The report highlights month-over-month consistency in slot performance alongside the accelerated growth in table games, which outpaced slots on a percentage basis for the period examined.

Statewide Context and Reporting

State gaming officials compile these monthly totals from all 33 land-based casinos operating under Colorado regulations, and the May 2026 numbers reflect activity at every facility within the three designated regions. The 6.1% year-over-year rise stands as the largest such increase in the past 36 months, according to the same dataset. Revenue from slots reached $89.5 million while table games reached $16.3 million, producing the combined $105.8 million figure without overlap or double-counting between categories.

Black Hawk’s $81.2 million total remained the dominant regional contributor, yet the percentage gains in Cripple Creek and Central City helped lift the statewide average. The distribution across regions stayed consistent with historical patterns, with the mountain communities continuing to account for all reported land-based gaming activity in the state.

Additional Figures from the Report

These category-specific changes combined to produce the overall 6.1% statewide advance to $105.8 million.

State records indicate that all 33 casinos submitted data for the month, and no facilities were excluded from the aggregate totals. The regional sums of $81.2 million, $17.5 million, and $7.1 million add precisely to the statewide figure, confirming internal consistency within the report.
