Happy St. Patricks Day

Well its that time of year again, so I thought today would be a perfect time to review "Fitzgeralds Black Hawk Casino, in Black Hawk Colorado.

This is one of my favorite casinos in BH. They offer a wide variety of penny games and have maybe the best complementary item available on the mountain.

Fitzgeralds offers free Valet parking services with a rather large garage. No public park but there are quite a few places to self park near by.

Gaming wise, it is a three floor building with rather large gaming floor. The aisles are small especially by the players club and cage areas but not to annoying.

They offer quite a variety of games with allot of penny options. On the second floor you can find a few table games most with $5 min/max bets.

My favorite games here are Antique Appraisal and Tabasco.

The most enticing part of this casino has to be the complementary hot dogs served daily on the third floor. It is a self service hot dog bar with the traditional condiments and is located right next to a soda station. Makes for a great place to play and have a free bite. The also offer a restaurant for Lunch and Dinner Menu service.

Drink service is available either from the self service stand on the 3rd floor or from attendants. They are relatively fast depending on your location in the building.

Personally I have never hit very well but I do get my moneys worth. I can play for an hour or so on a twenty and have a good time while I'm there.

The Players club is easy to sign up for (like most casinos) and I get the occasional $5.00 free coupon and the annual Birthday gift.

They don't have the new stuff right away but then again they offer a good selection of some of the games that are disappearing from other places. All and all a great casino with a national reputation and the free Hot Dogs are defiantly enough to make you stop in for a spin.
