Q: What attracted Golden Gaming, which acquired the casinos in Black Hawk in 2005, to the market? A: As part of my background with Station Casinos, we were very active in looking at sites around the country. When Colorado was initiating the process of legalizing gaming (in the early 1990s) we had come up and were exploring opportunities in the state. So from that time, we've had a familiarity with this area.
