Forward Guidance
Full House Resorts expects 2022 to be a transformative year with the introduction of American Place to the area’s residents via The Temporary and the continued transformation of the Company when Chamonix in Cripple Creek, Colorado opens in the second quarter of 2023.
Positive Outlook
- Introduce American Place to the area’s residents via The Temporary in the upcoming summer.
- Expect to begin erecting the casino structure in the next month, when major components of the structure begin to arrive on-site.
- Chamonix in Cripple Creek, Colorado, should continue the transformation of our Company when it opens in the second quarter of 2023.
- Confidence in Chamonix has reached new highs, driven by the success of a recent casino opening in Black Hawk, Colorado, and the significant growth in Colorado’s gaming revenues since the elimination of betting maximums in April 2021.
- Chamonix will be the first high-quality casino hotel in Cripple Creek, and we expect it to meaningfully grow the market’s gaming revenue and generate a strong return on investment for our Company, similar to what has occurred in Black Hawk.
Challenges Ahead
- Permanent American Place facility in Waukegan, Illinois, will require approximately three years to construct.
- Results in Colorado were impacted by the loss of all of the property’s on-site parking due to the construction of Chamonix.
- In February 2022, one of the Company’s contracted parties for sports wagering informed us of its intent to cease operations on May 15, 2022, which will create one available skin in each of Colorado and Indiana.
- Corporate expenses increased during the fourth quarter of 2021, primarily due to $1.7 million of expenses related to corporate initiatives that are not expected to recur in 2022.
- Rising Star Casino Resort’s revenues were $9.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, a decrease from $10.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, reflecting adverse hold in the recent quarter.
