3 Towns Plan for Vote on Gambling

An estimated 1,000 voters living in Central City, Black Hawk and Cripple Creek will soon decide whether to expand gambling in their towns. Since the passage of Amendment 50 earlier this month, local officials are moving quickly to schedule follow-up elections.

The three former mining towns will now decide whether to raise the betting limit from $5 to $100, allow round-the-clock operating hours, and add craps and roulette.

Cripple Creek residents will vote on the issues December 16th. City administrator Bill McPherson predicts the 760 registered voters will pass the measure.

Black Hawk will vote January 13th, and Central City is preparing an election for late February or early March. If the measures are passed, the new regulations would likely go into effect July 1st.
