Explanatory Note

     This Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) is being filed solely to replace Exhibit 10.1 that was filed with the original Form 8-K dated August 20, 2013 (the “Original Filing”) with Exhibit 10.1 filed with this Amendment. The description of the transaction presented under Item 1.01 is identical to that in the Original Filing. No other changes are being made to the Original Filing, and this Amendment has not been updated to reflect events occurring after the Original Filing or to modify or update those disclosures affected by subsequent events.

 

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

  

On August 16, 2013, Full House Resorts, Inc.’s wholly-owned subsidiary Gaming Entertainment (Indiana) LLC d/b/a/ Rising Star Casino Resort (the “Company”) entered into a Hotel Lease / Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Rising Sun/Ohio County First, Inc., an Indiana non-profit corporation (the “Landlord”).

 

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company will operate the Landlord’s 104 room hotel (the “Hotel”), adjacent to the Rising Star Casino Resort. The Hotel is currently under construction and is scheduled to open in the fourth quarter of 2013. The Agreement provides that the Company will be the sole lessee of the Hotel and assume all responsibilities, revenues, expenses, profits and losses related to the Hotel’s operations. The initial term of the Agreement is for 10 years from the date the Hotel is first open to the public (subject to certain early termination rights of the parties under the Agreement), with an option to extend for an additional 10-year term. During the initial term, the Company will have the exclusive option to purchase the Hotel. Within one year after the expiration of the initial term, if the Company has not exercised its option to purchase the Hotel, the Landlord may exercise its right to sell the Hotel to the Company, and the Company must purchase the Hotel.

 

Beginning on January 1, 2014, the Company will pay a fixed monthly rent payment of approximately $83,000 during the initial term of the Agreement. The rent payments under the Agreement will offset the purchase price of the Hotel if either the Company or the Landlord exercises their rights as described above. The purchase price would be the unamortized balance of the Landlord’s loan related to the construction of the Hotel.

 

The foregoing description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
