Rocky Mountain Gaming Acquires Johnny Knowlons Casino And Colorado Grande Casino

Rocky Mountain Gaming CC, LLC announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement with G Investments LLC to acquire operational assets at Minter Holdings, LLC and Colorado Grande Casino to acquire operational assets at Johnny Knowlons Casino. Both properties are managed by David Minter through Minter Holdings LLC. The transaction is pending approval and license from the Colorado Gaming Division.

Rocky Mountain Gaming was founded by David D. Ross, Michael J. Cohen III, and Joseph J. Canfora to find gaming opportunities across the United States. Ross and Cohen have worked together at coastal casinos, Affinity Gaming, and JW Marriott & Lampart casinos for about 30 years. Canfora was the owner of Wildwood Casino in Cliffle Creek before selling its operational assets to Golden Nuggets in 2022. Canfora has more than 40 years of experience in gaming and hospitality.

Joseph J. Canfora said, "I was surprised when David and Michael approached me with the opportunity to get back into the Cripple Creek market for the first time." "After thinking about it, I realized that Johnny Nolan and Colorado Grande offered me the opportunity to maintain the old Cripple Creek casino that locals had become accustomed to."

"With Golden Nugget hosting anchor restaurants like Salt Grass and opening Chamonix this month, the Cripple Creek market is growing fast," said David Ross. "These two operators at both ends of the town will help attract new visitors to Cripple Creek, and we believe our properties have the opportunity to provide a truly local experience that caters to individuals looking for loose slots and personal services."

Johnny Knowles Casino is one of the original casinos on Cripple Creek and is at the heart of the town's historic gaming district, along with the Colorado Grande Casino. The two properties combined have about 400 gaming devices, seven hotel rooms, and operate Maggie's Restaurant in the Colorado Grande. David J. Minter is the sole owner of Johnny Knowles and the majority shareholder of Colorado Grande's operating assets.

"I'm proud of what I've accomplished at these two casinos over the years," said David J. Minter. "While other casinos came in and changed owners, we were a constant in this town. I'm looking forward to what Rocky Mountain Gaming CC brings to this casino that I love so much."  바카라사이트
