LEE IACOCCA TO CONSULT FOR FULL HOUSE RESORTS

 

LAS VEGAS, September 21, 2006 - Full House Resorts (AMEX: FLL) announced today that it has entered into a consulting agreement with Lee Iacocca, one of its directors. The former Chrysler Corporation Chairman and CEO will provide services to help market and advertise the company and its projects over the next three years. In exchange, Mr. Iacocca will receive shares of the company’s common stock in accordance with the company’s 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan. The services will include the use of Mr. Iacocca’s name and likeness and appearances by Mr. Iacocca as his schedule permits.

In the 1980’s Iacocca turned around Chrysler Corporation, which had been on the verge of bankruptcy and, by appearing in media advertising, made famous the line “If you can find a better car, buy it.” He reprised this role in the summer of 2005 appearing along with the likes of Jason Alexander and Snoop Dog in a series of TV commercials for Chrysler.

Andre M. Hilliou, Chief Executive Officer of Full House said, “We are pleased that Mr. Iacocca has agreed to lend his business persona to our company and show our partners, clients and customers the quality of effort and product this company offers. With our casino projects in various stages of development, we are looking forward to the future when advertising our properties will be an important part of our business.”
