If casino operators in Deadwood could conjure the ideal target audience for their sports betting operations, Lance Chapdelaine and his buddies from Colorado would be the proverbial jackpot.

The 25-year-old banker and several pals made the Tin Lizzie Gaming Resort their home base on a weekend in early March, driving five hours from Haxtun, Colorado, for a bachelor party in the Black Hills. They stayed in the hotel, ate and drank on property and placed bets on sporting events during their multi-day stay.

“There’s nothing better than drinking a couple beers with your friends while watching college basketball, and betting makes it more intense and fun to watch the games,” Chapdelaine said.
