Gaming numbers saw no year-to-year growth in January, as statistics released by the South Dakota Commission on Gaming Thursday showed a .01% overall decline, compared with January 2022.

Gamers visiting Deadwood in January dropped just under $113 million in machines and on tables for a 0.01% decrease compared to January 2022.

This resulted in $10.4 million in taxable adjusted gross revenues for the industry in January. Of that, 9%, or $936,043, was collected as state tax and distributed to various entities across the state.

“We are pleased that we were able to maintain revenues with January of 2022,” said Mike Rodman, executive director of the Deadwood Gaming Association. “We look forward to another successful year in 2023 for Deadwood.”
