The three Indian Casino you talk about are Royal River, Flandreau (Far east, almost into Minnesota), Dakota Sioux, Watertown (Just off I 29, still far east, and Ft. Randall, Beckstown (A little further west but still eastern). There certainly is nothing exciting about these Casinos, enough to drive all the way across the state for (and SD is a WIDE state!). Deadwood is kind of fun in it's own way. THe places are small, not very crowded. There are not a lot of frills, ect. The $5 maximum betting limit and low surrounding population makes it hard for these casinos to make lots of money. Kind of like Colorado, but not as busy and no "big" places. I have chips from many of the places if anyone is wanting to trade.
