BOS 2025 COLORADO
With brilliant mountain views, great snow skiing and amazing outdoor adventures, Colorado brings much more to the table than simply a great casino experience. The Centennial State also has one of the most unique casino industries in the country—plenty of gambling with an Old West feel. The state legalized casino gambling in 1991 in three Colorado mining towns—Black Hawk, Cripple Creek and Central City. Black Hawk is the state’s largest gaming town with 13 casinos, and serves the Denver market. The Ameristar, Monarch and Isle properties are the market leaders. Beyond those mining towns, the Four Corners region of Colorado is home to two casinos run by Native American tribes.
Monarch Casino Resort Spa Black Hawk returns as the king of Colorado gaming as Best Overall Gaming Resort with the second and third place also the same as in 2024. This property features 60,000 square feet of casino space and a 23-story hotel tower with 500 guest rooms and suites. Visitors will also find an upscale spa and pool facility, three restaurants, bar and cocktail options and more. The casino once again registered royally as Best Casino, Best Progressive Slots, Casino Where You Feel Luckiest, Best Penny Slots, Best 50-cent Slots, Best Dollar Slots, Best $5+ Slots, Best Variety Of Slots, Best High-End Slot Area, Best Slot Club, Best Comps, Best Players Club Lounge, Best Hosts, Best VIP Service, Friendliest Casino, Best Casino Cocktail Service and Best Keno.
