Seneca Sports Betting
The Seneca Niagara sports betting lounge, located near the casino’s Thunder Falls Buffet restaurant, has been in the planning process for more than 18 months, once it became apparent New York. — Western New Yorkers have been waiting since sports betting was legalized months ago to see when they'll be able to put down bets here. Well, the wait is now over at Seneca. Sports betting lounges will also be opening soon at the Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino in Niagara Falls and Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino in Salamanca. For now, only those three on-site locations will handle Seneca-backed sports betting, Buffalo Business First reports. LEV2L Sports Bar & Entertainment at Casino Niagara is now home to our multi-sports wagering! So whether it’s the regular season or the play-offs, you'll be front and centre no matter what game gets your heart pumping.
The Buffalo Bills won't be making an appearance, but with an estimated 100 million television viewers, Sunday is one of THE days to bet on sports.
There was a time when sports betting involved the guy sitting in the back booth of a neighborhood bar or some cubicle in an office. Now it’s online or in giant bettor parlors with massive screens featuring sporting events. An increasingly legal system of sports betting exists for those who want to put cash down on the outcome of a game or of some aspect of the game.
Seneca Gaming Corporation has sports betting lounges in each of its three casinos and Gavin Mercado is its executive director of sports book and interactive gaming. He said betting brings in customers.
'Buffalo Creek is in close proximity to the First Niagara Arena. We saw last year, a lot of the guys and girls that were going to the game were stopping in the sports bar before, stopping back after to collect their winnings or placing another wager in a game coming up next,' Mercado said. 'I think just in our general area, we see a lot of foot traffic.'
Mercado said Buffalo Bills fans were supporting the team with their bets. He said customers will bet on any sport and any activity taking place in a game, from rugby to tennis to a surprisingly strong interest in the NBA.
There will be 300 ways to bet on the Super Bowl.
'Is this like betting on the 8th Pole? Not really, because we still don’t know what’s going to happen, right? It depends on when you get the line, where you get it at,' Mercado said. 'Some people actually prefer to come in after the kickoff, watch maybe the first quarter, watch the first half, and then place a wager because they feel like they know exactly what’s going to happen at the end.'
