  Video Lottery Terminals and Electronic Table Games: Similar in appearance to classic slot machines or as simulated classic table games, these terminals are linked to a centralized system maintained by the Gaming Commission that tracks the game play and earnings for each game.
  

  • Video Lottery Terminals (VLTs) have the same appearance as slot machines. VLTs must receive winning outcomes transmitted by the central system.

  • Electronic Table Games (ETGs) offer video versions of popular casino games like roulette, craps, and baccarat. ETGs are capable of generating winning outcomes at each table.

  Video lottery gaming operations began in 2004 at Saratoga Gaming & Raceway in Saratoga Springs and have since expanded to eight additional facilities. As of January 1, 2013, there were 17,213 such machines operating in New York State.

  Indian Gaming: In 1988 Congress passed the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act permitting federally recognized Indian tribes the ability to conduct gaming activities under certain circumstances. This law allows traditional Indian gaming, bingo, pull tabs, lotto, punch boards, tip jars, and certain card games on tribal land. However, it requires a Tribal/State compact for all other forms of gaming. Three tribes have lawful gaming in New York State:
  

  • The Seneca Nation of Indians operate the Class III Seneca Niagara Casino in Niagara Falls, the Class III Seneca Allegany Casino, the Class III Seneca Buffalo Casino in Buffalo, and Class II bingo on both their Cattaraugus and Allegany Reservation lands

  • The St. Regis Mohawks operate the Class II Mohawk Bingo Palace and the Class III Akwesasne Mohawk Casino, which also houses Class II poker games

  • The Oneida Indian Nation of New York operates the Turning Stone Casino, which houses both Class II bingo and poker, as well as its Class III gaming operations.

  The Gaming Commission maintains a constant twenty-four hour presence within the gaming facilities of the five Class III facilities to maintain the integrity of all activities conducted in regard to Class III gaming, and to insure the fair and honest operation of such gaming activities. Additionally, the State conducts background investigations on all employees of the casino and enterprises who conduct gaming related business with the casino to ensure their suitability. Pursuant to each Compact the State jointly regulates Class III gaming facilities with a Nation or Tribal Gaming Agency, respectively. Class II gaming activities, e.g., bingo, pull tabs, lotto, punch boards, tip jars, and certain card games, are regulated by the Tribe in conjunction with the National Indian Gaming Commission, although tribes, under certain circumstances, may self-regulate these activities.

Today, the Nation’s casino operations employ more than 4,000 workers, making Seneca Gaming Corporation one of the largest private employers in Western New York. In a 2 to 1 vote, a three-person arbitration panel ruled that the Seneca Nation must continue to share gaming revenues with the state of New York. BUFFALO, NY - The Seneca Nation of Indians owes New York state hundreds of millions of dollars in back casino revenue payments, a federal court ruled today.

November 11, 2020 – Seneca Nation President Matthew Pagels, who was sworn into office yesterday, officially announced the development of the Seneca Nation’s newest Seneca One Stop operation on Seneca Territory located in downtown Buffalo.

The project will include a gas station and convenience store, offering a typical selection of convenience products for motorists, visitors to the Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino, and those living and working in the area. In addition, the new Seneca One Stop will create approximately 14 new employment opportunities in the area.

The new Seneca One Stop is currently under construction on the Seneca Nation’s Buffalo Creek Territory, located at the corner of Michigan Ave. and Perry Street, across from the Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino. The parcel was recognized as Seneca Territory pursuant to the Seneca Settlement Act of 1990, the purpose of which was to provide economic self-sufficiency to the Seneca Nation and its members.

“Expanding of our revenue-generating opportunities on our territories is our responsibility to the Seneca people and our future generations,” President Pagels said. “Like every government and organization, we have felt the economic pressures brought on by the global pandemic. We need to move forward with the strategic growth opportunities that can help us expand our economy, while also providing additional investment on our territories, services to our customers and neighbors, and employment opportunities at our establishments.”

Seneca Nation News

The Nation has extensive experience owning and successfully operating energy stations through its Seneca One Stop enterprises. The One Stop brand has been a proud part of the Nation’s economy for more than thirty years, beginning with the first travel plaza on the Allegany Territory in 1986, followed shortly by operations on the Cattaraugus Territory in 1988, the Oil Spring Territory in 1991, and the Niagara Falls Territory in 2016. This latest addition to the One Stop family will undoubtedly carry forward the business’s sterling reputation in the industry for quality products and service.

“Our investments in our Buffalo Creek Territory, starting in 2005, helped provide some of the early momentum for the exciting transformation of the Inner Harbor area of downtown Buffalo,” President Pagels added. “This latest investment by the Seneca Nation adds to that momentum and to the variety of amenities and conveniences available in the area.”

The management of the Seneca Buffalo Creek One Stop will announce plans to staff the new facility in the near future. It is expected to open in early 2021.
