Las Vegas – May 7, 2026 – Full House Resorts, Inc. (Nasdaq: FLL) today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.
On a consolidated basis, revenues in the first quarter of 2026 were $74.4 million, reflecting growth at American Place Casino and Rising Star Casino Resort, offset by the sale of Stockman’s Casino in April 2025 and the termination of an agreement with one of our contracted sports wagering providers in 2025. In the prior-year period, revenues were $75.1 million. Excluding Stockman’s, revenues increased by 0.9%. Net loss for the first quarter of 2026 was $(8.2) million, or $(0.23) per diluted common share, which includes $0.1 million of development costs. In the prior-year period, net loss was $(9.8) million, or $(0.27) per diluted common share, reflecting $0.1 million of project development costs and a $0.2 million impairment of certain assets at Stockman’s Casino. Adjusted EBITDA(a) rose to $13.2 million in the first quarter of 2026, a 14.7% increase from $11.5 million in the prior-year period, reflecting growth at most of our casino properties, including large percentage increases at American Place, Chamonix/Bronco Billy’s and Rising Star, as well as growth at Silver Slipper Casino Hotel.
“We had a great first quarter, led by continuing strength at American Place,” said Daniel R. Lee, Chief Executive Officer of Full House Resorts. “Our growth at American Place, located in Chicago’s northern suburbs, reflects its increasing awareness and popularity, as well as the continued expansion of our player database. Looking ahead, we remain excited about the construction and opening of our permanent American Place facility, to be located adjacent to the existing temporary casino. The permanent casino is designed to have more than twice the overall square footage, 39% more slot machines, 86% more table games, additional amenities, and significantly more lavish street appeal and décor than the temporary casino, which is in a sprung structure.
“The City of Waukegan recently approved our earthmoving plans. We are also preparing to enter into a pre-construction agreement with Power Construction and recently entered into a construction advisory agreement with W. A. Richardson Builders (“Richardson”). Power Construction is a large Chicago-based contractor and is currently building the Hollywood Casino and Hotel in Aurora, Illinois. Richardson is a large construction company based in Las Vegas and oversaw construction of both the Fontainebleau and Durango resort casinos. The principals in Richardson, before starting their construction company, had major roles at Mandalay Resort Group, where they were involved in the development and construction of several Las Vegas and regional casinos, including the Grand Victoria casino in Elgin, Illinois. The architect for the project is WATG, whose team has worked on numerous casinos, including The Venetian in Las Vegas and the Hard Rock in Rockford, Illinois.
“We have made significant progress in arranging the financing for the permanent American Place casino. We anticipate refinancing our existing bonds, which mature in February 2028, as part of that financing. We will announce the details of this planned financing when such arrangements become contractual, which we anticipate within the next few weeks.
“Construction of the permanent casino should require approximately 18 months to two years. Because this timeline would put its opening beyond the date permitted for operations of the temporary casino, there is a bill in the current Illinois legislative session that would extend such period. If the legislation is approved, it would ensure the continuation of significant tax and other benefits and a smooth transition from the temporary to the permanent facility. Bills such as this are often resolved late in the legislative session, which is scheduled to end on May 31.
