I will be skiing at the end of February and am curious whether there are any casinos with blackjack in or around the Denver area as well as the Breckenridge area (if anyone knows where that is). Can you please share your experiences with this area, if any? Thank you.

No, I used to live in CO. in the 80's before casinos. I think they are out in the boonies, but not sure. Look at a map.

ID,



There are 47 casinos in Colorado and their limits in BlackJack are right up your alley.



BTW..... do you know what 'google' is?

Only if you like to bet $5 a hand EVERY hand. Colorado politicians are among either the dumbest or most bought off around. Every time there is a proposal to raise the limit to $100 or even $25 a hand they cry out NO EXPANSION OF GAMBLING!!! $5 limits work great on slots and video poker and the casinos don't want to have their cramped casinos forced to take tables so they have repeatedly told legislators how great the current limits are and the legislators have gladly said let's keep things exactly as they are. Everyone is happy. It is just like Indiana and the General's situation. Laws defying common sense, but protecting those who slide in under the law.

I remember hearing about that $5 a hand stuff like 10 years ago, that's still the limit ? What a joke ! I couldn't find a $5 minimum where I live.

Fairly recent......about a 1 1/2 year ago (and 3-4 years ago). Yes, $5 max. Very stupid and boring. I remember they will let you split on pairs and double down.

Herm(ID), there are many casinos north in the two towns north of I-70 if you take the "Hidden Valley" exit (just east of Idaho Springs). It's about 10 miles to them.

Just look for the "Chicks with Dicks Convention banner".

It has been awhile, but I follow every potential change to gaming law that matters and they won't sneak this one by me. Since I have been involved in gaming interests in Colorado there have been two somewhat serious attempts to get the limits raised and they both died. The last one was by a bunch of guys that wanted higher limit poker games to cash in on the craze. You want to talk about stupid, go into a Colorado poker room. You can play $1-5 in a few places, but most are $2-5 and $3-5 limit games. I remember walking into one while I was on a trip to Cripple Creek, which is in the middle of nowhere so nothing else to do. The floorman asks me "do you want the low stakes or high stakes game". I kid you not, the 3-5 game is the high stakes game in those parts. I laughed at him and he didn't seem too happy about it.

They got shot down by people saying $25 limits were "high stakes". Imagine all these guys wanted was a $10-20 game. You can freely bet $5 a spin on a slot machine, but play $10-20 and you cross the line. Then again politicians in Florida were calling $1-2 hold-em games "high stakes" because someone stupid enough could actually lose a couple hundred dollars in a night. Politicians are an utter and complete joke when it comes to limits. The casinos don't want higher limits, they want you to play slots. If you make it to one of the 3 cities with gambling Identity you will see why. Most buildings are completely stuffed with slots and the pit almost an afterthought, but impossibly crowded. A greedy casino manager says "if only I could get this dolts to play slots instead imagine how much I would rake in".

Yes Hermy, it's $5.....but they do have a couple games "triple action" and you can play multiple hands.

Weekday mornings are the best---you can get one of the "trips" tables & play the whole thing. That's really the only way to make any money up there, but at least they let you do it until the place fills up around 11am or so.
