Imperial Casino
Cripple Creek, Colorado
Cripple Creek sits at nearly 9,500 feet of elevation in Teller County on the western flank of Pikes Peak, approximately 45 miles west of Colorado Springs via US-24 and Colorado 67. The Bennett Avenue gaming corridor in Cripple Creek concentrates its licensed casinos within a compact stretch of historic Victorian commercial buildings. The 1999 opening date placed Imperial Casino in the middle era of Cripple Creek’s gaming development, after the initial 1991 rush and before the higher-limit expansion that followed the 2009 increase in Colorado’s maximum bet limit to $100.
