In Colorado, participation is mandatory to engage in an activity with no chance of winning.

They were forced to shut down and restart, but encountered certain limitations.

Once again, board games had to be closed down after being held.

As a consequence, individuals within the game find themselves in an even more dire predicament.

Their way of life is in jeopardy.

Step into the era of COVID, where the status of gambling remains uncertain and subject to sudden alterations.

In the last quarter, Gilpin County Casinos received positive feedback.

Table games can be discussed by them.

The Monarch Casino Resort is hosting a board game event on Thursday at 9 a.m. MST.

On Tuesday afternoon, the Ameristar & declared that table games will be accessible starting from Thursday at 2 p.m.

If you visit Black Hawk, the only game you can participate in is roulette.

Casino patrons do have access to:

  • Blackjack
  • Craps
  • There is a game that involves three cards.
  • DJ Wild,

According to a press release, Monarch has received approval from Gilpin County to increase its capacity and extend the last call to midnight.

David Farahi, the Chief Operating Officer of Monarch and President of the Colorado Gaming Association (CGA), informed PlayinColorado.

We will experience an exhilarating surge of adrenaline from this, and our group of businessmen will resume their activities, surpassing a count of 100.

New communication for COVID – 19

Last weekend, the COVID-19 dial 2.0 was revealed by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE).

According to a frequently asked questions (FAQ) document released by CDPHE, the new ring is described as follows:

«Dial 2.0», the new approach implemented by Colorado, aims to maintain a delicate equilibrium between controlling the spread of disease and mitigating economic hardships. This is possible as the medical system is currently experiencing less strain, thanks to declining cases and hospitalizations, an increase in vaccine stockpile, and improved resistance levels among individuals aged 70 and above.

Casinos in Colorado are allowed to continue operating as long as they comply with the pump level regulations set by the county.

This demonstrates that board games can be played in Level Green areas.

They are prohibited from conducting business in Levels Blue, Yellow, Orange, Red, or Purple.

Currently, Level Blue (Level Green for combined intensity) is in effect for both Gilpin County and Teller County.

Board games have been absent from the games in Black Hawk and Central City since mid-November.

Due to the deteriorating COVID conditions in the counties, the games were compelled to comply with the rules set forth by the CDPHE, which were subsequently announced.

In addition to board games, that order had an impact on various other activities as well.

In addition, alcohol was prohibited and casinos were restricted to a maximum capacity of 100 people. Additionally, the sale of alcohol was prohibited after eleven o’clock.

County of Teller, what about it?

During the CLGCC meeting in February, it was disclosed that Cripple Creek now offers table games.

Unlike Black Hawk and Central City, Cripple Creek games were unable to bring back table games, despite their initial availability in mid-September.

Since mid-November, Teller County has had to enforce a maximum capacity of 50 individuals per room or a minimum of 25% of the room’s total occupancy, whichever is lower.

Furthermore, there was a significant apprehension regarding the potential need to once again shut down the games.

CDPHE unexpectedly altered its direction and granted permission for Cripple Creek gambling to proceed without interruption.

In a time when there has been a lack of board game options, the allowance for Cripple Creek games to introduce board games is highly encouraging.
