The Centennial State’s three mountain casino towns combined to generate $94.2 million in August adjusted gross proceeds, a 4% drop from $98.1 million in July. It was also 2.5% lower than the $96.6 million a year ago.
Despite these drops, August’s numbers produced the third-highest monthly total for the year, behind only July and March ($95.9 million).
All of Colorado’s retail casinos sit within three towns, each an hour or so into the mountains from its two major cities. Black Hawk and Central City are adjacent to one another west of Denver, while Cripple Creek similarly serves Colorado Springs residents.
Many of these casinos have entered into sports betting partnerships, but Colorado online casinos remain illegal.
