UNLV Online Gaming Abstract: Colorado

Background

Colorado approved limited gaming in 1990. The state permitted casinos to open in Cripple Creek, Black Hawk, and Central City with slot machines, blackjack, and poker.

Since gaming was to be limited, there was a $5 ceiling put on all individual bets.

The link below summarizes annual gambling statistics for Colorado: statewide, Black Hawk, Central City, and Cripple Creek. Below the link is a graph which shows revenue trends from 1993 until present for all three regions individually, as well as a total of all regions.
