Famous Bonanza Casino Review

Famous Bonanza Casino is one of the oldest gambling operations in Central City, CO.

The casino is one of 40 gaming establishments in the state. The local gambling company GF Gaming Corporation owns it. The Central City gambling company also owns Easy Street Casino, which is across the street from Famous Bonanza. The two GF Gaming-owned casinos are deemed two of Central City’s friendliest casinos.

Known for its hospitality and charm, Famous Bonanza has more than 200 popular slot and video poker machines, and a full-service restaurant.

The casino does not offer any table games or lodging; however, this shouldn’t be too much of an issue, as Famous Bonanza is along Central City’s busy casino strip.

Famous Bonanza Sportsbook

CO online betting apps and retail sportsbooks have been live since way back in 2020 in Colorado.

However, Famous Bonanza and its sister casino, Easy Street, do not have retail sportsbooks or online partners.

Famous Bonanza history

Located next to Dostal Alley Brewery, Famous Bonanza Casino is one of the oldest and friendliest gambling operations in town. In fact, Famous Bonanza was one of the first casinos to open in Central City. The casino has been locally owned by GF Gaming since 1992, shortly after casino gambling become legal in CO.

Bonanza and its sister casino are along Central City’s historic Main Street, also known as the gambling town’s casino strip. Guests rave about the service at the two GF Gaming casinos, mentioning that the extra attention paid to customers by the casino’s staff members is incomparable to that of larger casinos. It is a testament to Central City’s small-town gaming experience.

Central City is a historic Colorado mining town. Full of historic architecture and landmarks, Central City has become an attraction for travelers who love Colorado history as much as casino gaming.

As Famous Bonanza Casino is located in a historic building, the establishment’s owners took extra measures to ensure the installation of the slot machines did not compromise the building’s historic structure. In fact, based on a picture of the building from 1986, other than a few decorations and the maroon cloth awnings, the exterior of the building has retained its integrity and appears the same.

Like many historical buildings in Central City, Famous Bonanza is within a Victorian landmark. As such, the owners took special precautions to maintain the atmosphere of the historic building. Paying tribute to Central City’s gold-mining days, customers can enjoy a glamorized Victorian atmosphere coupled with genuine Central City history, all while playing slots.
