Colorado Gambling Laws:Looking to Expand the Games and Stake

Oh hell yeah.

Its just going to Legislation lead by the Congressman in Black Hawk. I would be surprised if it doesn't get tabled...

But, it does give me hope that one day things will come around!

Yeah I jsut wish there was more I could do. I actually posted a thread about this a few weeks ago but that link you posted has more info/detail. I would REALLY like to see this go somewhere...

The company I work for is attending a Legislative open house where we can meet with our representatives, get tours, watch action on the floor, etc.

I'm hoping to be able to bring this up at one point or another.

Does anyone have an extra $200,000 sitting around? We can hire our own lobbyist.

It keeps coming back. Maybe this might actually pass....

It would be a wonderful thing, indeed, but there's really zero chance in hell of this passing either the state house, or a fall referendum.

Worth watching, though.

Gambling is the devil.

would be nice to get some of those idiots back up there who love to chase.....wonder how long it would take them to stop when it costs them their whole stack instead of a few $5 bets...

There is some more support for raising limits in Blackhawk. This time, it is from Tupa, who is more likely to get something done.

While I have not read the bill, I think that there is also a provision that makes throwing cards a felony.









just kidding, Ian.

That was actually kind of funny based on recent...um..discussions.

card throwing doesn't even get you a warning at the IP between 3-5am....not that I would know anything about that...

Here is a poll on the Denver Post regarding raising the limits. You can vote here:

I didn't realize that even if it passes the state vote, it still needs to be voted on again by each of the three casino towns.

I think the possible added revenue to the state will help with its passing, but it still looks like a long shot.
