Gambling law in Colorado: what to know before you go

Colorado casinos sit in three old mining towns and on two reservations. Voters approved limited-stakes gaming in 1990, and casinos opened in Black Hawk, Central City and Cripple Creek in October 1991 with a $5 maximum bet. Later amendments raised the limits, and since Amendment 77 in 2020 the towns can remove bet limits altogether. In the southwest corner, the Southern Ute Tribe runs Sky Ute Casino in Ignacio and the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe runs Ute Mountain Casino in Towaoc.

• Regulator: the Colorado Division of Gaming and the Limited Gaming Control Commission oversee the commercial casinos and sports betting; the two tribal casinos are regulated by their tribes under federal law.
• Minimum age: 21 at all casinos and for sports betting.
• Casino types: commercial casinos in Black Hawk, Central City and Cripple Creek, plus two tribal casinos.
• Sports betting has been legal since May 1, 2020, both retail and online. Online casino games are not.

Before you visit any casino in Colorado, it's worth confirming a few things: the minimum age (21 in Colorado), what photo ID you'll need at the door, and the opening hours for the day you're going. Larger resort casinos often run 24/7 and add hotels, dining and entertainment, while smaller venues keep set hours and may focus on slots and electronic games. Setting a budget and a time limit before you go keeps the trip fun.
