Increased Casino Earnings in Colorado by 2.9% Year-on-Year during June
=====================================================
In the gaming world of Colorado, June 2025 brought a mix of fortunes for its three casino regions. According to a report by Charlotte Capewell, the Black Hawk region led the pack with a revenue of $73 million, marking a 3% increase from June 2024's $71 million.
The neighbouring Cripple Creek region followed suit, posting a 6.3% year-over-year increase, rising from $15.2 million in June 2024 to $16.1 million in June 2025. Central City, however, saw a reversal of fortune, recording a 12% decrease year-over-year, with revenues falling from $7.8 million in 2024 to $6.9 million in 2025.
Interestingly, the data does not provide insights into the reasons behind these revenue fluctuations. A detailed regional breakdown of casino revenue by slots and table games for May and June 2025 remains elusive in the current datasets.
The available data primarily focuses on Colorado sports betting revenue, showing handle and gross revenue figures. For instance, May 2025 handle amounted to about $495 million, with gross revenue at approximately $49 million. June 2025 handle was around $372 million, generating gross revenue of about $39.8 million. However, these figures exclude traditional casino slots and table games data by region within Colorado.
Moreover, national commercial gaming data provides combined slots and tables revenues at the national and state level but lacks Colorado regional or category breakdowns, as well as separating slots from tables within Colorado.
Despite this gap in information, the Colorado Department of Revenue reports casino revenue by regions. As of the reported data, there are three regions housing 33 commercial casinos in Colorado.
When it comes to the specifics, 90% of table games revenue in June 2025 came from the Black Hawk region, which generated $12.2 million. The state's table games revenue totaled $13.3 million in June 2025, representing a 4.2% yearly increase.
It's also worth noting that month-over-month, Central City saw a 10% increase in revenue in June 2025, compared to less than $6.3 million in May 2025.
In terms of the overall picture, slots generated 86.1% of the state's casino revenue in June 2025, totalling $82.6 million and increasing 2.8% year-over-year.
The article does not provide information about the revenue of individual casinos or the specific years being compared for the year-over-year increases and declines. However, it does highlight that two out of the three regions showed a year-over-year increase in casino revenue in June 2025, while Central City showed a decrease.
For those seeking a more precise data, it is likely held by Colorado's state gaming commission or regulatory authority, which issues monthly casino tax and revenue reports by region and game type. Publicly accessible sources may only provide aggregate statewide figures or sports betting revenues without granular splits.
Casino-and-gambling revenues in Colorado's casino regions in June 2025 showed a mix of outcomes, with the Black Hawk region leading in casino-games revenue at $73 million, representing a 3% increase year-over-year. However, the neighboring Central City region experienced a 12% decrease year-over-year, with casino-games revenues falling from $7.8 million to $6.9 million.
