Each state in the US is now responsible for their own sports betting legislation and in November 2019, Colorado voted legal sports betting into law. Even before the new legislation was introduced, people in Colorado participated in online sports betting but can now legally bet at retail sportsbooks in land-based casinos.

Some 33 of the 44 retail casinos in Colorado launched a retail sportsbook following the changes in the law. Cripple Creek is a good example of a town in the state that has embraced retail sports betting and several of the casinos have introduced a sportsbook.

The former mining town is home to some excellent casinos, including Bronco Billy’s Casino. This casino boasts over 800 different games, including slot machines, blackjack, roulette, video poker, and craps.

Complete with five restaurants, including the popular Steak House, Bronco Billy’s Casino is one of the best sportsbooks in Cripple Creek.

Next, we come to the Double Eagle Hotel and Casino which opened in 2006. The casino is spread over 15,000 square feet with a vast selection of table games and two floors full of slot machines. They hold slot tournaments twice a week and the Winfield’s restaurant offers a fabulous fine dining experience. The Double Eagle Hotel and Casino wasted no time in partnering with a sportsbook when the new law was introduced in 2019 and they joined forces with PointsBet. In fact, the Double Eagle Hotel and Casino took matters into their own hands early and already had deal lined up with PointsBet before the changes in legislation were made legal.
