Lee Dan steps down as Executive of Full House, role taken over by Lewis Fanger
In an unexpected move, Lewis Fanger has been named as the president of Full House Resorts, a commercial casino company based in the United States. The announcement was made by David McKee, who is associated with our website.
Fanger, who has been an invaluable part of Full House Resorts' team for the past decade, assumes the role of president, chief financial officer (CFO), and treasurer of the company. His tenure began on July 11, 2025, when he joined the company as Senior Vice President and CFO.
Before joining Full House Resorts, Fanger held financial leadership roles at Wynn Resorts, Creative Casinos, and Pinnacle Entertainment. In his role at Full House Resorts, Fanger has been instrumental in providing financial leadership, steering the company’s growth from a small regional casino operator to one of the fastest-growing companies in the industry.
Under Fanger's leadership, Full House Resorts has improved existing assets and expanded through new developments such as American Place in Illinois and Chamonix Casino Hotel in Colorado. His financial leadership has contributed significantly to the growth of the company over the past decade.
Dan Lee, the CEO of Full House Resorts, will continue to serve in his role after extending his employment agreement last month. Fanger will continue to hold the positions of CFO and treasurer in the company alongside Lee. The promotion of Fanger to president is intended to ensure continuity of leadership at the company.
Full House Resorts operates casinos and related hospitality facilities across several states, including properties like American Place, Silver Slipper Casino and Hotel, Chamonix Casino Hotel, Bronco Billy’s Casino, Rising Star Casino Resort, and the Grand Lodge Casino. Fanger’s role encompasses overseeing financial operations as well as broader company leadership to support ongoing growth and strategic initiatives.
The first earnings call for Fanger as president will take place on August 7. This announcement does not provide information about any changes in the operations or management structure of Full House Resorts, nor does it specify any changes in the roles or responsibilities of other executives in the company.
