Casinos across the country closed last week amid a public health crisis, but on Monday some remained open for gamblers, notably in Deadwood, South Dakota.

On Sunday, the American Gaming Association said on its website that at least 445 (95%) of the country’s 465 commercial casinos, plus 91% of the country’s 524 tribal casinos, have closed. The closures have already started to have an enormous economic impact on workers, states, and local governments.

Twenty or fewer commercial casinos remain open, and as of Monday at least nine of those properties were in the historic town of Deadwood.

Deadwood has 25 casinos. US Bets made calls to the properties, with one of them, 777 Casino, saying: “[We] don’t plan on closing unless something major happens.”

COVID-19 was declared a national emergency 10 days ago by the federal government.
