FULL HOUSE RESORTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION

Organization. Formed as a Delaware corporation in 1987, Full House Resorts, Inc. owns, leases, operates, develops, manages, and/or invests in casinos and related hospitality and entertainment facilities. References in this document to “Full House,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us” refer to Full House Resorts, Inc. and its subsidiaries, except where stated or the context otherwise indicates.

The Company currently operates five casinos: four on real estate that we own or lease and one located within a hotel owned by a third party. We are currently constructing two additional properties: Chamonix Casino Hotel (“Chamonix”), adjacent to the Company’s existing Bronco Billy’s Casino and Hotel in Cripple Creek, Colorado; and The Temporary by American Place (“The Temporary”) in Waukegan, Illinois. We also benefit from seven permitted sports wagering “skins,” three in Colorado, three in Indiana, and one in Illinois that we expect to receive upon the opening of The Temporary. As of June 30, 2022, five of our seven online skins are contracted with other companies, and four are currently in operation. These contracts allow the counterparties to operate online sports wagering sites under their brands, paying us a percentage of revenues, as defined in each respective agreement, subject to annual minimum amounts.

​

In December 2021, Full House was selected by the Illinois Gaming Board (“IGB”) to develop its American Place project in Waukegan, Illinois, a northern suburb of Chicago. During the period that the permanent American Place facility is under construction, we intend to operate a temporary casino facility named The Temporary. In May 2022, we commenced construction of The Temporary, which is expected to open in the fourth quarter of 2022, subject to customary regulatory approvals.

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

COVID-19 Pandemic Update. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve. Governmental authorities continue to update their precautionary measures and promote vaccination programs to manage the spread of the virus as different variants of the virus surface and subside. The Company has generally benefited from the gradual relaxation of pandemic-related business restrictions since 2021.

​

However, the COVID-19 pandemic, and certain precautionary measures, have created economic uncertainty both in the United States and globally, as well as significant volatility in, and disruption to, financial markets, labor markets and supply chains. Global supply chain disruptions have resulted in shipping delays, increased shipping costs, supply shortages, and inflationary pressures, including increases in prices for fuel, food, building materials, and other items. These increased costs, labor shortages, and supply shortages continued to put additional constraints on our operating business and our construction projects for the six-months ended June 30, 2022. We do not know when these cost, labor and supply chain issues will materially alleviate and, accordingly, they may continue to impact our existing business and our construction projects in the near term.

We believe that as the COVID-19 pandemic evolves, the direct and indirect impacts on global macro-economic conditions, as well as conditions specific to us, are becoming more difficult to isolate or quantify. In addition, these direct and indirect factors can make it difficult to isolate and quantify the portion of our costs that are a direct result of the pandemic versus costs arising from factors that may have been influenced by the pandemic, including supply chain constraints, increased prices and inflationary pressures, labor shortages, and changes in the spending patterns of customers. These factors and their effects on our operations may persist for a longer period, even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided.

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 2021 annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

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 intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Fair Value and the Fair Value Input Hierarchy. Fair value measurements affect the Company’s accounting for net assets acquired in acquisition transactions and certain financial assets and liabilities. Fair value measurements are also used in 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.

GAAP categorizes the inputs used for fair value into a three-level 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.

8

Table of Contents

The Company utilizes Level 1 inputs when measuring the fair value of its 2028 Notes (see Note 6).

The Company utilizes Level 2 inputs when measuring the fair value of its asset purchases and acquisitions (see Note 5).

The Company utilizes Level 3 inputs when measuring the fair value of net assets acquired in business combination transactions, subsequent assessments for impairment, and 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.

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 placed into a construction reserve account for 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 reserve to approximate fair value. Reserves are estimated based on specific review of customer accounts including the customers’ willingness and ability to pay and nature of collateral, if any, as well as historical collection experience and current 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.

Revenue Recognition:

Accrued Club Points and Customer Loyalty Programs: 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.

The Company sometimes provides discretionary complimentary goods and services (“discretionary comps”). 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 casino 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 under loyalty programs by property for various benefits, primarily for “free casino play,” complimentary dining, or hotel stays, among others, depending on each property’s specific offers. Upon redemption, the related revenue is recognized at retail value within the department providing the goods or services. Unredeemed points are forfeited if the customer becomes and remains inactive for a specified period of time. Such liabilities were approximately $0.8 million for each of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and these amounts are included in “other accrued liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheets.

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. The Company entered into several agreements with various unaffiliated companies allowing for online sports wagering within Indiana, Colorado and Illinois, as well as on-site sports wagering at Rising Star Casino Resort, Bronco Billy’s Casino and Hotel, and The Temporary/American Place (the “Sports Agreements”). As part of these long-term Sports Agreements, the Company received one-time market access fees totaling $6 million in prior years, which were recorded as long-term liabilities and are being recognized as revenue ratably over the initial contract terms (or as accelerated due to termination), beginning with the commencement of operations. The market access fees are not refundable under ordinary circumstances. In May 2022, the Company received an additional $5 million of non-refundable, one-time market access fees for its executed Illinois Sports Agreement. As with the prior Sports Agreements, such market access fee was capitalized and will be amortized over the initial term of the agreement, beginning with the commencement of operations.

Indiana. The Company’s three Sports Agreements commenced operations in December 2019, April 2021 and December 2021. As noted below, one of such Sports Agreements ceased operations in May 2022.

Colorado. The Company’s three Sports Agreements commenced operations in June 2020, December 2020 and April 2021. As noted below, one of such Sports Agreements ceased operations in May 2022.

Illinois. The Company signed a Sports Agreement in May 2022 for Illinois. Such operations are expected to commence upon the opening of The Temporary, pending the receipt of customary gaming approvals.

In addition to the market access fees, deferred revenue includes the annual prepayment of contracted revenue, as required in two of the Sports Agreements. As of June 30, 2022, $1.0 million of such deferred revenue has been recognized during the year.

Deferred revenues consisted of the following, as discussed above:

​

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
(In thousands) | ​ | ​ | ​ | June 30, | ​ | December 31,
​ |  | Balance Sheet Location | ​ | 2022 |  | 2021
Deferred revenue, current | ​ | Other accrued liabilities | ​ | $ | 1,718 | ​ | $ | 1,822
Deferred revenue, net of current portion | ​ | Contract liabilities, net of current portion | ​ | ​ | 8,056 | ​ | ​ | 4,714
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | $ | 9,774 | ​ | $ | 6,536

​

In February 2022, one of the Company’s contracted parties for sports wagering gave notice of its intent to cease operations on May 15, 2022, which created one available skin in each of Colorado and Indiana. Accordingly, this accelerated the recognition of $1.6 million of deferred revenue, which was recognized through the May 2022 termination date, as opposed to the remaining eight years of the original 10-year term. The Company is currently negotiating with other companies to be the replacement operator for such skins, but there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to find replacement operators on similar terms or at all.

Other Revenues. The transaction price of rooms, food and beverage, and retail contracts is the net amount collected from the customer for such goods and services. The transaction price for such contracts is recorded as revenue when the good or service is transferred to the customer over their stay at the hotel or when the delivery is made for the food, beverage, retail and other contracts. Sales and usage-based taxes are excluded from revenues.

Revenue by Source. The Company presents earned revenue as disaggregated by the type or nature of the good or service (casino, food and beverage, hotel, and other operations comprised mainly of retail, golf, entertainment, and contracted sports wagering) and by relevant geographic region within Note 11.

Income Taxes. For interim income tax reporting, it was determined during the second quarter of 2022 that the Company’s annual effective tax rate could not be reasonably estimated. As a result, the Company used the actual year-to-date effective tax rate to determine the tax expense incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

10

Table of Contents

Reclassifications. The Company 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 results of operations or 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 share-based awards outstanding under the Company’s stock compensation plan and warrants, using the treasury stock method.

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.

​

Preopening costs. Preopening costs are related to the preopening phases of new ventures, in accordance with accounting standards regarding start-up activities, and are expensed as incurred. These costs consist of payroll, advertising, outside services, organizational costs and other expenses directly related to new or start-up operations.

​

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted. The Company believes that there are no other recently-issued accounting standards not yet effective that are currently likely to have a material impact on its financial statements.

3. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Accounts receivable, net, consists of the following:

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
(In thousands) | ​ | ​ | June 30, | ​ | December 31,
​ |  |  | 2022 |  | 2021

Less: Reserves | ​ | ​ |  | (265) | ​ |  | (257)
​ | ​ | ​ | $ | 8,889 | ​ | $ | 4,693

_________

(1) | Includes the sale of “free play” at Rising Star for $2.1 million in May 2022, with such amount expected to be received in the third quarter of 2022. 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 (though not sold until the third quarter in 2021).

Management believes that, as of June 30, 2022, no significant concentrations of credit risk existed for which a reserve had not already been recorded.

​

​

4. LEASES

The Company has no leases in which it is the lessor. As lessee, the Company has one finance lease for a hotel and various operating leases for land, casino and office space, equipment, buildings, and signage. The Company’s lease terms, including extensions, range from one month to approximately 36 years. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants, but the land lease at Silver Slipper does include contingent rent, as further discussed below.

Operating Leases

Silver Slipper Casino Land Lease through April 2058 and Options to Purchase. In 2004, the Company’s subsidiary, Silver Slipper Casino Venture, LLC, entered into a land lease with Cure Land Company, LLC for approximately 31 acres of marshlands and a seven-acre parcel on which the Silver Slipper Casino and Hotel is situated. The land lease includes fixed, base monthly payments of $77,500 plus contingent rents of 3% of monthly gross gaming revenue (as defined in the lease) in excess of $3.65 million, with no scheduled base rent increases through the remaining lease term ending in 2058.

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 10 years following the purchase date.

Bronco Billy’s / Chamonix Lease through January 2035 and Option to Purchase. Bronco Billy’s leases certain parking lots and buildings, including a portion of the hotel and casino, under a long-term lease. The lease term includes six renewal options in three-year increments to 2035. The Company exercised its third renewal option to extend the lease term through January 2026, with current annual lease payments of $0.4 million. The lease contains a $7.6 million purchase option exercisable at any time during the lease term, or as extended, and a right of first refusal on any sale of the property.

12

Table of Contents

Third Street Corner Building through August 2023 and Option to Purchase. The Company leased a closed casino in Colorado in August 2018 and reopened it in November 2018. The reopened casino did not produce enough incremental revenue to offset the incremental costs, and it was closed in September 2020. The Company has the right to purchase the casino at any time during the extended lease term for $2.8 million.

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 had an initial three-year term with annual lease payments of $0.2 million, and was subsequently extended to August 13, 2023, with current annual lease payments of $0.3 million.

Grand Lodge Casino Lease through August 2023. The Company’s subsidiary, Gaming Entertainment (Nevada), LLC, has a lease with Incline Hotel, LLC, the owner of the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort (“Hyatt Lake Tahoe”), to operate the Grand Lodge Casino. It is collateralized by the Company’s interests under the lease and property (as defined in the lease) and is subordinate to the liens of the Notes (see Note 6). The lessor currently has an option to purchase the Company’s leasehold interest and related operating assets of the Grand Lodge Casino, subject to assumption of applicable liabilities, and such option has not been exercised by the lessor as of this report date. The option price is an amount equal to the Grand Lodge Casino’s positive working capital, plus Grand Lodge Casino’s earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) for the twelve-month period preceding the acquisition (or pro-rated if less than twelve months remain on the lease), plus the fair market value of the Grand Lodge Casino’s personal property. The current monthly rent of $166,667 is applicable through the remaining lease term ending in August 2023.

Corporate Office Lease through January 2025. The Company leases 4,479 square feet of office space in Las Vegas, Nevada. Annual rent is approximately $0.2 million and the term of 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, and approximately 3.01 acres of land on which it resides, at a price based upon the hotel’s original cost of $7.7 million, reduced by the cumulative principal payments made by the Company during the lease term. At June 30, 2022, such potential purchase price was $3.0 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.

(1) | The estimated fair value of these notes was approximately $325.8 million for June 30, 2022 and $327.5 million for December 31, 2021. The fair value was estimated using quoted market prices for these notes.

​

​

Senior Secured Notes due 2028. On February 12, 2021, the Company refinanced all $106.8 million of its 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 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.

​

On February 7, 2022, the Company closed a private offering of $100 million aggregate principal amount of additional 8.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the “Additional Notes”), which sold at a price of 102.0% of such principal amount. Proceeds from the sale of the Additional Notes are being used: (i) to develop, equip and open The Temporary, which the Company intends to operate while it constructs its permanent American Place facility, (ii) to pay the transaction fees and expenses of the offer and sale of the Additional Notes and (iii) for general corporate purposes. The Additional Notes were issued pursuant to the indenture, dated as of February 12, 2021 (the “Indenture”), to which the Company issued the $310 million of 2028 Notes noted above (collectively, the “Notes”). In connection with the issuance of the Additional Notes, the Company and the subsidiary guarantors party to the Indenture entered into two Supplemental Indentures with Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, dated February 1, 2022 and February 7, 2022, respectively. On March 3, 2022, the Company entered into a third Supplemental Indenture to establish a special record date for the initial interest payment for the Additional Notes.

​

The Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 8.25% per year and mature on February 15, 2028. There is no mandatory debt amortization prior to the maturity date. Interest on the Notes is payable on February 15 and August 15 of each year, with the next interest payment due on August 15, 2022.

​

The Notes are guaranteed, jointly and severally (such guarantees, the “Guarantees”), by each of the Company’s restricted subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”). The Notes and the Guarantees are the Company’s and the Guarantors’ general senior secured obligations, subject to the terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement (as defined in the Indenture), ranking senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ existing and future debt that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and the Guarantees, if any. The Notes and the Guarantees will rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ existing and future senior debt.

The Notes contain representations and warranties, financial covenants, and restrictions on dividends customary for notes of this type. Mandatory prepayments, in whole or in part, of the Notes will be required upon the occurrence of certain events, including sales of certain assets, 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 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 Notes prior to February 15, 2024 at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date and a “make-whole” premium.

At any time on or after February 15, 2024, the Company may redeem some or all of the 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 | %

Revolving Credit Facility due 2026. On February 7, 2022, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement with Capital One, N.A., which, among other things, increased the borrowing capacity under the Company’s Credit Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2021, from $15.0 million to $40.0 million (the “Credit Facility”). The amended $40.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility matures on March 31, 2026 and includes a letter of credit sub-facility. The Credit Facility may be used for working capital and other ongoing general purposes.

Under the First Amendment to Credit Agreement, the interest rate per annum applicable to loans under the Credit Facility was amended to be, at the Company’s option, either (i) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a margin equal to 3.50% and a Term SOFR adjustment of 0.15%, or (ii) a base rate plus a margin equal to 2.50%. Upon 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) SOFR plus a margin equal to 3.00% and a Term SOFR adjustment of 0.15%, or (ii) a base rate plus a margin equal to 2.00%. Terms regarding the annual commitment fee, customary letter of credit fees, and repayment date of March 31, 2026, remain unchanged from the original Credit Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2021. As of this report date, there were no drawn amounts under the Credit Facility and an outstanding standby letter of credit of $1 million related to the American Place project.

The Credit Facility is equally and ratably secured by the same assets and guarantees securing the Notes. The Company may make prepayments of any amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility (without any reduction of the revolving commitments) in whole or in part at any time without penalty.

The Credit Facility contains a number of negative covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, are substantially similar to the covenants contained in the Notes. The Credit Facility also requires compliance with a financial covenant as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, such that Adjusted EBITDA (as defined) for the trailing 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 June 30, 2022.

7. INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective income tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were 459.3% and 1.0%, respectively, compared to effective income tax rates of 1.5% and 12.2% for the corresponding prior-year periods. The Company’s income tax expense or benefit for interim periods has historically been determined using an estimate of its annual effective tax rate (“AETR”), adjusted for discrete items. During the second quarter of 2022, it was determined that minor changes to the Company’s forecast caused significant changes to the AETR, resulting in tax expense that was incomparable, period-over-period. Specifically, a slight movement in year-to-date pretax book income would exaggerate the impact of items that drive tax expense, resulting in large fluctuations in AETR and the resultant tax expense/(benefit). As a result, the Company calculated the actual tax expense based on the results of operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. This differs from the methodology used in the first quarter of 2022 to provide a more useful income tax expense for the current period.

​

The Company continues to assess the realizability of deferred tax assets (“DTAs”) and concluded that it has not met the “more likely than not” threshold. As of June 30, 2022, the Company continues to provide a valuation allowance against its DTAs that cannot be offset by existing deferred tax liabilities. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 740 (“ASC 740”), this assessment has taken into consideration the jurisdictions in which these DTAs reside. The valuation allowance against DTAs has no effect on the actual taxes paid or owed by the Company.

​

In the future, if it is determined that we meet the “more likely than not” threshold of utilizing our deferred tax assets, as required under ASC 740, then we may reverse some or all of our valuation allowance. We will continue to evaluate the need for the valuation allowance during each interim period in 2022. Absent any unforeseen impact to our operations, we expect that a continuing trend of net income improvements could result in the reversal of the valuation allowance by the end of 2022. Such valuation allowance and its potential reversal has no impact on the actual income taxes paid or the Company’s financial situation.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

The Company is party to a number of pending legal proceedings related to matters that occurred in the normal course of business. Management does not expect that the outcome of any such proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

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 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 three additional six-month periods, with the payment of $5,000 for each extension. In November 2021, the Company paid an additional $5,000 to exercise its first six-month option extension through the end of May 2022. This option was further extended through the end of November 2022, when the Company paid an additional $5,000 to exercise its second six-month option extension in the second quarter of 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 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.

Contracted Sports Wagering in Illinois

In May 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with an affiliate of Circa Sports to jointly develop and manage on-site sportsbooks at both The Temporary and American Place casinos in Illinois. Circa Sports currently operates at Circa Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, and offers online sports wagering in several states. In addition to the on-site sportsbook, Circa Sports will utilize the Company’s expected mobile sports skin to conduct Internet sports wagering throughout Illinois. In exchange for such rights, the Company received a non-refundable market access fee of $5 million in May 2022, and will also receive a percentage of revenues (as defined) totaling at least $5 million per year, on an annualized basis, once Circa Sports launches operations in Illinois, which is contingent upon receipt of customary regulatory approvals in Illinois. The term of the agreement is non-cancellable under normal circumstances by Circa Sports for eight years, followed by two four-year extension opportunities at the option of Circa Sports.

10. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Performance-Based Shares. The Company issued a total of 36,849 performance-based shares to three of the Company’s executives during the first quarter of 2022, of which 5,734 performance-based shares were canceled in April 2022. In the second quarter of 2022, an additional total of 70,834 performance-based shares were issued to three other Company executives. 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, 2022, December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2024. For the 2022 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 2022 reflects at least 10% per annum growth since 2019, 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 2022 reflects at least 12% per annum growth since 2019. Vesting of the performance-based shares is similar for the 2023 and 2024 periods.

​

On March 14, 2022, due to the Company exceeding certain growth metrics in 2021, 23,325 previously-issued performance shares vested, resulting in the issuance of a similar number of shares of stock. Similarly, on May 15, 2022, an additional 6,917 performance shares vested.

11. SEGMENT REPORTING AND DISAGGREGATED REVENUE

The Company manages its reporting segments based on geographic regions within the United States and type of income. Its operating segments, as of 2022, are: Mississippi, Indiana, Colorado, Nevada, and Contracted Sports Wagering. The 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 geography, economic characteristics, types of customers, types of services and products provided, the regulatory environments in which they operate, and their management and reporting structure.

The Company utilizes Adjusted Segment EBITDA as the measure of segment profit in assessing performance and allocating resources at the reportable segment level. Adjusted Segment EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest and other non-operating income (expense), taxes, depreciation and amortization, preopening expenses, impairment charges, asset write-offs, recoveries, gain (loss) from asset disposals, project development and acquisition costs, non-cash share-based compensation expense, and corporate-related costs and expenses that are not allocated to each segment.

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, 2021, which were included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 15, 2022. 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,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “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 casino gambling, hotel accommodations, dining, golf, RV camping, sports betting, entertainment, and retail outlets, among other amenities. We currently operate five casinos: four on real estate that we own or lease and one located within a hotel owned by a third party. We are currently constructing two additional properties: Chamonix Casino Hotel (“Chamonix”) in Cripple Creek, Colorado; and The Temporary by American Place (“The Temporary”) in Waukegan, Illinois. We also benefit from seven permitted sports “skins”: three in Colorado, three in Indiana, and one in Illinois that we expect to receive upon the opening of The Temporary, pending customary regulatory approvals. As of June 30, 2022, five of our seven online skins are contracted with other companies, and four are currently in operation. These contracts allow the counterparties to operate online sports wagering sites under their own brands, paying us a percentage of revenues, as defined, subject to annual minimum amounts.

In December 2021, we were selected by the Illinois Gaming Board (“IGB”) to develop our American Place project in Waukegan, Illinois, a northern suburb of Chicago. While the permanent American Place facility is under construction, we intend to operate a temporary casino facility named The Temporary. In May 2022, we commenced construction of The Temporary, which is expected to open in the fourth quarter of 2022, subject to customary regulatory approvals.

The following table identifies our segments, along with properties and their 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 provide credit at some of our casinos where permitted by local gaming regulations, most of our customers wager with cash or pay for non-gaming services with cash or credit cards. Our revenues are primarily derived from slot machines, but also include table games, keno, and sports betting. In addition, we receive a significant amount of revenue from our hotels and our food and beverage outlets. We also derive revenues from our golf course at Rising Star, 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. We often provide hotel rooms, food and beverages, entertainment, ferry usage, and golf privileges to customers on a complimentary basis; the value of such services is included as revenue in those categories, offset by contra-revenue in the casino revenue category. As a result, the casino revenues in our financial statements reflect patron gaming wins and losses, reduced by the retail value of complimentary services, the value of free play provided to customers, the value of points earned by casino customers that can be redeemed for services or free play, and adjustments 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.

Our market environment is 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. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve. Governmental authorities continue to update their precautionary measures and promote vaccination programs to manage the spread of the virus as different variants of the virus surface and subside. We have generally benefited from the gradual relaxation of pandemic-related business restrictions since 2021.

​

However, the COVID-19 pandemic, and certain precautionary and stimulus measures, have created economic uncertainty both in the United States and globally, as well as significant volatility in, and disruption to, financial markets, labor markets and supply chains. Global supply chain disruptions have resulted in shipping delays, increased shipping costs, supply shortages, and inflationary pressures, including increases in prices for fuel, food, building materials, and other items. These increased costs, labor shortages, and supply shortages continued to put additional constraints on our operating business and our construction projects for the six months ended June 30, 2022. We do not know when these cost, labor, and supply chain issues will materially alleviate and, accordingly, they may continue to impact our existing business and our construction projects in the near term.

At the same time, government stimulus checks and infrastructure packages can positively affect our businesses. The timing and scale of such packages, however, is inconsistent amongst periods and such government programs are uncertain to continue into the future at the same levels that they have in the past, if at all.

We believe that as the COVID-19 pandemic evolves, the direct and indirect impacts on global macro-economic conditions, as well as conditions specific to us, are becoming more difficult to isolate or quantify. In addition, these direct and indirect factors can make it difficult to isolate and quantify the portion of our costs that are a direct result of the pandemic versus costs arising from factors that may have been influenced by the pandemic, including supply chain constraints, inflationary pressures, labor shortages, and changes in the spending pattern of customers. These factors and their effects on our operations may persist for a longer period, even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided.

Debt Financing. On February 7, 2022, we closed a private offering of $100 million aggregate principal amount of additional 8.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the “Additional Notes”), which sold at a price of 102.0% of such principal amount. Proceeds from the sale of the Additional Notes are being used: (i) to develop, equip and open The Temporary, which we intend to operate while we design and construct the permanent American Place facility, (ii) to pay the transaction fees and expenses of the offer and sale of the Additional Notes and (iii) for general corporate purposes. Also in February 2022, we amended our senior secured revolving credit facility agreement to, among other things, increase its size from $15.0 million to $40.0 million. As of this report date, there were no drawn amounts under the Credit Facility and an outstanding standby letter of credit of $1 million related to the American Place project.

​

Sports Wagering in Illinois. In May 2022, we entered into an agreement with an affiliate of Circa Sports to jointly develop and manage on-site sportsbooks at both The Temporary and American Place. Circa Sports currently operates at Circa Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, and offers online sports wagering in several states. In addition to the on-site sportsbook, Circa Sports will utilize our expected mobile sports skin in Illinois to conduct Internet sports wagering throughout the state upon the opening of the Temporary, subject to customary regulatory approvals. In exchange for such rights, we received a non-refundable market access fee of $5 million in May 2022 and will also receive a percentage of revenues (as defined) totaling at least $5 million, on an annualized basis, once Circa Sports commences operations in Illinois. The term of the agreement is for eight years, followed by two four-year extension opportunities at the option of Circa Sports.

​

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 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, 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 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 Segment EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA Margin:

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of our performance. For a description of Adjusted EBITDA, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measure.” We utilize Adjusted Segment EBITDA, a financial measure in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), as the measure of segment profitability in assessing performance and allocating resources at the reportable segment level. For information regarding our operating segments, see Note 11 of our Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this quarterly report. In addition, we use Adjusted Segment EBITDA Margin, which is calculated by dividing Adjusted Segment EBITDA by the segment’s total revenues.

​

The following discussion is based on our consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

​

Revenues. Consolidated total revenues decreased by $3.1 million and $3.8 million for the respective three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to the absence of government stimulus programs of the same scale as in the prior-year periods; the competitive launch of online sports wagering in nearby Louisiana, which adversely affected our in-house sportsbook in Mississippi; and planned construction disruptions at Bronco Billy’s to advance the completion of our Chamonix project. Additionally, our revenues were impacted by factors that are inherently hard to quantify, as discussed in the “Recent Developments – COVID-19 Pandemic Update” section above. These include inflationary pressures, which could affect the spending pattern of customers, as well as labor shortages for us to efficiently meet the demands of potential customers. These declines in revenue were offset, in part, by “Other Non-casino Revenues” that included $2.2 million and $5.0 million of revenue related to our Contracted Sports Wagering segment for the respective three and six months ended June 30, 2022, versus $1.5 million and $2.5 million, respectively, in the prior-year periods.

Operating Expenses. Consolidated operating expenses increased by $0.9 million and $3.5 million for the respective three and six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to preopening costs for The Temporary (expected to open in the fourth quarter of 2022) and for Chamonix (expected to open in mid-2023), as well as higher food and beverage costs. To a lesser extent, increases in operating expenses during 2022 were also attributed to higher property insurance costs in Mississippi, additional professional fees, and other expenses related to our growth.

See further information within our reportable segments described below.

Interest and Other Non-Operating Expenses.

Interest Expense

Interest expense consists of the following:

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
(In thousands) | ​ | Three Months Ended | ​ | Six Months Ended
​ | ​ | June 30, | ​ | June 30,
​ |  | 2022 |  | 2021 |  | 2022 |  | 2021
Interest cost (excluding bond fee amortization and premium) | ​ | $ | 8,660 | ​ | $ | 6,569 | ​ | $ | 16,051 | ​ | $ | 11,000
Amortization of debt issuance costs and discount (premium) | ​ |  | 411 | ​ |  | 350 | ​ |  | 797 | ​ |  | 634
Capitalized interest | ​ |  | (2,083) | ​ |  | (249) | ​ |  | (3,461) | ​ |  | (508)
​ | ​ | $ | 6,988 | ​ | $ | 6,670 | ​ | $ | 13,387 | ​ | $ | 11,126

​

The increases in interest expense for the three- and six-month periods were primarily due to the February 2022 issuance of the Additional Notes to fund construction of The Temporary, which is expected to open in the fourth quarter of 2022. The increases in interest expense were partially offset by increases in capitalized interest due to the construction of The Temporary and Chamonix projects.

Other Non-Operating Expenses, Net

For the respective three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, we had approximately $19,000 and $4.4 million of other non-operating expenses, primarily consisting of debt modification costs related to our Additional Notes offering in February 2022. The corresponding prior-year periods had other non-operating income of $30,000 and other non-operating expense of $7.5 million, respectively, with the six-month period including $6.1 million for the extinguishment of our Prior Notes and $1.3 million for the settlement of our former warrants.

Income Tax Expense. We recognized an income tax provision of $5.6 million and an income tax benefit of $45,000 for the respective three and six months ended June 30, 2022, which resulted in effective income tax rates of 459.3% and 1.0%, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized respective income tax provisions of $82,000 and $0.3 million, which resulted in effective income tax rates of 1.5% and $12.2%, respectively.

See Note 7 of our Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this quarterly report for details on our tax expense calculations.

We do not expect to pay any federal income taxes or receive any federal tax refunds related to our 2022 results. As we have incurred significant losses in prior periods, we anticipate current-year taxable income will be offset by tax loss carryforwards from prior years. Due in part to recent trends in our profitability, we continue to evaluate the ability to realize our deferred tax assets and need for a valuation allowance 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 by the end of 2022. The valuation allowance, and the potential reversal of such allowance, has no bearing on the taxes actually paid by the Company, or on its actual financial condition.

​

Mississippi

Our Mississippi segment consists of the Silver Slipper Casino and Hotel. The prior year’s three- and six-month periods were among the best in the property’s history in terms of casino revenue and total revenue, benefiting from the issuance of government stimulus checks to customers. Compared to the prior-year periods, total revenues during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by 12.8% and 8.9%, respectively, primarily due to a decline in casino revenue. Slot revenue declined by 15.6% (or $2.3 million) and 10.7% (or $2.9 million) for the respective three- and six-month periods due to lower volumes. Table games revenue declined by 5.2% for the three-month period due to a lower hold percentage, but rose by 1.0 % for the six-month period from slightly higher volume and hold. Other casino revenues decreased by $0.4 million and $1.3 million for the respective three- and six-month periods, primarily from our on-site sports book, which was affected by the competitive launch of online sports wagering within nearby Louisiana.

Non-casino revenue decreased by 4.2% for the three-months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to a 5.6% decrease in food and beverage revenue (or $0.3 million), while hotel revenues increased slightly by 1.5%. Hotel occupancy for the three-months ended June 30, 2022 was 94.1%, compared to 95.2% in the prior-year period. For the six-months ended June 30, 2022, non-casino revenue was relatively flat, as a 0.6% decrease in food and beverage revenue (or $62,000) was offset by a 2.9% increase in hotel revenue due to higher average daily room rates. Hotel occupancy for the six-months ended June 30, 2022 was 93.5%, versus 94.4% in the prior-year period.

Adjusted Segment EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by 41.5% and 32.5%, respectively, reflecting revenue declines from a lack of stimulus payments and the launch of online sports wagering in Louisiana mentioned above; increases of $0.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively, in property insurance costs; and increases to the cost of food.

Indiana

Our Indiana segment consists of Rising Star Casino Resort. Total revenues during the respective three and six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by 11.5% and 6.6%, primarily due to the sale of “free play” at Rising Star. The state’s casinos are permitted to transfer “free play” to other casino operators within Indiana. 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. Such sales resulted in $2.1 million of revenue and income in the second quarter of 2022. Rising Star also sold its “free play” for $2.1 million during 2021, although not until the third quarter.

Similar to the Silver Slipper, Rising Star also benefited from customers receiving government stimulus payments due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the prior-year period. As a result, casino revenue for the three-months ended June 30, 2022 declined by 9.8%. Slot revenue decreased by 9.2% (or $0.7 million) and table game revenue declined by 14.7% (or $0.1 million), both due to lower volumes during the second quarter of 2022. Similarly, casino revenue for the six-months ended June 30, 2022 declined by 5.3%, primarily due to a decrease in table games revenue of 39.8% (or $0.7 million) from lower table game drop.

Non-casino revenue increased by 74.0% and 44.6% during the respective three and six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to the sale of “free play” for $2.1 million noted above and increases in food and beverage revenue of 4.9% and 10.1% for the respective periods in 2022. Hotel revenues declined by 13.9% and 12.4% during the respective three and six months ended June 30, 2022, due to relatively flat average daily rates on fewer occupied room-nights. Rising Star had 12,691 occupied room-nights for the second quarter of 2022, compared to 14,827 occupied room-nights for the prior-year period. For the six-months ended June 30, 2022, Rising Star had 23,329 occupied room-nights, compared to 26,419 occupied room-nights for the prior-year period.

30

Table of Contents

Adjusted Segment EBITDA during the respective three and six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by 46.1% and 32.5%, primarily due to the sale of “free play.” Marketing costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 increased to address lower volumes during 2022, as the 2021 periods were assisted by the issuance of government stimulus checks to customers due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Total operating costs improved by $0.1 million and $10,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Colorado

Our Colorado segment includes Bronco Billy’s Casino and Hotel and the Chamonix project. Total revenues during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by 35.6% and 32.1%, respectively, reflecting planned business disruptions to accommodate the construction of Chamonix. These disruptions include the temporary loss of all of the property’s on-site parking and all on-site hotel rooms, as well as the temporary loss of major portions of the casino. To alleviate the lack of on-site parking, Bronco Billy’s currently incurs the additional cost of complimentary valet parking, as well as a free shuttle service to an off-site parking lot.

Casino revenue decreased by 37.4% (or $2.1 million) and 34.3% (or $3.7 million) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, which were largely due to the construction disruptions mentioned above. For the respective three and six months ended June 30, 2022, slot revenue declined by 39.4% (or $2.1 million) and 36.2% (or $3.9 million), while table games revenue rose by 54.5% (or $66,000) and 72.9% (or $139,000) due to higher holds on increased volumes. Table games operations in the prior-year period were significantly affected by pandemic-related limitations.

Non-casino revenue decreased by 23.0% (or $186,000) and 15.5% (or $224,000) for the respective three and six months ended June 30, 2022, due to declines in food and beverage revenue after the temporary closing of the property’s steakhouse in May 2022 and, to a lesser extent, declines in hotel revenues.

Adjusted Segment EBITDA for the respective three and six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by 87.2% to $236,000 and 102.4 % to $(86,000). The decrease during the quarter was due to disruptions from the construction of Chamonix. As described above, such disruptions resulted in additional operating expenses, including the operation of our new valet and parking shuttle services.

In addition to construction disruption due to our neighboring Chamonix project, we are currently undergoing a modest refurbishment of a portion of Bronco Billy’s, expected to cost approximately $2 million. Accordingly, Bronco Billy’s contribution to earnings will likely be impacted until the completion of such refurbishment later this year, as well as the completion of Chamonix’s construction in mid-2023. The market in Cripple Creek is seasonal, favoring the summer months.

Nevada

The Nevada segment consists of the Grand Lodge and Stockman’s casinos. Our Nevada operations have historically been seasonal, with the summer months accounting for a disproportionate share of annual revenues. Additionally, snowfall levels during the winter months can often affect operations, as Grand Lodge Casino is located near several major ski resorts. We typically benefit from a “good” snow year, resulting in extended periods of operation at the nearby ski areas.

Total revenues during the respective three and six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by 9.6% and 5.4%, primarily due to higher casino revenue. Slot revenue improved by 9.2% (or $0.3 million) and 8.1% (or $0.6 million) for the respective three and six months ended June 30, 2022 due to increases in slot volumes and higher slot hold percentages at Grand Lodge. Table games revenue increased by 25.9% (or $173,000) for the three-months ended June 30, 2022, similarly due to an increase in table games volume and a higher hold percentage. For the six-months ended June 30, 2022, table games revenue was approximately flat despite an adverse table games hold percentage in the first quarter of 2022.

Adjusted Segment EBITDA for the three-months ended June 30, 2022 increased to $1.4 million, reflecting improvements in casino revenue, while Adjusted Segment EBITDA for the six-months ended June 30, 2022 decreased to $2.3 million, reflecting adverse table games hold earlier during the year and an increase in labor costs. Adjusted Segment EBITDA was $1.4 million and $2.6 million in the corresponding prior-year periods.

Contracted Sports Wagering

The Contracted Sports Wagering segment consists of our on-site and online sports wagering skins in Colorado, Indiana and, upon launch, Illinois.

​

For the three-months ended June 30, 2022, revenues and Adjusted Segment EBITDA were both $2.2 million, an increase from $1.5 million in the prior-year period. For the six-months ended June 30, 2022, revenues and Adjusted Segment EBITDA were both $5.0 million, an increase from $2.5 million in the prior-year period. These results reflect an additional skin that contractually went live on December 1, 2021, as well as an acceleration of deferred revenue for two agreements that ceased operations in May 2022, when one of the Company’s contracted parties ceased operations. We anticipate entering into new agreements for the utilization of such skins, one each in Colorado and Indiana, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to replace these agreements on similar terms as our previous agreements or at all.

​

For details on our agreement with Circa Sports, see “Recent Developments – Sports Wagering in Illinois” as discussed above in the “Executive Overview.”

​

Corporate

Corporate expenses for the respective three and six months ended June 30, 2022 declined by 35.9% (or $0.5 million) and 13.8% (or $0.5 million), primarily due to a decrease in accrued bonus compensation. Corporate expenses were $0.9 million and $1.5 million for the three-months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For the six-months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, corporate expenses were $2.9 million and $3.4 million, respectively.

​

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 this measure is (i) a widely used measure of operating performance in the gaming and hospitality industries and (ii) a principal basis for valuation of gaming and hospitality companies. In addition, a version of Adjusted EBITDA (known as Consolidated Cash Flow) is utilized in the covenants within our 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, 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.

​

The following table presents a reconciliation of net (loss) income and operating income to Adjusted EBITDA:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

As of June 30, 2022, we had $298.4 million of cash and equivalents, including $190.2 million of restricted cash dedicated to the completion of Chamonix’s construction. We estimate that between approximately $7 million and $9 million of cash is used in our current day-to-day operations, including on-site cash in our slot machines, change and redemption kiosks, and cages. We believe that current cash balances, together with the available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility and cash flows from operating activities, will be sufficient to meet our liquidity and capital resource needs for the next 12 months of operations, including construction activities.

Cash flows – operating activities. On a consolidated basis, cash provided by operations during the six-months ended June 30, 2022 was $4.2 million, compared to cash provided by operations of $18.8 million in the prior-year period. Trends in our operating cash flows tend to follow trends in operating income, excluding non-cash charges, but are also affected by changes in working capital. Comparing the 2022 and 2021 periods, our operating cash flows decreased due to our decrease in income and to working capital changes.

Cash flows – investing activities. On a consolidated basis, cash used in investing activities during the six-months ended June 30, 2022 was $65.0 million, which primarily related to capital expenditures for Chamonix and The Temporary/American Place. Cash used in investing activities during the prior-year period was $10.6 million, which primarily related to the purchase of Carr Manor and other land parcels related to our Chamonix project.

Cash flows – financing activities. On a consolidated basis, cash provided by financing activities during the six-months ended June 30, 2022 was $93.9 million, compared to cash provided by financing activities of $235.6 million in the prior-year period. In February 2022, we received $102.0 million of gross proceeds from the issuance of our Additional Notes to construct The Temporary while American Place is under development. In February and March 2021, respectively, we received $310.0 million of gross proceeds from the issuance of our 2028 Notes and gross proceeds of $46.0 million through our underwritten equity offering. These cash inflows in 2021 were offset by the payoff of the Prior Notes (including related prepayment premiums), and expenses related to our debt and equity offerings.

Other Factors Affecting Liquidity

We have significant outstanding debt and contractual obligations, in addition to planned capital expenditures related to the construction of Chamonix, The Temporary, and American Place. Our principal debt matures in February 2028. Certain planned capital expenditures designed to grow the Company, such as the permanent American Place facility and the potential future expansion of Silver Slipper, are likely to require additional financing and/or temporarily reduce the Company’s ability to repay debt.

Our operations are subject to financial, economic, competitive, regulatory and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. Such factors include the potential effects of COVID-19 and its variants. The extent to which our liquidity in future periods may be affected by COVID-19 and its variants may largely depend on future developments. Such future developments are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted at this time, as discussed under “Recent Developments.”

Debt

Long-term Debt. At June 30, 2022, we had $410.0 million of principal indebtedness outstanding under the Notes, no drawn amounts under the Credit Facility, and an outstanding $1 million standby letter of credit related to The Temporary’s construction. We also owe $3.0 million related to our finance lease of a hotel at Rising Star.

See Note 6 of our Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this quarterly report for details on our debt obligations.

Other

Capital Investments. In addition to normal maintenance capital expenditures, we continue to make significant capital investments related to the construction of Chamonix, The Temporary and American Place.

Chamonix. In January 2021, we increased the size of the Chamonix project’s hotel capacity by 67%, to approximately 300 luxury guest rooms and suites from our previously-planned 180 guest rooms. We also revised our construction budget for Chamonix in January 2022, increasing it from $180 million to approximately $250 million, reflecting supply chain issues, inflation, and a difficult construction environment. To fund Chamonix’s construction, we issued our 2028 Notes and placed a portion of such proceeds into a restricted cash account dedicated to the completion of Chamonix’s construction (see Note 6 of our Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this quarterly report for details on our debt obligations). We expect to invest approximately $100 million in 2022 and approximately $125 million in 2023, with an expected opening of Chamonix in mid-2023.

American Place. We were selected by the IGB to develop and operate American Place in Waukegan, Illinois. While the larger permanent facility is under construction, we will operate The Temporary by American Place. In advance of The Temporary’s expected opening in the fourth quarter of 2022, pending customary regulatory approvals, we plan to invest approximately $80 million in 2022 and approximately $20 million in 2023 to furnish, outfit and open the property, including significant upfront gaming license payments and the purchase of casino equipment that is expected to be transferred to the permanent casino once opened. To fund such construction, in February 2022, we issued $100.0 million of Additional Notes and increased the size of our revolving credit facility to $40.0 million (see Note 6 of our Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this quarterly report for details on our debt obligations).

Other Capital Expenditures. Additionally, we may fund various other 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.

Hyatt Owner’s Option to Purchase our Leasehold Interest and Related Assets. Our lease with the owner of the Hyatt Lake Tahoe to operate the Grand Lodge Casino contains an option for the lessor to purchase our leasehold interest and related casino operating assets. See Note 4 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further information.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K, that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that are material to investors.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies

We describe our critical accounting estimates and policies in Note 2, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. We also discuss our critical accounting estimates and policies in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. There has been no significant change in our estimation methods since the end of 2021.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) for which the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor. These forward-looking statements can be identified by use of terms such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “plans,” “intends,” “objectives,” “goals,” “aims,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “future,” “possible,” “seeks,” “may,” “could,” “should,” “will,” “might,” “likely,” “enable,” or similar words or expressions, as well as statements containing phrases such as “in our view,” “we cannot assure you,” “although no assurance can be given,” or “there is no way to anticipate with certainty.” Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we make regarding our plans, beliefs or expectations regarding our growth strategies; the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic; our expected construction budgets, estimated commencement and completion dates, expected amenities, and our expected operational performance for Chamonix, The Temporary, and American Place; our investments in capital improvements and other projects, including the amounts of such investments, the timing of commencement or completion of such capital improvements and projects, and the resulting impact on our financial results; our sports wagering contracts with third-party providers, including expected revenues and expenses, our expectations regarding our ability to replace our terminated sports wagering contracts in Colorado and Indiana, and the expected commencement date of our sports wagering contract in Illinois; our ability to obtain the casino license for the Temporary and American Place; management’s expectation to exercise its buyout option on the Silver Slipper Casino and Hotel; adequacy of our financial resources to fund operating requirements and planned capital expenditures and to meet our debt and contractual obligations; expected sources of revenue; anticipated sources of funds; anticipated or potential legislative actions; beliefs in connection with our marketing efforts; factors that affect the financial performance of our properties; adequacy of our insurance; competitive outlook; outcome of legal matters; impact of recently issued accounting standards; and estimates regarding certain accounting and tax matters, among others.

Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, those risks discussed in Part I, Item 1A—Risk Factors and throughout Part II, Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, and in Part II, Item 1A—Risk Factors and elsewhere of this Form 10-Q. In addition, you should consult other disclosures made by us (such as in our other filings with the SEC or in company press releases) for other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected by us. You should read this Form 10-Q, and the documents that we reference in this Form 10-Q and have filed with the SEC, and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance, and events and circumstances may be materially different from what we expect.

We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements as a result of future developments, events or conditions, except as required by law. New risks emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all such risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ significantly from those forecast in any forward-looking statements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures — As of June 30, 2022, 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 Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2022, 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.

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

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 our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Annual Report”). The continuing COVID-19 pandemic, including the emergence of new variants, has heightened, and in some cases manifested, certain of the risks we normally face in our business, including those disclosed in the Annual Report.
