Big Changes Coming to Cripple Creek, CO Casinos

I know this is "Okie Poker", but I feel compelled to write occasionally about my second home in Colorado.

I love Cripple Creek. Old mining town of around 1000 people way up in the Rockies...Oh! They also have 20 or so casinos! The problem has always been that the maximum bet allowed on any game was $5. Thats all changing come July 2nd.

Here's the notice from Cripple Creek's Chamber website:

"With the passing of a resolution to expand gambling in the state of Colorado, Cripple Creek gaming will see some exciting changes this summer. As of July 2009, the stakes will rise in Colorado casinos from the current maximum bet limit of $5, to the new limit of $100. This is for slots, blackjack and poker as well as new games coming to Cripple Creek: craps and roulette. Cripple Creek casinos will also see extended hours, meaning more fun and more chances to win for you and your friends! Anticipation is mounting as craps and roulette will be added to the Cripple Creek, Colorado gaming lineup."

Looks like I may be spending a lot more time in the Mountains this Summer...At least I hope so!

If you are in need of a job and think the casino industry may be for you, the casinos in Cripple Creek are expected to add 500+ positions before July 2nd. Many are taking applications now. A dealer makes an average of $40K/year there now. With the increased stakes coming, the tips should even be better and drive that number on up!

BTW, the Firelake Grand Casino in Shawnee, OK is having its 2009 Firelake Grand Poker Championship on March 7th beginning at noon. $50K guaranteed money for this event. Not sure of the buy-in...I seem to have misplaced my invite, and their website doesn't give the amount...sorry.

Wow!!! The Hard Rock Comes to Oklahoma...finally

The Cherokee Casino Resort in Catoosa (Tulsa) has just announced that when their expansion is completed in the spring that the casino will be rebranded 'The Hard Rock Casino - Tulsa'.

Already Oklahoma's premier poker destination, the addition of the Hard Rock name is sure to bring in more people to play my game...For full details you can click the title and it will take you to the full press release from the Cherokee Nation...

The new casino floor will be opening in December with 110,000 square feet of gambling. The Cherokee Resort has the largest poker room in Oklahoma and regularly hosts tournaments that draw players from throughout the US and the world.

The Scotty Nguyen Challenge V just wrapped up. Look for a new post coming soon with results from the main event final table and winners of other events.

The new 19 story hotel tower opens in the Spring of 2009 and the 'Hard Rock' branding is scheduled to coincide with that opening.

I am a degenerate gambler....

And I like it!

My friends and I will make a wager on just about anything. One vice I was never really into at the casino has been keeping me out into the wee hours recently.

I've never really played slot machines much until recently. They are a fun distraction while waiting for a seat to open up at the poker table or two deck pitch blackjack game, but I know the odds and other than the odd twenty or so every few months, never really played them.

My recent binge into the spinning wheels and multi-line payouts started a couple of weeks ago. A friend and I were at our favorite watering holes playing pool and darts (I lost at pool, but kicked ass, as usual, at darts) for beers. The place was dead that night and around 11pm we decided to roll up the highway to one of the many casinos within an hour of my house.

We played there for a bit then decided to try out another place for a while. After what seemed to be an hour or so there we decided to cash out and leave. Glancing at my watch as we walked towards my truck, I noticed it was 5am! Where had the time gone?

A few days later we were back at it. This time was even more extreme. Between time spent at the casinos and getting my online work semi-done, I was up for 51 hours straight! When I was younger and partying all night and working/going to school all day this would not have been that big of a deal...But hell, I'm 44 years old now! I'm not 21 any more...

After another couple late nights this week, I firmly believe that I am a degenerate gambler. Staying up all night playing cards is one thing (because I thoroughly enjoy playing poker and blackjack and almost always come out ahead), but machines...I know that I am pissing money away! Sure I may win $430 on a quarter bet, but eventually the slot Gods are going to take all of that and more back.

Things I will not be doing.

1. Replacing card games with slots as my favorite thing to do in a casino
2. Pissing my poker bankroll away on slot machines
3. Putting my mortgage payment, electric bill, grocery or any other necessity money on a slot machine spin (But I probably would on poker or blackjack).
4. Using artificial stimulants (other than caffeine and sugar) to keep me awake during one of my binges

Well, its off to the Creek Nation Muscogee casino for a little bounty poker tournament tonight. I have been intending to go and play over there for a while but have never found the time. Seems something was always getting in the way. I know many of the players there, so it shouldn't be too much of an adjustment to get control of whatever table I'm at.

More soon...
