About Bullwhacker’s Black Hawk Canyon and Grand Plateau Casino

Bullwhacker’s Black Hawk Canyon and Grand Plateau Casino is a Colorado-licensed casino hotel at 101 Gregory Street in Black Hawk, Colorado, regulated by the Colorado Division of Gaming. The floor runs 570 gaming machines — Blackjack, progressive video poker, and standard Video Poker — with a hotel, restaurant, and self-parking on site. A VIP Loyalty Club with a tier structure rewards regular guests. The minimum gambling age is 21. Phone: (800) 327-5050; website: blackhawkcolorado.com/bullwhackers.php.

Gregory Street is the connecting road between Black Hawk’s lower Main Street district and Central City’s gaming corridor, running through the narrow part of the Clear Creek gulch where the two gaming towns meet. The 101 Gregory Street address places Bullwhacker’s at the upper end of Black Hawk’s gaming district near this junction — within the corridor of casinos, hotel towers, and parking structures that make up the densest section of Colorado’s northern gaming market. Black Hawk and Central City together form a single continuous gaming destination from a visitor’s standpoint, accessible from Denver roughly 40 miles east via Colorado 119 and US-6 through Clear Creek Canyon.

The Bullwhacker’s name references the 19th-century ore wagon drivers of the Colorado mining era — a naming theme consistent with the frontier-and-mining-history aesthetic adopted by several of Colorado’s original gaming properties. Detected amenities for this property include hotel, golf, a sportsbook, poker facilities, ADA-accessible features, and shopping — giving the property a broader amenity footprint than its primary gaming floor data suggests.

Gaming at Bullwhacker’s Casino

Bullwhacker’s Black Hawk Canyon and Grand Plateau Casino’s floor carries 570 gaming machines split between Blackjack (as a machine-based electronic format), progressive video poker, and standard Video Poker under Colorado Limited Gaming regulations. The presence of progressive video poker alongside standard video poker indicates a linked-jackpot network — progressive video poker accumulates a growing jackpot across multiple linked machines that pays on royal flush (and sometimes lesser premium hands).

At 570 machines, Bullwhacker’s occupies a mid-to-upper-scale position for the Black Hawk gaming district, which ranges from fewer than 100 machines at the smallest properties to several thousand at the major hotel-casino complexes. No dedicated table game count appears in our primary directory data beyond the Blackjack machine format; the current floor configuration and any live table games should be confirmed at blackhawkcolorado.com/bullwhackers.php or by calling (800) 327-5050. Promotions and events are maintained on the property website.

VIP Loyalty Club

Bullwhacker’s Casino operates a VIP Loyalty Club with a tier structure. Members earn loyalty benefits through gaming activity at the property, with tier advancement based on volume of play. Promotions and events are maintained at the property website. Current tier details, point rates, and active promotions are available via blackhawkcolorado.com/bullwhackers.php or (800) 327-5050.

Hotel, Dining, and Amenities

A hotel and restaurant are on site, with self-parking available. Detected amenities include golf, a sportsbook, poker facilities, ADA accessibility, and shopping — a notably broad detected footprint for a property whose primary gaming data is limited. Colorado authorized retail sports betting at licensed casinos in 2020; whether the Bullwhacker’s sportsbook detection reflects an active sportsbook or a kiosk partner integration should be confirmed directly.

The hotel makes Bullwhacker’s a functional overnight destination for visitors to the Black Hawk gaming corridor without requiring external lodging arrangements. The 101 Gregory Street location is walkable to Main Street casino properties and parking structures. Our directory data classifies this property at low confidence; operating details beyond the basic gaming floor and hotel should be verified before visiting.

570-machine casino hotel on Gregory Street with a VIP Loyalty Club — verify the full amenity stack before visiting

Bullwhacker's Black Hawk Canyon and Grand Plateau Casino occupies the Gregory Street junction between Black Hawk and Central City with 570 machines, a hotel, and a VIP Loyalty Club. The detected amenity data (golf, sportsbook, poker, shopping) suggests a broader property footprint than the primary gaming data alone reflects — worth verifying at blackhawkcolorado.com/bullwhackers.php or (800) 327-5050 before building a visit around those amenities. The low data confidence rating means calling ahead is particularly worthwhile for this property.
