"Governor Cuomo is reportedly putting together a proposal that would see a second, non-Indian operate casino open in downtown Niagara Falls. The question is whether the market could sustain another casino.
The state remains locked in an already lengthy contract dispute with the Seneca Nation of Indians.
The Senecas have withheld more than five-hundred-million-dollars in gambling revenue payments, saying the state breached a 2002 agreement by allowing casino-style gambling at racetracks in Hamburg and Batavia.
Niagara Falls is owed upward of 60-million-dollars from the Seneca Niagara Casino Hotel operation, and mayor Paul Dyster says he favors any solution that will result in economic development for the city."
