About Golden Mardi Gras Casino

Golden Mardi Gras Casino is a Colorado-licensed gaming property at 300 Main Street in Black Hawk, Colorado, owned and operated by Twin River Worldwide Holdings, Inc. (now Bally’s Corporation). The casino opened in 2012 and runs 650 gaming machines and 15 table games on a 24/7 schedule, with a restaurant, self-parking, and valet on site. The minimum gambling age is 21, and gaming is regulated by the Colorado Division of Gaming. Website: goldenmardigras.com.

Black Hawk’s Main Street corridor runs through the heart of the Clear Creek gulch gaming district at approximately 8,000 feet of elevation, roughly 40 miles west of Denver via Colorado 119 and US-6. The 300 Main Street address places Golden Mardi Gras at the lower end of Main Street, toward the southern entrance to the district from Clear Creek Canyon. Twin River Worldwide Holdings acquired and rebranded as Bally’s Corporation in 2021, making its Colorado gaming properties — including Golden Mardi Gras, Golden Gulch Casino at 321 Main Street, and Golden Gates Casino at 261 Main Street — part of the Bally’s national portfolio. All three share the goldenmardigras.com online presence.

The 2012 opening placed Golden Mardi Gras in the post-2009 era of Black Hawk casino development, when the raised bet limit to $100 and authorization of Roulette and Craps spurred significant investment in the district. Golden Mardi Gras launched with the full post-expansion game menu from its first day of operation.

Table Games and Gaming Floor

Golden Mardi Gras Casino runs 15 table game positions including 3 Card Poker, Blackjack, Craps, and Roulette, alongside 650 gaming machines covering slot machines and video poker.

At 15 tables, Golden Mardi Gras has one of the larger table game floors in the Black Hawk Main Street corridor — capable of running Craps, Roulette, Blackjack, and 3 Card Poker simultaneously across multiple concurrent sessions. Craps and Roulette are available under Colorado’s post-2009 commercial gaming authorization. The 650-machine slot inventory is a substantial floor, placing Golden Mardi Gras in the upper tier of Black Hawk properties by machine count.

The Mardi Gras branding — New Orleans festival iconography — is atypical for Black Hawk’s predominantly mining-era aesthetic, giving the property a different visual identity than the frontier-themed casinos that dominate the Cripple Creek and Central City corridors.

Dining, Valet, and Amenities

A restaurant, self-parking, and valet are on site at Golden Mardi Gras Casino. No hotel is part of this property. Restaurant hours and current menu should be confirmed at goldenmardigras.com. The valet service provides a convenient parking option for visitors on peak weekend days when Main Street’s self-parking structures are busy.

The 300 Main Street location is at the lower end of Black Hawk’s Main Street, where vehicles arrive from the Clear Creek Canyon direction via Colorado 119. The goldenmardigras.com website serves Golden Mardi Gras and the two other Bally’s Black Hawk properties — Golden Gulch at 321 Main and Golden Gates at 261 Main.
