Grand Z Casino sportsbook

The only form of online gambling that is legal in Colorado is sports wagering. Starting May 1, 2020, casinos were able to open both retail and online sportsbooks; before that date no online betting of any kind was allowed in the state.

Online sportsbooks are able to accept wagers from anywhere within state lines, as opposed to other states that restrict bettors to placing wagers only while on casino property.

Maverick Gaming and Grand Z have not announced any specific plans regarding online or retail sportsbooks. However, when Maverick purchased Grand Z in 2019, Maverick majority owner Eric Persson referenced sports betting as part of the reason for the acquisition.

Grand Z and Maverick Gaming have not announced exact plans for retail and online sportsbook operations. The organization is set up to offer sports betting, as there are master licenses in place for all three Maverick properties. Based on comments and agreements Maverick has at its Nevada casinos, it’s a safe bet these properties will offer some form of sports betting.

Maverick owns four casinos in Nevada, three of which have sportsbooks: Red Garter Hotel and Casino, Red Lion Hotel and Casino and Wendover Nugget Hotel and Casino. All three are run by William Hill.

William Hill is no stranger to sports betting. The UK-based company is one of the top sports betting and gaming operators in the world. William Hill already has agreements with two Colorado casinos, Isle Casino and Lady Luck, to run their sportsbooks.

As for Maverick Gaming, it’s not afraid to put substantial money into sports wagering. Majority owner Eric Persson told The Seattle Times it is planning on spending upward of $20 million to $30 million to fight a bill in the state of Washington that would allow sports betting only at tribal casinos in the state.

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.

Grand Z Casino&hotel Central City

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.
