Sports betting is coming to Deadwood and casinos are getting ready in a big way.

An Oxford Economics study found that sports betting in South Dakota will bring 22.1 million dollars in additional gaming revenue, 6.1 million dollars in additional income, and 152 gaming jobs.

Things are starting to come together for one Deadwood Casino. With 29 TV’s and a whole section dedicated to sports betting, the Deadwood Mountain Grand hopes to have construction done within the next couple months.

“Today almost all the TV’s are here, we are still missing four… All the sports that you can think of, we’re going to try to have them here for you,” Tyler Nold, Casino Manager, said.
