The commission also granted licenses to four casinos in Central City and one in Black Hawk. Colorado voters approved a referendum in November legalizing sports wagering, which is scheduled to begin May 1, though customers will have few, if any, sporting events on which to bet as college and most professional sports leagues have temporarily shut down because of the coronavirus pandemic.
