Review

Golden Gates is Black Hawk`s poker king. It regularly host big tournaments and you can catch hold`em here 24/7. In addition there are over 200 slot machines and video poker to try out.
This history of this place is pretty interesting. It was one of the original casinos to open in Colorado in 1991 when gambling was legalized. It quickly became a locals favorite along with Black Hawk Station Casino mainly because they offered live music late into the night. This was an instant success with the local casino employees who popularized the spot. More recently Golden Gate Casino was purchased by the Mardi Gras Casino one of the larger casinos in Black Hawk who`s parking garage and the casino had almost swallowed Golden Gate`s Casino. This may have been a lucky twist of fate as Golden Gate Casinos biggest problem was parking.Now you can enjoy slots, blackjack and poker at Golden Gates Casino and Mardi Gras Casino with free self or valet parking. And of course most importantly, Golden Gates is the king of Poker in Colorado.
