Casino Games
The Famous Bonanza Casino is a slot-only property and offers no table games or poker; for these head to another of Colorado’s casinos. However, those loving the classic old-style slot machines who want to hear real cash falling, you have come to the right place. The casino oozes nostalgia and you will be surrounded by the sounds of money dropping.
Amongst these machines, there are also more modern slots, video poker games, and jackpot games. Paylines start as low as pennies, so this is a great spot for the more frugal gambler. Every Friday evening from 8pm – 12am, the casino also runs a special event called “Take it or Trade it.” They announce a winner of $500 cash every 15 minutes!
Casino Loyalty Program
The Famous Bonanza Casino runs a loyalty program called Player’s Club, which it shares with the Easy Street Casino. All members are given loyalty points every time they spend in either of the casinos. Every $1 on slot machines and every $2 on video poker equates to one membership point. In addition, weekly multipliers are run where money spent is equivalent to even more points:
- Sundays: 3x multiplier on penny slots
- Mondays: 2x multiplier on all slots
- Tuesday: 3x multiplier on all quarter slots
All points can be exchanged for cash or for discounts on dining in the casinos’ restaurants. Moreover, you will receive exclusive offers and promotional giveaways. To become a member simply signup at the casino on your next visit. All new members can win up to $100 paid in cash!
Sportsbook Services
The Famous Bonanza does not currently offer a sportsbook, neither at their premises nor online. However, from 1st May 2020 sports gambling is legal in Colorado. Therefore, if the casino applies for the correct licensing, they are now able to legally offer sports betting services. Nevertheless, there have been no announcements of plans to do so, but this may be something they launch in the future.
Dining and Bars
The only restaurant at the Famous Bonanza Casino is Stella’s Café. This is open from 11.30am – 8.30pm Sunday to Thursday, and until 9.30pm on Fridays and Saturdays. The restaurant serves lunch and dinner daily with a selection of burgers, paninis, and pizzas. You will feel right at home with the relaxed atmosphere of the place, and the beautiful stained glass windows looking down to the street below sure add character.
Online Gambling
Although online sportsbooks are now legal in Colorado, the Famous Bonanza Casino has not launched any online sports betting services or released any plans to do so soon. However, there are a range of sportsbook mobile apps currently live partnered with other retail casinos if you do wish to place bets online. The Famous Bonanza Casino also does not offer internet slot games as it is illegal in Colorado to partake in any form of online casino gambling for real money. Head to their casino in person to make the most of what is on offer.
