Somewhere, Al Swearengen would have smiled at seeing the operator profits from NFL wagering in Deadwood — and let fly with his customary string of expletives over giving some of it back in college football plays.

The South Dakota Commission on Gaming released its first sports wagering revenue report Monday from the four locations in the former gold rush town offering the public the opportunity to pan picks into profits. The Mount Rushmore State reported $443,365 in handle for September, with operators keeping $71,320, good for a 16.1% win rate after launching Sept. 9. The state taxes gaming revenue at 9%, giving it $6,419 for the month’s wagering activities.
