Introduction to South Dakota Slot Machine Casino Gambling in 2020
South Dakota slot machine casino gambling consists of the frontier town of Deadwood’s twenty-two commercial casinos as well as nine tribal casinos. Further, there are over 9,000 video lottery terminal (VLT) style gaming machines at retailers and pari-mutuel sites spread throughout the state.
A minimum theoretical payout limit was been set for slot machines at casinos within Deadwood. Further, monthly return statistics are available for Deadwood’s casinos. Neither are available for tribal casinos in South Dakota.

Relevant Legal Statutes on Gambling in South Dakota*
The minimum legal gambling age in South Dakota depends upon the gambling activity:
- Land-Based Casinos & VLTs: 21
- Poker Rooms: 21
- Bingo: 18
- Lottery: 18
- Pari-Mutuel Wagering: 18
In 1989, South Dakota was the first state to offer video lottery terminals (VLTs). Regulation of VLTs at bars and taverns is the responsibility of the South Dakota Lottery. Each retailer can have up to 30 machines per gambling license with a limit of 3 permits per operator. There are currently 1,325 such operators.
In the frontier town of Deadwood, children may accompany their parents in most casinos until 8 p.m. South Dakota is the only U.S. gaming jurisdiction which allows minors to be present while their parents gamble.
South Dakota’s American Indian tribes have negotiated and approved tribal-state compacts. These gaming compacts include a sliding scale for how many slot machines each tribal casino may have, specifically:
- 500 gaming machines at the effective date of the compact
- 600 gaming machines after two years
- 750 gaming machines after four years
South Dakota also has two pari-mutuel facilities with horseracing during the spring season, but do not offer slot machines at them. An additional racetrack facility offers dog racing and simulcast betting.
*The purpose of this section is to inform the public of state gambling laws and how the laws might apply to various forms of gaming. It is not legal advice.
