About two weeks after PPP loans were made eligible to small businesses deriving revenue from gaming, gaming facility operator Full House Resorts Inc. secured two loans worth roughly $5.6 million, according to a regulatory filing.
Lee's ex-husband — Daniel R. Lee — has been the director, president and CEO of Full House since 2014 (the couple filed for divorce in May 2021).
