The Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino has started accepting sports bets. The first ever sports bet was made at the venue by Seneca Nation President Rickey Armstrong Sr. on Friday, who placed a $40 bet on the Bills to triumph over the Steelers.
The move comes as a result of sports betting being legalized in New York State earlier this year, paving the way for casinos throughout the state to begin offering betting to patrons. It is now possible to bet on a whole variety of different sports, including baseball, basketball and hockey, however football is expected to be the most popular sport offered. It is not possible to bet on horse racing at the Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino though.
In terms of expected revenue from sports betting , Seneca Gaming’s CEO refused to provide an exact figure. She did state, however, that she believes the three Seneca casinos in Buffalo will generate more from sports betting than many other casinos in the state, thanks to the fact that Buffalo is a “great sports town.“ Whether this prediction is accurate will be revealed when the casino posts its first set of numbers on sports betting.

Seneca Gaming Corp. will soon be adding sports betting to two other casinos in the area, which are located in Salamanca and Niagara Falls. It could be the case that sports betting is offered in Salamanca from next week, while the venue in Niagara Falls could offer betting the week after that.New York Still Waiting for Mobile Betting
While the addition of sports betting is big news for the Seneca Buffalo Creak Casino, New York still has a way to go before it rivals other states in the sports betting stakes. This is because, at the moment, mobile betting is not permitted in the state. Speaking about the industry, Seneca Nation President Rickey Armstrong Sr. said:
“Brick and mortar [betting] is going to be substantial profit, but we’re also waiting for (online betting) to come in, maybe next year through legislation.“
Should mobile betting be introduced in the state of New York, it would surely become one of the states with the biggest sports betting handles.
