Colorado gaming taxes double in a month but edge up just 1.9% on year
Total adjusted gross proceeds rose just 0.21% on August 2025, while table games grew 16.66%, according to the state's Division of Gaming.
Colorado collected $13.8 million in gaming taxes in August 2026, double the previous month but only 1.92% above August 2025. The Colorado Division of Gaming, part of the state’s Department of Revenue, published the monthly figures on 13 October 2026.
The release does not say why July’s total was about half of August’s.

- Total taxes: $13,772,703.61, up 100.37% from $6,873,709.13 in July and up 1.92% from $13,512,931.33 in August 2025.
- Total adjusted gross proceeds (AGP): $104,008,048.48, up 0.74% on July and 0.21% on August 2025.
- Table AGP: $15,497,922.29, up 10.11% on July and 16.66% on a year earlier. That is equal to 14.9% of total AGP.
- Taxes for fiscal year 2026 through August: $20,646,412.74.
The details
The division’s director, Christopher Schroder, said the state’s gaming industry continues to “demonstrate strong performance” and provide tax revenue. He also pointed players to the free responsible-gambling tools on the state’s BetSmart site, including a self-exclusion list.
The release does not give a split of AGP between sports betting and casino gaming, and does not say what drove the table-game growth.
