Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
ORGANIZATION | ORGANIZATION Formed as a Delaware corporation in 1987, Full House Resorts, Inc. ("Full House") owns, operates, develops, manages, and/or invests in casinos and related hospitality and entertainment facilities. References in this document to the “Company”, “we”, “our,” or “us” refer to Full House Resorts, Inc. and its subsidiaries, except where stated or the context otherwise indicates. We currently own three casino properties and operate a fourth casino subject to a lease, as follows:
Property |  | Acquisition Date |  | Location
Silver Slipper Casino & Hotel (owned) |  | 2012 |  | Hancock County, MS (near New Orleans)
Rising Star Casino Resort (owned) |  | 2011 |  | Rising Sun, IN (near Cincinnati)
Stockman’s Casino (owned) |  | 2007 |  | Fallon, NV (one hour east of Reno)
Grand Lodge Casino (leased and part of the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort) |  | 2011 |  | Incline Village, NV (North Shore of Lake Tahoe)
Until our three-year contract expired in September 2014, we also managed the Buffalo Thunder Casino and Resort, Cities of Gold and other gaming facilities, located in Santa Fe, New Mexico, for the Pueblo of Pojoaque. On September 27, 2015, we, through our newly formed subsidiary FHR-Colorado, LLC, entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the "Bronco Billy's Purchase Agreement") with Pioneer Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Pioneer Group”), to acquire the operating assets and assume certain liabilities of Bronco Billy’s Casino and Hotel (“Bronco Billy’s”) in Cripple Creek, Colorado for a purchase price of $30 million. The acquisition is pending and is expected to be consummated in the second quarter of 2016. See Notes 12 and 15 for further information. On November 28, 2014, Full House, and Daniel R. Lee, Bradley M. Tirpak and Craig W. Thomas (jointly and severally), the (“Shareholder Group”), entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”), which was subsequently amended on January 28, 2015, resulting in significant changes in the Company’s board of directors and management. The Company incurred significant costs involved with such changes. See Note 9 for further information. We manage our casinos based on geographic regions within the United States. Accordingly, Stockman’s Casino and Grand Lodge Casino comprise a Northern Nevada business segment, while Rising Star and Silver Slipper are currently distinct segments. We also consider our fee-based casino development and management services as a segment, although none of our current casino properties are managed for others.
