Full House Resorts Settles Lawsuit
LAS VEGAS, Nevada – (PRESS RELEASE) -- Full House Resorts (Amex: FLL) announced today that the Nottawaseppi Huron Band of Potawatomi Indians (the Tribe) and the United States Department of Justice on behalf of the Bureau of Indian Affairs have entered into a settlement agreement with Citizens Exposing Truth About Casinos (CETAC) to settle long-standing litigation which has stalled the Tribe's casino gaming project near Battle Creek, Michigan. The terms of the settlement specifically include the dismissal of the pending lawsuit in United States District Court in Washington, DC and dismissal of an injunction previously entered against the BIA. The BIA is now free to take the land for the casino into trust on behalf of the Tribe and for the Tribe to proceed with the development of the gaming facility.
Andre M. Hilliou, Chief Executive Officer of Full House said, "This is the break-through we have been waiting for. After almost 10 years of planning and pre-development, we are now in a position to start the actual budgeting, design and construction of this facility. As I have said before, we intend to develop a world-class entertainment center, providing jobs and much needed economic vitality to an area, which recently was once again hit by the economic downturn."
