Colorado Grande Casino at a glance
About Colorado Grande Casino
Colorado Grande Casino is a Colorado-licensed gaming property at 300 East Bennett Avenue in Cripple Creek, Colorado, owned and operated by Nevada Gold & Casinos, Inc. The casino opened in 2012 and runs 225 gaming machines — slot machines and video poker — on Cripple Creek’s primary gaming corridor. A restaurant and self-parking are on site. The minimum gambling age is 21, and gaming is regulated by the Colorado Division of Gaming under the Colorado Limited Gaming Act.
Cripple Creek is a former gold-rush mining town in Teller County at nearly 9,500 feet of elevation, roughly 45 miles west of Colorado Springs via US-24 and Colorado 67. The town is one of three Colorado communities — alongside Black Hawk and Central City — where limited-stakes gaming was legalized after voters approved Amendment 4 in November 1990. Cripple Creek’s Bennett Avenue functions as the town’s main casino strip, with licensed properties occupying historic Victorian storefronts in a compact walkable corridor. Colorado Grande’s 300 E Bennett Ave address puts it in the middle of that strip, surrounded by other licensed properties.
Nevada Gold & Casinos, Inc. is a commercial gaming operator that runs properties in multiple Colorado gaming towns. The 2012 opening date places Colorado Grande in the post-limit-increase era of Cripple Creek’s casino development — Colorado raised its maximum bet from $5 to $100 in 2009, which also authorized roulette and craps at licensed properties and spurred continued investment in the gaming district. Colorado Grande operates as a focused slots property within that environment, offering an electronic gaming floor rather than a full table game suite.

Gaming at Colorado Grande Casino
Colorado Grande Casino’s floor carries 225 gaming machines divided between slot machines and video poker, both authorized under Colorado Limited Gaming regulations. The 225-machine count positions Colorado Grande as a mid-scale property on the Cripple Creek casino strip, which ranges from smaller boutique slots rooms to larger resort-casino complexes.
Video poker formats in Colorado typically span full-pay Jacks or Better, Deuces Wild, and multi-hand variants across multiple denominations. Slot machines cover the standard range from three-reel classic formats to five-reel video titles and progressive-linked networks. No table games appear in our directory data for Colorado Grande; the current floor mix and any table games available should be confirmed before visiting at coloradogrande.com.
Colorado’s Division of Gaming mandates machine compliance testing, responsible gaming disclosures, and age verification protocols at all licensed properties. The Division’s standards apply uniformly across Colorado’s three gaming towns.
