Century Casino

Century Casino is the total entertainment package.  The casino features 525 of the latest slots, 6 blackjack tables, a Poker room and craps and roulette available in July.  Enjoy delicious food in the Mid City Grill or Retro Deli.  The signature dish of Century is the $5.99 Prime Rib Special served daily from 11am in the Grill.

Parking is very convenient with the 500 space covered parking garage just feet from the gaming floor. Spend the night in the spacious 26 room “boutique style” hotel that is beautifully appointed with pillow-top beds and LCD flat screens. Select suites also offer Jacuzzi tubs and fireplaces.

The true “Century Difference” is evident in the fun, relaxed, warm and friendly staff that know how to make you feel special and welcome with each visit. The family ambiance found at Century is unparalleled in a casino of its size.

The history of the building is as exciting as the slot floor. The former Tollgate and Golden Rose buildings were reconstructed to flow with the new addition. The property encompasses an entire city block along Main Street in the heart of Central City. Many of the hotel rooms maintain their original physical features as well as some interesting spirits of past tenants. The buildings were constructed after the Great Fire of 1874 destroyed most of the business district. The Golden Rose building has been home to important businesses such as a jeweler, a grocery store, a bakery, a liquor store, a fruit stand and appropriately, a card room. The Toll Gate Building opened as a market, became a saloon, then morphed into an antique store. As we celebrate the history of Gilpin County and Central City, the spirit of adventure, fun and entertainment is alive and well at Century Casino.
