BLACK HAWK, CO-Fitzgeralds Casino hopes to hit the jackpot with its latest addition in this mountain town west of Denver, where limited-stakes gambling is permitted. The casino company broke ground on a 27,000-sf, $11-million expansion of its property at Main and Gregory streets.

”With this expansion, we are hoping to meet the demands of a growing market,” says Joe Collins, vice president and general manager of the casino. The expansion allows Fitzgeralds to provide another 330 slot machines, a second hospitality booth and a second floor dining area, he adds.

Last November, Majestic Star Casino of Gary, IN, agreed to pay $149 million, plus assume certain liabilities, to purchase three Fitzgeralds casinos, including the one in Black Hawk.
