About Teller House

Teller House in Central City Casinos, Colorado

When Colorado voters approved Amendment 4 in 1990 and gaming began in Black Hawk, Central City, and Cripple Creek in October 1991, the Teller House was among the historic Main Street and Eureka Street properties that received commercial gaming licenses under the Colorado Division of Gaming’s framework. The building’s status as a National Historic Landmark meant any gaming operation had to be compatible with preservation requirements. The casino operated slot machines and video poker on the premises in keeping with Colorado Limited Gaming regulations. Self-parking is available nearby on the Central City side streets.
