The Seneca Nation in upstate New York has reached an agreement in principle for a new 20-year, Class III gaming compact that will allow the tribe to continue operating its three casino resorts.
The federally recognized tribe’s 2002 gaming compact with the State of New York is set to expire in December. The current compact requires the tribe to direct 25% of the gross revenue generated by its casino slot machines to the state. The tribe fully retains its table game income.
The Seneca Nation owns and operates Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino, Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino, and Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino. The tribe’s compact with the state allows the Native Americans to maintain the exclusive rights to operate casinos with slot machines and table games west of State Route 14. The state highway borders the western edge of Seneca Lake, the largest of the 11 Finger Lakes.
