LAS VEGAS, Jan. 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Affinity Gaming ("Affinity") today announced that it has completed the previously announced sale of the Golden Gates, Golden Gulch and Mardi Gras casino properties in Black Hawk, Colorado, to Twin River Worldwide Holdings, Inc.

"We are pleased to complete the sale of these three casino properties as we sharpen our focus on Affinity's other key markets in Nevada and the Midwest," said Mary Beth Higgins, Chief Executive Officer of Affinity Gaming.
