About Grand Z Casino Hotel
Grand Z Casino Hotel is a Colorado-licensed casino hotel at 321 Gregory Street in Central City, Colorado, owned by Johnny Z. The property opened in 1994 and runs approximately 700 gaming machines with table games including 3 Card Poker, Blackjack, and Roulette, plus a hotel, resort amenities, and a restaurant on site. The minimum gambling age is 21, and gaming is regulated by the Colorado Division of Gaming. Website: grandzcasinohotel.com.
Central City is in Gilpin County in the Colorado Front Range foothills at approximately 8,500 feet of elevation, roughly 35 miles west of Denver via I-70 and Colorado 119. The 321 Gregory Street address is on Gregory Street — the connecting road between Black Hawk’s Main Street and Central City’s casino corridor — in what has historically been a dense section of gaming properties near the Teller House and Central City Opera House historic landmarks. The Grand Z Casino Hotel’s 1994 opening places it in the early generation of Central City gaming, three years after legalization.
The Grill at Grand Z Casino Hotel is the property’s on-site restaurant, recognized in local search data as a dining destination for the Central City gaming district. The restaurant provides both casual dining for gaming visitors and a standalone destination meal option in a corridor known primarily for gaming.

Gaming at Grand Z Casino Hotel
Grand Z Casino Hotel’s floor carries approximately 700 gaming machines alongside table game positions covering 3 Card Poker, Blackjack, and Roulette. Roulette is available at Grand Z under Colorado’s commercial gaming authorization — the game was added to the Colorado Limited Gaming roster in 2009 when the state raised its maximum bet limit from $5 to $100. The Grand Z’s 1994 opening predates Roulette authorization by 15 years; the game was added to the floor after the 2009 expansion.
The table game lineup at Grand Z represents the Colorado Limited Gaming core menu: Blackjack as the fundamental card game, Roulette as the wheel-based game authorized post-2009, and 3 Card Poker as a specialty table game. 3 Card Poker — in which players form the best three-card poker hand from three cards dealt against the dealer’s three-card hand — became common at Colorado commercial casinos after 2009 and is now a standard offering on most table game floors in the state.
At approximately 700 machines with table games, Grand Z Casino Hotel is a mid-scale Central City property with a broader game menu than the slots-only operations that make up the majority of smaller Colorado mountain gaming rooms. Current floor configuration and table minimums are at grandzcasinohotel.com.

Dining: The Grill at Grand Z Casino Hotel
Grand Z Casino Hotel’s on-site restaurant — The Grill at Grand Z Casino Hotel — serves as both a resort dining amenity and a destination in its own right for the Central City gaming district. The Grill appears in local search data as a recognizable dining address in Central City. Restaurant hours, the current menu, and any reservation requirements should be confirmed directly at grandzcasinohotel.com.
The resort designation in the property data suggests a full hospitality configuration beyond casino gaming — hotel rooms, resort services, and dining under one roof. This positions Grand Z as a more complete destination than the smaller standalone slot rooms that dominate the Central City side streets.
