Full House Resorts Announces Ratification of Sports Wagering in Colorado and Launch of Retail Sportsbook at Rising Star Casino Resort in Indiana

LAS VEGAS, Nov. 07, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Full House Resorts, Inc. (Nasdaq: FLL) today provided an update on sports wagering affecting the Company’s operations in Colorado and Indiana. 
Regarding Colorado, the state legislature recently approved sports wagering throughout the state, subject to voter ratification on November 5, 2019.  In that statewide election, Colorado voters approved Proposition DD, thereby ratifying sports wagering in the state.  With the legislative and voter approval processes complete, the Colorado Division of Gaming can commence the rulemaking process and develop the regulatory framework that will govern sports wagering.  The Company believes that sports wagering could begin at its Bronco Billy’s Casino & Hotel and its Christmas Casino & Inn – as well as throughout the state via mobile sports wagering – in mid-2020.Regarding Indiana, the Company received regulatory approval to commence on-site sportsbook operations at its Rising Star Casino Resort beginning today.  Today’s soft opening will be followed by an official ribbon cutting for the grand opening of the new sportsbook on November 11, 2019 at 12:00 p.m.  The Company also expects that the three mobile sports wagering companies that it is working with will be operational in Indiana in the coming months, pending customary regulatory approvals.Forward-looking Statements
