There are at least 18 different table games dealt at Colorado casinos. Four are covered in our Colorado Blackjack Guide. All casinos with table games spread blackjack. Most also have craps and roulette. About half of Colorado casinos with table games also offer a poker game. Three Card Poker is the most common table game. Some deal 3 Shot Poker, baccarat, Bonus 6 Stud Poker, craps, crapless craps, Heads Up Hold’em, Mississippi Stud, pai gow poker, Texas Hold’em Bonus, Ultimate Texas Hold’em, or Wild 6 Poker.
Minimum bets run from $5 for poker pit games up to $100 for baccarat. Most Colorado table games have a minimum bet of $10 or $15.
Baccarat hit Colorado casino floors on May 1, 2021. The $100 bet limit also went away that day.
Most Colorado casinos now have at least a $500 maximum bet on table games. The larger Black Hawk casinos go as high as $5,000. The following limits are from our visit in August 2024.
