Doing a road trip with the missus to the Black Hills, Badlands, Rushmore, etc., and I worked a night of gambling in Deadwood into the deal. Any suggested spots to rack up a few hours of $1/$3 NLHE?
When I went 8-10 years ago I couldn't find a game, hopefully you do a better job finding something. I was in the Badlands when we heard Michael Jackson passed away. Was an interesting trip after that..

When are you going? I’m going on the 1st. Saloon 10 for drunk 2-10 games at night. Silverado Franklin runs 2-100 or sometimes 2-1000. It’s all spread limit, no no-limit.
I haven’t been to Cadillac Jacks much but I’ve heard of them playing 5-300 or 10-300 spread limit. I played 5-10 Limit Omaha but that game died out last time I was there.
Supposedly The Lodge up the hill had been known for allowing locals to collude so I never go there.
I was there this past summer on a trip through the Black Hills to Montana. I was in Deadwood one night - I think it was a Wednesday. It was a pretty dead scene (no pun intended).
I played at Cadillac Jacks. There were two tables of 2-50 dollar spread limit with blinds of 1 and 2. I'd never played that format. it was actually pretty fun. It was a soft game and had several elderly nits. However it also some pretty loose aggressive play as you were never going to get raised more than $50.
I also went to Saloon No. 10 and they did not have a game going when I arrived at about 5pm. They didn't know if, or when, they would have a game that night. They said they usually have a table going on weekends. I think there were only 3 table in the place. It is small and rustic. It is also not on the original site - but across the street.
The Lodge is not in the town proper, but only about a 3 minute drive up a bluff. Apparently they have a small buy in nightly tournament that is all regs. I didn't go there.
I think there might be one other poker room - maybe the Silverado. Not sure.
My recommendation is to go to Saloon No 10. Check it out to see if they have a game. If so, you can say you played where Wild Bill played. If there is nothing there, try Cadillac Jacks.
