Small towns in the United States seem to have the right ideas when it comes to casinos. As more and more legislation is being discussed on doing away with certain aspects of casino gambling, many small towns are decided to expand. The small town of Cripple Creek, near Denver, Colorado has voted to provide more games, longer playing hours and higher bets to their three casinos.

The change will take place in July and hopefully will provide the small town with more tourists and tax revenue, not to mention more jobs that are desperately needed. New games will be added including Craps and Roulette. Craps will have betting limits of $100 since the betting limit was raised from $5 to $100 for casino games.

With the addition of Craps and the other games, tourists as well as residents will have many more choices when it comes to placing their bets. It will make for a more interesting experience and keep players in the casinos longer.

Currently the town only has slots, blackjack and poker and they would close from 2am to 8am. Now the casinos will offer more games and stay open twenty four seven. It is believed that if more small towns add the changes then the tax revenue could increase in the state by around $300 million every year for the first five years.
