Colorado Amendment 50 was a citizen's initiative that amended the Colorado state constitution to:

  • allow residents of Central City, Black Hawk, and Cripple Creek to vote to extend casino hours, approve additional games, and increase the maximum bet limit;
  • give most of the gaming tax revenue that results from new gaming limits to Colorado community colleges and to the gaming cities and counties;
  • require statewide voter approval for any gaming tax increase if new gaming limits are adopted by any gaming town; and
  • exempt the revenue raised from new gaming limits from state and local revenue spending limits[1]

As of August 2008, Ameristar Casino in Black Hawk had given $2 million to Coloradans for Community Colleges, part of the $7 million in contributions that had been made by supporters of the amendment. Much of the contributions were expected to pay for advertising aimed at potential voters.[2]

The amendment passed with 58.6% of the vote.[3]
