The town of Cripple Creek has done an excellent job in incorporating casinos and gaming with its historic gold mining origins. Cripple Creek is still an old west gold town, complete with casinos, saloons, slots, poker and blackjack. A little bit of something for everyone - especially the Colorado gambler.
While Black Hawk, Colorado seems to have drifted more to the larger more vegas style casinos, the town of Cripple Creek has maintained its gold mining town feel. There is a certain friendliness to Cripple Creek that draws people here.
It's nestled in the mountains outside of Colorado Springs and can be great for the kids, provided you don't insist on gambling all day long. Cripple Creek Colorado has a soapbox race, old west gunfights and more!! They also have theatre groups and other all ages events. The community in Cripple Creek is thriving instead of being crushed by gaming. Check out the current events on the Cripple Creek home page (address can be found in the links directory)
For those close to Cripple Creek but want the big time casinos like Black Hawk has, don't worry! The Double Eagle & Womacks will fill your every gambling desire - plus you can still go outside breath in the mountain air, trot around to the smaller casinos and entertain the kids. Of course no where in Colorado can you escape the five dollar limited stakes betting limit, but you can play multiple hands of blackjack at a time.
