loose slots and good buffets

Which casino in Deadwood has the loosest slots (I%26#39;ve heard they are all rather tight) and who has the best buffet?

Also, what is a good restaurant for a casual meal

that best reflects Deadwood%26#39;s character?

Thanks

loose slots and good buffets

The casinos on the edges of town (First Gold on the north and the Comfort Inn on the south) seem to make claims about good payouts but I don%26#39;t know if it%26#39;s true or just marketing. It is kind of a pain to get to both of places if you%26#39;re downtown. The Deadwood Trolley is your best bet.

The more popular buffets seem to be the Silverado, the Gold Dust and the Four Aces. I think the Four Aces is the best but I only eat at the buffets once in a while. Usually all of them have crab legs on Friday nights. I%26#39;ve had terrible waits at the Silverado.

By a casual meal do you mean a burger and fries or a non-buffet sit down place? Probably the best food is at the Deadwood Social Club above the Saloon #10. You%26#39;ll need to make a reservation but it%26#39;s worth it. It doesn%26#39;t get any more ';Deadwood'; than the Saloon #10 complex.

For a steak you might try the Gem Steakhouse in the Mineral Palace. This is one of the newer, larger casinos where most of the ambiance of the old west is long gone (just like the Silverado or the other larger casinos).

For a burger in a diner type setting, try Mustang Sally%26#39;s.

Tin Lizzie has great burgers and what I think is the best salad bar in Deadwood. They are a small operation, the people are friendly and a lot of locals play %26amp; eat there. They have daily specials. If you like buffet food you%26#39;ll like Deadwood. If I wanted a good sitdown restaurant, I wouldn%26#39;t pick Deadwood. Try Spearfish(10 miles away). They have Sanford%26#39;s %26amp; Guadalajara%26#39;s or better yet drive to Beulah, Wy. for the best steak you%26#39;ll ever eat. As far as payouts....it%26#39;s a crap shoot....no pun intended. Have a great time.

The TwoCoiner (50 cents) breakfast at Siverado is a great deal. They have some variations with add-ons that can get a really decent breakfast for under $2. Defintely too modern to be ';in character'; but still a deal.

Thanks for all your information! I think every place

mentioned will be on our list of possibilities!
