Mustang Sally’s Deadwood is a Main Street sports bar and grill with approximately 30 slots and two sports-wagering kiosks. Its strongest reason to visit is the combination: burgers, televised games, a dog-friendly patio, and casual gambling in one downtown stop. The limitation is scale. This is not a casino resort with rooms and an extensive gaming selection. I think it makes the most sense for sports fans, casual players, and groups already exploring downtown Deadwood.

What kind of casino is Mustang Sally’s?
Think sports bar with gambling, not casino resort with a sports bar tucked into a corner. Sally’s offers several reasons to stop, but its appeal does not depend on spending an entire evening at the machines.
I like this format for groups with mixed interests. Someone can follow the game while another person plays slots, and lunch need not become a separate excursion. The Main Street patio adds an option for visitors who would rather watch downtown activity than a television.
If gambling is the centerpiece of your trip, compare it with the broader options in our guide to South Dakota casinos.
Slots, table games, and poker
Slots and video poker
The property’s entertainment page advertises 30 slot machines. That is a modest selection, better suited to casual play alongside a meal than to exploring a large machine inventory.
I would choose by the game rules and total wager, not simply the denomination printed on the cabinet. A low-denomination machine can still make a sizable dent in your budget when the selected bet uses multiple credits or lines.
If video poker is your priority, ask about the current selection before making a special trip. The advertised slot count does not establish specific video poker titles or pay tables. A guest’s winning or losing session does not tell you a machine’s long-term payout.
Table games and poker room
Mustang Sally’s does not offer traditional live table games such as blackjack, craps, or roulette. It also has no dedicated player-versus-player poker room. Plan a separate casino stop if dealer games or live poker are essential to your day.
Sports betting and watching the game
Mustang Sally’s offers retail sports wagering through two on-property kiosks. Think placing a bet in a sports bar, rather than visiting a large, dedicated sportsbook with a staffed betting counter.
The viewing setup is a bigger part of the appeal: the property lists 23 flat-screen televisions and packages covering NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA, and Big 10 programming. Ask about your particular game before committing to a table. A package listing is not a promise that every event will be available or shown on the nearest screen.
Before confirming a wager, check the team or player, market, odds, stake, and potential return. Keep your ticket, and ask about redemption before leaving town if the bet will settle after your trip. I would avoid waiting until the last moment before kickoff to learn an unfamiliar kiosk.
Hotel and overnight planning
There is no on-site hotel. Mustang Sally’s is a stop to work into a Deadwood stay, not a property where you book a room and have the whole trip under one roof.
For an evening of downtown food, drinks, and sports, I would give a walkable hotel serious consideration. Compare the actual route and total room cost, including parking and transportation, rather than assuming the lowest advertised rate makes the cheapest evening. Winter conditions and a late finish can make an otherwise manageable walk less appealing.
Restaurants, drinks, and dining costs
The restaurant is central to the property, not a consolation prize for hungry gamblers. The published menu includes burgers, wings, fish and chips, chicken strips, wraps, hot dogs, and appetizers. Deluxe burgers include a one-third-pound patty, fries, and lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles on the side.
The bar advertises 12 beers on tap, including local microbrews and international labels, plus wine and spirits. For me, this reads as an uncomplicated lunch or game-day dinner option rather than a special-occasion restaurant.
What to budget for a meal
Gamboool’s comparison of the supplied menu prices makes two useful distinctions: the cheapest meal is not necessarily the same meal, and the best unit price is not necessarily the lowest bill. These are menu calculations, not a firsthand meal test or a measure of food quality.

| Calculation | Result | Takeaway |
|---|---|---|
| Hamburger Deluxe with a standard beverage, before tax and tip | $16.95 | Use this as a burger-and-drink menu subtotal, not an all-in dining budget; tax and tip are excluded. |
| Hot dog with chips and a standard beverage, before tax and tip | $9.95 | The hot-dog option offers a lower menu subtotal than the burger-and-drink option, but includes chips rather than fries. |
| Bacon Cheeseburger Deluxe premium over Cheeseburger Deluxe | $2.00 | Both deluxe burgers include fries, so compare the upgrade price without adding a separate side to either option. |
| Eight-piece wings order: menu cost per wing | $2.12 per wing, rounded to two decimal places | The smaller order costs less overall, but has a higher menu cost per wing than the larger order. |
| Sixteen-piece wings order: menu cost per wing | $1.62 per wing, rounded to two decimal places | The larger order provides better per-wing menu value when your group wants the additional food. |
| Small shake: menu cost per listed ounce | $0.50 per listed ounce, rounded to two decimal places | Choose the small shake for lower total spending, rather than the lowest price per listed ounce. |
| Large shake: menu cost per listed ounce | $0.35 per listed ounce, rounded to two decimal places | The large shake has the lower menu cost per listed ounce, provided you want the larger serving. |
| Kids’ meal with the advertised shake upgrade, before tax and tip | $11.95 | Treat the shake price as an upgrade surcharge to the kids’ meal, not as a separate full-price shake purchase; the menu limits kids’ meals to children age twelve and under. |

Method: Published inputs collected 2026-10-13. Illustrative assumptions are labeled, and the full calculation inputs remain in the saved research record. These examples support planning; they do not predict a particular session.
- Burger and drink: A Hamburger Deluxe with fries and one standard beverage totals $16.95 before tax and tip.
- Lower-cost meal: A quarter-pound hot dog with chips and the same beverage totals $9.95 before tax and tip. That is a different meal, not an identical burger meal at a lower price.
- Burger upgrade: The Bacon Cheeseburger Deluxe costs $2.00 more than the Cheeseburger Deluxe. Both include fries.
- Wings for sharing: The eight-piece order works out to $2.12 per wing, compared with $1.62 per wing for the sixteen-piece order, rounded to two decimal places.
- Shake sizes: The small costs $0.50 per listed ounce, versus $0.35 for the large.
- Kids’ meal with shake upgrade: The subtotal is $11.95 before tax and tip. The menu limits kids’ meals to ages 12 and under; the shake charge is an upgrade, not a separate full-price shake.
The larger wings and shake orders offer better unit prices only if you want the additional food or drink. Buying more to save per piece still means spending more overall. Prices can change, so keep dining money separate from your gambling budget and allow for tax, a tip, and additional drinks.
Entertainment and the patio
Alongside sports viewing, the property lists Golden Tee 2018 and a stuffed-animal claw machine. Those are bar amusements, not a large arcade or resort entertainment complex. The homepage advertises an arcade as coming soon, so I would not build a family itinerary around a completed new arcade.
Outdoor dining is a more meaningful amenity here. Deadwood’s visitor listing describes Main Street patio dining and a family-friendly indoor atmosphere.
Parking, hours, and practical visit information
The public parking ramp is directly behind Mustang Sally’s, and the trolley stops out front. Drivers have a nearby parking option, while hotel guests may be able to avoid driving downtown. Do not assume parking is complimentary; check posted terms and the trolley’s current schedule and fare.
The City of Deadwood’s parking guide identifies Broadway Parking Ramp as pay-by-plate: park first, then pay at one of four kiosks at the garage exits. Listed payment options include credit or debit cards and coins. Have your license plate number handy.
The official homepage publishes a 10:30 a.m. opening daily, with closing at 11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and midnight Friday and Saturday. Those are property hours, not a guarantee of kitchen or wagering service until closing.
- Gambling age: You must be 21 or older to gamble. Bring valid identification.
- Younger diners: Ask about restaurant seating and access rather than assuming the gambling-age restriction excludes families from dining.
- Late meals: Call about kitchen hours before arriving hungry near closing.
- Specific needs: Ask directly about smoking arrangements, step-free access, accessible restrooms, or seating requirements that matter to your visit.
- Getting back: Plan return transportation before drinking, especially if your hotel is not comfortably walkable.
Rewards and promotions
Ask staff whether current player rewards or promotions apply before playing, how play is tracked, and what restrictions apply. I would not budget around an assumed free-play offer, and a promotion is never a good reason to exceed your planned spending.
Guest praise and practical limitations
The available guest commentary is most useful for patio dining, particularly visits with dogs. BringFido’s listing and guest photo comments highlight the downtown outdoor setting and pet hospitality. An August 2019 guest caption describes water brought for a dog, shaded seating, and friendly service; other captions show visitors using the patio as a break while exploring Deadwood.
Two Trip.com guest reviews, dated January and July 2026, describe quick food or service. That is encouraging for a short meal stop, although two diners’ experiences do not establish typical wait times during a busy game or event.
Food reactions are mixed. Visible August 2026 comments on Restaurantji include one diner pleased with a burger lunch and the service, while another calls the food average. This small sample suggests expecting casual pub fare rather than treating the burgers as a guaranteed trip highlight.
These are subjective experiences, not service guarantees. Some patio comments are several years old, and comfort depends on weather and seating availability. The clearest limitations are structural rather than established recurring complaints: a compact slot selection, kiosk-based betting, and no attached hotel. If quiet conversation is your priority, ask about seating rather than expecting a subdued dining room during a major game.
Our take: who should visit?
I think Mustang Sally’s suits downtown visitors who want a burger, a ballgame, and casual gambling without making three separate stops. Available patio comments praise the setting and pet hospitality, while limited dining reports range from pleased to underwhelmed, so expect casual pub fare rather than a destination meal. The parking ramp and trolley access add convenience. Choose a larger casino hotel if extensive gaming and an overnight stay under one roof matter more than Sally’s compact, bar-and-grill format.
