Buffalo, NY – Now that the temporary Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino is open for business, some citizens believe it will help jump start a rebirth of downtown Buffalo.
As word spread this week that a temporary casino is now open at the corner of Perry and Michigan in the City's Cobblestone District, plenty of people showed up to test out the slot machines.
Many casino goers we spoke with are optimistic that the casino is a sign of future economic development.
The temporary casino features only 124 slot machines ranging from a .25 slot to a penny. But the Seneca Nation is promising to build a larger, permanent casino that would create one thousand new jobs and more than $100 million in private investment.
