Red Rock Resorts Announces Second Quarter 2020 Results
Red Rock Resorts, Inc. reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.
The unprecedented challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic have significantly impacted the Company’s business operations.
On March 17, 2020, the Governor of Nevada ordered a statewide shutdown of all nonessential businesses, including casinos, in an effort to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Similarly, the Graton Casino Resort, which is managed by the Company, closed on March 17th. What originally began as a thirty day shutdown in Nevada ended seventy-nine days later.
On June 4, 2020, the Company reopened its Red Rock, Green Valley Ranch, Santa Fe Station, Boulder Station, Palace Station and Sunset Station properties, together with its Wildfire properties. The Graton Casino Resort also partially reopened on June 18, 2020.
Second Quarter Results:
Net revenues were $108.5 million for the second quarter of 2020, a decrease of 77.5%, or $374.4 million, from $482.9 million for the same period of 2019, due to the closure of all of the Company’s properties, as explained above.
Net loss was $118.4 million for the second quarter of 2020, a decrease of $111.4 million, from a net loss of $7.1 million for the same period of 2019, due to the closure of all of the Company’s properties, as explained above.
Adjusted EBITDA(1) was negative $17.3 million for the second quarter of 2020, a decrease of 115.0%, or $132.5 million, from $115.2 million in the same period of 2019, primarily due to the closure of all of the Company’s properties, as explained above.
Las Vegas Operations
Net revenues from Las Vegas operations were $101.0 million for the second quarter of 2020, a decrease of 77.9%, or $356.7 million, from $457.8 million in the same period of 2019, due to the closure of all of the Company’s Las Vegas properties, as explained above.
Adjusted EBITDA from Las Vegas operations was negative $12.1 million for the second quarter of 2020, a decrease of 111.4%, or $118.1 million, from $106.0 million in the same period of 2019, primarily due to the closure of all of the Company’s Las Vegas properties, as explained above.
Despite the severe impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, our Las Vegas properties showed strong performance for the post-reopening period from June 4 through June 30, 2020. As compared to the same period in the prior year, net revenues decreased 23.3%, Adjusted EBITDA increased 46.8% and Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 2,192 basis points to 45.9%, yielding our highest June EBITDA margin ever. The improved operating results were due in large part to our streamlined cost structure. However, these operating trends are based on the limited period that the properties were open in June and there can be no assurance that these trends will continue at our properties that have reopened or recur at our other properties when or if they reopen.
Native American Management
Adjusted EBITDA from Native American operations was $5.2 million for the second quarter of 2020, a 76.3% decrease from $22.0 million in the same period of 2019, primarily due to the temporary closure of Graton Casino Resort.
Balance Sheet Highlights
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2020 were $270.1 million and total principal amount of debt outstanding at the end of the second quarter was $3.3 billion.

Platipus Secures Ontario Supplier Licence
Platipus Gaming has officially obtained a supplier licence to operate in the province of Ontario, Canada. This licence allows the company to provide gaming content to licensed operators in the province and represents a significant milestone in Platipus’ ongoing focus on regulatory alignment, operational consistency, and responsible product supply.
Importance for Operators
For Ontario-licensed operators, partnering with a licensed supplier like Platipus ensures that content is delivered in line with AGCO requirements. This reduces the need for additional regulatory assessments and supports smoother integration of third-party content into licensed operations. All products are designed and supplied with responsible gambling and player protection in mind, adhering to the technical and operational standards required by the Commission.
Strategic Significance for Platipus Gaming
The Ontario licence is a reflection of Platipus’ compliance-by-design philosophy. Regulatory considerations are integrated early in the development process, rather than being addressed as a final checkpoint. This approach ensures that products, processes, and operational structures are prepared for regulated environments from the outset.
Operating under AGCO also positions Platipus to engage with other regulated markets where Ontario standards are often referenced as benchmarks. The licence supports the company’s long-term goal of maintaining consistent product quality, operational reliability, and responsible content supply across multiple jurisdictions.
Company Perspectives
A spokesperson from the Legal Department commented: “We are pleased to receive our supplier licence in Ontario and to make our gaming content and solutions available. Following a comprehensive application process, we can now formally present this achievement as part of our regulated market presence.”
Viktoriia Andreasen, Head of Marketing, added: “Ontario stands out as a well-structured and highly organised jurisdiction. It represents an important regulated market with strong operational standards”.
Ontario supplier licence confirms that Platipus can deliver content in one of the world’s most tightly regulated iGaming markets, with all technical, operational, and compliance requirements addressed.
This milestone represents more than a geographic expansion. It signals that Platipus Gaming has structured processes, robust governance, and a compliance-focused development approach, supporting sustainable regulated operations and long-term market participation.
