"We had a solid third quarter despite a few minor headwinds," said Daniel R. Lee, President and Chief Executive Officer of Full House Resorts. "In August 2016, severe flooding in Louisiana affected customers from several of the Silver Slipper's feeder markets, though guest volumes recently began returning to more normal levels. At Rising Star, this year's results were adversely affected by lower table games hold, which was 3.5 percentage points lower than in the third quarter of 2015. Our Bronco Billy's property performed solidly in its first full quarter under our ownership, and we expect to see improvement in its results over the coming quarters and years as we fully integrate the property into the Company."
