This is by far the worst casino I have ever had the displeasure to play in. A friend and I went into the casino and within minutes we were escorted out. We didn't do a single thing wrong and we were not intoxicated. We just walked in looking for a good time and were gone immediately. I read another review on another site where the same thing happened. I guess if you walk in looking like you are having a good time, they put a stop to it. This casino sucks and I will never go back there ever!!!
Average food, average service, average price. nothing to get excited about. Maybe Jonny Z will improve things. It used to be awesome back in the day.
We didn't stay long as we are not the last of the big time spenders! This casino has been open for years and has valet parking but nothing new to attract us to stay inside long.
This place is a joke! There's NEVER anyone playing here but they are quick to tell you that you've parked in 1 of 500 VIP parking spots and your vehicle is going to be towed. Really there's more VIP parking to accommodate EVERY car in Blackhawk and 20 regular spaces. Get rid if your VIP and start allowing regular patrons to park here. It no wonder the VIP spots are empty....no one wins here so no one will be a VIP. Pass on this place!
Food was better than I expected for casino food. I am actually going back, and not to gamble, it's for the food. The quesadilla was huge, and delicious, and the chili on the hot dog was homemade, at least it tasted that way.
I actually haven't been to this casino but I was staying in winter park looking at things to do and noticed this place on the list, I live and work In Las Vegas and although I don't currently work at the casino they have in the picture, I did open that casino 3 years ago and I can tell you for 100% certainty that the picture they are using is of The M resort in Las Vegas (technically Henderson nv but few people know that even in vegas) and definately not any resort/casino in Colorado, and the reason it is called the M (hence the big M on the side) is it is named after Anthony Marnell who owned it.
Bullwhackers Casino in Black Hawk has been bought by Affinity Gaming, I believe. Anyway, it's completely remodeled and not Bullwhackers anymore. The new décor is up-to-date, clean and modern. More slots and video poker games have been added too. Best of all, Black Hawk is close to Denver and very easy to get to for a day at the casino. Food is inexpensive but excellent. There are many choices for gaming and all personnel that I met were friendly and helpful. I look forward to "going up the hill" again.
The main thing I like at this Casino is their Sequential Progressive Video Poker machines. I’ve had some large payouts here and the parking is very easy to find and use. Another thing I like is the facts that as you earn comps you earn dollars for the gas station you see on the seven mile stretch up the canyon because the gas station is also owned by Bullwhackers. The only drawback is the gasoline is way over priced. They usually have free popcorn in the basement and it tastes pretty darn good. There is also a small soda fountain type restaurant upstairs where you can use your food comps. Also there is one female valet attendant that likes to insult people as they walk in. The only reason I figure she does this is if you park your vehicle yourself so you don’t have to tip her. I’ve learned to ignore her.
Upon arrival I was greeted by the very friendly director of the HR Department. I said it was my first time there. She directed me to the player's club to get a slot card. There were two slots I had never seen. I tried them out; and had an enjoyable time playing them. I went exploring, and found some old favorite slots. They were fun to play. The bar maid was friendly; and took care of my needs well. Do not let the parking lot intimidate you. The signs aren't clear as to where "self parking" is. There is plenty of free self parking in the rear.
We come to Blackhawk several times a year and decided to give Bullwackers a try. This was mistake, I previously had a club card and asking the cashier to make me one was clearly asking too much. She signed and said ok, never smiling or make eye contact. Then I had the opportunity to experience one of the security people when she checked our ID's, talk about rude. One plus the male staff were friendly, said hi and wished me luck. These two individuals ruined experience and you can guarantee, I will never step foot inside this miserable establishment, ever again. People who make it so clear they hate people, should not work in the hospitality industry!
