There are only 2 realistic ways to get to Blackhawk/Central City.
1) Drive a car
2) Take a tour bus
If you drive, I personally like the canyon route (Hwy 119 from Golden). It seems a bit slower but usually doesn't make that much difference, especially into lower Blackhawk which is where most of the good poker is. The difference is the grade (incline). It's much more flat so saves a lot on gas as opposed to the other way (I-70).
Though they are not my thing, the tour busses are very popular. I am pretty sure you will have no problem finding one leaving from anyplace in Denver.
I suppose taxi is a theoretical 3rd option, but ... see next answer.

A lot. I expect around $100 each way with a small tip. For the cost of a round trip you could easily rent a car for your whole stay.
