LAS VEGAS, NV, September 12, 2005. Full House Resorts, Inc. ("Full House") is issuing this release in response to the devastation that Hurricane Katrina brought to the New Orleans and Mississippi Gulf Coast region. While Full House has no business being conducted in the area, many of our friends and business acquaintances live and work in that area and our thoughts and prayers are with all of them and the thousands of others displaced by this tragedy. We applaud and congratulate the valiant efforts of all the first-responders and rescue workers who are devoting themselves to the citizens of the area.

Several years ago, Full House was involved in the development of the Hard Rock Casino in Biloxi, however that involvement ceased in 2003. As previously disclosed, Full House is only entitled to a consulting fee payable by Hard Rock Cafe International once the Biloxi casino opens. We have no other financial or management connection to the area, having sold the one parcel of land we owned in 2003.

Andre Hilliou, Chief Executive Officer of Full House, stated, "We have been shocked by the losses suffered in the New Orleans and Biloxi area. All of our prayers go out to everyone affected by this tragedy. While we have no business connection to the area, we can feel the suffering and hope for a speedy and safe recovery for all."
