Credit Facility is equally and ratably secured by the same assets and guarantees securing the Notes. The Company may make prepayments of any amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility (without any reduction of the revolving commitments) in whole or in part at any time without penalty.
The Credit Facility contains a number of negative covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, are substantially similar to the covenants contained in the Notes. The Credit Facility also requires compliance with a financial covenant as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, such that Adjusted EBITDA (as defined) for the trailing 12-month period must equal or exceed the utilized portion of the Credit Facility, if drawn. At June 30, 2025, the Company complied with this financial covenant and $25.0 million of borrowings were outstanding under the Credit Facility.
Fair Value of Long-Term Debt. The estimated fair value of the Notes was approximately $436.9 million at June 30, 2025 and $447.5 million at December 31, 2024, which values were estimated using quoted market prices (Level 1 inputs). The fair value of the Credit Facility approximates its carrying amount, as it is revolving, variable rate debt, and is classified as a Level 2 measurement.
- CUSTOMER CONTRACT LIABILITIES
There is often a timing difference between the Company receiving cash and the Company recording revenue for providing services or hosting events. With the exception of noncurrent portions of deferred revenues from contracted sports wagering, these liabilities are generally expected to be recognized as revenue within one year of being purchased, earned, or deposited and are recorded within “Other accrued liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheets.
The following table summarizes the primary activities related to short- and long-term customer contract related liabilities:

- INCOME TAXES
The Company’s effective income tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were 0.9% and (0.6%), respectively, compared to effective income tax rates of 0.9% and (1.7%) for the corresponding prior-year periods. 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. The Company’s income tax provision or benefit for interim periods has been determined using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items.
The Company continues to assess the realizability of deferred tax assets (“DTAs”) and concluded that it has not met the “more likely than not” threshold. At June 30, 2025, the Company continues to provide a valuation allowance against its DTAs that cannot be offset by existing deferred tax liabilities. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 740 (“ASC 740”), this assessment has taken into consideration the jurisdictions in which these DTAs reside. The valuation allowance against DTAs has no effect on the actual taxes paid or owed by the Company.
Changes in tax laws, rulings, policies, or related legal and regulatory interpretations occur frequently and may have significant favorable or adverse impacts on our effective tax rate.
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. The Company is still in the process of evaluating the OBBBA and an estimate of the financial impact cannot be made at this time. However, management does not expect it to have a material impact on the results of operations.
- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
The Company is party to a number of pending legal proceedings related to matters that occurred in the normal course of business. Management does not expect that the outcome of any such proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Contingent Gaming License Fees in Illinois
As required for its gaming licensure at American Place, the Company continues to accrue for a “Reconciliation Payment” that will be due to the Illinois Gaming Board (“IGB”) over a long-term basis. The Reconciliation Payment is calculated in February 2026 (three years after the commencement of gaming operations in Illinois) in an amount equal to 75% of the adjusted gross receipts for the most lucrative trailing 12 month period of operations, offset by certain licensing fees already paid by the Company. The Reconciliation Payment is due in annual installments over a period ofsix years, expected to begin in 2026.
The estimated present value of the long-term obligation for the Company’s gaming license in Illinois consisted of the following as discussed above, with a corresponding increase to the Illinois gaming license valuation:

| Present value of IGB Reconciliation Fee(3) | | $42,219 | | $34,866 | ||
| (1) | Calculated based upon gaming revenues generated during the trailing 12-months of the corresponding dates. This one-time fee will be paid in six annual installments that are expected to begin in February 2026. |
| (2) | The effective interest rate of the Revolving Credit Facility (see Note 6) is used to impute interest on this long-term obligation and its corresponding increase to the Illinois gaming license valuation, which approximates their fair values. |
| (3) | The current and noncurrent balances are located respectively within “Other accrued liabilities” and “Other long-term liabilities, net of current portion” on the consolidated balance sheets. |

- SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company manages its reporting segments based on geographic regions within the United States and type of income. The Company’s management views the regions where each of its casino resorts are located as reportable segments, in addition to its contracted sports wagering segment. Reportable segments are aggregated based on geography, economic characteristics, types of customers, types of services and products provided, the regulatory environments in which they operate, and their management and reporting structure. Therefore, the Company has determined three reportable segments as follows: Midwest & South, West, and Contracted Sports Wagering (see Note 1).
The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the chief executive officer.
The Company’s CODM assesses the performance of each segment by using Adjusted Segment EBITDA as the measure of segment profitability. Adjusted Segment EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest and other non-operating income (expense), taxes, depreciation and amortization, preopening expenses, impairment charges, asset write-offs, recoveries, gain (loss) from asset sales and disposals, project development and acquisition costs, non-cash share-based compensation expense, and corporate-related costs and expenses that are not allocated to each segment.
The Company’s CODM uses Adjusted Segment EBITDA for each segment predominantly in the annual budget and forecasting process. The CODM considers budget-to-actual variances and period-over-period fluctuations when making decisions about the allocation of operating and capital resources to each segment, as well as a basis for determining certain incentive compensation.
