According to the American Gaming Association, South Dakota is home to commercial and tribal gaming operators that support jobs for more than 4,000 South Dakotans and $77.8 million in tax revenue annually for all levels of government. Gaming tax revenue is used to promote South Dakota as a tourist destination and is essential to the city of Deadwood. State gaming taxes are also allocated to historic site preservation.
