In a sense, the governor of the Empire State is helping it live up to its nickname.
The Cuomo administration said this week that it will look into allowing a casino upstate near the Seneca Nation’s casino in downtown Niagara Falls, says a report from The Buffalo News. The reason? The tribe is no longer giving Albany a cut of its gambling winnings.

The development could bode well for online poker, which the state has been eyeing for several years now as a relatively immediate tax revenue source.
The news of the tribe’s plans to halt the payments came earlier this year, and now the state is looking to put pressure on the tribe to continue forking over about $110 million annually. The tribe has paid about $1.5 billion to Albany since 2002. The tribe’s New York casinos are the Seneca Niagara Casino, Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino and Seneca Allegheny Casino.
The Seneca Nation said its compact with the state doesn’t say it needs to continue making the payments past 2016, which led to the most recent showdown with the state.
New York already allowed a commercial casino—the Del Lago Resort and Casino in Seneca County that opened in February—about 100 miles from the tribe’s Buffalo property.
That new casino was one of four Albany and state voters approved for struggling upstate regions, with three having opened their doors so far. The tribe’s compact granted the tribe casino gambling exclusivity in the region, so the threat to give a license for a Las Vegas-style casino right next door to the tribe’s most successful casino in the state would officially mark an end to that exclusivity. However, it would take several years of hurdles before a fifth commercial casino could begin construction, and it’s not clear if Niagara Falls could support another one.
This isn’t the first time the Senecas and state officials have argued over the compact. The tribe and the state had a dispute in 2013 over the new commercial casinos, but that was sorted out in part thanks to Gov. Andrew Cuomo threatening to allow a casino just 20 miles northwest of Buffalo. The state’s tribal gaming industry didn’t attempt to thwart the commercial casino referendum that the administration wanted to pass.
The compact is valid until 2023, but New York contends that it’s out the window if the revenue sharing payments don’t come in. The money goes to local communities.
The NEW and IMPROVED Poker room opened a few weeks ago and it's beautiful, attractively appointed, roomy and comfortable. It's new location reminds me of Las Vegas and if you didn't know better you would think you WERE in one of the Premier Poker rooms in Las Vegas. It has the same feel as The Aria or Wynn. The lighting is excellent, Big Screen TV's throughout convenient Cashier Cage inside the room and the New Food Court is right next door. Easy access from the Parking Structure too.
They have added some new games since the Opening, a $2/3 no limit and the $2/5 they used to run is now a $3/5 no limit. There is a $5/10 no limit running consistently now on Friday nights too!
Table side food service is still a little limited but they are working on that and a specifically tailored menu for the Poker Room soon to be introduced. They do now serve a full array of alcoholic beverages.
Many new dealers added since the expansion and they are great!! Enthusiastic employees are happy to be in a new and improved room and it's carrying over into the mood and attitude of the poker room staff.
Check it out, best poker room between LA and SF!!!!
