Gaming in Deadwood is on the rise despite the COVID-19 pandemic. The South Dakota Commission on Gaming released numbers showing the casinos in town are doing better than the beginning of last year.

David Knight is the General Manager of Tin Lizzie Gaming Resort. He says foot traffic in his casino has increased.

“They’re tired of being at home and they’re looking for something fun and exciting to do so we are really seeing a lot of upticks in business here in Tin Lizzie based on that,” Knight said.

Knight says it’s important that customers feel safe and comfortable at Tin Lizzie.
