Full House Resorts announces completion of structural iron for FireKeepers Casino

23 September 2008

AS VEGAS, Nevada -- (PRESS RELEASE)-- Full House Resorts announced today that the final piece of structural iron has been installed on top of the FireKeepers Casino. The installation was marked by a "topping off" ceremony on Friday where construction workers and tribal members of the Nottawaseppi Huron Band of Potawatomi Indians signed and decorated the final beam.

"We are very pleased with the progress of construction," said Full House Chief Executive Officer Andre Hilliou. "Everything thus far has been on schedule and we offer our congratulations to the entire team on completing this important milestone as we prepare for an opening next summer."

FireKeepers Casino is a new development at Exit 104 of Interstate 94 in Battle Creek, Michigan, with a planned grand opening in summer 2009. The facility is expected to open with 2,500 slot machines, 90 table games, 20 poker tables, five restaurants – including a 70-seat fine dining signature restaurant, a 300-seat buffet and 150-seat 24-hour coffee shop – and will have an enclosed 2,078-space parking garage attached to the casino. Gaming Entertainment Michigan LLC (GEM), a 50% joint venture with RAM Entertainment, LLC, is coordinating development of the FireKeepers Casino and will manage the casino operation after its opening for a seven-year period and will receive a 26% management fee.
