Regional casino operator Full House Resorts appointed a former investment banking executive to its board of directors. Michael Hartmeier’s appointment is effective immediately. He will serve until the company’s 2021 annual meeting of stockholders.
In his 25-year career, Hartmeier completed more than $125 billion in financing and advisory assignments. From 2008 through this past July, he headed the lodging, gaming, and leisure investment banking group at Barclays.
“We have appreciated Mike’s thoughtful advice on the capital markets for many years,” Full House CEO Dan Lee said in a statement.
Hartmeier’s prior roles include group head positions in hospitality and gaming for Lehman Brothers and Credit Suisse First Boston. He currently serves on the board at DiamondRock Hospitality Company, a real estate investment trust, according to CDC Gaming Reports.
Full House operates five casinos in four states: Stockman’s in Fallon, Nevada; Hyatt Regency in Lake Tahoe, Nevada; Rising Star in Rising Sun, Indiana; Bronco Billy’s in Cripple Creek, Colorado; and Silver Slipper in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. The company is seeking approval for a $375 million American Place casino project in Waukegan, Illinois.
