~~We manage our~~

The Company manages its casinos based primarily on geographic regions within the United States. ~~See Note 10~~Our 2021 results reflect a change in our operating segments. We now break out our on-site and online sports wagering skins in Colorado and Indiana as a standalone segment, Contracted Sports Wagering. Certain reclassifications were made to 2020 amounts to conform to current-period presentation for enhanced comparability. Such reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported results of operations or financial position.

COVID-19 Pandemic Update. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus as a pandemic (“COVID-19”). Although COVID-19 continues to spread throughout the U.S. and the world, vaccines designed to inhibit the severity and the spread of COVID-19 are now being distributed. As a result, the number of newly reported cases has declined in the U.S. in recent weeks, though new variants could result in a reversal of these trends. For example, the Delta variant of COVID-19 resulted in large increases in the number of COVID-19 cases as it spread globally. COVID-19 has resulted in the implementation of significant, government-imposed measures to prevent or reduce its spread, including travel restrictions, business restrictions, closing of borders, “shelter-in-place” orders and business closures. In March 2020, pursuant to state government orders, the Company temporarily closed all of its casino properties.

Table of Contents

As a result, the Company experienced a material decline in its revenues until its properties began reopening when permitted by local authorities. The reopening dates were:

●

Silver Slipper Casino and Hotel ― May 21, 2020

●

Grand Lodge Casino and Stockman’s Casino ― June 4, 2020

●

Bronco Billy’s Casino and Hotel ― June 15, 2020

●

Rising Star Casino Resort ― June 15, 2020.

During the shutdown period, the Company evaluated labor, marketing and other costs at its businesses so that, upon reopening, its properties could reopen with significantly lower operating costs. As a result, the Company’s operating performance since reopening in mid-2020 has been stronger than pre-pandemic levels, despite business restrictions throughout its properties and certain pandemic-related additional costs. The extent to which the Company’s financial and operating results in future periods may be affected by COVID-19, including the Delta or other variants, will largely depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted at this time. Significant uncertainties include the ability to operate; new information which may emerge concerning new strains of COVID-19 and their severity; vaccination rates among the population; the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines against variants; any additional actions imposed by governmental authorities (including the potential mandated vaccination or repeated testing of our employees) to contain or minimize the impact of COVID-19 and any variants; increased operating costs and constraints to implement sanitation and social distancing requirements; increased costs for materials due to supply chain constraints; and general economic conditions, among others.

The disruptions arising from COVID-19 continued to impact the Company during the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2021. The duration and intensity of this global health emergency and related disruptions are uncertain. While each of the Company’s properties are currently open and operating restrictions further ~~information.~~

eased during the third quarter of 2021, the current economic and regulatory environment in each of the Company’s jurisdictions continues to evolve. For example, mask mandates for all employees and guests were re-introduced at our Nevada properties in July 2021 in compliance with recent orders from Nevada state government officials and, in November 2021, new national rules were announced that would require employers with more than 100 employees to ensure their workers are vaccinated against COVID-19 or undergo weekly testing. The manner in which governments will react as the global and regional impact of the COVID-19 pandemic changes over time is uncertain, and such actions could significantly alter the Company’s current operations.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation.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 consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s ~~2016~~2020 annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016.~~

2020.

The interim 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 consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Full House and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All ~~material~~ intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Fair Value and the Fair Value Input Hierarchy.Fair value measurements affect ~~our~~the Company’s accounting for net assets acquired in acquisition transactions and certain financial assets and ~~liabilities, such as our common stock warrant liability.~~liabilities. Fair value measurements are also used in ~~our~~the Company’s periodic assessments of long-lived tangible and intangible assets for possible impairment, including for property and equipment, goodwill, and other intangible assets. Fair value is defined as the expected price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Table of Contents

GAAP categorizes the inputs used for fair value into a three-level ~~hierarchy. “Level 1”~~hierarchy:

●

Level 1: Observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

●

Level 2: Comparable inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for similar assets or liabilities in less active markets; and

●

Level 3: Unobservable inputs which may include metrics that market participants would use to estimate values, such as revenue and earnings multiples and relative rates of return.

The Company utilizes Level 1 inputs ~~are most readily observable, such as quoted prices in an active market for identical assets or liabilities; “Level 2”~~when measuring the fair value of its 2028 Notes (see Note 5).

The Company utilizes Level 2 inputs ~~such as observable inputs for similar assets in less active markets;~~when measuring the fair value of its asset purchases and ~~“Level 3” inputs, which are unobservable and may include metrics that market participants would use to estimate values, such as revenue and earnings multiples and relative rates of return.~~

acquisitions (see Note 4).

The Company utilizes Level 3 inputs when measuring the fair value of net assets acquired in business combination transactions, subsequent assessments for impairment, and ~~all~~most financial instruments, including but not limited to the estimated fair value of common stock warrants at issuance and for recurring changes in the related warrant liability (see Note 5)6).

Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash. Cash equivalents include cash involved in operations and cash in excess of daily requirements that is invested in highly liquid, short-term investments with initial maturities of three months or less when purchased.

Restricted cash balances consist of funds initially totaling $180 million, which were placed into a construction reserve account to fund the completion of the Chamonix construction project.

Accounts Receivable. Accounts receivable consist primarily of casino, hotel and other receivables, are typically non-interest bearing, and are carried net of an appropriate collection allowance to approximate fair value. Allowances for doubtful accounts 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 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.


(In thousands)	September 30,		December 31,
	2021		2020
Accounts receivable	$	4,796	$	5,080
Accounts receivable allowance		(252)		(176)
	$	4,544	$	4,904

At September 30, 2021, the balance in accounts receivables includes the sale of “free play” at Rising Star for $2.1 million in September. Because Indiana has a progressive gaming tax system and Rising Star is one of the smaller casinos in the state, the property has consistently sold its ability to deduct “free play” in computing gaming taxes to operators in higher tax tiers (and usually sold in the fourth quarter in prior years). Compared to December 31, 2020, the balance in accounts receivables includes the sale of “free play” at Rising Star for the same amount of $2.1 million in the fourth quarter.

Revenue Recognition of Accrued Club Points and Deferred Revenues

Accrued Club Points: Operating Revenues and Related Costs and Expenses.The Company’s revenues consist primarily of casino gaming, food and beverage, hotel, and other revenues (such as sports wagering, golf, RV park operations, and entertainment). The majority of the Company’s revenues are derived from casino gaming, principally slot machines.

Gaming revenue is the difference between gaming wins and losses, not the total amount wagered. The Company accounts for its gaming transactions on a portfolio basis as such wagers have similar characteristics and it would not be practical to view each wager on an individual basis.

Table of Contents

The Company sometimes provides discretionary complimentary goods and services (“discretionary comps”), primarily to casino customers. For these types of transactions, the Company allocates revenue to the department providing the complimentary goods or services based upon its estimated standalone selling price, offset by a reduction in casino revenues.

Many of the Company’s customers choose to earn points under its customer loyalty programs. As points are accrued, the Company defers a portion of its gaming revenue based on the estimated standalone value of loyalty points being earned by the customer. The standalone value of loyalty points is derived from the retail value of food, beverages, hotel rooms, and other goods or services for which such points may be redeemed. A liability related to these customer loyalty points is recorded, net of estimated breakage and other factors, until the customer redeems these points, primarily for “free casino play,” complimentary dining, or hotel stays. Such liabilities were approximately $0.6 million for September 30, 2021 and $0.8 million for December 31, 2020, and these amounts are included in “other accrued liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheets. Upon redemption, the related revenue is recognized at retail value within the department providing the goods or services, offset by a reduction in the liability.

Revenue for food and beverage, hotel, and other revenue transactions is typically the net amount collected from customers for such goods and services, plus the retail value of (i) discretionary comps and (ii) comps provided in return for redemption of loyalty points. The Company records such revenue as the good or service is transferred to the customer. Additionally, the Company may collect deposits in advance for future hotel reservations or entertainment, among other services, which represent obligations of the Company until the service is provided to the customer.

Deferred Revenues: Market Access Fees from Sports Wagering Agreements.In 2019, the Company entered into several ten-year agreements with various unaffiliated companies allowing for online/mobile sports wagering within Indiana and Colorado, as well as on-site sports wagering at Rising Star and Bronco Billy’s casinos (the “Sports Agreements”). The contracts differ as to the percentages of revenues that we receive. Also, some contracts require payments in advance of the contract year, while others call for settlement in arrears. As part of these long-term Sports Agreements, the Company received $6 million in one-time market access fees, which were recorded as a long-term liability in the same amount and are being recognized as revenue ratably over the initial term of each agreement, beginning with the commencement of operations.

Indiana. Two of the Company’s Sports Agreements commenced operations in December 2019 and April 2021, respectively. The contracted party for the remaining Sports Agreement is awaiting approval from the state gaming commission prior to commencing operations.

Colorado. The Company’s three Sports Agreements commenced online operations in June 2020, December 2020 and April 2021, respectively.

Deferred revenues also include a total of $2.0 million related to the annual prepayment of contracted revenue, as required in two of the Sports Agreements. We received $1.0 million of prepaid revenue for contracted sports operations that commenced in Colorado in December 2020, and $1.0 million for contracted sports operations that commenced in Indiana in April 2021.

Such revenues consisted of the following, as discussed above:


(In thousands)		September 30,		December 31,
	Balance Sheet Location	2021		2020
Deferred revenue, current	Other accrued liabilities	$	1,222	$	1,372
Deferred revenue, net of current portion	Contract liabilities, net of current portion		4,948		5,398

Income Taxes.For interim income tax reporting ~~it was determined that~~for the ~~Company's~~three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2021, the Company estimates its annual effective tax rate ~~could not be reasonably estimated. As a result, the~~and applies it to its year-to-date pretax income or loss.

Table of Contents

Reclassifications. The Company ~~used the actual year-to-date effective tax rate to determine the tax expense incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.~~

Effective January 1, 2017, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes,” (“ASU 2015-17”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. This update requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets, along with any related valuation allowance, be classified as non-current in a classified statement of financial position. The update allows for retrospective application. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2016, we reclassified the current portion of deferred tax assets of $42,000 and the current portion of deferred tax liabilities of $723,000, to non-current deferred tax liabilities.

~~Reclassifications.~~ We made certain minor financial statement presentation reclassifications to prior-period amounts to conform to the current-period presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported ~~net income (loss)~~results of operations or ~~stockholders' equity.~~

financial position.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share.Earnings (loss) per share is net income (loss) applicable to common stock divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional dilutive effects for all potentially-dilutive securities, including ~~common~~share-based awards outstanding under the Company’s stock ~~options~~compensation plan and warrants, using the treasury stock method.

~~Recently Issued~~

Leases. The Company determines if a contract is or contains a lease at inception or modification of the agreement. A contract is or contains a lease if there are identified assets and the right to control the use of an identified asset is conveyed for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified asset means that the lessee has both the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and the right to direct the use of the asset.

For material leases with terms greater than a year, the Company records right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet, as measured on a discounted basis. For finance leases, the Company recognizes interest expense associated with the lease liability and depreciation expense associated with the ROU asset; for operating leases, the Company recognizes straight-line rent expense.

The Company does not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less. However, costs related to short-term leases with terms greater than one month, which the Company deems material, are disclosed as a component of lease expenses when applicable. Additionally, the Company accounts for new and existing leases containing both lease and non-lease components (“embedded leases”) together as a single lease component by asset class for gaming-related equipment; therefore, the Company does not allocate contract consideration to the separate lease and non-lease components based on their relative standalone prices.

Finance and operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the expected lease term at commencement. As the implicit rate is not determinable in most of the Company’s leases, management uses the Company’s incremental borrowing rate as estimated by third-party valuation specialists in determining the present value of future payments based on the information available at the commencement date and/or modification date. The expected lease terms include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise such options. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term for operating leases. For finance leases, the ROU asset depreciates on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or useful life of the ROU asset and the lease liability accretes interest based on the interest method using the discount rate determined at lease commencement.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Income Taxes. In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards ~~Not Yet Adopted.~~ ~~As more fully explained in~~Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the ~~notes~~Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASU 2019-12”). This standard simplifies the accounting for income taxes and includes removal of certain exceptions to the ~~Company's 2016 annual consolidated financial statements included in~~general principles of ASC 740, Income Taxes, and updates and simplifies certain areas of the ~~Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K~~codification. ASU 2019-12 was effective for the ~~year ended December 31, 2016, certain accounting standards~~Company beginning on January 1, 2021, but did not ~~yet effective may~~ have a material effect on our financial statements. Such new standards include ASU 2016-02 relating to the accounting for leases as a lessee and ASU 2014-09 (as amended) relating to revenue recognition and presentation. These updates will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Management is currently assessing the impact ~~that adoption of the lease and revenue recognition accounting standards will have~~ on its ~~consolidated~~ financial statements ~~and footnote disclosures. Under the new revenue recognition standard, the~~upon adoption.

The Company expects it will no longer be permitted to recognize revenues for complimentary goods and services provided to customers as an inducement to gamble as gross revenue with a corresponding offset to promotional allowances to arrive at net revenues. Revenues instead will be presented net of the retail value of those complimentary goods and services.

~~Management~~ believes that there are no other ~~recently issued~~recently-issued accounting standards not yet effective that are currently likely to have a material impact on ~~our~~its financial statements.

The First Lien and Second Lien Credit Facilities are collateralized by substantially all of our assets and our subsidiaries guarantee our obligations under the agreements. The Second Lien Credit Facility is subordinate to the First Lien Credit Facility.

~~First Lien Credit Facility~~. This facility includes a term loan of originally $45 million and revolving loan of $2 million and matures in May 2019. Variable rate interest payments are required monthly. Quarterly principal payments of $562,500 are payable until May 2018, with such payments increasing to $843,750 thereafter through maturity. As of September 30, 2017, $41.6 million was owed.

The interest rate of the First Lien Credit Facility is based on the greater of the elected London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) (as defined) or 1.0%, plus a margin rate of 4.25%. The margin rate increased to 4.25% from 3.75% beginning in May 2017. There is no prepayment premium or interest rate cap associated with this facility.

~~Second Lien Credit Facility. This facility is a $55 million term loan and currently is scheduled to mature in November 2019. The maturity~~it is the earlier of (i) May 13, 2022, or (ii) six months following the maturity date of the First Lien Credit Facility. Interest is currently payable monthly at a rate of 13.5%, and may vary between 12.5% and 13.5%, depending on the total leverage of the Company. All principal is due at maturity. If repaid early, the prepayment premium is 2% until May 13, 2018, 1% until May 13, 2019, and no prepayment premium thereafter.

~~Covenants~~. The First Lien and Second Lien Credit Facilities contain customary representations and warranties, events of default, and positive and negative covenants. We are also required to make capital expenditures of at least 1.425%, and no more than 5.25%, of our prior-year revenues, excluding capital expenditures made from any sale of our equity securities.

The First Lien and Second Lien Credit Facilities require that we maintain specified financial covenants, including a total leverage ratio, a first lien leverage ratio, and a fixed charge coverage ratio, all of which measure Adjusted EBITDA against outstanding debt and fixed charges (as defined in the agreements). These financial covenant ratios are currently defined as follows:



~~First Lien Credit Facility~~
~~Applicable Period~~	~~Maximum~~ ~~Total Leverage~~ ~~Ratio~~	~~Maximum~~ ~~First Lien Leverage Ratio~~
~~March 31, 2017 through and including September 29, 2017~~	~~5.875x~~	~~2.625x~~

~~Additionally, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio as of the last day of any fiscal quarter shall not be less than 1.0x.~~

We were in compliance with our covenants as of September 30, 2017; however, there can be no assurances that we will remain in compliance with all covenants in the future and/or that we would be successful in obtaining waivers or modifications in the event of noncompliance.

~~Capital Lease~~

Our Indiana subsidiary, Gaming Entertainment (Indiana) LLC, leases a 104-room hotel at Rising Star Casino Resort. At any time during the lease term, we have the option to purchase the hotel at a price based upon the project’s actual cost of $7.7 million, reduced by the cumulative principal payments made by the Company during the lease term. At September 30, 2017, such net amount was $5.4 million. Upon expiration of the lease term, (i) the Landlord has the right to sell the hotel to us, and (ii) we have the option to purchase the hotel. In either case, the purchase price is $1 plus closing costs.

On March 16, 2016, we amended the hotel lease agreement to extend the payment terms. The amendment included, among other items, a covenant that the Company make certain improvements to the Rising Star Casino Resort of at least $1 million, whichlessor. As lessee, the Company has ~~already satisfied.~~

~~On September 17, 2017, we entered into~~1 finance lease for a ~~second amendment to the lease agreement to facilitate construction of the Recreational Vehicle Park adjoining the leased hotel.~~

~~Common Stock Warrant Liability~~

~~On May 13, 2016, the Company granted the Second Lien Credit Facility lenders 1,006,568 warrants. The warrants have an exercise price of $1.67~~hotel and expire on May 13, 2026. The warrants also provide for redemption rights, preemptive rights under certain circumstances to maintain their 5% ownership interest in the Company, piggyback registration rights and mandatory registration rights after two years. The redemption rights allow the warrant-holders, at their option, to require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of the warrants in the event of: (i) the maturity of the Second Lien Credit Facility, (ii) an acceleration pursuant to the Second Lien Credit Facility, (iii) a refinancing, repayment or other transaction decreasing the aggregate principal amount of the Second Lien Credit Facility debt outstanding as of May 13, 2016 by more than 50%, (iv) a liquidity event, as defined, or (v) the Company's insolvency. The repurchase value is the 21-day average price of the Company's stock at the time of the event, as defined, net of the warrant exercise price. If the redemption rights are exercised, the repurchase amount is payable by the Company in cash or through the issuance of an unsecured note with a four-year term and a minimum interest rate of 13.25%, as further defined, and would be guaranteed by the Company's subsidiaries. Alternatively, the warrant-holders may choose to have the Company register and sell the shares related to the warrants through a public stock offering.

We measure the fair value of the warrants at each reporting period. Due to the variable terms regarding the timing of the settlement of the warrants, the Company utilized a "Monte Carlo" simulation approach to measure the fair value of the warrants. The simulation included certain estimates by Company management regarding the estimated timing of the settlement of the warrants. Significant increases or decreases in those management estimates would result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. At September 30, 2017, the simulation included the following assumptions: an expected contractual term of 2.82 years, an expected stock price volatility rate of 44.11%, an expected dividend yield of 0%, and an expected risk-free interest rate of 1.64%. The common stock warrant liability at September 30, 2017 was $1.4 million.

~~6. INCOME TAXES~~

The Company's effective income tax rate for the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2017 was 18.9% and (70.2)%, respectively, compared to an effective income tax rate of 56.9% and (21.4)% in the prior-year periods. Our tax rate differs from the statutory rate of 34.0% primarily due to the effects of valuation allowances against net deferred tax assets and certain permanent item differences between tax and financial reporting purposes.

~~7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES~~

~~Litigation~~

In 2013 and 2014, we expended and capitalized approximately $1.6 million to repair construction defects to the parking garage at the Silver Slipper Casino and Hotel. The parking garage was originally built in 2007 and the Company acquired the Silver Slipper Casino in 2012. We hired outside legal counsel to pursue damages against the contractor and architect. During the third quarter of 2015, the case was dismissed in favor of the defendants, as the statutes of repose had expired. On November 25, 2015, we entered into a settlement and release agreement with the architect.

On January 12, 2016, we filed an appellate brief in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ("Fifth Circuit"). On August 31, 2016, the Fifth Circuit heard oral arguments and on January 6, 2017, the Fifth Circuit reversed the District Court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of the contractor and remanded the case back to the District Court for trial. The contractor's request for rehearing was subsequently denied. During March 2017, the Company also filed a lawsuit against the contractor's insurance company.

During September 2017, we reached a settlement with the contractor and contractor's insurance company. The parties agreed to a mutual release of all claims and counterclaims, and the contractor and the contractor's insurance company paid $675,000 to the Company. The settlement effectively compensated the Company for legal and other costs associated in pursuing the matter, including $55,000 and $98,000 of legal costs during the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2017, and $106,000 and $227,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. The settlement proceeds reduced selling, general and administrative costs.

We are 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 our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

~~Operating Leases~~

~~In addition to the following leases, we have less-significant~~various operating leases for ~~certain~~land, casino and office space, equipment, buildings, and ~~warehouse facilities, office equipment, signage and land.~~signage. The Company’s lease terms, including extensions, range from one month to approximately 37 years. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material

From April 1, 2022 through October 1, 2027, the Company may buy out the lease for $15.5 million plus a seller-retained interest in Silver Slipper Casino and Hotel’s operations of 3% of net income (as defined) for ~~ten~~10 years following the purchase date. In the event that we sell or transfer (i) substantially all of the assets of Silver Slipper Casino Venture, LLC, or (ii) our membership interests in Silver Slipper Casino Venture, LLC in its entirety, the purchase price will increase to $17.1 million plus the retained interest for ten years mentioned above.

The Company has the right to purchase the casino at any time during the lease term, as extended. Currently, the purchase price is $2.8 million as of November 1, 2021.

As part of the Chamonix development project, this building is currently used as office space for construction personnel, obviating the need for construction trailers. The lease includes a minimum three-year term with annual lease payments of $0.2 million, and was subsequently extended in June 2021 for an additional two years with annual lease payments of $0.3 million.

We also have an agreement with Hyatt for exclusive usage of certain hotel rooms and suites by our casino guests. The agreement, which commenced on June 1, 2016, includes a monthly fee of $41,667, a mutual six-month termination notification clause and matures on August 31, 2023, or earlier as set forth therein.

~~Corporate Office Lease.~~ ~~In August 2016,~~2020, the Company executed a fifth amendment to the facilities lease that retroactively reduced rent amounts due during the closure period, specifically a 25% reduction in rent for March 2020 and a 50% reduction in rent for each of April and May of 2020. Such reductions totaled $208,000 and such benefit was amortized over the remaining life of the lease.

Corporate Office Lease through January 2025. The Company leases 4,479 square feet of office space in Las Vegas, ~~Nevada, replacing our previous office space lease that was originally due to expire in May 2018. The new lease terms include a length of 7.6 years,~~Nevada. Annual rent is approximately $0.2 million and the term of ~~annual rents~~the office lease expires in January 2025.

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-room hotel at Rising Star Casino Resort. At any time during the lease term, the Company has the option to purchase the hotel 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 September 30, 2021, such potential purchase price was $3.4 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.

Cripple Creek Land and Real Estate Purchase. As part of the development of Chamonix, the Company purchased Carr Manor, a boutique hotel with 14 guest rooms. This transaction closed on March 31, 2021 as an asset purchase for total consideration of $2.8 million. The purchase included 5 parcels of land, which adds to the Company’s land ownership in Cripple Creek by approximately 1.6 acres and provides additional guest parking. The addition of Carr Manor allows Bronco Billy’s to provide overnight accommodations to its guests during the construction of Chamonix, as many of Bronco Billy’s existing hotel rooms are either currently closed, being utilized by construction personnel, or will be repurposed as part of the construction of Chamonix.

Additionally, on April 16, 2021, the Company purchased a lot and building near its operations in Cripple Creek, Colorado for $600,000.

(3)	The estimated fair value for this non-traded debt instrument can be approximated by its respective carrying value because of its similar terms to other CARES Act loans.

Debt Refinancing: Notes Issuance. On February 12, 2021, the Company refinanced its existing outstanding Senior Secured Notes due 2024 (the “Prior Notes”) with the issuance of $310 million aggregate principal amount of 8.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”). The 2028 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 2028 Notes is payable on February 15 and August 15 of each year, with the next interest payment due on February 15, 2022.

The net proceeds from the sale of the 2028 Notes were used to redeem all of the Prior Notes (including a 0.90% prepayment premium) and to repurchase all outstanding warrants. Additionally, $180 million of bond proceeds were placed into a construction reserve account to fund construction of Chamonix. Accordingly, this amount is recorded as restricted cash. Net of transaction fees and expenses, approximately $8 million was added to unrestricted cash and equivalents.

The 2028 Notes are guaranteed, jointly and severally (such guarantees, the “Guarantees”), by each of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”). The 2028 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 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 2028 Notes and the Guarantees, if any. The 2028 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 2028 Notes contain representations and warranties, financial covenants, and restrictions on dividends customary for notes of this type. Mandatory prepayments, in whole or in part, of the 2028 Notes will be required upon the occurrence of certain events, including sales of certain assets, upon certain changes of control, or should the Company have certain unused funds in the construction disbursement account following the completion of Chamonix.

On or prior to February 15, 2024, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the original principal amount of the 2028 Notes with proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price of 108.25%, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. In addition, the Company may redeem some or all of the 2028 Notes prior to February 15, 2024 at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the 2028 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date and a ~~tenant improvement allowance~~“make-whole” premium.

Table of ~~$0.2 million.~~Contents

At any time on or after February 15, 2024, the Company may redeem some or all of the 2028 Notes for cash at the following redemption prices:


Redemption Periods	Percentage Premium
February 15, 2024 to February 14, 2025	104.125	%
February 15, 2025 to February 14, 2026	102.063	%
February 15, 2026 and Thereafter	100.000	%

Prior Notes. On February 2, 2018, the Company sold $100 million of Prior Notes to qualified institutional buyers. On May 10, 2019, the Company sold an additional $10 million in aggregate principal amount of Prior Notes. Collectively, the Prior Notes were due to mature on February 2, 2024 and included quarterly principal payments as defined and interest based on the greater of the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or 1.0%, plus a margin rate of 7.0%.

The Prior Notes contained certain representations and warranties, events of default, and financial covenants that were more restrictive than the 2028 Notes. For example, the Company was required to maintain a total leverage ratio, which measured Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the indenture) against outstanding debt. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business operations in 2020, the Company executed amendments, and paid negotiated amendment fees, to delete the total leverage ratio covenant as of March 31, June 30, and September 30, 2020, among other items.

Revolving Credit Facility. On March 31, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement, which provides for a $15.0 million, senior secured five-year revolving credit facility and includes a letter of credit sub-facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility may be used for working capital and other ongoing general purposes.

Until the completion of Chamonix, the interest rate per annum applicable to loans under the Credit Facility will be, at the Company’s option, either (i) LIBOR plus a margin equal to 3.50%, or (ii) a base rate plus a margin equal to 2.50%. After completion of Chamonix (as defined in the agreement), the interest rate per annum applicable to loans under the Credit Facility will be reduced to, at the Company’s option, either (i) LIBOR plus a margin equal to 3.00%, or (ii) a base rate plus a margin equal to 2.00%. The commitment fee per annum payable is equal to 0.50% of the unused portion of the Credit Facility. The Company ~~began occupying~~has also agreed to pay customary letter of credit fees, if any such letters of credit are issued. The Credit Facility is available, subject to the ~~new office space~~satisfaction of customary conditions, until March 31, 2026, at which time all amounts borrowed must be repaid. As of September 30, 2021, there were 0 drawn amounts under the Credit Facility or any outstanding letters of credit.

The Credit Facility is equally and ratably secured by the same assets and guarantees securing the 2028 Notes. The Company may make prepayments of any amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility (without any reduction of the revolving commitments) in ~~June 2017. During~~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 ~~third~~covenants contained in the 2028 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 twelve-month period must equal or exceed the utilized portion of the Credit Facility, if drawn. The Company was in compliance with this financial covenant as of September 30, 2021.

Unsecured Loans Under the CARES Act. On May 8, 2020, two wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company ~~terminated~~executed promissory notes (the “Promissory Notes”) evidencing unsecured loans in the ~~previous office space~~aggregate amount of $5,606,200 through programs established under the CARES Act (the “Loans”) and administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”). Such funds were principally used to rehire several hundred employees at Rising Star and Bronco Billy’s in advance of, and subsequent to, their reopenings in mid-June. The Loans were made through Zions Bancorporation, N.A. dba Nevada State Bank (the “Lender”), bear interest at a rate of 1.00% per annum, and originally had a two-year term.

Table of Contents

Legislation subsequently extended the original maturity dates to May 3, 2025 with no change to the annual interest rate. After a 15-month deferment period for principal and interest payments, the Company was to be required to make monthly loan payments totaling $128,557 beginning in September 2021. However, when the Company submitted its forgiveness application for the Loans, the deferment period was further extended. It will remain extended until the Company receives a formal decision from its Lender regarding forgiveness of the Loans. While management believes that the Loans should fully qualify for forgiveness, there is no certainty that any or all of such Loans will be forgiven. If not forgiven, the Loans may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties.

6. COMMON STOCK WARRANT LIABILITY

On February 12, 2021, the Company used a portion of the proceeds from the 2028 Notes offering to redeem all of its outstanding warrants. As part of the Company’s former Second Lien Credit Facility, which was retired in 2018, the Company granted the second lien lenders 1,006,568 warrants. The settled repurchase price to redeem the warrants was $4.0 million.

The Company previously measured the fair value of the warrants at each reporting period. However, upon redemption of the warrants on February 12, 2021, the fair value was determined based on the negotiated repurchase price of $4.0 million. This resulted in a final incremental fair value adjustment of $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2021.

7. INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective income tax rates for the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2021 were 2.0% and 5.4%, respectively, compared to effective income tax rates of (1.2)% and 0.1% for the corresponding prior-year periods. The Company’s tax rates differ from the statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to the effects of valuation allowances against net deferred tax assets, as well as certain permanent item differences between tax and financial reporting purposes.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES AND SUBSEQUENT EVENT

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.

Options to Lease Land

Option Agreement for Public Trust Tidelands Lease in Mississippi. The Company has been evaluating the potential construction of an additional hotel tower and related amenities at Silver Slipper, a portion of which would extend out over the adjoining Gulf of Mexico. In contemplation for such potential future expansion, the Company paid $5,000 for an option agreement – entered into by the Company on June 8, 2021 and approved by the Governor of Mississippi on July 13, 2021 – for a 30-year lease ~~effective October 31, 2017~~of approximately a half-acre of tidelands, with a term extension for another 30 years, if exercised. This initial six-month option can be renewed for 3 additional six-month periods, with the payment of $5,000 for each extension. In November 2021, the Company ~~paying two~~paid an additional $5,000 to exercise its first six-month option extension through the end of May 2022.

Upon commencement of the lease, and for the first 18 months or until the beginning of the next six-month period after the opening of commercial operations on the leased premises, whichever occurs sooner, rent would be $10,000 for each six-month period (“Construction Rent”). Construction Rent would terminate no later than 18 months after the commencement of the lease. Thereafter, annual rent would be $105,300, with adjustments, based on the consumer price index on each anniversary. Before construction can commence, additional ~~rent.~~entitlements are necessary, including certain environmental approvals. There can be no certainty that the tidelands lease option will be exercised or that the contemplated Silver Slipper expansion will be built.

On March 29, 2021, the Company completed an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) for a ~~rights offering to existing~~total of 6,917,250 shares of its common ~~stockholders. Because the rights issuance was offered to all existing stockholders at an exercise price that was less than the fair~~stock, par value ~~of the stock, the weighted average shares outstanding and basic and diluted earnings~~$0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), which includes 902,250 shares of Common Stock sold pursuant to the underwriters’ exercise of an option to purchase additional shares of Common Stock to cover over-allotments. The price to the public in the Offering was $6.65 per share of Common Stock, and net proceeds were ~~adjusted retroactively~~approximately $43.0 million after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses. The Company intends to ~~reflect~~use the ~~bonus element of the rights~~net proceeds from this offering for all periods presented. As a result, the Company retroactively adjusted the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding from 19,018,809 to 19,689,332 for the three months ended September 30, 2016,general corporate purposes, including its current and ~~from 18,995,279 to 19,665,686 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.~~

10. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

~~During the second quarter of 2017, our~~

On May 19, 2021, stockholders approved an amendment to the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan ~~("2015 Plan"~~(the “2015 Plan”) ~~that increased~~to increase the number of shares ~~of common stock~~ available for issuance ~~under~~by 2,000,000 shares.

Restricted Stock Awards and Performance-Based Shares. On May 19, 2021, the ~~2015 Plan from 1,400,000 to 2,500,000. In~~

~~addition to the increase in the number of authorized shares issuable under the 2015 Plan, the amendment included several "best practices" changes.~~

~~In May 2017, the~~ Company issued 180,000 stock options under the 2015 Plan to various employees of the Company, all of which have an exercise price of $2.32. These stock options all vest in equal amounts over the next three years. Additionally, the Company extended the employment agreement of Daniel R. Lee, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, through November 2020 and simultaneously issued 240,000 stock options under the 2015 Plan to him with an exercise price of $2.32. Mr. Lee's options will vest ratably on a monthly basis between December 1, 2018 and November 30, 2020 in conjunction with his amended employment agreement. In all cases, the exercise price of the options reflects the Company's closing price on the date of grant.

~~As compensation for their annual service, the Company also~~ issued to non-executive members of its Board of Directors, ~~59,990 stock options~~as compensation for their annual service, a total of 31,512 restricted shares under the 2015 Plan with ~~an exercise price of $2.32 and~~ a one-year vesting ~~period;~~period. Additionally, the Company issued 69,975 performance-based shares in January 2021 and ~~25,860~~a total of 20,750 performance-based shares to three of ~~common stock under~~ the ~~2015 Plan that vested immediately.~~

Company’s executives in May 2021. The vesting for these performance-based shares is based on the compounded annual growth rate of the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow Per Share, as defined, for the three-year periods ending December 31, 2021, December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2023. For the 2021 period, one-sixth of such performance-based shares will vest on the anniversary date of the award if the Company’s annual Adjusted EBITDA for 2021 reflects at least 10% per annum growth since 2018, and one-sixth of such performance-based shares will vest on the anniversary date if the Company’s annual Free Cash Flow Per Share for 2021 reflects at least 12% per annum growth since 2018. Vesting of the performance-based shares is similar for the 2022 and 2023 periods.

As of September 30, ~~2017, we~~2021, the Company had ~~1,037,906~~1,740,478 share-based awards authorized by shareholders and available for grant from the 2015 Plan.

We estimated the fair value of each stock option award on the grant date using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. Changes in assumptions used can materially affect the fair value estimate. Option valuation assumptions for the options granted during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 included: an expected volatility range between 43.6% and 44.8%, an expected dividend yield of 0%, an expected term of 4.9 to 6.2 years, and an expected weighted-average risk-free rate of between 1.9% and 2.1%.

11. SEGMENT REPORTING

~~We manage our casinos~~ AND DISAGGREGATED REVENUE

The Company manages its reporting segments based on geographic regions within the United ~~States.~~States and type of income. Those 5 segments, as of 2021, are: Mississippi, Indiana, Colorado, Nevada, and Contracted Sports Wagering. The ~~casino/resort~~Company’s management views the states where each of its casino resorts are located as operating segments, in addition to its contracted sports wagering segment. Operating segments are aggregated based on their similar economic characteristics, types of customers, types of services and products provided, the regulatory environments in which they operate, and their management and reporting structure. During the first quarter of 2021, since it is a significantly different business than its core casino business, the Company changed the aggregation of its operations ~~include four segments: Silver Slipper Casino~~to present Contracted Sports Wagering as a separate segment. This change of the reportable segments reflects realignment within the Company stemming from the expansion of the Company’s contracted on-site and ~~Hotel (Hancock County, Mississippi); Rising Star Casino Resort (Rising Sun, Indiana); Bronco Billy's Casino~~online sports wagering skins. Additionally, this new segment breakout aims to enhance transparency of operations and ~~Hotel (Cripple Creek, Colorado); and~~allows for a more appropriate valuation of the ~~Northern Nevada segment, consisting of Grand Lodge Casino (Incline Village, Nevada) and Stockman’s Casino (Fallon, Nevada). Bronco Billy's Casino and Hotel was acquired on May 13, 2016.~~

Company’s various business components.

The Company utilizes Adjusted ~~Property~~Segment EBITDA as the measure of segment profit in assessing performance and allocating resources at the reportable segment level. Adjusted ~~Property~~Segment EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest and other non-operating income (expense), taxes, depreciation and amortization, ~~pre-opening~~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 ~~property.~~

segment. As a result of the change in reportable segments described above, the Company has recast previously-reported segment information to conform to the current presentation in the following tables for enhanced comparability, which had no effect on previously reported results of operations or financial position.

The following tables present the ~~Company's~~Company’s segment information:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Please see “Forward-Looking Statements” for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our historical financial statements and related notes thereto and the other disclosures contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2016,~~2020, which were included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ~~("SEC"~~(“SEC”) on March ~~17, 2017.~~12, 2021. The results of operations for the periods reflected herein are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for future periods. Full House Resorts, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, may be referred to as “Full ~~House”,~~House,” the ~~“Company”, “we”,~~“Company,” “we,” “our” or ~~“us”,~~“us,” except where stated or the context otherwise indicates.

Executive Overview

Our primary business is the ownership and/or operation of casino and related hospitality and entertainment facilities, which includes offering ~~gaming,~~casino gambling, hotel accommodations, dining, golf, RV camping, sports betting, entertainment, and retail ~~and~~outlets, among other amenities. We currently own ~~and/~~or operate five casino properties in four states -– Mississippi, Colorado, Indiana and ~~Nevada.~~Nevada – and are constructing a sixth casino hotel in Colorado. We view our Mississippi ~~Colorado~~ and Indiana properties as distinct operating segments, both of our Colorado properties (including our under-construction Chamonix Casino Hotel project, “Chamonix”) as an operating segment, and both of our Nevada properties as ~~one~~an operating segment.

~~Our portfolio consists~~ We also benefit from six permitted sports “skins” that we are allowed to operate, three in Colorado and three in Indiana. We have contracted with other companies to operate these online sports wagering sites under their own brands in exchange for a percentage of revenues, as defined, subject to annual minimum amounts. As of this report date, five of our six permitted skins have commenced operations.

During the ~~following:~~

first quarter of 2021, because it is a significantly different business from our core casinos, we changed the aggregation of our operations to present Contracted Sports Wagering as a separate segment. This enhances transparency of our operations and allows for a more appropriate valuation of our various business components.

The following table identifies our five segments, along with properties and their locations:


Segments and Properties		Locations

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 do provide credit at some of our casinos where we are permitted to 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 ~~gaming activities, which include~~ slot machines, but also include table games, keno, and ~~keno.~~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 ~~(at~~at Rising Star, ~~Casino Resort),~~our recreational vehicle parks (“RV parks”) as owned at Rising Star and managed at Silver Slipper, our ferry service at Rising Star, and retail outlets and ~~entertainment, and expect to derive additional revenues from our newly constructed projects as further described herein. Promotional allowances consist primarily of~~entertainment. We often provide hotel rooms, ~~and~~ food and beverages, ~~furnished~~

Table of Contents

entertainment, ferry usage, and golf privileges to customers on a complimentary ~~basis. The retail~~basis; the value of such services isare included as revenue in those categories, offset by contra-revenue in the ~~respective~~casino revenue ~~classifications~~category. As a result, the casino revenues in our financial statements reflect patron gaming wins and ~~is then deducted as promotional allowances~~losses, reduced by the retail value of complimentary services, the value of free play provided to ~~calculate net revenues.~~ customers, the value of points earned by casino customers that can be redeemed for services or free play, and accruals for certain progressive jackpots offered by the Company.

We may experience significant fluctuations in our quarterly operating results due to seasonality, variations in gaming hold percentages and other factors. Consequently, our operating results for any quarter or year are not necessarily comparable and may not be indicative of future periods’ results.

~~The casino resort industry~~

Our market environment is ~~capital-intensive,~~highly competitive and capital-intensive. Nevertheless, there are significant restrictions and barriers to entry vis-à-vis opening new casinos in most of the markets in which we operate. We rely on the ability of our properties to generate operating cash flow to pay interest, repay debt, and fund maintenance and certain growth-related capital expenditures. We continuously focus on improving the operating margins of our existing properties through a combination of revenue growth and expense management. We also assess growth and development opportunities, which include capital investments at our existing properties, the development of new properties, and the acquisition of existing properties.

Recent Developments

COVID-19 Pandemic Update. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus as a pandemic (“COVID-19”). Although COVID-19 continues to spread throughout the U.S. and the world, vaccines designed to inhibit the severity and the spread of COVID-19 are now being distributed. As a result, the number of newly-reported cases has declined in the U.S. in recent weeks, though new variants could result in a reversal of these trends. For example, the Delta variant of COVID-19 resulted in large increases in the number of COVID-19 cases as it spread globally. COVID-19 has resulted in the implementation of significant, government-imposed measures to prevent or reduce its spread, including travel restrictions, business restrictions, closing of borders, “shelter-in-place” orders and business closures. In March 2020, pursuant to state government orders to prevent the spread of COVID-19, we temporarily closed all of our casino properties. As a result, we experienced a material decline in our revenues until our properties reopened when permitted by local authorities in May and June 2020.

During the shutdown period, we evaluated labor, marketing and other costs at our businesses so that, upon reopening, our properties could reopen with significantly lower operating costs. As a result, our operating performance since reopening in mid-2020 has been stronger than pre-pandemic levels, despite capacity restrictions throughout our casinos and in our restaurants and certain pandemic-related costs. The extent to which our financial and operating results in future periods may be affected by COVID-19, including the Delta or other variants, will largely depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted at this time. Significant uncertainties include the ability to operate; new information which may emerge concerning new strains of COVID-19 and their severity; vaccination rates among the population; the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines against variants; any additional actions imposed by governmental authorities (including the potential mandated vaccination or repeated testing of our employees) to contain or minimize the impact of COVID-19 and any variants; increased operating costs and capacity restrictions as a result of COVID-19; increased costs for materials due to supply chain constraints; and general economic conditions, among others.

The disruptions arising from COVID-19 continued to impact us during the nine-months ended September 30, 2021. The duration and intensity of this global health emergency and related disruptions are uncertain. While each of our properties are currently open and operating restrictions continued to ease during the third quarter of 2021, the current economic and regulatory environment in each of our jurisdictions continues to evolve. For example, mask mandates for all employees and guests were re-introduced at our Nevada properties in July 2021 in compliance with recent orders from Nevada state government officials and, in November 2021, new national rules were announced that would require employers with more than 100 employees to ensure their workers are vaccinated against COVID-19 or undergo weekly testing. The manner in which governments will react as the global and regional impact of the COVID-19 pandemic changes over time is uncertain, and such actions could significantly alter our current operations.

The proceeds were used to redeem all $106.8 million of our senior secured notes due 2024 (the “Prior Notes”) and to repurchase all outstanding warrants. Additionally, $180 million of bond proceeds were placed in a construction reserve account to fund our Chamonix project, including designing, developing, constructing, equipping and opening the project. Proceeds were also used to pay the transaction fees and expenses related to the offering, leaving approximately $8 million added to our unrestricted cash balances.

On March 31, 2021, we entered into a credit agreement among Full House Resorts, Inc., as borrower, the lenders party thereto, and Capital One, National Association, as administrative agent. The credit agreement provides for a $15.0 million, five-year, senior secured revolving credit facility and includes a letter of credit sub-facility, which may be used for working capital and other ongoing general purposes.

Underwritten Equity Offering. On March 29, 2021, pursuant to an underwritten public offering (the “Equity Offering”), we issued an aggregate of 6,917,250 shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), including 902,250 shares of Common Stock sold pursuant to the Representative’s exercise of a “greenshoe” option to purchase additional shares of Common Stock to cover over-allotments. The price to the public in the Equity Offering was $6.65 per share of Common Stock. The gross proceeds to the Company were approximately $46.0 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and our estimated offering expenses. We intend to use the net proceeds from the Equity Offering for development, working capital and general corporate purposes.

Chamonix Casino Hotel Project. In 2018, we began planning and design work on Chamonix, a new and distinct luxury hotel and casino located adjacent to our existing Bronco Billy’s casino. Reflecting changes made to the state’s gaming laws in November 2020, including the elimination of betting limits and the approval of new table games, we increased the size of the Chamonix plans by 67% to approximately 300 luxury guest rooms and suites, from our previously-planned 180 guest rooms. Such plans were approved by the Cripple Creek Historic Preservation Commission and Cripple Creek City Council in January and February 2021.

We recently completed the major portion of the on-site utility work, and are currently installing footings and structural walls for the hotel towers. Vertical construction is expected to commence within the coming weeks. The three principal guestroom towers are anticipated to “top out” between April and August 2022. The project includes a new casino, approximately 300 luxury guest rooms and suites, parking garage, meeting and entertainment space, outdoor rooftop pool, spa, and fine-dining restaurant. It is still relatively early in the construction process, so estimates of cost and completion dates still contain substantial uncertainty. While the price and availability of construction materials and labor have been volatile due to COVID-19-related supply chain issues, tariffs, and other factors, we are in the process of completing the bidding for a substantial portion of the construction budget, which reduces such uncertainty.

We anticipate requesting an amendment to our development agreement with the City of Cripple Creek to allow for the project’s completion as late as July 15, 2023, versus the current date in such agreement of December 31, 2022. We believe that such request will be facilitated, although there is no certainty that this will be the case.

The development plan for our Chamonix site allows us to add an additional hotel wing at some future date. That additional wing, if constructed, would increase the total capacity of our hotel by 23%, to approximately 370 guestrooms. Such addition requires approvals from the Cripple Creek Historic Preservation Commission and Cripple Creek City Council. There can be no assurance that we will obtain such approvals and choose to further expand our Chamonix project. Management recently decided to defer consideration of such expansion until after the completion of Chamonix’s construction.

Sports Wagering in Colorado and Indiana. Under state laws, we are permitted a total of six sports wagering “skins,” three in Colorado and three in Indiana. As of March 31, 2021, three of our six sports wagering skins had commenced operations. The fourth and fifth skins commenced operations on April 1and April 23, 2021, respectively. We believe that the Company’s last remaining skin will commence operations in the coming months. We receive a percentage of defined revenues of each skin, subject to annual minimums. When all six skins are in operation, we should receive a contractual minimum of $7 million per year of sports gaming revenues, with minimal related expenses.

Terre Haute Proposal (American Place in Indiana). In September 2021, in response to an application process launched by the Indiana Gaming Commission (“IGC”), we submitted a proposal for a gaming and entertainment destination for Terre Haute, Indiana. Named “American Place,” it would be developed on 32 acres of land that we currently have under contract. The site is located approximately one hour west of Indianapolis and within 100 miles of Champaign-Urbana and Decatur, Illinois, as well as Lafayette, Indiana. It is highly visible from Interstate 70 and convenient to the I-70/SR 46 interchange.

Our proposed design is unique in several respects. The four-star, 100-room hotel will be elevated above an interior greenscape, in a shape resembling a “happy smile.” The hotel will appear to float above a fountain that will surround its base. This design will allow a majority of the guest rooms to be located on upper levels and to enjoy extended views. Atop the hotel will be a pool deck and restaurant, featuring sushi and robata grill entrees, overlooking the Wabash Valley. Along the busy neighboring freeway, we plan to build a large greenhouse, offering a lush interior environment. Within the greenhouse, the project would have two restaurants that offer “outdoor” dining, even in winter, as well as venues for weddings and other group events. The world-class casino would be located between the hotel and the greenhouse and offer approximately 1,000 slot machines, 50 table games, and a state-of-the-art sportsbook. Atop the casino, we have planned for a solar energy farm, which would provide green, sustainable energy for a portion of the complex’s electrical needs.

We are slated to present our American Place proposal to the IGC on November 17. The IGC has indicated that it expects to select its favored proposal from the four submittals on that same day. If awarded the gaming license, we have proposed to operate a temporary casino during construction of the larger permanent facility, subject to IGC approval. However, we can provide no assurances as to the timing or certainty that our project will be chosen by the IGC for the available gaming license in Terre Haute.

Waukegan Proposal (American Place in Illinois). In October 2019, we submitted a proposal to the Illinois Gaming Board (“IGB”) to develop and operate a casino and entertainment destination in Waukegan, Illinois, also to be named American Place. It would include a world-class casino with a state-of-the-art sports book; a premium boutique hotel comprised of 20 villas, each ranging from 1,500 to 2,500 square feet with full butler service; a 1,500-seat live entertainment venue; a gourmet restaurant; additional eateries and bars; and other amenities designed to attract gaming and non-gaming patrons from throughout Chicagoland and beyond. A second phase of American Place is expected to include a four-star hotel with 150 rooms.

We are one of two finalists, each of which presented the merits of its Waukegan proposal to the IGB in October 2021. The IGB has indicated that it expects to select its favored developer for the Waukegan gaming license by early January 2022. If selected, we intend to operate a temporary casino during construction of the larger permanent facility. However, we can provide no assurances as to the timing or certainty that our project will be chosen by the IGB for the available gaming license in Waukegan.

Key Performance Indicators

We use several key performance indicators to evaluate the operations of our properties. These key operating measures are presented as supplemental disclosures because management uses these measures to better understand period-over-period fluctuations in our casino and hotel operating revenues. These key performance indicators include the ~~following:~~

following and are disclosed in our discussions, where applicable, for certain jurisdictions on segment performance:

Gaming revenue indicators:

Slot coin-in is the gross dollar amount wagered in slot machines and table game drop is the total amount of cash or credit exchanged into chips at table games for use by our customers. Slot coin-in and table game drop are indicators of ~~volume.~~

volume, and are monitored on a consolidated basis in relation to slot and table game win. Such metrics can be influenced by marketing activity and, since reopening our properties, have not necessarily been indicative of profitability trends.

Slot win is the difference between customer wagers and customer winnings on slot machines. Table game hold is the difference between the amount of money or markers exchanged into chips ~~at the tables~~ and customer winnings paid. Slot win and table game hold percentages represent the relationship between slot win and coin-in and table game win and drop. Both the win/hold and win/hold percentages are monitored on a consolidated basis in our evaluation of Company performance.

Room revenue indicators:

Hotel occupancy rate is an indicator of the utilization of our available rooms. Complimentary room sales, or the retail value of accommodations gratuitously furnished to customers, are included in the calculation of the hotel occupancy rate.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted ~~Property~~Segment EBITDA and Adjusted ~~Property~~Segment EBITDA Margin:

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of ~~the Company's~~our performance. For a description of Adjusted EBITDA, see ~~"Non-GAAP~~“Non-GAAP Financial ~~Measure". The Company utilizes~~Measure.” We utilize Adjusted ~~Property~~Segment EBITDA, a financial measure in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), as the measure of segment profit in assessing performance and allocating resources at the reportable segment level. For information regarding our operating segments, see Note 1011 of our Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this quarterly report. In addition, we use Adjusted ~~Property~~Segment EBITDA Margin, which is calculated by dividing Adjusted ~~Property~~Segment EBITDA by the ~~property's net~~segment’s total revenues.

The following discussion is based on our consolidated financial statements for the three- and nine-months ended September 30, ~~2017~~2021 and ~~2016. The results of Bronco Billy's is included beginning May 13, 2016, subsequent to the beginning~~2020. Because all of the ~~prior year~~Company’s operations were temporarily closed for several months during the 2020 period, the comparisons for the nine-month ~~comparative period.~~

periods are not particularly meaningful. The periods of closure were:

●

Silver Slipper Casino and Hotel ― closed from March 16, 2020 until May 21, 2020

●

Grand Lodge Casino and Stockman’s Casino ― closed from March 17, 2020 until June 4, 2020

●

Bronco Billy’s Casino and Hotel ― closed from March 17, 2020 until June 15, 2020

●

Rising Star Casino Resort ― closed from March 16, 2020 until June 15, 2020.

Revenues.Consolidated ~~net~~total revenues for the ~~three-month~~three-months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 both reflect a full quarter of reopened operations. Growth in the 2021 period was due to improved results from our Mississippi and Nevada segments and the sale of “free play” that Indiana’s casinos are permitted to transfer to other casino operators within the state, partially offset by the temporary closure of Silver Slipper due to the passage of Hurricane Ida in August 2021 and the impact of wildfires in communities near Grand Lodge Casino, including over the 2021 Labor Day holiday weekend. Of note, “Other Non-casino Revenues” includes $1.6 million of revenue related to our Contracted Sports Wagering segment, compared to $0.7 million in the prior-year period. Currently, five of the Company’s six permitted sports wagering “skins” in Indiana and Colorado are live.

Consolidated total revenues for the nine-months ended September 30, 2021 reflect a gradual relaxation of pandemic-related restrictions since our reopening in mid-2020, after approximately three months of closure due to the pandemic. Growth during this nine-month period was due to stronger operational performance at Silver Slipper, our sale of “free play” at Rising Star, and the commencement of three additional Sports Agreements (compared to two that were live in the prior-year period). “Other Non-casino Revenues” includes $4.2 million of revenue related to our contracted sports wagering agreements for the nine-months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $1.6 million in the prior-year period. See “Operating Results – Reportable Segments” below for details.

Operating Expenses. Consolidated operating expenses for the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2021 increased from the prior-year periods, as our workforce was temporarily and dramatically reduced in size for several months during the 2020 closure period. Upon reopening, we improved operating efficiencies at all of our properties, ~~including 9.6% at Silver Slipper, 7.1% in Northern Nevada and 5.8% at Bronco Billy's.~~

~~Consolidated net revenues for the nine-month period increased due~~ in part by better matching customer demand with the operating hours of our food and beverage and table games departments. We also significantly reduced our marketing expenses upon reopening, benefiting from analytics provided by new slot marketing systems installed in late 2019. These changes affected marketing, payroll and related expenses across all departments at the Company, as well as numerous volume-related costs, such as our cost of the food and beverages served to guests. Note that payroll and related expenses during the ~~inclusion~~2020 period included a brief period of ~~Bronco Billy's~~continuing payroll, health care, and related costs for most of our employees as severance, despite the ~~full period. Excluding Bronco Billy's, our consolidated net revenues increased 6.1%, led by 11.7% at Silver Slipper and 1.8% at Rising Star, while Northern Nevada was flat.~~

closure of all of the Company’s properties in mid-March 2020.

See further information within our reportable segmentsdescribed below.

~~Operating Expenses.~~ Consolidated operating expenses for the three-month period increased 3.6% due primarily to increased promotional activity and customer traffic at Silver Slipper. The increase in costs was partially offset by the receipt of legal settlement proceeds to resolve the Silver Slipper parking garage litigation.

Consolidated operating expenses for the nine-month period increased 13.0% primarily due to the inclusion of Bronco Billy's for the full period. Excluding Bronco Billy's, our operating expenses increased 4.6%, primarily related to the factors described above at Silver Slipper. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in project development and acquisition costs from the Bronco Billy's transaction during 2016.

The ~~increase~~increases in interest ~~cost~~expense for the three- and nine-month ~~period was~~periods were primarily due to ~~the~~an increase in our debt ~~refinancing completed on May 13, 2016, which resulted in $35~~levels. In February 2021, we refinanced approximately $106.8 million of ~~additional~~the Prior Notes with $310.0 million of new 2028 Notes for, among other reasons, the funding of our Chamonix project, as discussed under “Recent Developments.” The interest rate on the Prior Notes was LIBOR plus 7 percentage points, with a 1% LIBOR floor, resulting in a floating rate of interest that was near the fixed rate coupon of 8.25% on our new debt. The new debt ~~used primarily to fund~~also has a significantly longer term and fewer covenants than the ~~purchase of Bronco Billy's.~~

Prior Notes.

Other Non-Operating Expenses, Net

For the three-month ~~periods~~period ended September 30, ~~2017 and September 30, 2016, the Company had $0.3 million of~~2021, we have no other non-operating ~~expense and $0.2 million of non-operating income, respectively, due to the change in fair value of the stock warrants. For~~items. Such amount for the nine-month period ended September 30, ~~2017, we incurred $0.3~~2021 totaled $7.5 million, including $6.1 million related to the extinguishment of ~~non-operating~~our Prior Notes and $1.3 million for the fair value adjustment to our outstanding warrants, which were repurchased in February 2021. The fair value adjustment reflected an increase in the warrant expense from $2.7 million at December 31, 2020, when the ~~change~~Company’s stock traded at lower prices, to their actual repurchase price of $4.0 million. For the prior-year’s nine-month period, non-operating expenses included a non-cash benefit of $1.2 million for the fair value adjustment of the warrants. While the warrants were outstanding, increases in ~~fair~~our share price resulted in increases in the value of the ~~stock warrants; this amount compares to $0.7 million incurred during~~warrants, causing non-cash expense. Conversely, decreases in our share price resulted in decreases in the ~~prior-year period,~~value of the ~~decrease resulting primarily from debt modification costs associated with the debt refinancing during 2016.~~

warrants, causing non-cash income.

Income Tax Expense. ~~Income~~ We recognized income tax ~~expense was $0.2~~provisions of approximately $95,000 and $0.4 million ~~during each of~~for the ~~three-month periods~~three- and nine-months ended September 30, ~~2017~~2021, which resulted in effective income tax rates of 2.0% and ~~2016, and was $0.6 million and $0.5 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016,~~5.4%, respectively. During 2017, we continued to provide a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets, net of any available deferred tax liabilities. In future years, if it is determined that we meet the "more likely than not" threshold of utilizing our deferred tax assets, we may reverse some or all of our valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets.

We do not expect to pay any federal income taxes or receive any federal tax refunds related to our ~~2017~~2021 results. ~~Tax~~As we have incurred significant losses ~~incurred~~ in ~~2017 may shelter~~prior periods, we anticipate current-year taxable income will be offset by tax loss carryforwards from prior years. Due in ~~future years. However, because~~part to recent profit trends, we continue to evaluate the realizability of ~~the level of uncertainty regarding sufficient prospective income, we maintain~~our deferred tax assets and need for a valuation allowance ~~against our remaining deferred tax assets, as mentioned above.~~

on a quarterly basis. In accordance with ASC 740, if we continue to have increased profitability in upcoming periods, then management may conclude a reduction in the valuation allowance is necessary.

Mississippi

Our Mississippi segment consists of the Silver Slipper Casino and ~~Hotel~~

~~The net revenue increases during~~Hotel. Pursuant to a pandemic-related order from the ~~three- and nine-month periods~~state gaming commission, we temporarily suspended operations for a portion of the prior-year period, from March 16, 2020 through May 21, 2020.

For the three-months ended September 30, ~~2017 compared to the prior-year periods were attributed to successful marketing and food and beverage promotions that resulted in increases in both customer~~

~~counts and gaming volumes. Slot~~2021, total revenues increased ~~6.5% during~~by 7.9%, a result of numerous investments in the ~~quarter~~property in recent years. Such investments included a substantial renovation of the casino and ~~10.6% during~~ the ~~nine-month~~buffet, a renovated porte cochere, repainted exterior, new energy-efficient building signage, the Beach Club, the Oyster Bar, and the introduction of on-site sports betting. For the nine-months ended September 30, 2021, total revenues increased by 54.2%, as the 2020 period ~~with both slot coin-in and slot hold percentage rising in 2017. Table games~~was impacted by more than two months of closure.

Casino revenue increased ~~15.1%~~4.3% and 2.5% for the three- and nine-month periods, with the increase for the three-month period primarily due to a higher hold percentage. Non-gaming net revenues (principally food and beverage revenues) grew 27.6% during the quarter and 29.3% during the nine-month period due to certain promotions offered by the property and the opening of a new restaurant in July 2017. Our hotel occupancy was 89.3% compared to 88.0% in the prior-year nine-month period. The growth was achieved despite Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, which were in the Gulf of Mexico and came ashore to the west and east of the property, respectively. The storms did not affect the property directly, but caused weak periods during the quarter, as customers were distracted by the potential storm routes. Flooding in parts of Louisiana similarly affected results in the prior-year period.

~~Adjusted Property EBITDA~~60.0% for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 compared to the prior-year periods increased primarily from the increase in net revenues described above along with the legal settlement related to our parking garage litigation described below. Our casino expenses and food and beverage costs increased due to2021, respectively, largely driven by increases in ~~both volumes~~slot revenue. Slot revenue rose by 6.2% and ~~promotions. For the quarter, our Adjusted Property EBITDA Margin increased to 18.6% from 15.4% in the prior-year quarter, and~~59.8% for the ~~nine-month period increased to 18.2% from 16.5% in the prior-year period.~~

During September 2017, we settled litigation involving construction defects at our parking garage. The contractor and contractor's insurance company paid the Company $675,000 in exchange for a mutual release of claims and counterclaims. The settlement, which was recorded as a reduction to selling, general and administrative costs, effectively reimbursed the Company for costs incurred in pursuing those claims including $561,000 of legal fees. See Note 7 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the lawsuit.

In late-June 2017, we opened a new oyster bar on the casino floor. Additionally, during the third quarter of 2017, we opened a swimming pool and beach complex along the property's white sand beach. See ~~Liquidity and Capital Resources - Capital Investments~~ ~~for further information.~~

~~Rising Star Casino Resort~~

~~Net revenues increased modestly during the~~respective three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, ~~2017 compared~~2021. Table games revenue decreased by 12.2% for the three-month period, mostly due to a lower table games hold percentage. However, for the ~~prior-year~~nine-month period, table games revenue increased by 45.7% due to higher volumes, reflecting a full period of operations in 2021. Other casino revenues increased by $134,000 and $1.2 million for the respective three- and nine-month periods, primarily from our sports book operations.

Non-casino revenue increased by 16.1% and 42.4% for the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2021, driven by revenue growth from our food and beverage outlets of 21.9% and 44.5%, respectively, which historically account for a majority of our non-casino revenue. Hotel revenues decreased slightly by 4.2% for the three-month period due to lower average daily room rates, but increased by 30.2% for the nine-months ended September 30, 2021 due to an increase in ~~table games revenue.~~occupied room-nights. Total occupied room-nights was flat at 10,706 room-nights for the third quarter of 2021, and increased by 38.1% to 32,079 room-nights for the nine-month period, reflecting the temporary closure of Silver Slipper last year.

Adjusted Segment EBITDA for the three-months ended September 30, 2021 was flat at $6.5 million, despite the temporary closure of the property due to the passage of Hurricane Ida in August 2021, when the property incurred additional costs to prepare for closure and for cleanup efforts. Adjusted Segment EBITDA for the nine-months ended September 30, 2021 increased by 142.5%, driven by the increase in revenues described above, our focus on controlling labor and marketing costs upon the property’s reopening, and the approximately two-month closure in the prior-year period.

Indiana

Our Indiana segment consists of Rising Star Casino Resort. Pursuant to a pandemic-related order from the state gaming commission, we temporarily suspended operations for a portion of the prior-year period, from March 16, 2020 through June 15, 2020.

For the three-months ended September 30, 2021, total revenues increased by 31.6%, reflecting the relaxation of pandemic-related restrictions in the 2021 period. For the nine-months ended September 30, 2021, total revenues increased by 67.0%, as volumes during the 2020 period were impacted by approximately three months of closure.

Casino revenue increased by 9.8% and 60.1% for the respective three- and nine-month periods, driven mainly by slot revenue that increased by 8.4% (or $0.5 million) and 60.5% (or $7.4 million) for the corresponding periods. Table games ~~revenues~~revenue also meaningfully increased, ~~18.7%~~up 21.7% (or $0.2 million) and ~~8.0% during~~57.5% (or $1.0 million) for the three- and ~~nine- month periods, while slot~~nine-months ended September 30, 2021.

Non-casino revenue increased by 98.2% and 86.3% for the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to the sale of “free play” for $2.1 million during the quarter, as well as from hotel operations during the nine-month period. Hotel revenues ~~and non-gaming net revenues were flat during both periods. Our hotel occupancy was 88.5% compared to 86.3%~~declined slightly by 4.3% (or $44,000) in the ~~prior-year~~third quarter of 2021 due to a 13.7% reduction in occupied room-nights, but increased by 51.2% (or $1.1 million) for the nine-month ~~period.~~period due to higher average daily room rates. Food and beverage revenues continued to improve, especially as capacity restrictions continue to ease in 2021.

The Company has similarly sold its excess free play in prior years, but generally in the fourth quarter.

Colorado

Our Colorado segment includes Bronco Billy’s Casino and Hotel and the Chamonix project. Pursuant to pandemic-related state orders, we temporarily closed Bronco Billy’s for a portion of the prior-year period, ~~Adjusted Property EBITDA increased 7.6% primarily attributed~~from March 17, 2020 through June 15, 2020.

For the three-months ended September 30, 2021, total revenues decreased by 16.9%, as operations at Bronco Billy’s were impacted by the loss of all of the property’s on-site parking and many of its hotel rooms due to ~~higher revenues.

For the nine-month period, ~~versus 6.7%~~total revenues increased by 30.7%, as volumes during the 2020 period were impacted by approximately three months of closure. To alleviate the lack of on-site parking, we introduced complimentary valet parking, as well as a free shuttle service to an off-site parking lot.

Casino revenue decreased by 23.0% for the three-months ended September 30, 2021, but increased by 30.5% for the nine-month period. These changes were largely due to slot revenue, which decreased by 26.2% and increased by 30.4% for the respective periods. Table games revenue increased by $222,000 for the third quarter and by 35.5% for the nine-month period, as table games operations were not permitted to reopen in Cripple Creek until February 2021.

Non-casino revenue consists of food and beverage revenue. Food and beverage revenues increased by 46.5% and 30.7% for the ~~prior-year period.~~

~~During~~respective three- and nine-month periods, though limitations on seating and reduced operating hours continued for much of the third quarter of ~~2017, we opened our 56-space RV Park.

Nevada

Net revenues increased during the three-month period ended September 30, 2017 compared to the prior-year period primarily reflecting an 8.6% increase in slot revenues. Revenues from table games remained flat. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 compared to the prior-year period, net revenues were flat despite significant business interruption due to renovation construction activity at Grand Lodge Casino during the first and second quarters of 2017.

Adjusted Property EBITDA during the three-month period ended September 30, 2017 compared to the prior-year period increased slightly primarily due to the revenue increase described above, partially offset by increased promotional and marketing costs. Adjusted Property EBITDA Margin for the quarter was 26.7% compared to 28.1% in the prior-year quarter.

Adjusted Property EBITDA during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 compared to the prior-year period decreased 26.6% due to the renovation work during the first and second quarters, when up to two-thirds of the casino was closed for construction work, as well as increases in promotional costs and salaries and benefits. Adjusted Property EBITDA Margin for the nine-month period decreased to 14.7% from 20.1% in the prior-year period.

~~On June 30, 2017, we in conjunction with our landlord, completed the approximately $5 million renovation~~

The Nevada segment consists of the Grand Lodge ~~Casino. The renovation included new decor~~ and ~~lighting throughout the casino, along with numerous new slot machines, table games,~~Stockman’s casinos. Pursuant to pandemic-related state orders, we temporarily closed both Grand Lodge Casino and ~~slot and table chairs. We believe these changes materially improve the ambiance~~Stockman’s Casino for a portion of the casino floor and the overall guest experience. The renovation began during February 2017 and caused us to close portions of our casino floor, which impacted our second quarter financial results. The renovation was completed on-budget and in accordance with our planned construction schedule prior to the start of our busy summer season.

~~The Company's Northern~~prior-year period, from March 17, 2020 through June 4, 2020.

Our Nevada operations have historically been seasonal, with the summer months accounting for a disproportionate share of ~~its~~ annual revenues. Additionally, snowfall levels during the winter months ~~also frequently have a positive or negative effect.~~can often affect operations, as Grand Lodge Casino is located near several major ski ~~resorts, including Alpine Meadows, Northstar and Squaw Valley.

The 2020 period was affected by the mandated closure of ~~2017, however,~~our casinos.

For the ~~snowfall was exceptional (one~~three-months ended September 30, 2021, total revenues increased by 24.8%, or $1.0million. Stockman’s Casino continued to benefit from the relaxation of pandemic-related restrictions, including at the highest in recorded Lake Tahoe history), resulting in extended periods of road closures and power outages. Nevertheless, we believe that the favorable ski season helped offset part of the construction disruption atnearby Naval air station. Grand Lodge Casino was adversely affected in the 2021 third quarter by a lower table games hold percentage and smoke from significant wildfires in the region, including over the Labor Day holiday weekend. For the nine-month period, revenues increased by 71.1%, or $5.9 million, due to higher volumes in 2021, as the prior-year periods were impacted by approximately three months of closure.

Casino revenues increased by 22.4%, or $0.9 million, for the third quarter and rose by 74.2%, or $5.6 million, for the nine-month period. Much of that increase was from slot revenue, which grew by $1.3 million and $5.1 million for the three- and nine-month periods, respectively. For the three-months ended September 30, 2021, table games revenue declined by $0.4 million as Grand Lodge Casino’s results were adversely affected by a table games hold percentage that was 8.4 percentage points lower than the three-year average hold percentage. However, for the nine-months ended September 30, 2021, table games revenue rose by $0.4 million due to a higher hold percentage at Grand Lodge. Table games were not open at Stockman’s during the 2021 periods.

Adjusted Segment EBITDA for the three-months ended September 30, 2021 increased by $0.5 million to $1.5 million. For the nine-months ended September 30, 2021, it increased by $4.1 million to $4.2 million. Both higher casino revenues and continued cost controls, specifically regarding labor and marketing expenses, have benefited operating results. As restrictions have eased in Nevada, both properties have improved revenues while continuing to maintain control of expenses.

Contracted Sports Wagering

The Contracted Sports Wagering segment consists of our ~~renovation discussed above.~~on-site and online sports wagering skins in Colorado and Indiana. Revenues and Adjusted Segment EBITDA were both approximately $1.6 million during the three-months ended September 30, 2021, and approximately $4.2 million and $4.1 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Our fourth and fifth sports wagering skins commenced operations on April 1 and April 23, 2021, resulting in sequential growth in both revenues and Adjusted Segment EBITDA. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2020, when only two sports wagering skins were live, revenues and Adjusted Segment EBITDA were both approximately $0.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively. During the nine-months ended September 30, 2020, revenues and Adjusted Segment EBITDA were approximately $1.6 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

We receive a percentage of defined revenues of each skin, subject to annual minimums. When all six skins are in operation, we should receive a contractual minimum of $7 million on an annualized basis, with minimal related expenses.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

“Adjusted EBITDA” is 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, and non-cash share-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA information is presented solely as supplemental disclosure to measures reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) because management believes ~~these measures are (1)~~this measure is (i) a widely used ~~measures~~measure of operating performance in the gaming and hospitality industries ~~(2)~~and (ii) a principal basis for valuation of gaming and hospitality ~~companies, and (3) are~~companies. In addition, a version of Adjusted EBITDA (known as Consolidated Cash Flow) is utilized in the covenants within our ~~debt agreements,~~credit facility, although not necessarily defined in the same way as above. Adjusted EBITDA is not, however, a measure of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP. Accordingly, ~~these measures~~this measure should be considered supplemental and not a substitute for net income (loss) or cash flows as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance or liquidity.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

As of September 30, ~~2017,~~2021, we had $22.4 million of unrestricted cash and equivalents and our $2 million Revolving Loan under our First Lien Credit Facility was undrawn and fully available. Our ability to draw on our Revolving Loan is subject to, among other terms, our continued ability to meet our various financial covenants. Management estimates that approximately $12$274.5 million of cash and equivalents, including $176.6 million of restricted cash dedicated to the construction of Chamonix. We estimate that between approximately $7 million and $9 million of cash is ~~currently required for the~~used in our current day-to-day operations, ofincluding for on-site cash in our slot machines, change and redemption kiosks, and cages. We believe that current cash balances, together with the ~~Company.~~

Subject to financial, economic, competitive, regulatory~~ and other uncertainties, many beyond our control, we believe that adequate financial resources (including from existing cash balances, operating cash flows and available credit) will be available to fund ongoing operating requirements overcapital resource needs for the next 12 months. However, we may need to refinance our debt and/or seek additional debt and/or equity financing to compete effectively and/or grow our business. Management is reviewing market conditions and exploring financing or refinancing alternatives, though there can be no assurancesmonths of ~~our ability to obtain any additional financing, refinance our existing debt, or fund growth efforts and to continue to expand.~~

Additionally, we received approximately $1.3 million of insurance proceeds during 2021 related to repairs for property damage sustained at Silver Slipper from Hurricane Zeta in October 2020. We expect to settle our remaining insurance claims related to such storm in the fourth quarter of 2021. The temporary closure of our properties in Spring 2020 affected operating cash flows in the 2020 period.

Cash flows – investing activities.On a consolidated basis, cash used in investing activities during the ~~nine months~~nine-months ended September 30, ~~2017~~2021 was ~~$9.1~~$18.0 million, which primarily related to ~~several growth projects~~capital expenditures for Chamonix and real estate purchases in Cripple Creek.

The First Lien and Second Lien Credit Facilities require that we maintain specified financial covenants, including a total leverage ratio, a first lien leverage ratio, and a fixed charge coverage ratio, all of which measure Adjusted EBITDA against outstanding debt and fixed charges (as defined in the agreements). Adjusted EBITDA includes results for Bronco Billy's as if it were owned for the entire measurement period. During the period September 30, 2017 through and including March 30, 2018, we are required to maintain (i) with respectowe $3.4 million related to our ~~First Lien Credit Facility,~~finance lease of a ~~maximum total leverage ratio~~hotel at Rising Star.

~~Rising Star Casino Resort~~ -Chamonix in 2021 and more than $130 million in 2022, though some of these payments may not occur until early 2023 due to the timing of accounts payable and construction retainage amounts, and potential construction delays caused by challenges created by COVID-19. We ~~are making significant improvements (approximately $5 million) at Rising Star, including:~~

~~Construction of a 56-space RV park, which was completed during the third quarter of 2017;~~

~~Renovation of approximately 71 of the hotel's guest rooms that had not been refurbished under an earlier refurbishment program. The refurbishment is expected to be completed in 2018;~~

Implementation of a 10-vehicle ferry boat service to Kentucky, which will significantly shorten the distance for customers traveling from Kentucky to Rising Star.

~~Improvements to the entry pavilion and the hotel's lobby and hallways in early 2018; and~~

~~Refurbishment of a portion of the casino to include a VIP room and sense-of-arrival improvements estimated to be completed in 2018.~~

As of September 30, 2017, we had invested a total of approximately $3.0 million with respect to the foregoing improvements at Rising Star, primarily for the RV park, hotel remodel and ferry boat. We currently anticipate investing an additional $0.4 million during the remainder of 2017 and the balance in 2018.

~~Grand Lodge Casino -~~ During 2017, we purchased new gaming devices and equipment and made other capital expenditures alongside certain enhancements funded by our landlord. The Company and the landlord completed the refurbishment in June 2017.

~~Stockman's Casino~~ - During 2016 and 2017, we began improving the property's exterior, including its landscaping, ease of access, parking lot, digital marquee, and new porte cochère. The parking lot and a new digital marquee sign were completed during the fourth quarter of 2016, landscaping improvements were completed during the third quarter of 2017, and a new porte cochère is slated for completion during the fourth quarter of 2017. We anticipate constructing new administrative offices in 2018.

~~Silver Slipper~~ - In late-June 2017, we opened a new 18-seat oyster bar in the casino. Additionally, during the third quarter of 2017, we opened our new swimming pool and beach complex along the white sand beach fronting the property and made certain

~~improvements to traffic patterns and landscaping around the front of the property. We invested approximately $1.3 million related to these improvements.~~

~~Bronco Billy's~~ - During the third quarter of 2017, we converted an underutilized bar at a key location on the property into a new food and beverage concept named the Crippled Cow. The Crippled Cow offers signature coffee, wood-fired pizzas and micro-brewed beers.

~~We also acquired land and options to purchase land (including a closed casino and a small operating hotel) whereby a high-quality hotel may be~~ potentially, ~~constructed at this property. We are considering re-opening the closed casino.~~

Other Capital Expenditures. Additionally, we may fund various other ~~various~~ capital expenditure projects, depending on our financial resources. Our capital expenditures may fluctuate due to decisions regarding strategic capital investments in new or existing facilities, and the timing of capital investments to maintain the quality of our properties. No assurance can be given that any of our planned capital expenditure projects will be completed or that any completed projects will be successful.

Our annual capital expenditures typically include some number of new slot machines and related equipment; to some extent, we can coordinate such purchases to match our resources.

We evaluate projects based on a number of factors, including profitability forecasts, length of the development period, the regulatory and political environment, and the ability to secure the funding necessary to complete the development or acquisition, among other considerations. No assurance can be given that any additional projects will be pursued or completed or that any completed projects will be successful.

●

Marine transportation is inherently risky, and insurance may be insufficient to cover losses that may occur to our assets or result from our ferry boat operations.

●

We derive our revenues and operating income from our casino resort properties located in Mississippi, Colorado, Indiana and Nevada, and are especially subject to certain risks, including economic and competitive risks, associated with the conditions in those areas and in the states from which we draw patrons.

●

If the lessor of Grand Lodge Casino exercises its buyout rights or if we default on this or on certain other leases, the applicable lessors could terminate the affected leases and we could lose possession of the affected casino.

●

Adverse weather conditions, road construction, gasoline shortages and other factors affecting our facilities and the areas in which we operate could make it more difficult for potential customers to travel to our properties and deter customers from visiting our properties.

●

We are often involved in one or more construction and development projects, including the new Chamonix Casino Hotel, and many factors could prevent us from completing them as planned.

●

There is no certainty that such resources will be available.

●

There is no assurance that the new Chamonix Casino Hotel will not be subject to additional regulatory restrictions, delays, or challenges.

●

Failure to obtain necessary government approvals in a timely manner, or at all.

Insufficient or lower-than-expected results generated from our new developments and acquired properties.

Risks Related to our Indebtedness

●

Our significant indebtedness could adversely affect our financial health and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations.

●

Restrictive covenants and limitations in our debt facilities that could significantly affect our ability to borrow additional funds and/or operate our business and could lead to events of default if we do not comply with the covenants.

●

Our inability to generate sufficient cash flow to service our indebtedness and fund our operating expenses, working capital needs and capital expenditures.

●

We depend on our subsidiaries for certain dividends, distributions and repayment of our indebtedness.

●

Our ability to obtain additional financing on commercially reasonable terms may be limited.

●

The obligations under the 2028 Notes are collateralized by a security interest in substantially all of our assets, so if we default on those obligations, the holders of the 2028 Notes could foreclose on our assets.

●

Our loans under the CARES Act may be subject to regulatory review.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures — As of September 30, ~~2017,~~2021, we completed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the ~~Securities~~ Exchange Act ~~of 1934~~ Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a reasonable assurance level in timely alerting them to material information relating to us, which is required to be included in our periodic SEC filings.

Table of Contents

We have established controls and procedures designed at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting — There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.Legal Proceedings

Reference is made to the disclosure set forth in Part I, Item 3. Legal Proceedings, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 regarding the construction defect litigation related to the parking garage at the Silver Slipper Casino and Hotel. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, we reached a settlement with the contractor and contractor's insurance company in connection with such litigation. The parties agreed to a mutual release of all claims and counterclaims, and the contractor and the contractor's insurance company agreed to pay us $675,000.

We incurred $55,000 and $98,000 of legal costs during the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, related to this matter. We have received all settlement proceeds. See Part I, Item 1, "Financial Statements" - Note 7 - Litigation for further information.

~~Additionally, we~~ are subject to various legal and administrative proceedings relating to personal injuries, employment matters, commercial transactions and other matters arising in the normal course of business. We do not believe that the final outcome of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. We maintain what we believe is adequate insurance coverage to further mitigate the risks of such proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There were no material changes from the risk factors set forth under Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” section of ~~the Company’s~~our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016.~~

~~We encourage investors to review~~2020 (the “Annual Report”). The continuing COVID-19 pandemic, including the ~~risks~~emergence of new variants, has heightened, and ~~uncertainties relating to our business disclosed~~ in ~~that Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as those contained in "Forward-Looking Statements".~~

~~If any~~some cases manifested, certain of the risks ~~discussed~~we normally face in our business, including those disclosed in the sections referenced above actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. If this were to happen, the value of our common stock could decline significantly, and investors could lose all or part of their investment.

~~This report is qualified in its entirety by these risk factors.~~
