The short version
The Lodge is a hotel casino on Main Street with a floor table players like. Reviewers mention six deck and free bet blackjack, Roll to Win craps, a digital version that still uses physical dice, and minimums lower than at some neighbors. One enthusiastic regular says hand pays are a constant sight here; other players call the slots very tight, especially on Saturday nights. The hotel does well in the reviews, with clean rooms, comfortable beds and suites guests liked.
The crab leg buffet is the big food draw and it divides people. Fans love it, while critics found the food salty, dry or left out too long, and a couple of diners clashed with buffet staff. Drink service is the steadiest complaint, with players going hours without seeing a server. The players club also frustrates people who feel the good perks sit behind high tiers.

Don't listen to the noise. Most of these negative reviews are from people who can't control their bankroll or budgets and are bitter. We've darkened the doors of MANY casinos — Vegas, California, cruise ships, all around Blackhawk/CC, etc. We have NEVER seen so many handpays and bonuses being paid out on the floor as…
We appreciate the support - thank you for the awesome review! Hope to see you again soon.
It was my first time at the lodge casino, I went for my anniversary with my boyfriend, I met some amazing people there, Cody eckhart, Giovanni, and Alexandra reeves. They were so nice and welcoming. Definitely want to go back. They had 6 deck blackjack and freebet blackjack. Overall such an amazing experience!!!
Thank you for the positive review! We have a great staff, and they will be happy to know we got another great review!
If you want to come to black hawk this hotel is great! The suites are very nice and the front desk staff is very nice. I have stayed in many Black Hawk hotels and I like this one lot. The Casino is pretty good and the restaurants are also high quality.
We appreciate the support - thank you!
We visited the dinner buffet at The Lodge on a Saturday. Overall the food including the crab legs were EXTREMELY salty causing my boyfriends blood pressure to raise abnormally high. Why did we have to crack crab legs without a bucket? Granted, our waitress , reformed Tamera ensured every surrounding table had a…

At 240 Main St in Black Hawk, about 27 miles from Downtown Denver as the crow flies. It's a state licensed commercial casino in Colorado, and you need to be 21 to gamble.
Yes, there's a hotel on the property, so you can stay the night instead of driving home late.
