We spent a very profitable three weeks at the Gold Creek Casino in Cripple Creek over the Christmas holidays. That is my favorite all time casino. Not because of the poker, my husband and I were up just $100. Nothing wrong with the poker. They spread a spread limit 2-10, a spread limit 2-100, and a Omaha H/L 48 limit. What we like most are the generous room and food comps. There is a grill from which poker players can order anything they want as often as they want.

The money maker is the casino wide Saturday drawings. We have been very lucky in having our names drawn for big money prizes. A great social security supplement. The poker room also has promotions. A board of payouts for hands of quads or better, and In March they are starting tournaments, held every two months, for players who have logged 80 or more hours of play in the previous two months. It is either $3000 or $3600, can't remember for sure, a free roll. I told my husband to hurry and get his knee problems under control so we can return to Colorado.
