Relevant Legal Statutes on Gambling in Colorado*

The minimum legal gambling age in Colorado depends upon the gambling activity:

  • Land-Based Casinos: 21
  • Poker Rooms: 21
  • Bingo: 18
  • Lottery: 18
  • Pari-Mutuel Wagering: 18

Legalized gambling arrived in 1991 for Black Hawk, Central City, and Cripple Creek. In 2008, Colorado voters approved raising the maximum bet in these towns from $5 to $100.

In November 2020, Colorado voters gave voters in these three towns the right to vote to add new games and raises the maximum bet limit for their municipality, potentially providing a boost to their economies.

The two National Historic Districts are Black Hawk/Central City and Cripple Creek. When legalized in 1991, the hope was that gaming in these towns would revive and protect them.

Slot Machine Private Ownership in Colorado

It is legal in the state of Colorado to own a slot machine privately if manufactured before 1984.

Gaming Control Board in Colorado

The Colorado Division of Gaming regulates gambling in the three historic mountain towns. This gaming control board is within Colorado’s Department of Revenue’s Enforcement Division.

Regulation of gaming at Colorado’s two tribal casinos is through their negotiated tribal-state compacts allowing Class III Vegas-style electronic gaming machines and table games.

These gaming compacts created Colorado’s two tribal gaming control commissions, which operate with support from the state gaming control board:

The largest casino in Colorado is Ameristar Casino Resort Spa Black Hawk with 1,513 gaming machines.

The second-largest casino is Monarch Casino Resort Spa Black Hawk with 1,200 gaming machines.

Commercial Casinos in Colorado

Loosest Slots In Blackhawk Colorado Casinos

There are 29 commercial casinos within the historic mountain towns of Black Hawk, Central City, and Cripple Creek including:

Black Hawk, 50 miles west of Denver, with 5,353 gaming machines:

Central City, 4 miles west of Black Hawk, with 1,479 gaming machines:

Cripple Creek, 112 miles south of Denver, with 2,736 gaming machines:

Central City is relatively more historic than the other two mountain towns. Black Hawk is much more of a typical casino town, nearly reminiscent of Las Vegas. Cripple Creek feels like a bit of both.

Black Hawk and Central City are only four miles apart. Consequently, there is a heated competition between these two towns for revenue since gambling legalized in 1991.

Payouts and Returns in Colorado

No theoretical payout limits exist for Colorado’s commercial or tribal casinos.

The Division of Gaming offers return statistics by slot machine denomination. These hold percentages come state-wide and are for each of the three historic mountain towns, but not by individual casino within those towns. Player win% is 100% minus the hold% provided.

From the recent month of October 2020, player return percentages for all denominations were:

  • State-wide: 92.64%
  • Black Hawk: 92.20%
  • Central City: 94.18% (highest town return)
  • Cripple Creek: 93.31%

These monthly reports also provide return statistics by slot machine denomination. For October 2020, they are:

For this month, $2 denomination slot machines in Black Hawk had the highest return at 96.35%. However, the state report shows there are only thirty $2 slot machines in Black Hawk, but careful evaluation of $2 returns in other months may indicate this high return was due to an outlier from a single large jackpot win.

The second-highest return is from the $1 denomination slot machines in Central City. As the state return shows 143 such machines there, it is less likely to be an outlier and more likely for a majority of the $1 slot machines in Central City.

Colorado’s two tribal casinos do not have publicly available return statistics.
