Lewis Fanger named President of Full House Resorts
New role consolidates leadership as company eyes continued expansion across US markets.
Key points:
– Lewis Fanger promoted to President while retaining CFO and Treasurer titles
– Role previously held by CEO Daniel Lee, who extended his contract in June
– Promotion comes amid company growth, including developments in Illinois and Colorado
Full House Resorts has announced the promotion of Lewis Fanger to President, effective 11 July 2025. Fanger will continue to serve as the company’s CFO and Treasurer.
The position of President was previously held by CEO Daniel Lee, who signed a contract extension last month to remain in his role.
Lee said: “Lewis’s financial leadership has helped enable that growth, allowing us to improve our existing assets and expand the Company through new developments such as American Place and Chamonix.”
Fanger joined Full House Resorts in 2015. Over the past decade, he has reportedly played a key role in supporting the company’s evolution from a small regional operator to a multi-property gaming group with assets across five US states.
Good to know: Full House appointed Joshua Le Duff as SVP and Chief Marketing Officer in May
The group currently operates six properties across Illinois, Mississippi, Colorado, Indiana and Nevada.
These include American Place in Waukegan, which opened in 2023 and Chamonix Casino Hotel in Cripple Creek, which began operations in late 2024.
The company has been actively investing in both physical expansion and leadership appointments. In May, Full House granted 29,940 restricted shares to Le Duff as part of his onboarding agreement, aligning incentives with long-term company performance.
Fanger’s appointment comes during a broader period of structural consolidation at Full House, as the company continues to navigate a competitive land-based casino market while pursuing new development opportunities.
No changes have been announced regarding other executive roles at the company.
