Wild Card Saloon players card
Wild Card Saloon allows players to accrue points for their gameplay on their player’s card. Then, these points can be redeemed for food and drink comps.
All it takes it 20 points on your Player Card to earn a free meal. Members also are entered into drawings for various prizes that range from hats, shirts, and jackets — all the way up a free Cadillac Escalade.
While there are rewards, there are no tiered loyalty levels. Everyone earns the same comps at the same rate, no matter how much or how little you play.
Wild Card Saloon amenities
Since it is billed as a saloon, it’s no surprise that Wild Card Saloon offers mixed drinks, as well as a beer and wine selection to its customers. A recently opened third-floor balcony is a great spot for players to take a break from the action.
One aspect that is truly unique to Wild Card Saloon is the presence of a convenience store in the back of the building. There, customers can purchase items such as milk, energy drinks, and cigarettes.
The Wild Card Saloon offers food, but you will not find your typical menu because it truly is home cooking. The meals change daily and there are usually just one or two options to pick from each day.
Wild Card Saloon Sportsbook
The owners of Wild Card Saloon and Sasquatch Casino are partnered with International Game Technology. The properties will use IGT’s PlaySport kiosks. If you don’t want to wait in line or are intimidated by going up to a betting counter, kiosks are a great way to peruse possible bets and odds and easily place bets.
In addition to on-property kiosks, IGT also powers the mobile technology for betting apps licensed under Wild Card Saloon and Sasquatch sports betting licenses.
Wild Card Saloon history
Self-described as the “First Casino in Black Hawk,” Wild Card Saloon opened in 1991. It is a throwback to what casinos were like in the area when gambling was first legalized in Colorado. Wild Card Saloon is still locally owned and operated by Ed and Shirley Smith, who also are part owners in Sasquatch Casino, also in Black Hawk.
