An annual report detailing the breakdown of these distributions is available HERE.

Tax revenue is used to help fund non-profit historic attractions and educational opportunities, promote historical and cultural tourism and preserve historic buildings both commercial and residential.

Since the Deadwood Historic Preservation Commission has helped promote the preservation and interpretation of historic sites, buildings, and properties throughout the state of SD with the Outside-of-Deadwood Grant program. How was gaming legalized in Deadwood? Preservation is not inexpensive. They needed a dedicated funding source. Committee members put in 20, volunteer hours over five years to gather support and signatures.

Its passage and implementation in made Deadwood the third legal gaming destination in the United States after Nevada and Atlantic City.

What other changes have been made to gaming in SD since it was legalized in ? Giving Deadwood the tools it needs to stay competitive nationally as an integrated gaming destination with legal sports wagering is greatly appreciated. Deadwood will continue to uphold its promises to the people of South Dakota as great partners with South Dakota Departments of Tourism and Historic Preservation, along with our contributions to Deadwood Historic Preservation, Lawrence County, and area school districts and municipalities through gaming revenue taxes.

Hopefully, we will be able to accept sports wagers by late summer.
