About Silverado-Franklin

The Silverado-Franklin Hotel & Gaming Complex offers more than 360 different slot machines, Deadwood��s largest table games area (Caribbean Stud, 4-Card Poker, Let It Ride, and 3-Card Poker all with a $1,000 betting limit), and a poker room. In addition, there is great food and drink options at Legends Steakhouse, Silverado Grand Buffet, and the Veranda, which offers unique views of historic Mount Moriah Cemetery, White Rocks, and the town of Deadwood.

When Deadwood legalized gaming in 1989, the Franklin didn't get a major retrofit until the owners of the neighboring Silverado Gaming Establishment purchased the hotel and embarked on an ambitious remodeling project in 2005 that opened up the main ballroom, added a premier casino, and enhanced the overall experience for guests.

The renovated first floor reopened in June 2007, sporting a refinished tin ceiling, restored woodwork, and fluted columns that match early photographs of the hotel lobby. Elaborate chandeliers, colored glass, and gilded fixtures accent the entire level. A restoration project was recently completed that restored the original parapet and flag pole, built from matching cast stone, brick, and fiberglass.

Deadwood is known for many things but for poker players, it's perhaps best known for aces and eights, otherwise known as the Deadman��s Hand. In 1876, Wild Bill Hickok held that hand in a game of poker at a saloon just a few blocks from the present-day Silverado when he was shot by Jack McCall.

Another exciting chapter for poker in Deadwood is about to be written, and PokerNews will be right here documenting every step of the way, so stay tuned!
