Seneca Casino Does Not Disappoint

August 6, 2007

The Seneca poker room in Niagara is well worth the trip should you ever desire to go. One of three, the poker room is huge, and probably a bit understated in its decorations, but still one of the nicest casinos yet. The one in Niagara is the largest of the three, with the other two being in Salamanca, NY and Irving, NY.

The casino is located in what used to be the Niagara Falls Convention Center, and it looks just like a Las Vegas casino now. The poker room has 24 tables, and they use a sturdier card than most casinos do. On any day you can enter the no-limit Hold’em tournament, it runs at 10 am each and every day for those die hards who just have to get a tournament in before they start their day.

Sometimes they offer a stud game as well, but interest is not usually very big for it, so they only offer it if enough people sign up for them. They have a second tournament each day at 7 pm for those that had to earn their gambling money, and on Sunday’s they have a “deep stack” tournament going on. This kind of game everyone starts with 4,000 in chips and every 20 minutes they raise the blinds.

A couple of times a year they offer large tournaments with a buy in of $500 or more. However, they don’t offer them all the time so you should check with management to see what is offered the day you are coming. Most of the people who go to the casino are locals, and most of them play accordingly.
