The company buying the historic Franklin Hotel and Silverado gambling complex in the heart of Deadwood from Super G Investments now has the necessary South Dakota licenses.
The South Dakota Commission on Gaming in a special teleconference meeting Monday approved operator and retail licenses for SGMSD, LLC and approved Jon Grant Lincoln as key licensee.
Lincoln is chief executive officer for Strategic Gaming Management, a Missoula, Montana-based business. He also is a consultant for ZenSports, a West Hollywood, California-based phone-betting app company that has been expanding.
ZenSports in 2021 exercised its Nevada gaming licenses to operate the Big Wheel Casino in Lovelock, Nevada, and The Book at Baldini’s in Reno, Nevada.
