Full House Resorts Announces Leadership Change
In a surprising turn of events, Lewis Fanger has been appointed as the President of Full House Resorts, a leading commercial casino operator in the United States. This announcement, made on July 11, 2025, comes with Fanger continuing to hold his roles as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Treasurer.

His financial acumen has been instrumental in improving existing assets and enabling expansion projects such as American Place in Illinois and Chamonix Casino Hotel in Colorado.
Under Fanger's leadership, Full House Resorts now operates six properties across the country, including Silver Slipper Casino and Hotel in Mississippi, Rising Star Casino Resort in Indiana, and Grand Lodge Casino in Nevada, among others.
