Red Dolly Casino & Sportsbook Review | Black Hawk Colorado

The Red Dolly Casino may not seem like much at a first glance, but it stands out in more ways than one. One of the reasons why it may not seem like much is because of its small size โ€“ it is, in fact, the smallest casino in town. It also stands out for being the oldest casino still standing, as it was opened in 1992. Finally, it stands right on the line dividing Central City and Black Hawk. It truly is an iconic casino!

Red Dolly Casino is all about gaming. And, while it lacks many of the additional amenities in the bigger casinos, it goes above and beyond to offer the ultimate gambling experience.

Here is an overview of what the iconic Red Dolly Casino has to offer!

The Casino Experience

Red Dolly Casino is like that small package that bears only good tidings. The casino doesnโ€™t have thousands of machines or expansive gaming floors, but it makes the best off of what it has.

The Red Dolly specializes in slot games โ€“ there are no table games or poker, unfortunately. There are about 175 slot machines, and the collection is one of the most diverse in town. For starters, the machines accept a wide range of denominations, starting from one penny all the way to the big bucks. Additionally, the machines offer slot games across a wide range of genres โ€“ you will have lots of fun exploring the different themes.

The slot machines here support hundreds of slot games, including the traditional classics and modern video slots. The collection of games includes:

You will not find the dazzling lights of the Las Vegas strip here at the Red Dolly. However, you will find an unmatched gaming experience made exceptional by the intuitive help by the staffers all around you. Everyone is ready to help, and the drinks and other amenities never stop flowing. The positive attitude also spills over to the players, and it makes for a fun and memorable (rather than bitter) gambling experience.

Bonuses & Promotions

The Red Dolly doesnโ€™t have a rewards program or a membersโ€™ club. However, it has a robust promotions program with prizes up for grabs all week long. Prizes include Free Play credits, dining vouchers, and more! Additionally, the casino goes out of its way to offer special gifts to its special customers, thanks to its small size and the consequent close relationships with patrons. Players are urged to check the casinoโ€™s website regularly for alerts on the latest promotions.

Sports Betting at Your Fingertips

In spite of its small size, the Red Dolly has one of the most robust sportsbooks in town. It is in a partnership with ELITE Sportsbook, one of the most reputable Colorado sportsbooks in the industry. The sportsbook is incredibly versatile and resourceful.

ELITE Sportsbook lists sporting events from all over the world. The categories covered include all of Americaโ€™s favorite sports, including:

This sportsbook also accepts a wide range of bet types, including money lines, totals, under/over, parlays, props, futures, and more! It is also worth noting that the sportsbook offers forgiveness options with its progressive parlays, an offer than you will not find elsewhere.

Being a global sportsbook with a robust online platform, ELITE Sportsbook also allows players to do all their betting online. Players can explore available betting options, place all available bet types, and closely monitor their betsโ€™ progress through their PCs and mobile devices. Alternatively, players looking for an old-school experience can place their bets at the on-site kiosk.

All players have to do is sign up on Elite Sportsbook โ€“ applicants will be required to provide a valid government-issued ID and a working credit card, debit card, or online money transfer option to fund their accounts. Players will also appreciate the fact that they can place their wagers anywhere in Colorado, not only within the casinoโ€™s premises โ€“ however, the app stops working once you leave Colorado state lines.
