About Red Dolly Casino

Red Dolly Casino is a Colorado-licensed gaming property at 530 Gregory Street in the Black Hawk–Central City corridor, Colorado, owned by Luna Entertainment Inc. The casino has operated continuously since 1992 — one of the first properties established in Colorado’s mountain gaming towns following the passage of Amendment 4 in November 1990. The floor runs 126 gaming machines — slot machines and video poker — with a restaurant and self-parking on site. The minimum gambling age is 21, and gaming is regulated by the Colorado Division of Gaming. Phone: (303) 582-1100; website: thereddollycasino.com.

Gregory Street runs along the boundary between Black Hawk and Central City in the Clear Creek gulch, connecting the lower Main Street district of Black Hawk with the Central City gaming strip and the Central City–Black Hawk Narrow Gauge Railroad station above. The 530 Gregory Street address sits in this connecting corridor, which has housed casino properties since the first year of legalization. Red Dolly Casino’s 1992 opening means it predates the large hotel-casino towers that were built in Black Hawk after the 2009 bet limit increase to $100, placing it among Colorado’s original generation of licensed gaming venues.

Luna Entertainment Inc. has operated Red Dolly for over three decades. The consistent operation of a smaller slots-and-video-poker room over that span is notable in a market where many of the original 1990s-era properties have been consolidated into or replaced by larger complexes. Promotions and events are posted at thereddollycasino.com.

Gaming at Red Dolly Casino

Red Dolly Casino’s floor carries 126 gaming machines across slot machines and video poker formats, both authorized under Colorado Limited Gaming regulations. The 126-machine count is on the smaller end of the Black Hawk market — a focused, compact gaming floor in the historic corridor style. No table games appear in our directory data for Red Dolly; the current configuration and any additional offerings should be confirmed before visiting.

The Colorado Division of Gaming applies uniform standards to all licensed properties in Colorado’s gaming towns — machine auditing, responsible gaming displays, and age verification are required regardless of property size. Colorado’s limited gaming authorization covers slot machines, video poker, blackjack, roulette, and craps; smaller properties may operate only the electronic formats. Video poker pay tables in Colorado’s mountain gaming district typically include Jacks or Better and Deuces Wild across denominations from penny through dollar.

Promotions and events are listed at thereddollycasino.com, which is actively maintained. Red Dolly’s promotions history at the site provides information on player incentives and special events.

★ Editor note

One of Colorado's original 1992 casinos — still running under Luna Entertainment on Gregory Street

Red Dolly Casino has operated on the Black Hawk–Central City Gregory Street corridor since 1992, making it one of the oldest continuously running casinos in Colorado's mountain gaming district. Luna Entertainment has maintained the 126-machine slot-and-video-poker floor through the full arc of Colorado gaming development, from the original $5 bet limit through the 2009 $100 expansion. The active website and published phone number make it easier to confirm current hours and promotions than properties with no online presence.
