Golden Casino Group Promotions

Borrowing a great idea from http://www.thebadgambler.com/ I will start posting the flyers I get from the local casinos.

My first to post and comment about is from the Golden Casino Group. This encompasses 3 casino's in Black Hawk Colorado. Golden Gates, Golden Gulch, and Golden Mardi Gras Casinos.

This month's flyer is different than normal in one major way. Like always there are coupons for food, $3.00 off a Burrito and/or $5.00 off a Calzone. I be getting a Calzone myself.


The big change is with the money back portion. What normally reads "Get $5.00 Cash" now is "Get $5.00 in cash when you earn 200 points"



It was nice to just get free money but with the casino's posting continual loss, I can understand how they don't want to just give it away right now. 200 points is not that hard to achieve so I will go and play for a while and get my $5.oo, just to give it right back to them of course, but hey it was free money right.......

Have a Great Day and Happy Gaming

Amendment 50 Passes

With a fairly large margin amendment 50 has been passed by the Colorado voters.

Now it is up to the individual voters of the 3 mountain towns to vote on the expansion of gaming. Most reports say a vote could be held after the 1st of the year with changes going into effect by June.

The hardest part is over, now its just a waiting game.

Have a great day and Happy Gaming,

Keeping My Eye on Amendment 50

Today is the day. While most of the world is waiting for the results of one of the most important presidential races in our history, I will be watching the ticker at the bottom of the tv for local ammendments results.

Crossing my fingers that ammendment 50 will pass. I will update the results as they come in.

Have a great day and Happy Gaming
