Judge Says Casino Can Stay Open

The Seneca Nation has won another legal battle.

US District Judge William Skretny has denied a motion to close the Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino, citing a new National Indian Gaming Commission ordinance that now authorizes gaming on the site.

Citizens Against Casino Gambling in Erie County had argued a previous gaming ordinance approved in July, 2007, was illegal.

The Senecas have operated a temporary casino off Michigan Avenue since July 2007. Last year, they started building a larger facility that they planned to open next year. But in August, they stopped construction because of economic difficulties. They haven't said when construction will resume.
