The city of Deadwood celebrated its twentieth anniversary on November the 1st. Has it really been twenty years since the town legalised gambling?. High employment was a huge problem during the 1989 recession and Deadwood desperately needed an injection of money into the town. In a bit to alter what seemed like a hopeless situation, local law was altered so allowing gambling to take place in the city. No one could really have forecast the dramatic effect the change had on the town over the next 20 years!

Once the number of casinos started to grow it had a impact on the price of property which started to climb considerably. The city’s reputation as a Wild West town in the past worked to its favour and attracted a theme to the city. With the vast audience the tv can cast, the winning series of Deadwood managed to run for a brilliant three seasons. It wasn’t long before the city was full again with tourists flocking in with the very happy sound of clinking coins in the slot machines.

Nowadays the town has licenses for 100 card tables and has well over 3500 slot machines. Even though gambling is now legal, there are still restrictions put in place and you still are unable to bet more than 100 US Dollars on a table, that doesn’t seem to put people off visiting the town for gambling. Due to the fact that plenty of money was now coming in to Deadwood due to the casinos, it has meant that there has been a huge surge in development and restoration in the town. The millions of dollars that has been brought into the town by the casino industry have been put to good use and Deadwood recently claimed the title of America’s Prettiest Town by Forbes Magazine!

With all the press that casinos are getting of late, it is good to see that a town is celebrating the success that has come with the legalisation of gambling within the town limits. With continued development of their entertainment facilities and live fixtures, Deadwood looks likely to remain a hugely popular casino location for future generations.

But if you can’t get to Deadwood, you can try your hand online at the some absolutely fantastic Rakeback Deals. You can participate in Party Poker Rakeback, PKR Poker Rakeback or whatever you desire and better still you don’t have to leave your front door
