April 2023 gaming statistics show Deadwood continued on pace to have its biggest gaming year ever.

As of the end of April, 2023 is now up to $466 million in total handle which is almost $7 million more than at this point in 2021 — the highest total annual handle on record when Deadwood experienced an unprecedented betting boom as gamblers entered casinos for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic.

Though Deadwood gaming handles were unprecedently high due to unusual circumstances in 2021, casinos had their second biggest year in 2022 when total annual handle fell just 1.55% the previous year.

Compared to last year, April handle is up in all categories.
