Seneca Nation cites rise in casino revenue, contradicting report

Tuesday, March 5, 2013  

Tribal casino revenue in New York fell nearly 3 percent in 2011, according to Casino City’s Indian Gaming Industry Report, but the Seneca Nation is contradicting the numbers.

The tribe doesn't publicly disclose its casino financials. But the Seneca Gaming Corporation said it earned more than the $921 million figure that was presented in the report.

“Seneca Gaming Corporation does not publish its financial results and our actual results are tangibly different from this unsubstantiated report. The reality is that the Corporation solidly grew revenues in 2011 verses 2010," the corporation told The Niagara Falls Reporter.

The Indian Gaming Industry Report said the decline in New York was the largest percentage drop of any state.
