“Playing poker in the Golden Gates Blackhawk poker room is like playing in your best friend’s home game,” says Golden Gates poker room manager, Nathan “Cage” Yanchunis.
The Golden Gates Casino poker room under Yanchunis has turned Black Hawk into a premier poker destination by hosting poker series from the Mid-States Poker Tour, Heartland Poker Tour and now the CPPT. The Poker Parlour is also home to the Colorado Poker Championship, which just wrapped up this December.
CPPT players in this tournament will enjoy a healthy 30,000 starting stack and generous blind levels. There are two starting flights, Jan. 19 and Jan. 20, and the final table is Jan. 21.
Golden Gates’ 17-table room with expanded capability for tournaments affords their players a unique customer service experience. Yanchunis has implemented a series of daily and weekly promotions resulting in a loyal base which provides great action. The “high hand” promotions are attainable and thus keeps the frequent pay-offs in the room’s poker economy. A $1 – $100 spread limit mix Omaha high and Omaha eight-or-better is dealt daily along with traditional Hold ‘em games. The log-cabin design with exposed wood and stonework complement the leather chairs to bring a warmth to the spacious and bright room.
The poker room is open Monday through Thursday, 9a.m. – 4 a.m. and 24 hours a day Friday through Sunday. Players can earn cash back with the VIP rakeback program, which awards $100, $150 or $200 for playing 20, 30 or 40 hours in a given week. Players can use comp dollars in any of the casino’s bars, restaurants, cafes or even for table-side dining.
From David Chiu to Paul Wasicka to Jeremy Ausmus to 2016 WSOP Colossus winner Benjamin Keeline, Colorado has produced world class competitive poker players. Who’s next? Add your name to the list and suit up for the 2018 Card Player Poker Tour event coming soon at the Golden Gates Casino in Black Hawk.

Golden Gates Casino Details
Golden Gates Casino has one of the biggest poker rooms in Colorado, with around 20 tables of action offered every hour of the day and night. Based in the Colorado gambling hotspot of Black Hawk, the establishment describes its poker section as a “Poker Parlour.” This seems accurate given that the playing area is segregated from the rest of casino floor and commands its own room.
The Golden Gates Poker Parlour is based upon a cottage or log-cabin design. Exposed stonework and wood is seen all around this clean and bright room. The 10-handed tables are set with dark brown leather seats on top of light brown wave-patterned carpet. With retro television screens mounted all around the room, players are able to watch sports and keep track of tournament information from their chairs.
The Gilpin Poker Room
Comps can be accumulated here and exchanged for many meal options. Tableside food delivery is one of the options given to users of this service — giving access to the full range of food available in the casino’s bars, cafes, and restaurants. On a daily basis, players have access to no-limit hold’em, limit hold’em, and pot-limit Omaha cash games in addition to split-pot games if enough interest can be demonstrated to the card room manager. Golden Gates Poker Parlour is also the venue of several major annual tournaments. The Heartland Poker Tour makes a televised stop here and provides an event that often generates more than $1 million in guaranteed prize money. Colorado residents are also attracted to the Colorado Poker Championship, which tends to boast at least half of that amount in prizes every August and September. Daily poker tournaments also take place at least four times per day at a more affordable level for recreational players and low-stakes grinders.
