BLACK HAWK & CENTRAL CITY CASINO LISTINGS
In 1991, limited stakes gambling was approved for 3 small
mountain towns in Colorado. Two of the three, Black Hawk and
Central City which are located within a couple of miles of
each other, are about a half an hours drive from Denver. The
third gambling town, Cripple Creak, is located near Colorado
Springs and Pueblo in Southern Colorado.
Gaming is limited to $5 per bet no matter what gaming device
you are using. Blackjack tables are very popular in most of
the casinos along with rows upon rows of slot machines. Other
tables common in Colorado casinos are; let it ride, 3 card
poker, crazy 6's and some casinos have separate poker rooms.
With the advent of limited stakes gambling, these small towns
were revived with generally small casinos in existing buildings.
Nevertheless, with the overwhelming popularity, many new 'Vegas
style' casinos have sprung up with 4 star restaurants and
fine lodging. However, if you would like the rustic Colorado
cabin-like casino experience, there are plenty still surviving
today to suit your needs.
There are two ways to get to Black Hawk and Central City.
One involves a beautiful drive up the windy Clear creek Canyon
on US 6 out of Golden. Follow the scenic canyon to highway
119 and vere right, Black Hawk is located about 7 miles past
the turn and Central City is only 1 mile further up the road
from there. The second option is to take I-70 west out of
the metro area and exit shortly before Idaho Springs at Colorado
119 which will lead you up the hill into Black Hawk &
Central City.
Cripple creek is located about an hour outside of Colorado
Springs. Take US 24 out of the springs and travel west to
highway 67. Turn left (south) and follow highway 67 all the
way into Cripple creek. |
