Casino visitors in Deadwood, South Dakota, spent 2.3% more in February compared to the previous year
Of the total, $102 million (about 8.63 billion rubles) was spent on slot machines, while table games accounted for $6.9 million (584.2 million rubles). Year-over-year, spending on slot machines rose by 2.26%, and table games saw a 2.7% increase. Sports betting generated $717,000 (60.706 million rubles), reflecting a 4.6% rise from the previous year, driven by wagers on the early rounds of the NCAA men's basketball tournament and the NFL Super Bowl. The volume of bets on NCAA Division I competitions is expected to increase in March, as the majority of the tournament series takes place then.
The South Dakota Gaming Commission also noted that in February, Deadwood gaming operators provided nearly $1.5 million (127 million rubles) in free play funds to users. The adjusted gross revenue subject to taxation reached nearly $10 million (846.6 million rubles). With a 9% tax rate, gaming in Deadwood contributed over $800,000 (67.73 million rubles) to state revenues.
Currently, Deadwood is the only area in South Dakota where gambling is legalized. The city, which is home to 20 gaming establishments, is located 60 miles from Mount Rushmore along Highway 385. Sports betting has been permitted in Deadwood since 2020, but only within the confines of the city's casinos, which include Cadillac Jack’s Gaming Resort, Gold Dust Casino, and Tin Lizzie Gaming Resort, among others.
Meanwhile, Clark County has approved the construction of a Hard Rock Tower in the shape of a guitar on the Mirage property.
