I visit Lodge Casino and their sister location The Gilpin. They have a free self park lot opposite the building. Valet parking is free with 3 underground levels. The casino is located on two floors. A range of slots, table games and high value slots on 1st floor plus a full bar & a fast casual eatery near the north entrance. On the 2nd floor are more slots, video poker, another bar and the Seasons Buffet. Reasonable prices. The the south end of the 2nd floor is the White Buffalo which offers happy hour from 3pm-5pm daily, with dinner menu afterwards. Nearby are elevators to the 3rd floor where their hotel is located. The is another elevator near the table games. Multiple handicap accessible restrooms on both floors. They have several ATM's and credit voucher machines where you cash in your slot vouchers or you can visit customer service for cash pay. They even have a cigarette vending machine next to exit to smoke outdoors. See previous review for Seasons Buffet. read more

Just another generic casino in Blackhawk... like it honestly looks the exact same on the inside as 90% of the casinos in Blackhawk, like I can never tell when this casino ends, and another one begins... read more

The Lodge Casino - Casinos Near Me - Black Hawk, Colorado

Lots Ordered 2 drinks never got them Food was okay. Nothin great Went to two bars no bartenders. Marketing attracts people. Definitely not 1st place for fun read more

Clean and friendly casino. Didn't win anything, but enjoyed visiting with all the dealers. More relaxing that Vegas casinos.

Cashier/Card service people are very unprofessional and rude. I was there for a new card, the older short hair lady would not even take my license from my hand when I tried to give it to her, she insisted I just put it on the counter and she took it from there. Please, find friendly qualified humans beings that makes everyone feel welcome. The lady was an older, short hair, and rude woman. I was in her presence around 4:30pm friday. Dinner was good, drink server was attentive, only problem was thIs cashier/card woman. read more

Worst casino I've had the displeasure of spending my money on. My boyfriend and I typically stick with the smaller casinos: Saratoga, Red Dolly, etc., But since we often stay at lady lucky we pass by the lodge all the time. I always wondered how it was. I no longer wonder. The staff is absolutely deplorable. They seemed to have some bias against my boyfriend who is a white male and I - a black woman. We checked out the lower level and then hopped on a couple machines on the upper before deciding to leave. There was hardly anyone there but we did notice a security guy sort of lurking. He hopped on his radio and before we knew it we were ambushed by a floor manager and security telling us to leave due to being "intoxicated " and that it's against the law to gamble while intoxicated. I was shocked to say the least. I had 4 inch platform heels on and we were quietly enjoying ourselves not bothering a soul. It's insane how rude they were with telling us to finish our drink and leave. Absolutely disgusting racist behavior. I will never ever recommend this casino. EVER. Stay away. read more

My family eat at Seasons Buffet 17 Feb - Lunch Nice selection of food and great desserts Server was great Unfortunately Many of the meat & vegetable food items were cold Baked chicken was dry Frozen Choc yogurt was liquidly Tried to us personal login - it would not work Tried to send comments to management - would only work with ......Outlook which I do not have. read more

Left expensive coats at this casino and when I returned to claim them they stated they no longer have them. This casino won't Answer the phone either once they know they "got one up on you skilled players. ". They surveillance all good to great table and slot players alike. Do not go to This casino on Fridays..if you have not noticed it's dead last 5-6 months on Fridays because they lower the odds and Fridays of the "bragging rights" Of taking good players money. Some old lady was died and choking on her own vomit last night and my ex gorl pointed out she needed help. Dumb cage lady says "oh she will be just fine" as she got rolled off the casino floor compelled out of touch. Good luck with this non-responsive fake pretenders. Good luck and love to hear others horror stories about this casino too. Let me know brothers & sisters . read more

This is my second time eating the buffet for lunch. Today everything was left out for way too long and the quality of food was atrocious. Absolutely no seasoning on anything. The scalloped potatoes were awful. I know it is an hour before you close for lunch but paying customers should all have the same experience. I was looking forward to eating here all week and was extremely disappointed. read more

Friendly helpful staff and lots of new machines. Hand sanitizer everywhere and feels clean. I enjoy playing here even though they closed the poker room. read more

Nino floor manager on gaming tables was amazing. Making sure players were taken care of. He has uplifting personality and was just all around fun!!! 5 stars read more

We have gone to the Lodge Casino for many years and never have we experience such absurd rules in the middle of a game. Apparently, It was just recently sold, (but not sure) and the new owners change the chip amount on Roulette when they feel the need to. There were probably 5 people at the one-dollar chip roulette table and a junior pit boss/dealer comes over and tells everyone that after 4spins the price will be going up to 5 dollar a chip. By the way, there was also another table with no one playing and that was already a 5-dollar table. Really!? Why the need to change both?? We left as well as the other players. If you want to charge 5 dollars a chip, DO SO, don't change the price in the middle. You could start that whoever comes to the table new, charge them the new prices and leave the players that were there the same. read more

Convenient valet parking, three floors of gaming with elevator access and a small yet well done buffet. Food was hot and plentiful! read more

Are the machines kinda 'rigged' against the players? Even after playing literally thousands of dollars in one machine, you walk away without even a dollar. I realize you can't always win, but maybe just sometimes. The customers look as though they're going to a funeral. I know its a business to make money but then why advertise having fun if it's not? read more

Need a great place to eat before you go here. Drinks and slots average. Parking is outdoors.

We spent Thanksgiving here. Ate at the buffet for dinner which was fine. If you don't eat crab then it's really overpriced. Had what you would expect to see on a buffet. Although apparently they have pho which I missed. Breakfast the next morning we headed down to the buffet once again. The breakfast buffet is a great deal. They have an omelette station which was good. Then had all the breakfast items you want. Since we were up there for dinner, we planned to stay in the hotel for the night. We were able to check in early and the rooms were very comfortable and clean. read more

This review is for the Seasons buffet at the Lodge casino. I haven't been here is a couple years but was offered a free buffet. So here we are! The line was short for a Saturday evening. The restaurant was clean and all the buffet stations were clean and maintained by staff. The selections were plentiful. They had several delicious pasta dishes and some long standing favorites such as beef and mashed potatoes. They offered some Mexican and Asian dishes but I was too full to try. The big draw was the one pound of crab legs per person. They were amazing-flavorful and easy to crack so as to enjoy all the deliciousness. One pound was very generous. It overflowed a dinner plate. I always love desserts and they had an amazing selection. I enjoyed the cheesecake and cannoli. I can't wait to go back! read more

Had a great time at this casino! Plenty of games to choose from. I stuck with roulette and the slot machines. Will be coming back again in the future! read more

What a beautiful casino. It seems like it is brand new. Very clean, bright and friendly staff. TVs every where and lots of games to choose from. read more

I used to love the Lodge, but no longer feel safe. In fact I feel like it's an environment where someone is going to get robbed or worse. Yelp won't let me to tell you why, so you'll have to guess. read more

We were up in Black Hawk this past weekend, went into the Lodge Casino at ground level, down the stairs and in. P U !!! This lower level smells TERRIBLE! It smells like a mixture of sewage and MOLD! The odor was evident on the entire lower level. I refused to eat at this Casino due to this sickening smell. Don't know what their issue is, as we left the security guard jokes " Going to get some fresh air?" They know there is a problem! read more

Hands down Great! The best staff works here. Everyone is so nice! Eric was our blackjack dealer and was friendly, funny and helpful. We couldn't figure out how to get out of there and Bill from security was nice enough to walk us down the escalator to the exit. Most people just point. We always have the greatest time at the lodge. Thank you Bill and Eric! read more

We were up for lunch on 7/17/24. Had to keep asking for fresh prime rib, fried chicken and other items. It was 12:30 and it seemed like they were just letting the food go down without making any more. read more

Multiple Floors This casino feels very warm and cozy. Upon entering, you may think that it's a bit small and limited, but there are several floors to explore. Take a ride on the escalator and check out every nook and cranny. It's worth the exploration! read more

Oh the beloved casino hotel buffet. Pretty standard, they have the prime rib and snow crab leg clusters, both pretty decent. Other than that they have pizza, fries, chicken nuggies, etc. Post covid they serve for you which is kind of nice and the dessert selection isn't too bad either. read more

Horrid staff hangs up on you ("Trish" answered phone and told me "Carmen" is the manager then put me on indefinite hold. First person who answered hung on up and wouldn't share that their neighbor is the *only family friendly buffet* in Black Hawk /Central City). Isle restaurant is separate from the casino and offers crab buffet at Xmas (and military discount). Isle is wonderful, we go every year (just needed to remember the name because Lodge is their neighbor), too bad they are nasty over the phone even when I asked respectfully. Would never bring my business to Lodge even without kids. I recommend Isle. read more

I was playing blackjack and the dealer kept telling me to hit or stay like I don't know how to play or something. When I didn't listen to her she became aggressive and snapped at me telling me that's not what I'm supposed to do? What? I've been playing blackjack for years and I don't appreciate being told how to bet or play! Is the game rigged at this casino? I would say so. This place use to be fun but I've noticed a definite decline in the way staff acts to their patrons and it's unfortunate and unacceptable. I felt like they act like your money already belongs to them with no regard for customer service. Also the slot games were dirty ( old drinks left behind with smudges and grime on slot surfaces) also with missing chairs at a lot of them I hope people wake up and stop supporting this casino. I know I won't be back, when staff treats you like they hate you there is a very bad dysfunction in the way they practice business ethics. read more

Driving around the mountains just outside Denver, we happen to locate this beautiful casino hidden. The small town it is located in maintains the original town buildings to turn them into stores. It is a very charming place to walk around. The casino only has valet which is nice so you don't have to worry about remembering where you parked the car or having to walk back and forth in the weather. Each staff member we came across was very helpful and happy to greet you whether it was security, waiters, dealers, or custodians. The building seems to be new but well-kept on the inside based on the amount of business they were doing. The casino does have a player's club where you can earn the buffet and other rewards based on your playing mostly the slots. They had a huge variety of slots starting with penny machines all the way up from there. Some machines were all computerized while others were old school (my fav!). Machines let you play without just taking your money. I saw quite a few people when the jackpot on the machines. They were also having drawings for hundreds of dollars for being present and playing. Overall, we had a fantastic experience. We tried the other casinos but coming back to this one as it was so fun and clean. read more

What a great afternoon!!! The place was clean, well lit and the food was delicious. And we won! Not big but had a great time. We even made a commercial and posted on Facebook! Great choice for fun and winning and food. read more

We have dinner often at the White Buffalo Grill Last time we were there the bread was hard as a rock. Why did you change the Bread? The other bread was delicious and all my guests said that also Get the old bread back please read more

This review is only focused on their table games, though were also fans of their buffet. The casino is small but mighty. They've done quite a bit of work on the interior to keep it clean and newer. They've added 2 new craps tables, which I love! Thank you!! Tables are few and far between in Black Hawk & the lodge has at least 4 tables. I've never stayed at the hotel but have heard it's a small hotel with only 50 rooms. read more

I got a chance to check out The Lodge on a recent trip to Black Hawk, along with the majority of the other casinos in the area. I noticed early on that the property is under the same ownership as the Gold Dust West Casinos in Reno, Elko, and Carson City, NV - a few great properties that have been well-travelled for me in the past, so I was all in. Definitely one of the better ones on the Black Hawk gaming corridor in my experience so far. I got a free buffet voucher for signing up with the players club, and it looks like the comps accumulate very quickly - free cash and food offers arrive each month. I've only checked out the casino, Jake's Deli, and the Seasons buffet, which were great, so can't really comment on any other aspects of the property. Their players club is also tied in with the Gilpin, another great property just down the street. My only suggestion would be to bring in a few more of the traditional quarter Blazing Sevens machines, as there are only two at present. However, they fire pretty well! Recommended overall. read more

They drastically increased the price of the buffet, AND to top it off, crab legs are now only served on weekends. The buffet food was extremely sub par. Won't be back here ever again. read more

My husband and I visited for the first time yesterday to eat at the Seasons Buffet. The food was good, but here is the reason for my concern. They have a sign on the door like anyone else, requesting that you not enter if you have any symptoms of possible covid. The only places that actually take a temperature are the doctors offices I have visited. However, this business goes so far as to have their customers stand on a square while a camera scans your face for your "temperature." Your face is monitored in a square that reminds me of the facial recognition monitoring in China. And then as you move forward off the square, the monitor follows your face! While we willingly submitted to that to get to get in, I am now quite uncomfortable with the entire thing. It is an invasion of privacy. Apparently they cannot trust their customers to walk through the door if they feel well enough. Why should I patronize a business that wants to play Big Brother? Sorry. Other places have food, too. read more

IGNORE the fake 5 star reviews! They pay someone to post those!! If this casino could receive 0 stars I'd give them one. This casinos management is horrible, especially Michael a manager who refused to give his last name when he was kicking out customers 10 minutes before 2 AM. Nobody wins on the slots here anymore and they had one of their highest profitable years ever in 2021. Covid this casino lost a lot and now they got away with lowering there payout percentages so they are doing the same in 2022. I've been to every casino in this state and this casino went way down hill in last year and a half. Nobody goes here anymore that I know (regulars) anymore bc they are extremely rude to there clientele and you NEVER WIN anymore. Save your money and go. Across the street..anywhere but here! Horrible staff and horrible odds! read more

Me and my wife are current VIP Players but we are getting very unhappy playing slots here. We used to win often enough to make it worth our while. The slot machines have gotten so ridiculously tight that it is no longer enjoyable. We don't expect to win a hand-pay jackpot every time we go but to sit there week after week and not even break past $100.00 is not fun. It is getting noticeably bad and to the point that a lot of us that know each other are seeing and saying the same thing. If this doesn't change, we will not be going anymore and will seek out another casino with looser slot machines. read more
