Casino Games
At the Grand Z Casino, you will find over 684 slot and video poker machines, inclusive of old classic reels and modern games packed with exciting bonus features. They also have the rarer video Craps, Blackjack, and Roulette, and paylines ranging from pennies up to $5. Out of all Central City casinos, the Grand Z Casino & Hotel also has the most jackpots. There is a slot machine for every gambler at this casino!
Alongside the slot machines, there are also Blackjack, Craps, 3-Card Poker, and Roulette available as live table games in the Z-Spot pit area. Table limits are from $5 up to a maximum of $100 per bet, and tables are open 24 hours every day. The Z-Spot room has an at-table cocktail service, and drinks can also be ordered directly to your slot machine, so you do not miss out on any gambling action. Unfortunately, no poker is available at the casino.
Casino Loyalty Program
The Grand Z Casino has a loyalty rewards program called Club Z. Membership is free, and once a member you will receive exclusive offers, monthly promotions, point multipliers, and free casino play known as ‘Z Play.’ Additionally, all new sign-ups are given a complimentary $100 Z Play to spend on games. The rewards can be claimed by exchanging points earnt through playing casino games; the more points earnt the bigger the prizes.
The Club Z program is shared with the two other Z Group Colorado Casinos: Z Casino and Johnny Z’s Casino. Therefore, points can be earnt and redeemed at any of the three casinos. This is great if you are wanting to play in multiple games rooms without the need for separate memberships and loyalty programs.
Sportsbook Services
Sports betting is now live in Colorado after a ballot passed last November calling for the legalization of sportsbooks. For casinos to offer these services, operators must apply for specific master licenses. All of the Z Group Casinos have had these approved and so can legally offer sports gambling to customers. These will likely be launched on their premises shortly now the casinos have reopened following temporary COVID-19-related closures.
Legally, the Grand Z Casino can also offer an online sportsbook. At present, Maverick Gaming LLC has not collaborated with any online operators, but the company has expressed an interest in releasing one. Therefore, we will probably see an online sportsbook launched at some time in the future.
Hotel
Attached to the Grand Z Casino there is a 119-room hotel. The accommodation has recently been renovated and you can choose from Standard Rooms or Deluxe Suites. The hotel has a strict adults-only policy and no one under the age of 21 can enter the premises.

Dining and Bars
For bars and entertainment, the Grand Z Casino is the place to be. There are several bars on the premises and all casino gamblers are welcome to free drinks, but the real star of the show is their entertainment room. Their renowned Mile High Room features live music and performances at weekends, along with a dancefloor, VIP area, and an incredible sound system. They also host comedy events some nights. Of all casino entertainment, the Mile High Room provides the cream of the crop.
There are also several restaurants at Grand Z Casino. Their Grand Bistro is the only fine dining restaurant on the premises and is open from Thursday through to Sunday from 5pm onwards. The star of the menu is their steaks, although there is also the option for soups, salads, and entrees. There are also two $29 surf and turf specials which run every week:
- Thursdays: 16oz ribeye steak, 1lb of crab legs, and sides for $29
- Sundays: 8oz filet steak, poached lobster tail, and sides for $29
For grabbing food any day of the week, try The Grill. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner from 8am daily and has a casual vibe. Most items from the menu are made using local ingredients. You can order burgers, sandwiches, or their famous Double Down Breakfast all day long. There is also the Z Café where you can pick up deli sandwiches, pizza, and Starbucks coffee if you would rather grab something quick.
Online Gambling
Unfortunately, you cannot legally play any casino games online for real money from inside the Centennial State. The Grand Z Casino, therefore, does not provide any online slots, poker, or table games as this is illegal in Colorado.
Despite sports gambling launching in Colorado on 1st May 2020, there have been no reports of the Grand Z Casino partnering with an online sportsbook provider to bring these services to the market. However, the casino has had its master license approved, so we will likely see an online sportsbook launched at some point. For now, find all the best Colorado online gambling and mobile apps here.
