 Exhibit 4.1 

DESCRIPTION OF THE REGISTRANT’S SECURITIES 

REGISTERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OF THE 

SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 

The following summary description of the Redeemable Units is based on and qualified by the Partnership’s Fifth Amended and Restated
Limited Partnership Agreement, effective March 31, 2019 (the “Limited Partnership Agreement”), a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 3.1 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K and is
incorporated herein by this reference. For a complete description of the terms and provisions of the Partnership’s Redeemable Units refer to the Limited Partnership Agreement. Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to
them in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. 
 The Partnership Redeemable Units are privately
offered. Profits and losses of the Partnership are allocated among the partners on a monthly basis in proportion to their capital accounts (the initial balance of which is the amount paid for their Redeemable Units). Distributions of profits will be
made at the sole discretion of the General Partner. 
 The Redeemable Units may not be transferred without giving written notice of the
assignment, transfer or disposition to the General Partner. No transfer or assignment will be permitted unless the General Partner is satisfied that such transfer or assignment will not jeopardize the Partnership’s status as a partnership for
federal income tax purposes. The transfer of Redeemable Units shall be subject to all applicable securities laws. No substitution may be made unless the General Partner consents to such substitution. A transferee who becomes a substituted limited
partner will be subject to all of the rights and liabilities of a limited partner of the Partnership. A transferee who does not become a substituted limited partner will be entitled to receive the share of the profits or the return of capital to
which such limited partner’s transferor would otherwise be entitled, but will not be entitled to vote, to an accounting of Partnership transactions, to receive tax information, or to inspect the Partnership’s books and records. Under the
New York Revised Limited Partnership Act (the “New York Act”), an assigning limited partner remains liable to the Partnership for any amounts for which such limited partner may be liable under such law regardless of whether any assignee to
whom such limited partner has assigned Redeemable Units becomes a substituted limited partner. 
 A limited partner may require the
Partnership to redeem some or all of its Redeemable Units at net asset value per Redeemable Unit as of the last day of any month (the “Redemption Date”). The right to redeem is contingent upon the Partnership’s having property
sufficient to discharge its liabilities on the Redemption Date and upon receipt by the General Partner of a written request for redemption in a form specified by the General Partner at least no later than 3:00 p.m. New York City time, on the third
to last business day prior to the Redemption Date, or such other notice period as the General Partner shall determine. The General Partner, in its discretion, may waive the three business day notice requirement. Because net asset value fluctuates
daily, limited partners will not know the net asset value applicable to their redemption at the time a notice of redemption is submitted. Payment for a redeemed interest will be made within 10 business days following the Redemption Date. The General
Partner has not experienced a situation in which the Partnership did not have sufficient cash to honor redemption requests. If this were to occur, the General Partner intends to honor redemption requests on a pro rata basis unless the General
Partner determines that a different methodology would be in the best interests of the Partnership. There is no fee charged to limited partners in connection with redemptions. The General Partner may also, at its sole discretion and upon 10
days’ notice to a limited partner, require that any limited partner redeem some or all of its Redeemable Units if such redemption is in the best interests of the Partnership. The General Partner may temporarily suspend redemptions if necessary
in order to liquidate commodity positions in an orderly manner. 
 On June 1, 2011, the Partnership began offering
“Class A” Redeemable Units and “Class Z” Redeemable Units pursuant to the offering memorandum. All Redeemable Units issued prior to June 1, 2011 were deemed Class A Redeemable Units. The rights, powers, duties
and obligations associated with investment in Class A Redeemable Units were not changed. Class A Redeemable Units are available to taxable U.S. individuals and institutions, U.S. tax exempt individuals and institutions and non-U.S. investors. Class Z Redeemable Units were first issued on August 1, 2011. Class Z Redeemable Units are offered to limited partners who receive advisory services from Morgan Stanley Smith
Barney LLC (doing business as Morgan Stanley Wealth Management) and certain employees of Morgan Stanley and/or its subsidiaries (and their family members). The Class of Redeemable Units that a limited partner receives upon a subscription will
generally depend upon the status of the limited partner, although the General Partner may determine to offer a particular Class of Redeemable Units to investors at its discretion. Class A Redeemable Units and Class Z Redeemable Units
are identical except that Class A Redeemable Units are subject to a monthly ongoing selling agent fee equal to 1/12 of 2.00% (a 2.00% annual rate) of the net assets of Class A Redeemable Units as of the end of each month. Class Z
Redeemable Units are not subject to a monthly ongoing selling agent fee. 

 Summary of the Limited Partnership Agreement 

The following is a summary explanation of some of the more significant terms and provisions of the Limited Partnership Agreement. Each
prospective investor should read the Limited Partnership Agreement thoroughly before investing. The following description is a summary only, is not intended to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by the Limited Partnership Agreement
itself. 
 Liability of Limited Partners 

The Partnership was formed as a partnership under the laws of the State of New York on March 22, 1999. In general, a limited partner will
not be liable for amounts in excess of such limited partner’s contributions to the Partnership and his, her or its share of Partnership assets and undistributed profits. The General Partner will be liable for all obligations of the Partnership
to the extent that assets of the Partnership are insufficient to discharge such obligations. 
 Management of Partnership Affairs

 The limited partners will not participate in the management or control of the Partnership. Under the Limited Partnership Agreement,
responsibility for managing the Partnership is vested solely in the General Partner. The General Partner may select one or more trading advisors to direct all trading for the Partnership. Other responsibilities of the General Partner include, but
are not limited to, the following: reviewing and monitoring the trading of the Advisors, administering redemptions of limited partners’ Redeemable Units, preparing monthly and annual reports to the limited partners, preparing and filing
necessary reports with regulatory authorities, calculating the net asset value, executing various documents on behalf of the Partnership and the limited partners pursuant to powers of attorney, and supervising the liquidation of the Partnership if
an event causing dissolution of Partnership occurs. 
 Sharing of Profits and Losses; Partnership Accounting 

Each partner will have a capital account, and its initial balance will be the amount such limited partner paid for his, her or its Redeemable
Units or, in the case of a contribution by the General Partner, its capital contribution (which shall be treated as units of general partnership interest). Any increase or decrease in the net assets of the Partnership will be allocated among the
partners on a monthly basis and will be added to or subtracted from the accounts of the partners in the ratio that each account bears to all accounts. 

Additional Partners 
 The
General Partner has the sole discretion to determine whether to offer for sale additional Redeemable Units and to admit additional limited partners. There is no limitation on the number of Redeemable Units which may be outstanding at any time. All
Redeemable Units offered by the Partnership will be sold at the Partnership’s then current net asset value per Redeemable Unit for each Class of Redeemable Units. The General Partner may make arrangements for the sale of additional
Redeemable Units in the future. 
 Restrictions on Transfer or Assignment 

A limited partner may transfer or assign his or her units upon notice to the General Partner. The assignment will be effective at the
beginning of the next month after the General Partner receives such notice. An assignee may not become a limited partner without the consent of the General Partner. The General Partner will not consent if it determines that the admission of the
assignee to the Partnership would endanger the Partnership’s tax status as a partnership or otherwise have adverse legal consequences. The transfer of Redeemable Units shall be subject to all applicable securities laws. An assignee not admitted
to the Partnership as a limited partner will share in the profits and capital of the Partnership, but will not be entitled to vote, to an accounting of Partnership transactions, to receive tax information, or to inspect the books and records of the
Partnership. An assigning limited partner will remain liable to the Partnership for any amounts for which such limited partner may be liable. 

Removal or Admission of General Partner 

The General Partner may be removed and successor general partners may be admitted upon the vote of limited partners owning more than 50% of
each Class of Redeemable Units then outstanding (excluding Redeemable Units owned by the General Partner, any entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the General Partner, or their
employees). 

 Amendments; Meetings 

The Limited Partnership Agreement may be amended if approved in writing by the General Partner and limited partners owning more than 50% of
each Class of Redeemable Units then outstanding. In addition, the General Partner may amend the Limited Partnership Agreement without the consent of the limited partners in order to clarify any clerical inaccuracy or ambiguity or reconcile any
inconsistency (including any inconsistency between the Limited Partnership Agreement and the Memorandum), to delete or add any provision of or to the Limited Partnership Agreement required to be deleted or added by the staff of any federal or state
agency, or to make any amendment to the Limited Partnership Agreement which the General Partner deems advisable (including but not limited to amendments necessary to effect the allocations proposed therein) provided that such amendment is not
adverse to the limited partners, or is required by law. 
 Any limited partner, upon written request addressed to the General Partner, may
obtain from the General Partner a list of the names and addresses of record of all limited partners and the number of Redeemable Units held by each for a purpose reasonably related to such limited partner’s interest as a limited partner in the
Partnership. Upon receipt of a written request, signed by limited partners owning at least 10% of each Class of Redeemable Units then outstanding, that a meeting of the Partnership be called to consider any matter upon which limited partners
may vote pursuant to the Limited Partnership Agreement, the General Partner, by written notice to each limited partner of record mailed within 15 days after such receipt, must call a meeting of the Partnership. Such meeting must be held at least 30
but not more than 60 days after the mailing of such notice and the notice must specify the date, a reasonable time and place, and the purpose of such meeting. 

At any such meeting, upon the approval by an affirmative vote of limited partners owning more than 50% of each Class of Redeemable Units
then outstanding (excluding Redeemable Units owned by the General Partner, any entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the General Partner, or their employees): (i) the Limited Partnership
Agreement may, with certain exceptions, be amended; (ii) a new general partner or general partners may be admitted if the General Partner elects to withdraw from the Partnership; (iii) any contracts with the General Partner or any of its
affiliates or any trading advisor may be terminated without penalty on 60 days’ notice; and (iv) the sale of all assets of the Partnership may be approved. However, no such action may be taken unless the General Partner has been furnished
with an opinion of counsel that the action to be taken will not adversely affect the status of the limited partners as limited partners under the New York Act and that the action is permitted under such law. 

At any such meeting, upon the approval by an affirmative vote of limited partners owning more than 50% of each Class of Redeemable Units
then outstanding (excluding Redeemable Units owned by the General Partner, any entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the General Partner, or their employees): (i) the Partnership may be
dissolved; (ii) the General Partner may be removed and a new general partner may be admitted; and (iii) the Partnership shall vote to terminate any collective investment vehicle operated by the General Partner into which the
Partnership’s assets are invested, in accordance with the organizational documents of such collective investment vehicle. 
 Reports
to Limited Partners 
 The books and records of the Partnership are maintained at its principal office. The limited partners have the
right at all times during reasonable business hours to have access to and copy the Partnership’s books and records for a purpose reasonably related to such limited partner’s interest as a limited partner in the Partnership. Within 30 days
of the end of each month, the General Partner will provide the limited partners with a financial report containing information relating to the net assets of the Partnership, net asset value per Class of Redeemable Units and net asset value per
Redeemable Unit for each Class of Redeemable Units as of the end of such month, as well as other information relating to the operations of the Partnership which is required to be reported to the limited partners by CFTC regulations. In
addition, if any of the following events occur, notice thereof will be mailed to each limited partner within seven business days of such occurrence: a decrease in the net asset value per Redeemable Unit of any Class of Redeemable Units to $400
or less as of the end of any trading day; any change in trading advisor(s); any change in commodity broker(s); any change in the General Partner; any material change in the Partnership’s trading policies or any material change in an
advisor’s trading strategies. In addition, a certified annual report of financial condition will be distributed to the limited partners not more than 90 days after the close of the Partnership’s fiscal year. Not more than 75 days, and if
required by the then applicable tax law, after the close of the fiscal year, tax information necessary for the preparation of the limited partners’ annual federal income tax returns will be distributed to the limited partners. 

Power of Attorney 
 To
facilitate the execution of various documents by the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership and the limited partners, the limited partners will appoint the General Partner, with power of substitution, their attorney-in-fact by executing the subscription agreement, including the power of attorney thereto. Such documents include, without limitation, the Limited Partnership Agreement and amendments and restatements
thereto, the customer agreement with MS & Co. and the management agreements. 

 Indemnification 

The Limited Partnership Agreement provides that the General Partner and its affiliates will have no liability to the Partnership or to any
limited partner for any loss suffered by the Partnership which arises out of any action or inaction of the General Partner or its affiliates if the General Partner or its affiliates in good faith determined that such course of conduct was in the
best interest of the Partnership and such course of conduct did not constitute negligence or misconduct of the General Partner or its affiliates. The General Partner and its affiliates will be indemnified by the Partnership, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, against any losses, judgments, liabilities, expenses and amounts paid in settlement of any claims sustained by them in connection with the Partnership, provided that the same were not the result of negligence or misconduct on the
part of the General Partner or its affiliates. No indemnification of the General Partner or its affiliates is permitted for losses resulting from a violation of federal or state securities law in connection with the offer or sale of the Redeemable
Units. 
 Dissolution of the Partnership 

The affairs of the Partnership will be wound up and the Partnership liquidated as soon as practicable upon the first to occur of the
following: (i) December 31, 2055; (ii) the vote to dissolve the Partnership by limited partners owning more than 50% of all Classes of Redeemable Units then outstanding; notice of which is sent by registered mail to the General Partner not
less than ninety (90) days prior to the effective date of such dissolution; (iii) assignment by the General Partner of all of its interest in the Partnership, or the withdrawal, removal, bankruptcy or any other event that causes the
General Partner to cease to be a general partner, unless the Partnership is continued as described in the Limited Partnership Agreement; (iv) the net asset value per Redeemable Unit of any Class of Redeemable Units declines on any business
day after trading to less than $400; (iii) the occurrence of any event which shall make it unlawful for the existence of the Partnership to be continued. In addition, the General Partner may, in its sole discretion, cause the Partnership to dissolve
if the Partnership’s aggregate net assets decline to less than $1,000,000.fll_Ex4_1

			FULL HOUSE RESORTS, INC.
		

		
			DESCRIPTION OF THE REGISTRANT'S SECURITIES REGISTERED PURSUANT TO 
		

		
			SECTION 12 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
		

		
			 
		

		
			Full House Resorts, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company," "we," "us" or "our") has one class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended: our Common Stock (as defined below).
		

		
			 
		

		
			The following description of our Common Stock is a summary and does not purport to be complete. This summary is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended ("Certificate of Incorporation") and our amended and restated bylaws ("By-laws"), each of which is filed as an exhibit to the Annual Report on Form 10-K of which this Exhibit 4.1 is a part. We encourage you to read our Certificate of Incorporation, our By-laws, and the applicable provisions of the General Corporation law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL") for additional information.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Authorized Shares
		

		
			 
		

		
			Our authorized capital consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("Common Stock"), and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("Preferred Stock"). All outstanding shares of our Common Stock are fully paid and non-assessable. As of December 31, 2019, we had 27,075,962 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and no shares of Preferred Stock issued or are outstanding. 
		

		
			 
		

		
			Common Stock
		

		
			 
		

		
			Dividends
		

		
			 
		

		
			Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to receive such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors out of legally available funds. The declaration and payment of dividends on our Common Stock is a business decision to be made by our board of directors from time to time based upon results of our operations and our financial condition and any other factors as our board of directors considers relevant. Under the DGCL, we can only pay dividends to the extent that we have surplus -- the extent by which the fair market value of our net assets exceeds the amount of our capital, or to the extent of our net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year. In addition, the payment of dividends may be restricted by loan agreements, indentures and other transactions entered into us from time to time.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Voting Rights
		

		
			 
		

		
			Holders of Common Stock have the exclusive power to vote on all matters presented to our stockholders, including the election of directors, except as otherwise provided by the DGCL or as provided with respect to any other class or series of stock, if any. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share. An affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders at which a quorum is present and entitled to vote thereon is sufficient for approval of all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. There is no cumulative voting.
		

		
			 
		

		
			

		 

		

		
			Liquidation Rights
		

		
			 
		

		
			In the event we are dissolved and our affairs our wound up, after we pay or make adequate provision for all of our debts and liabilities in accordance with applicable law, each holder of our Common Stock will receive dividends pro rata out of assets that we can legally use to pay distributions.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Other Rights
		

		
			 
		

		
			Subject to the preferential rights of any other class or series of stock, all shares of Common Stock have equal dividend, distribution, liquidation and other rights, and have no preference or appraisal rights, except for any appraisal rights provided by the DGCL. Furthermore, holders of our Common Stock have no conversion, sinking fund or redemption rights, or rights to subscribe for any of our securities, except that our Certificate of Incorporation imposes certain obligations on holders of our Common Stock relating to compliance with the gaming authorities and empowers the Company to redeem shares of Common Stock under certain limited circumstances. For additional information, see "Description of Governmental Gaming Regulations" in Exhibit 99.1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Listing
		

		
			 
		

		
			Our Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "FLL."
		

		
			 
		

		
			Preferred Stock
		

		
			 
		

		
			Prior to the issuance of any shares of our Preferred Stock, an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation must be adopted by our board of directors and approved by our stockholders to designate one or more series of such Preferred Stock and to fix, for each series, the designations, powers and preferences and the relative, participating, optional or other special rights of the shares of each series and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, as are permitted by the DGCL. Our Certificate of Incorporation does not include a "blank check" provision that would otherwise authorize our board of directors to issue our Preferred Stock in any number or series and to determine the rights of each series without needing additional stockholder approval.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Certain Anti-Takeover Effects of our Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws and Delaware Law
		

		
			 
		

		
			General. Certain provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and our By-laws, and certain provisions of the DGCL could make our acquisition by a third party, a change in our incumbent management, or a similar change of control more difficult. These provisions, which are summarized below, are likely to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited proposal for the restructuring or sale of all or substantially all of our assets or an unsolicited takeover attempt. The summary of the provisions set forth below does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our Certificate of Incorporation and our By-laws and the applicable provisions of the DGCL.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Advance Notice Requirements. Stockholders wishing to nominate persons for election to our board of directors at an annual meeting or to propose any business to be considered by our stockholders at an annual meeting must comply with certain advance notice and other requirements set forth in our By-laws. Likewise, if our board of directors has determined that directors shall be elected at a special meeting of stockholders, stockholders wishing to nominate or re-nominate persons for election to our board of directors at such special meeting must comply with certain advance notice and other requirements set forth in our By-laws.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Special Meetings. Our By-laws provide that special meetings of stockholders may only be called by our board of directors or at the request in writing of stockholders owning at least forty percent (40%) of the shares entitled to vote.
		

		
			 
		

		
			

		 

		

		
			Board Vacancies. Any vacancy on our board of directors may be filled by a majority vote of the directors then in office, though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Any director elected to fill a vacancy shall hold office for a term expiring at the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are elected and qualified. If one or more directors shall resign from our board of directors effective at a future date, a majority of directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, shall have the power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such resignation or resignations shall become effective, and each director so chosen shall hold office as provided for the filling of other vacancies.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Exclusive Forum Bylaws Provision. Our By-laws require that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and unless the Company consents in writing to an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the Eighth Judicial District Court of Clark County, Nevada, will be the sole and exclusive forum for any internal corporate claims. "Internal corporate claims" means claims, including claims in the right of the corporation, (i) that are based upon a violation of a duty by a current or former director or officer or stockholder in such capacity, or (ii) any action arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL. 
		

		
			 
		

		
			Although we believe this provision benefits us by providing increased consistency in the consistent application of law in the type of lawsuits to which it applies, the provision may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against our directors and officers.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Authorized but Unissued Shares. Our authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock are generally available for our board of directors to issue without stockholder approval. We may use these additional shares for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of our authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of our company by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or other transaction.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Section 203 of the DGCL. We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a Delaware corporation that is listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 shareholders from engaging in a "business combination" with an "interested stockholder" for a three-year period following the time that such stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. A "business combination" includes, among other things, certain mergers, asset or stock sales or other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. An "interested stockholder" is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or did own within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status, 15% or more of the corporation's outstanding voting stock. Under Section 203, a business combination between a corporation and an interested stockholder is prohibited unless it satisfies one of the following conditions:
		

		
			 
		

			
	
			
				 ·
			

			
	
			
			before the stockholder became interested, the board of directors approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

		
			 
		

			
	
			
				 ·
			

			
	
			
			upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding, shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers, and employee stock plans, in some instances; or

		
			 
		

			
	
			
				 ·
			

			
	
			
			at or after the time the stockholder became interested, the business combination was approved by the board of directors of the corporation and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.
