About Silver Hawk Saloon & Casino

Silver Hawk Saloon & Casino is a Colorado-licensed gaming property at 100 Chase Street in Black Hawk, Colorado, operating under the jurisdiction of the Colorado Division of Gaming. The property runs 220 gaming machines — slot machines and video poker — in Black Hawk’s historic casino corridor. A restaurant and self-parking are on site. The minimum gambling age is 21.

Black Hawk sits in the narrow Clear Creek gulch at approximately 8,000 feet of elevation, roughly 40 miles west of Denver via Colorado 119 and US-6 through Clear Creek Canyon. The town is one of three Colorado mountain communities — alongside Central City and Cripple Creek — where limited-stakes gaming was authorized after Colorado voters approved Amendment 4 in November 1990. Casino gaming began in all three towns in October 1991, initially under a $5 maximum bet limit that the state raised to $100 in 2009. That limit increase triggered substantial capital investment in Black Hawk, leading to the construction of large hotel-casino towers that now dominate the Main Street and Gregory Street corridors. Silver Hawk Saloon & Casino represents the smaller saloon-style operations that have operated in Black Hawk since the original 1991 licensing.

The Chase Street address places Silver Hawk in the gulch corridor connecting the lower and upper sections of Black Hawk’s gaming district. Colorado Division of Gaming licensing requires all properties to maintain age verification protocols, machine compliance testing, and responsible gaming resources. The Black Hawk gaming district as a whole is accessible from the Denver metro area as a day trip, with a drive of roughly 45 to 60 minutes depending on traffic and mountain road conditions. Seasonal weather — snowpack on the Clear Creek Canyon approach from October through April — can affect access, and visitors should confirm road conditions via CDOT before traveling.

Gaming at Silver Hawk Saloon & Casino

Silver Hawk Saloon & Casino runs 220 gaming machines across slot machines and video poker formats. Both are standard Colorado Limited Gaming-authorized game types. No table games — live blackjack, roulette, or craps — are listed in our directory data for Silver Hawk; confirm the current floor configuration directly with the property before visiting.

Video poker players at Colorado gaming properties typically encounter multiple denominations across single-hand and multi-hand formats, with full-pay Jacks or Better and Deuces Wild among the most common pay tables in the Colorado market. Slot floors in Black Hawk tend to carry a range of three-reel classic machines, five-reel video slots, and progressive-network titles across penny, nickel, quarter, and dollar denominations. At 220 machines, Silver Hawk’s floor is a mid-scale standalone operation within a district that ranges from boutique slot rooms under 50 machines to resort casinos with several thousand positions.

The Colorado Division of Gaming requires all licensees to submit to machine auditing and to display responsible gaming resources, including Colorado’s self-exclusion program, at each property. Independent of the larger hotel-casino complexes, smaller properties like Silver Hawk contribute to the overall capacity of the Black Hawk gaming corridor, providing a different atmosphere — quieter, more intimate, saloon-styled — than the larger resort venues.

Dining and Parking

A restaurant and self-parking are on site at Silver Hawk Saloon & Casino. No hotel is part of this property — visitors planning an overnight stay in the Black Hawk gaming district have options at the resort-casino hotels on Main Street and Gregory Street, most of which include hotel towers built after 2009. The on-site restaurant aligns with the saloon-and-dining format common to smaller Colorado mountain gaming properties. Our directory data does not include restaurant hours, menus, or seating capacity for Silver Hawk; confirm dining details directly before timing a visit around a meal.

Parking in Black Hawk varies by property and by the time of day, particularly on weekends when the Denver metro area generates heavy traffic into the gulch. Self-parking at Silver Hawk’s Chase Street location offers an alternative to the large parking structures at the hotel-casino complexes, which can become congested during peak periods. Street parking is generally available on Chase Street and adjacent blocks when the district is not at full capacity.

Location

Silver Hawk Saloon & Casino is at 100 Chase Street in Black Hawk, Colorado. From Denver, the most direct route is US-6 west through Clear Creek Canyon (approximately 40 miles), which merges with Colorado 119 at Black Hawk. An alternate route runs I-70 west to Idaho Springs, then Colorado 103 or 119 north through the mountains. Both approaches involve mountain canyon roads; Clear Creek Canyon is narrow and winding in sections. Self-parking is available at the property.
