Ameristar Casino Black Hawk online gambling partnerships

The Ameristar was granted its sports betting license in March 2020 and the license is active for two years. As of this writing it has not been announced who the Ameristar plans on partnering with for its online sports wagering.

Ameristar Sportsbook Black Hawk

Sports betting was legalized in Colorado after a referendum passed in 2019. Starting May 1, 2020 both onsite and online sports wagering will be allowed.

Ameristar has not announced who it will partner with to run both its in-person and online sportsbook. However, in January 2020 Penn National Gaming, which owns Ameristar, acquired a stake in Barstool Sports and plans on launching a Barstool Sportsbook brand in the near future.

PNG currently operates Hollywood Casino at Penn National in Pennsylvania. At Hollywood Casino, bettors can wager on just about every sport available at the casino’s retail sportsbook. The types of wagers they accept include straight bets, parlays, match-ups, futures, props, and in-play betting.

In Colorado, it appears likely that Ameristar will be able to accept bets on all those contests and possibly even more. Colorado has a Sports Betting Catalog that will include everything sportsbooks are able to take wagers on. The catalog is not available to the public yet, but the Colorado Limited Gaming Control Commission has stated the catalog is massive.

Ameristar obtained its sports betting license in March 2020.

Ameristar Casino overview

Ameristar Casino Black Hawk boosts 57,000 square feet of gaming space with 1,250 gaming machines, 40 table games, and a live poker room. When it opened in 2001, it was the largest casino in Colorado.

The Ameristar features skylight ceilings, slate floors, and timber beams throughout as well as huge floor-to-ceiling fireplaces, giving it a mountain lodge feel.

Ameristar’s casino slot and video poker machines range from pennies to $100.

Slot machines

Ameristar has 1,250 slot and video poker machines. The most popular machines at the Ameristar are Buffalo Gold, Buffalo Grand, and Dragon Link. They feature all varieties of slots though, including interactive video slots, classic reel machines, and both single and multi-hand video poker.

Table games

Because of Colorado’s current gaming restrictions, poker, blackjack, craps, and roulette are the only table games permitted. Ameristar has 40 tables and features all four games. The casino also offers bonus craps.

When it comes to poker, Ameristar has:

• Head’s Up Hold’em
• Flop Poker
• High-Card Flush

Ameristar rewards program

The Ameristar Casino is part of the national mychoice loyalty program, which is used across Penn National Gaming casinos throughout the country. What that means is mychoice rewards that players earn at any PNG casino, such as the Tropicana Casino in Las Vegas, can be redeemed at other PNG casinos, like the Ameristar.

New mychoice members receive $30 in free play guaranteed. On their first visit, members get a complimentary $5, then $10 on their second visit, and $15 on their third. Mychoice members also have the chance to get up to $500 after those three visits.

When you play slots and table games with mychoice, you receive tier points and mycash. Tier points allow you to advance to the next membership level, while mycash can be redeemed for free playing, dining, shopping, or hotel stays.

In the casino, players accrue one tier point for every $5 of slot play, $10 of video poker, and $40 of electronic table game play. Players also earn one point for every $10 bet on horse racing. The amount of points players accrue from tradition table games varies based on the game, length of play, and average bet.

You also can earn points outside casinos, receiving one tier point for every $5 spent on dining, drinking, or retail purchases at participating outlets.

Lastly, players receive two tier points for every $1 spent at Hollywood Casino.

As expected, the more points earned, the higher status players achieve, and the better the benefits become. Here’s how many points are needed to reach each mychoice level:

• Choice: 0-999
• Advantage: 1,000-17,999
• Preferred: 18,000-49,999
• Elite: 50,000-199,999
• Owner’s Club: 200,000+
