Saratoga Casino Debuts

By Staff Report | Business

BLACK HAWK, CO — Saratoga is now in Colorado, kind of. Saratoga Casino Black Hawk officially opened its doors for the first time last week in Black Hawk, Colorado. The opening comes just five months after Saratoga Harness Racing, Inc. (SHRI), owner of Saratoga Casino and Raceway completed its acquisition of the property, previously known as Fitzgeralds Casino Black Hawk.

Before opening, the property was totally renovated including a new table game area, the addition of Diamond Jim’s Bar and a 120-seat Garden Buffet restaurant. The renovations cost $7.5 million. 

“As we mark another important milestone for our company today, we are very proud to introduce the essence of world class Saratoga Springs, a celebrated name in tourism, to Black Hawk,” said Dan Gerrity, President of SHRI. “The unveiling of Saratoga Casino Black Hawk establishes a little piece of Saratoga in the Rockies.”

The goal of the project was to provide a gaming experience that represents the elegance Saratoga has long been known for. With a décor of rich tones, wood panels, equestrian-themed art work and custom light features.
