Maverick Gaming has completed the acquisition of Colorado's Grand Z Casino, Z Casino and Johnny Z’s Casino from CC Gaming.

The Reserve Casino is now The Grand Z Casino Hotel

The few remaining VP machines have been downgraded and cashback earned from play is now half of what it used to be. Earned cashback is only available as free play.

25 cent NSUD machines were removed some time ago. All of the 9-6 Jacks 25cent machines on the first floor have been changed to 8-6 jacks. Spoke to a member of management who said "It was a business decision. We weren't making any money on the 9-6 machines"

Fortune Valley casino is now the Reserve Casino.

March 30, 2011. At that time there were only eight NSU machines upstairs in a circle - east end of casino..all other machines upstairs and down were downgraded. I was told Fortune Valley's new owners do not want video poker players- just slot players. Sorry to push this so hard but did not want anyone else to travel so far to be disappointed.

Fortune Valley has a bank of four $0.25 and four $1 multi-game machines with a sign posted "pay out the highest legal limit in Colorado". 2 best games in the machines are 99.96% DW and 99.96% DDB. There are also several machines such as Triple Pay and Multi Strike that have games with over 98% payout scattered throughout the casino.

Fortune Valley and all Colorado casinos are, since 4 July 2009, allowed to stay open 24 hours and to operate roulette & craps tables.

The hours of operation for all Colorado
casino's slot clubs is 8AM to 2 AM.

FYI $2.00 played equals 1 point on VP (Changed June '06)

FV has 25c NSUD.

Fortune Valley: Almost a video poker wasteland. Has a few $1 9/6 JOB. One 9/6 quarter JOB slant-top at the end of a bank of 8/5's. I've not found any NSUD on any machines here. They do have some nickle 8/6 JOB. Also have some multi-strike machines that are 9/5 (maybe 8/6, didn't write it down, one coin short, in any case) for dimes or quarters. Not the greatest pay table, but I'll admit these are fun - location and game details are unknown. They send out monthly coupons. We've played here a fair bit (maybe 2000 coin-in and about 15 hours in the poker room) in the last few months, and get a series of $5 coupons, one for each week or four days. Also hotel discounts for a free night mid-week each month and rooms for $30 or $40 midweek. My wife got a birthday card for $50 Friday night room and a gift. Surprisingly, it was a pretty nice pen. Cocktail service is OK. Irritatingly, you have to pay for Corona when playing slots. Only draft is comped. Coronas are comped in the poker room, but I guess they should be at the rate I lose money in there.

Hotel is old, but clean. Restaurant is acceptable.
