Brass Ass Casino at a glance
About Brass Ass Casino of Cripple Creek
Brass Ass Casino of Cripple Creek is a Colorado-licensed casino at 264 East Bennett Avenue in Cripple Creek, Colorado, owned by Triple Crown Casinos. The property opened in 1995 and runs 11 table games, 266 gaming machines, and a 2-table poker room on a 24/7 schedule with a restaurant and self-parking on site. Brass Ass Casino is smoke-free. The Triple Rewards loyalty program spans all three Triple Crown Casinos properties in Cripple Creek. The minimum gambling age is 21, and gaming is regulated by the Colorado Division of Gaming. Website: triplecrowncasinos.com/the-brass-ass/.
Cripple Creek’s Bennett Avenue gaming corridor sits at nearly 9,500 feet of elevation in Teller County, roughly 45 miles west of Colorado Springs via US-24 and Colorado 67. Triple Crown Casinos operates Brass Ass Casino alongside J.P. McGills Hotel & Casino and the Midnight Rose Hotel & Casino — all three located within walking distance on Bennett Avenue, giving the Triple Crown group one of the largest footprints of any single operator on the Cripple Creek gaming strip.
Smoke-free operation is a significant differentiator in a Colorado mountain gaming market where many casinos permit smoking on the gaming floor. Brass Ass Casino’s smoke-free designation appears in our detected feature data and is confirmed as an amenity for non-smoking visitors. The 1995 opening places Brass Ass in the middle era of Cripple Creek gaming history — after the 1991 founding wave but before the 2009 bet limit expansion.

Table Games and Poker Room
Brass Ass Casino runs 11 table game positions and a 2-table poker room. The game list includes 3 Card Poker, High Five Poker, and Video Poker. The poker room spreads High Five Poker and Limit Hold’em cash games.
High Five Poker is a five-card community-card table game in which players and the dealer each use their two hole cards plus the shared five-card community board to form the best five-card hand — players with a pair of tens or better win, and higher hands pay progressive bonuses. The “High Five” side bet pays on royal flush. High Five Poker is a proprietary format licensed to a limited number of casinos and is uncommon in the Colorado mountain gaming market, making Brass Ass Casino one of the few Cripple Creek venues specifically offering it.
3 Card Poker is the standard three-card poker variant with ante and Pair Plus side bets. The 11-table count at Brass Ass is notable — it is a table-game-intensive floor relative to the machine count, suggesting that table game play is a primary draw for this property rather than a secondary offering.
