Colorado voters approve sports betting

November 8, 2019

On Tuesday Colorado became the 20th state to approve sports betting since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned its ban in 2018. Voters narrowly passed Proposition DD, a ballot measure allowing the Colorado Division of Gaming to establish and regulate sports betting within the state. The vote was 50.71% to 49.29%.

First bets can be placed when Colorado launches its program on May 1, 2020 giving baseball fans the opportunity to bet on the Rockies vs. Phillies game that night. First bets are also expected on the Kentucky Derby scheduled the next day.

Bets will be placed in Colorado casinos or through mobile apps. Any of the state's casinos can apply to the Division of Gaming for a license to establish a physical sportsbook and an online betting app. Each casino will set its own limits.

Colorado will collect a 10% tax from the casinos on all sports betting revenues.

Bronco Billy's Casino plans $100 Million Expansion of Casino and Hotel

April 20, 2018

Last week approval was given by the Cripple Creek City Council for a new casino project. The project will develop the largest casino resort in the history of the area.

The project will cost over $100 million to complete the Bronco Billy's redevelopment and hotel.

During the meeting there were over 100 people attending. The room was standing room only. The project was approved by a vote of 4 to 0.

The hotel will have 200 guest rooms and be six stories tall. There will be space to host events and meetings. A fitness center and spa. A large parking garage. Crossways for pedestrians. New construction will consist of creating 300,000 square feet.

Maintaining the guidelines of the city's historical preservation will be given a certain amount of flexibility to allow for the large scale of the undertaking of the project. There were close to 20 conditions placed on the project in order to be approved.

Many visitors to the area consider the city a daytrip. The new casino resort is hopeful to change that thinking. The goal is to make it more of a destination where guests stay for a few days instead of a few hours.

The proposal had many in support during the meeting. Pushing for the project were owners of local businesses and community residents. Comments were made regarding the economic impact for the city from the over $100 million development.

Bronco Billy's casino is owned by Full House Resorts.

The building will be new construction. Opposed to the guidelines of restoring the buildings with a historical reference. However, the design will compliment and blend in with the surrounding area.
