Several Deadwood casinos have been financially penalized for violating state gambling laws earlier this year. The South Dakota Commission on Gaming approved the fines on Tuesday.
The punishments included:
A $3,000 fine, with $2,750 suspended, for IGT. Its self-serve kiosk inside The Lodge at Deadwood casino on September 14 accepted three wagers on the football game between Black Hills State University and St. Thomas University. It is illegal to bet on games of South Dakota University or college teams. The wagers were voided within 10 to 15 minutes and IGT self-reported the violations on September 16.
A $3,000 fine, with $2,750 suspended, for DWD Resorts, owner of The Lodge at Deadwood casino.
