A new law signed by Gov. Polis in June gives the state’s Division of Gaming more power to help communities shut down 'gray casinos' in Colorado by allowing the division to conduct investigations outside of the towns where gambling is legal. JennKovaleski

For years, state and local leaders have tried to crack down on so-called “gray casinos,” but operators seemingly find a way around laws each time.

“We’ll be working to get this gray market out of Colorado,” Colorado Division of Gaming Director Dan Hartman said. “I guess for the online games, I guess you could say it’s kind of like casinos,” one cashier told a Denver7 Investigates producer. “We can bring our experts in to talk about what is and what isn’t legal and maybe make it easier for them to tackle this problem,” Hartman said.City Councilman Curtis Gardner recently introduced an ordinance that makes it unlawful to operate the gaming machines found at these businesses. It also notes that cryptocurrency cannot be used for payouts.
