Grand Z Casino does not have a poker room.

Grand Z Casino rewards program

Grand Z offers a rewards program, called Club Z, which is free to join. The Club Z rewards program is shared with Maverick Gaming’s two other Colorado casinos, Z Casino and Johnny Z’s, meaning that players are able to earn and redeem points while playing at all three properties. Members of Club Z earn points on their club card while gambling and dining at any of the three casinos. The more they play, the more points they earn, and the better the rewards.

Club Z offers members four levels based on how many points they earn during six-month periods. The first level is Club for members with 4,999 points or fewer. Next up is Flame (5,000-24,999 points), the penultimate level is Nitro (25,000-49,999 points), and lastly, Turbo is for members with 50,000 points or more.

Being a member of Club Z gains players entry into monthly drawings as well as invitations to member-only events and specials.

  • Z Café: Deli, desserts and coffee. Each of the Colorado Maverick properties features its own café, which is ideal for a fast meal. The offerings include sandwiches, pizza, ice cream and Starbucks coffee.

Grand Z Casino sportsbook

Grand Z Casino did have retail and mobile sports betting via Maverick Sportsbook. However, Maverick has shut down both its online and brick-and-mortar sportsbooks (total of three in Colorado) this summer.

Grand Z Casino history

Of the three Colorado casinos purchased by Maverick Gaming LLC in 2019, Grand Z Casino is the newest.

CC Gaming LLC purchased what was known as Reserve Casino in early 2017. Then, after renovations and upgrades that took more than a year to complete, it reopened in June 2018 under the moniker Grand Z Casino.

As part of the renovations, the hotel rooms were completely revamped, the entire casino was wallpapered, and new LED lighting was added throughout. The hotel features 119 rooms, and there also are 700 covered parking spaces for guests.

The other major upgrade at the time was the addition of what is now known as The Mile High Room, a 300-person entertainment space, which was described at the time of its opening as a “Vegas-style music room.” The Mile High Room regularly hosts live music shows.

In addition to its three Colorado casinos, Maverick also owns properties in several other states. The bulk of Maverick’s casinos are in Washington, where the company owns 19 properties. There are four properties in Nevada: three in Elko and one in Wendover.

It looked as though Maverick was going to acquire both a Louisiana casino and a resort in Lake Tahoe via a deal with Eldorado Resorts. However, in the wake of coronavirus, the company backed out of the deal.
