Item 1.01               Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
Amendment of Settlement Agreement
 
On January 28, 2015, Full House Resorts, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into that certain First Amendment to Settlement Agreement (the “Amended Settlement Agreement”), which modified portions of that certain Settlement Agreement dated as of November 28, 2014 (the “Settlement Agreement”) by and among the Company and Daniel R. Lee, Bradley M. Tirpak, and Craig W. Thomas (Messrs. Lee, Tirpak and Thomas, each a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), and collectively, the “Shareholder Group”).
 
The Settlement Agreement required, among other things, (i) a Board consisting of nine members, and (ii) that Raymond Hemmig be nominated and elected to the Board at the 2015 annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders. Pursuant to the resignation of Mr. Hemmig discussed in Item 5.02 below, the Company and the Shareholder Group agreed to amend the Settlement Agreement.
 
The Amended Settlement Agreement eliminates the requirement that Mr. Hemmig be nominated and elected to the Board, and acknowledges the reduction in the size of the Board from nine (9) to eight (8) Directors. A copy of the First Amendment to Settlement Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Departure of a Director
 
On January 27, 2015, Raymond Hemmig informed the Company of his decision to resign as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, effective immediately.  Mr. Hemmig’s decision to resign was not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. A copy of Mr. Hemmig’s resignation letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
 
Item 7.01               Regulation FD Disclosure
 
On January 29, 2015, the Company issued a press release reporting amendments to its credit facilities, plans to add suites to the new Silver Slipper Casino Hotel, scheduling of the 2015 annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders, appointment of the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors and the resignation of Director Raymond Hemmig (discussed in Item 5.02 above). A copy of such press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2. The information contained in Exhibit 99.2 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
