Vol. 8 No. 7, July 2009, Nutshell
Colorado Betting Increase In Effect
A betting limit increase that was approved by voters last November goes into effect July 2 at Colorado casinos. The maximum will increase from $5 to $100. In light of the high-limit gambling expected to take place at the state’s casinos, many gambling properties are expanding to accommodate the expected increased traffic. “This is something that was necessary for the Colorado gaming industry just to be on the same page with all the other jurisdictions that offer gaming,” said J.J. Garcia, assistant general manager for the Lodge Casino in Black Hawk and Gilpin casinos.
