Colorado’s Casinos Generate Nearly $93 Million in February
Colorado’s limited‑gaming sector extended its rebound into February, bolstering state receipts and outperforming broader domestic trends.
- Colorado’s limited-growing casino sector reports nearly $93 million in revenue for February
- Slot machines and table games contribute to steady monthly gains amid regional dominance
- State’s diversified gaming market includes expanding sports betting and online markets, boosting fiscal upside
Colorado’s 33 casinos produced nearly $93 million in gaming revenue, continuing gains that began earlier in the fiscal year. This is a near 10% uplift to February 2025.
Slot play remains the main revenue engine, with machines accounting for the lion’s share of receipts ($77,578,287.02) while table games posted a sharp 23% percentage gain from February 2025.
January also posted strong results, supporting a multi‑month uptick that has benefited both operators and municipal revenues. Full House Resorts’ Colorado operations reported solid quarterly sales, underscoring private‑sector momentum.
Black Hawk Takes the Lead
Black Hawk’s larger properties dominate the ecosystem, generating the bulk of statewide receipts over $70 million, while Cripple Creek and Central City delivered meaningful year‑over‑year increases.
Regional performance reflects proximity to Denver, tourism flows and targeted promotions that appear to have drawn higher‑value play to table games at several venues.
Colorado’s sustained rebound comes against a backdrop of more tempered growth in other major regulated markets, highlighting the state’s relative outperformance.
February GGR results in Pennsylvania – one of the largest US gaming jurisdictions – showed only modest overall expansion, with gains largely driven by incremental slot machine growth rather than broad-based momentum. According to Action Network, the national growth in revenue for traditional casinos was only up 0.9% in January. This highlights the extent of Colorado’s February 9.8% trajectory.
