Amenities at Z Casino Black Hawk

Z Casino does not have an on-site hotel; however, its website offers accommodations at its sister casino, Grand Z, which is a short drive away. Be advised, though, that Grand Z is not in Black Hawk.

The Z does have two restaurants on the premises.

Dining

  • Mustang Grill: Serves American-style food, including burgers, sandwiches, steaks, ribs, soups and salads. It also serves breakfast all day.
  • ZBucks: This deli offers Starbucks beverages and quick to-go options, including sandwiches, pizza and ice cream.

Its sister casino, Grand Z Casino Hotel in Central City, is home to The Mile High Room for entertainment. The entertainment space, on the second floor of the casino, features a dance floor and stage. It hosts live musical shows regularly, mostly on Friday and Saturday nights.

Z Casino Sportsbook

The owner of Z Casino had its own branded retail and online sportsbook, Maverick Sportsbook. But Maverick shut down its mobile operations and its three retail sportsbooks this summer. There is currently no sports betting at Z Casino.

Z Casino history

The building that houses Z Casino in Black Hawk is the original home of Bullwhackers Casino, one of Colorado’s first casinos that opened in 1992.

In 2013, CC Gaming purchased the property, renovated it, and renamed it Z Casino.

In 2019, CC Gaming was bought by Maverick Gaming in a purchase that included Johnny Z Casino and Grand Z Casino in Central City, CO.
