The Senecas in July 2007 opened a temporary casino in downtown Buffalo with 135 Class II electronic bingo machines and a snack bar. Later, the tribe began constructing a 90,000-square-foot casino and 22-story hotel it planned to open in spring 2010. The new facility was to feature 2,000 electronic bingo machines, 45 gaming tables, 22 guest suites, four restaurants and a full-service spa. Plans for the 9-acre property also called for a 3-acre public park and a 2,500-space parking facility. The tribe said more than 1,000 employees would earn about $38 million annually once the property was fully operational.

The publicly owned Fallsview Casino Resort, 22 miles north of downtown Buffalo overlooking Niagara Falls, opened in June 2004. The government intended the smaller Casino Niagara, less than two miles away, as a temporary facility when it opened in 1996 but later decided to operate both properties. The 200,000-square-foot Fallsview casino contains more than 3,000 slot machines, 100 gaming tables and a 16-table poker room. A 368-room hotel includes a full-service spa and fitness center. Fallsview features 19 upscale, casual and fast-food restaurants as well as four bars and lounges. Both properties are non-smoking facilities according to provincial law.
