- Chamonix Casino Hotel in Cripple Creek, Colorado, has Topped Off and is Anticipated to Open in Mid-2023
- Management is Confident that its Existing Cash On-Hand, Undrawn Credit Facility, and Other Existing Resources are Sufficient to Complete Both The Temporary and Chamonix
LAS VEGAS, Nov. 07, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Full House Resorts, Inc. (Nasdaq: FLL) today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022, including a construction update for its two major new casinos.
“We continue to make progress on our two new casinos, with the first of them on the verge of opening,” said Daniel R. Lee, President and Chief Executive Officer of Full House Resorts. “In Waukegan, Illinois, we are installing décor and are preparing for the installation of slot machines this week. We expect to have our entire slot floor installed and ready for testing before the end of November. The testing of the slot machines, surveillance systems and other technology is a complicated process. Imagine connecting 1,000 slot machines, from several different manufacturers, through many miles of low-voltage wiring to central servers — and ensuring that every machine operates flawlessly. This process usually takes several weeks and is the principal uncertainty in our opening date. Our hiring process is ramping up, with approximately 400 outstanding offers already made. As with all new casino openings, we have an extensive checklist to complete prior to welcoming our first customers. Therefore, while the Company expects to open the casino within the next three months, the precise opening date is still uncertain. When The Temporary opens, it will be the only casino in Lake County, Illinois, which has a population of approximately 700,000 and ranks as one of the wealthiest counties in the U.S.
“At our Chamonix project in Cripple Creek, Colorado, construction reached its ‘topping off’ milestone back in September,” continued Mr. Lee. “Chamonix’s construction continues at a meaningful pace, with glass now being installed on the façade and drywall within the building. When complete, Chamonix will be one of the larger casino hotels in Colorado and the largest and most luxurious casino hotel in Cripple Creek, which is the primary casino destination for the Colorado Springs market. Cripple Creek is approximately one hour from the roughly one million people who live in the Colorado Springs metropolitan area and two hours from the approximately four million people who reside in the Denver area.”

“Our anticipated investments in both of these growth projects remain within budgets,” added Lewis Fanger, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. “Importantly in these difficult capital markets, we remain confident that our cash balances, cash flows from operations, and credit line availability will be sufficient to complete both The Temporary and Chamonix. At September 30, 2022, we had $241.8 million of cash, including $156.1 million of cash that is reserved for the completion of Chamonix. We also have a $40 million credit facility, which remains undrawn.”
On a consolidated basis, revenues in the third quarter of 2022 were $41.4 million, a decrease from $47.2 million in the prior-year period. Net loss for the third quarter of 2022 was $3.6 million, or a loss of $0.10 per diluted common share, which includes $2.4 million of preopening and development costs. In the prior-year period, net income was $4.6 million, or $0.13 per diluted common share, including $335,000 of preopening and development costs. Adjusted EBITDA(a) in the 2022 third quarter was $7.8 million versus $13.6 million in the prior-year period. The change reflects timing differences for Rising Star’s $2.1 million sale of “free play” (which occurred in the third quarter of the prior year, but in the second quarter of 2022); the wide distribution of government stimulus checks in the prior year; construction disruptions at Bronco Billy’s; the launch of competing online sports wagering in Louisiana; and increases in certain expenses, notably for property insurance and food costs.
Third Quarter Highlights and Subsequent Events
- Mississippi. Silver Slipper Casino and Hotel’s revenues were $20.0 million in the third quarter of 2022, versus $21.5 million in the prior-year period. The prior-year period was one of the best quarters in the property’s history, having benefited from the distribution of government stimulus checks, and thus making for a difficult comparison. The revenue decline also reflects the competitive launch of online sports wagering within nearby Louisiana that started in January 2022, with the property’s on-site sports wagering revenues declining by $0.3 million in the third quarter of 2022. Adjusted Segment EBITDA was $4.2 million, reflecting the revenue declines noted above, as well as an increase in operating expenses, including increases of $0.5 million each for property insurance and food costs. Management believes that its property insurance costs relative to income will be lower in future years, as the Company’s diversity improves and it becomes less reliant on the Silver Slipper. Adjusted Segment EBITDA was $6.5 million in the prior-year period.
- Indiana. Rising Star Casino Resort’s revenues were $9.6 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $12.6 million in the third quarter of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to the timing of Rising Star’s annual sale of “free play,” which resulted in $2.1 million of revenue and income in the prior-year’s third quarter. This year, Rising Star sold its “free play,” also for $2.1 million, during the second quarter. As with the Company’s other casinos, Rising Star benefited from the distribution of government stimulus checks in the prior-year period. Additionally, a competitor with “historical racing machines” (which are a form of slot machine) opened in September 2022. Adjusted Segment EBITDA was $1.3 million in the third quarter of 2022. For the prior-year period, which included the $2.1 million sale of free play noted above, Adjusted Segment EBITDA was $3.8 million.
- Colorado. This segment includes Bronco Billy’s Casino and Hotel and, upon its opening, Chamonix Casino Hotel. The Colorado gaming market, including Cripple Creek, has shown significant growth since betting limits were eliminated in May 2021. Bronco Billy’s, however, has incurred significant construction disruption, including temporarily-reduced gaming and restaurant capacity and the temporary absence of all on-site hotel rooms and on-site self-parking. To alleviate the lack of on-site parking, Bronco Billy’s currently offers complimentary valet parking and a free shuttle service to an off-site parking lot, both of which result in increased operating expenses. The casino has also maintained much of its payroll, despite reduced activity levels, anticipating the need for the larger workforce required to open and operate Chamonix. Somewhat offsetting this, some expenses, such as gaming taxes and the cost of food and beverages, vary with activity levels. Revenues were $4.4 million in the third quarter of 2022, versus $6.3 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted Segment EBITDA was $36,000, versus $1.5 million. We expect to complete the refurbishment of Bronco Billy’s gaming space near year-end, and to augment its restaurant capacity in the first quarter of 2023. When Chamonix opens in mid-2023, Bronco Billy’s will share the significant on-site parking garage, valet and surface parking capacity of the new casino, and also benefit from Chamonix’s adjoining 300-guestroom hotel.
- Nevada. This segment consists of the Grand Lodge Casino, which is located within the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe luxury resort in Incline Village, and Stockman’s Casino, which is located in Fallon, Nevada. Revenues were $6.3 million in the third quarter of 2022, a 22.6% increase from $5.1 million in the prior-year period. Grand Lodge Casino benefited from a 7.8 percentage-point increase in the table games hold percentage during the 2022 third quarter. Additionally, visitation to Grand Lodge Casino in the prior-year period was adversely affected by significant wildfires in the area. Adjusted Segment EBITDA increased to $2.3 million in the third quarter of 2022, up 48.3% from $1.5 million in the prior-year period.
- Contracted Sports Wagering. This segment consists of the Company’s on-site and online sports wagering “skins” (akin to websites) in Colorado, Indiana and, upon launch, Illinois. Revenues and Adjusted Segment EBITDA were both $1.1 million in the third quarter of 2022, versus $1.6 million in the prior-year period. These results reflect two agreements that ceased operations in May 2022, when one of the Company’s contracted parties ceased operations. We are evaluating the best use for these two available skins, one each in Indiana and Colorado, including whether to utilize these skins ourselves or to find replacement operators for such skins. The results of this segment do not yet include income contribution from the Company’s agreement for a third party to operate on-site and online sports betting in Illinois. Under such agreement, the Company will receive a percentage of revenues, as defined in the contract, subject to an annualized minimum of $5 million, with minimal expected expenses. Management anticipates the Illinois sports operations will begin in Spring 2023.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $241.8 million in cash and cash equivalents (including $156.1 million of cash reserved to complete the construction of Chamonix) and $410.0 million in outstanding senior secured notes due 2028. Additionally, there were no drawn amounts under the Company’s $40 million credit facility.

(a) Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measure
The Company utilizes Adjusted Segment EBITDA, a financial measure in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), as the measure of segment profitability in assessing performance and allocating resources at the reportable segment level. 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 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 also utilizes Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure), which is defined as Adjusted Segment EBITDA net of corporate-related costs and expenses.
Although Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with GAAP, the Company believes this non-GAAP financial measure provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity. The Company utilizes this metric or measure internally to focus management on year-over-year changes in core operating performance, which it considers its ordinary, ongoing and customary operations and which it believes is useful information to investors. Accordingly, management excludes certain items when analyzing core operating performance, such as the items mentioned above, that management believes are not reflective of ordinary, ongoing and customary operations.
A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA is presented below. However, you should not consider this measure in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, cash flows from operating activities, or any other measure for determining our operating performance or liquidity that is calculated in accordance with GAAP. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that, in the future, we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.
