The Seneca Nation of New York is waiting on two casino-related approvals from the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

The first is a decision on the tribe's casino compact with the state. An answer is due October 22.

The second is a land-into-trust application under review for an off-reservation casino on Niagara Falls. The tribe has already started construction but can't operate until the land and compact are approved.
