This place is WILD, but in a good way! I LOVE this off the beaten path, and this place certainly falls under that category! Someone smoking INSIDE in every square inch of the place.

The short version
What visitors say about The Wild Card Saloon
The Wild Card is a tiny old saloon on Main Street turned casino, and it doesn't pretend otherwise. Reviewers call it smoker friendly, and the smell greets you at the door, though one regular says the ventilation has improved. There's odd taxidermy on the walls, and on a busy night you'll be elbow to elbow. The loyal following comes for slots they swear are loose and for the food: club members can eat twice a day on the house, and the home cooked daily specials get real affection.
Not everyone is charmed. Longtime players grumble that machines lock up on any win over $100 and that the hand pay can take ages, and critics call the games dated and the restrooms dirty. Staff check IDs at the door against a list, which annoyed a couple of visitors.

Corbin is amazing. Very polite. Right on knowing about things. Has answers for everything. Willing to go the extra mile.
This place is awesome. They have loose slots, I win here all the time. If you're a member they will give you 2 meals a day for free on them. There have been times in my life that the only reason I ate was because The Wild Card fed me. Best Casino in Colorado.
