Colorado’s mountain casinos thrive in October despite looming tribal sports betting dispute
Colorado’s mountain casinos saw a strong October, with gaming revenue climbing nearly 4% compared to last year. The three key regions—Black Hawk, Cripple Creek, and Central City—brought in over $94 million. However, a legal dispute over tribal sports betting now threatens to reshape how gaming funds are managed across the state.
Black Hawk remained the top earner, pulling in $71.1 million—a rise from $68.3 million in October 2022. Cripple Creek followed with the largest percentage gain, jumping 5.3% to $16.9 million. Only Central City struggled, dropping 2.9% to $6.18 million.
October’s $94 million haul marks a 3.9% increase from last year, with Black Hawk and Cripple Creek driving gains. But the ongoing tribal sports betting dispute could alter tax policies and revenue distribution. The outcome will likely impact both casino operators and the wider economy in Colorado.
