Sports betting and igaming operator BetMGM has officially launched in the state of South Dakota.

The firm is now offering retail sports betting in Deadwood after forming a partnership with Liv Hospitality’s Tin Lizzie Gaming Resort and Cadillac Jack’s Gaming Resorts last month.

The Tin Lizzie Gaming Resort features a brand new sportsbook venue, retail betting windows, big-screen TVs, and betting kiosks around the property.

Meanwhile, Cadillac Jack’s has multiple betting kiosks and writers stations for guests preferring to place over-the-counter wagers.

The South Dakota State Legislature was given the go-ahead by voters on November 3, 2020, to legalize sports betting within the city.

Pending regulatory approval, BetMGM’s mobile app is set to be available within both venues soon, complementing the retail sportsbook already in place.

Commenting on the initial partnership announcement, Adam Greenblatt, BetMGM CEO, said: “Liv Hospitality’s prime resort locations in Deadwood make it an ideal partner for us. Together, we look forward to bringing the BetMGM sports betting experience to South Dakota sports fans.”

BetMGM also recently launched its digital sports betting platform in the state of Arizona.
