The state and Seneca representatives have been at an impasse since the tribe earlier this year said it was halting payment of USD 110M a year to the state, which shares proceeds with localities in 16 Western New York counties
“If they don’t fulfill their obligations to continue payments and to honor the compact, we are going to pursue putting an additional casino in Niagara Falls,’’ said a Cuomo official in a report quoted by the Buffalo News website.
The state's compact with the Senecas, and a follow-up memo agreed to in 2013, gave that Indian nation exclusive rights to operate Las Vegas-style casinos in a 16-county region of western New York. The Senecas have opened casinos in Niagara Falls, Buffalo and Salamanca.
