According to a CBS Denver report, local officials raised the COVID-19 concern level to “Yellow” on the color dial. In response to the new level, casinos in Black Hawk and Central City will no longer provide blackjack, poker, roulette and craps will be prohibited until the threat level is reduced. Only slot machine gambling will be allowed for the time being.
Capacity will also be limited to 100 people and alcohol is prohibited from being sold after 11 p.m. The new restrictions began this morning.
“We are sad to say that starting this Friday at 8 a.m. we must close table games in order to comply with the Gilpin County guidance in connection with Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment on increased operational restrictions,” The Lodge Casino posted online.
While Colorado is implementing strict new measures, other casinos around the country are actually temporarily closing in response to a recent spike in cases.
