Winter weather put a damper on Silver Slipper, Full House

Full House Resorts, the Las Vegas company that owns Silver Slipper Casino, announced quarterly results this morning and said it had a net loss of $1.1 million for the first quarter (January-March), compared to net income of $0.6 million for the prior first quarter.

At its Silver Slipper Casino in Hancock County, the company said it recorded revenue of $12.3 million compared to revenue of $13.7 million in the prior-year period primarily due to severe weather conditions.

The six-story $17.7 million 142-room Silver Slipper Hotel now under construction is expected to open by early 2015. Full House said it anticipates the hotel will “favorably impact customer loyalty and financial performance by allowing guests to extend their visits at Silver Slipper Casino.”
