Tin Lizzie vs Cadillac Jack's — Which Deadwood BetMGM Book Is Better?
Tin Lizzie Gaming Resort and Cadillac Jack's Gaming Resort are the two BetMGM sportsbook partners in Deadwood, both on Main Street and both opened on September 9, 2021 — the day South Dakota launched retail sports betting. Same operator, same odds, same mobile app — but the on-property experience differs. Here's how to pick.

Best For
Tin Lizzie
Historical sports betting fans, "first bet" symbolism
Cadillac Jack's
Lounge atmosphere, Vegas-style retail experience
Verdict
Functionally they're nearly identical — same BetMGM odds, same mobile app, same Main Street walking distance. Tin Lizzie has the historic edge as the casino that took SD's first legal sports bet, while Cadillac Jack's has the more Vegas-styled sportsbook lounge designed by former Las Vegas designers. If you only visit one, pick based on hotel proximity for your trip; if you visit both (they're only blocks apart), do Tin Lizzie for the history photo op and Cadillac Jack's for the lounge atmosphere.
