The Las Vegas-based casino operator expects consolidated net revenues between $37.8 million to $38.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to $39.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2019. The company also unveiled expansion plans for its Bronco Billy’s Casino and Hotel in Cripple Creek, which will now include 300 luxury guest rooms and suites.

Full House Resorts announced on Monday preliminary results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2020, which are subject to the completion of the final financial statements; and it also unveiled a  USD 180 M increase to the size of its planned expansion of Bronco Billy’s Casino and Hotel in Cripple Creek, Colorado.

The Las Vegas-based casino operator expects consolidated net revenues between  $37.8 million to $38.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to $39.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2019. 

Consolidated operating income for the fourth quarter of 2020 is expected to be in the range of $7.1 million to $8.0 million, compared to an operating loss of $0.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2019.

Net income is expected to be in the range of $1.2 million to $4.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, an improvement from a net loss of $4.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $9.3 million to $10.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, versus $2.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2019. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $38 million of cash and equivalents.

Additionally, the company also announced today that its board of directors has approved an increase to the size of its planned expansion of Bronco Billy’s Casino and Hotel in Cripple Creek, Colorado.

As noted in November 2020, Colorado voters approved favorable changes to the state’s gaming laws, including the elimination of betting limits and allowing Colorado casinos to offer new table games, such as baccarat and pai gow poker.

To reflect the new opportunity created by those changes, the company has increased the size of its planned Cripple Creek expansion by 67% to approximately 300 luxury guest rooms and suites, from its previously planned 180 guest rooms. Such plans were approved by the Cripple Creek Historic Preservation Commission and Cripple Creek City Council. Final approval requires a second reading by the Cripple Creek City Council, which is scheduled for consideration on February 3.

Other planned amenities for the expansion – including a new parking garage, meeting and entertainment space, outdoor rooftop pool, spa, and fine-dining restaurant – remain largely unchanged.

The expected investment to complete the Cripple Creek expansion is $180 million, which the company believes can be financed with debt. Assuming timely completion of such fundraising, the company intends to build the Cripple Creek expansion in one phase, with completion expected in the fourth quarter of 2022.
