Fullhouse Resorts Ltd announced today that the Nambé Pueblo Tribal Board and the Nambé Pueblo Gaming Enterprise Board, appointed by the Tribal Governor to oversee game operations, have entered into a game management agreement with Fullhouse subject to approval by the National Indian Game Board under federal law.

The management contract provides a management fee of 30% of the net proceeds payable to the full house for seven years after the gaming facility opens. Net proceeds are a measure of profitability defined by the National Indian Gaming Commission. Gross first-year revenue for the project is expected to be $36 million.

Greg Violet, Full House's chief operating officer, said, "Full House's team is looking forward to working with the Tribal and Gaming Enterprise Commission to realize their vision that these leaders must achieve economic prosperity for their people. Full House will help implement every step of the economic development plan so that we can share it in a mutually beneficial relationship."
Full House CEO Andre Hilliou said, "We are excited to report this agreement to our shareholders. We have committed to growing the company and this project will provide additional management fee revenue for the company and contribute to its bottom line."

The Full House has proposed a multi-level Master Plan of Economic Development for the tribe. The full-fledged first phase of the casino includes 500 slot machines, 12 table games, three restaurants, a gift shop, an entertainment lounge, and other amenities in a 50,000-square-foot facility. The first phase also has an indoor amusement park planned to offer family entertainment. Later stages of development include a hotel, convention center, and event center. Other future developments discussed about the tribe's 1,800-acre site on Highway 84/285 15 miles north of Santa Fe include retail stores, movie theaters, restaurants, and houses.
