Kevin Costner was planning a big resort type casino but backed down when he couldn't get the limits up. He was behind the push in the past to get the limits raised. Others in Dakota will know if there is anything pending other than to get more blood from the natives and the tourists. Deadwood is configured in such a way that it will be difficult to build a huge resort casino in the town. But given the fact that the Homestake Gold Mine is shutting down soon (world's biggest at one time) the Lead/Deadwood area desparately needs help.
