American Place achieved new all-time property records during the second quarter, including a new revenue record
Full House Resorts grew its revenues in the second quarter of 2026 by 5.6 per cent to $78.1m, reflecting strong year-over-year growth at American Place Casino and Chamonix Casino Resort.
Adjusted EBITDA rose to $13.3m in the second quarter of 2026, a 19.5 per cent increase from $11.1m in the prior-year period, reflecting increased profitability at American Place and Chamonix/Bronco Billy’s. American Place and Chamonix are the company’s newest casinos, and both are expected to continue their growth as their operations ramp further.
“Our second quarter results highlight the strength of American Place and continuing progress at Chamonix,” said Daniel R. Lee, Chief Executive Officer of Full House Resorts. “American Place achieved new all-time property records during the second quarter, including a new revenue record. We believe we will continue to see meaningful growth in our temporary American Place facility in the coming quarters, and look forward to even greater contributions from our permanent American Place casino, which we expect to open in the second half of 2028.
“Regarding that permanent casino, we made significant progress toward its full financing, as well as the refinancing of all of our primary debt, in recent weeks. We remain confident in our refinancing goals, though some of the necessary legal work has taken longer to document than expected. Amongst other things, during the quarter, we received approval to operate our temporary American Place facility through February 2029. As our permanent American Place casino is expected to require approximately 18 to 24 months of construction, with its opening anticipated in the second half of 2028, this extension was important to future bondholders. It also helps provide continuity for our guests, employees, and local stakeholders while we build the permanent facility.
“Most recently, the Waukegan City Council approved several changes to our development agreement, including allowing us to keep the temporary casino’s Sprung structure for five years from the opening of the permanent casino. We believe it will be, by far, the largest event space in the region and we intend to use it to host special events and entertainment that can drive business to our casino. The permanent American Place facility was designed to be substantially larger and more amenity-rich than our existing temporary casino, with roughly double the overall square footage, a significant increase in gaming positions, enhanced food, beverage, and entertainment offerings, and a more upscale architectural design.
“At Chamonix/Bronco Billy’s, total revenues grew 11.7 per cent in the second quarter, reflecting new marketing initiatives that were unveiled in recent months. Adjusted Property EBITDA improved by $1.1m versus the same period last year, with a modest loss in April offset by positive contributions in May and June. We also continued to improve our management team, including the hiring of a new casino director, formerly with Wynn and Fontainebleau in Las Vegas, a few weeks ago. As awareness of Chamonix builds and the Colorado Springs market continues to develop, we believe there is meaningful upside to the property’s revenues and long-term profitability.”
