- On May 4, 2007 we went to Seneca Casino in Niagara Falls, New York. Although the security guard said that it was okay to park your RV in the back parking lot near the back fence, I wouldn't trust it. There was not enough room and it didn't look too safe to me.

Seneca Nation of Indians saw the official greenlighting of sports betting at its Niagara Falls location. Seneca Niagara Resort and Casino welcomed sports wagering enthusiasts for the very first time and gave them the well-rounded experience they have been looking for. This means that all three of its tribal locations are now equipped with an operational sports betting lounge.
The tribal casino operator was ready to make things work for its casino patrons eager to place bets on sports events in a legal manner. The premium sports betting lounges Seneca Gaming Corporation had been working on over the past few months are now open for business and welcoming individuals on a daily basis. Seneca Niagara Resort and Casino was the last tribal venue to welcome wagering on sports events.
Legal Sports Betting Launched
Seneca Nation of Indians wanted to see its mission accomplished by the end of 2019. This meant that locations to the likes of Buffalo and Salamanca were in for a treat, as they were able to draw sports wagering to their region. The last days of 2019 saw the ribbon-cutting ceremony held at Seneca Niagara Casino. Around 11 a.m. on December 27, players had the opportunity to learn more about the zone.
It should be taken into account that the special zone in question is a temporary one and local enthusiasts will have the chance to experience sports wagering in an entirely new way soon. The year 2020 is expected to bring a permanent sports wagering lounge on the premises of the casino venue. Rickey Armstrong Senior, President of the Seneca Nation of Indians placed the first bet.
During the launching ceremony, he had the chance to become the pioneer of sports wagering and set the tone for a successful 2020 operation, better gaming revenue, as well as improved offerings. He recently made it clear that the tribal nation is listening to its patrons and members of the community.
Class III Casino Venue
Mr. Armstrong stated that locals have been seeking legal sports wagering for quite a while. This is why casino locations aim to deliver and meet their expectations. Surveys taken place earlier in 2019 brought back results that legal sports betting should be greenlighted in the foreseeable future. Gavin Mercado, Executive Director of Sports Books and Gaming, spoke about the link between fervent sports fans and wagers placed, as this adds a new layer to the experience.
Seneca Casino President and CEO Holly Gagnon was also present at the special ceremony with some crucial information on the remaining two gaming locations overseen by the tribe. She said that Seneca Allegany Resort and Casino and Buffalo Creek Casino have already met and exceeded the expectations issued ahead of their sports wagering launch. As CanadianCasinos reported, December 13 saw the official launch of sports betting at the Buffalo gaming hotspot.
The Class III location greenlighted its permanent sports betting zone, remaining on track with the expansion. Seneca Allegany Resort and Casino was the second casino location to offer in-person betting on sports events. Locals and people hailing from neighboring communities will have the opportunity to enjoy live events featuring their favorite teams to the likes of the Buffalo Bills, Sabres, and Bandits.

Expansion[edit]
In February 2008, the Seneca Gaming Corp. announced the expansion of the Seneca Niagara Casino & Hotel Property. It will add more hotel rooms, and other amenities.[citation needed] It acquired Fallsville Splash Park, located next to the Seneca Niagara Casino, which was condemned by the State of New York and transferred to the Seneca Gaming Corporation. It was demolished for Phase 2 of expansion of the Niagara Falls casino.
Legal Issues[edit]
Adjacent properties owned by Seneca Gaming Corp.[edit]
Adjacent properties owned by the Seneca Gaming Corporation are not located on Seneca territory owned by the Nation, therefore it is technically illegal to put slot machines or provide for gambling. The Splash Park Property where Phase 2 of expansion is to take place is also located on non-sovereign land.
The former Convention Center is located on sovereign land, and the casino is operated by Gaming Corporation.
Taxing of non-sovereign adjacent properties owned by the Gaming Corporation[edit]
Use of the surrounding area adjacent to the Seneca Niagara Casino by the Seneca Nation for gaming has been the subject of a class-action lawsuit filed by attorney John Bartolomei in October 2010 on behalf of Fallsite LLC and residents who are angry over a 4% tax hike to be passed in 2011. The Seneca Niagara Casino is located on sovereign land owned by the Seneca Nation of Indians.
But, the land adjacent to the casino, including parking garages adjacent to Niagara St., the site of a former Pizza Hut on the corner of Niagara St. and John B. Daly Blvd., the Holiday Inn property on the corner of 3rd Street and Duggar Drive, the former Niagara Aerospace Museum in between 3rd and 4th Streets and Niagara Street and Wendel Way, the former E. Dent Lackey Plaza (now a parking lot) in between Wendel Way, Duggar Drive, 3rd Street and 4th Street, former private homes on 5th and 6th Streets, and the Splash Park Property on the corner of Falls Street and John B. Daly Blvd, are owned by the Seneca Gaming Corporation. The Seneca Gaming Corporation is non-sovereign and therefore taxable, but was left off the city tax rolls. If taxed, the corporation would be the largest payer of taxes in the City of Niagara Falls.[citation needed]
Other properties[edit]
The Seneca Nation operates other gaming casinos on its property in New York state:
- Seneca Allegany Casino - This facility in Salamanca, New York, on the Allegany Indian Reservation, features a casino, spa, six restaurants and a new hotel completed in 2007.
- Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino - Seneca Nation's newest casino is located in downtown Buffalo, New York.
