Hau Koda–hello friend, and welcome to Fort Thompson, home of Lode Star Casino! Our town may be small, but big things are happening. Nestled right next to the Missouri River, our lands are home to some of the best hunting and fishing in central South Dakota, colorful bluffs, wildlife and historic waterways once explored by Lewis and Clark.
Whether you’re looking for a weekend getaway or just passing through, you’ll find hours worth of entertainment at Lode Star. Our casino floor features over 200 of some of the loosest slots for miles around, which means BIG WINS! Our blackjack and poker tables are always happening Thursday through Sunday, whether you’re looking to play for the thrill or shooting for BIG MONEY. Our entertainment venue also hosts some of the most unique acts and events in the region. But don’t stop there. Make a night of it, and enjoy a stay in our clean, comfortable motel rooms and dine in our restaurant and lounge.
