Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel will celebrate its 10th anniversary this May by doing what it does best: offer plenty of excitement and rewards to its guests. Numerous promotions throughout the month include hot seat drawings with $40,000 in cash and Free Slot Play, a sweepstakes with free gas for a year, an opportunity to redeem reward points for a special 10th anniversary watch, and a “Sons of Anarchy” themed weekend with a motorcycle giveaway among the prizes.

Every Monday in May, guests can participate in the $40,000 10th Anniversary Hot Seat every hour from 10 a.m. through 7 p.m., just by inserting a free Seneca Player’s Club card into their favorite slot machines. At each drawing, one winner will receive $500 Free Slot Play and $500 cash.

South Buffalo’s Dog Ears Bookstore & Café recently announced winners of a poetry contest for students at Notre Dame Academy. The event was sponsored by Clare Shea Hourihan of RealtyUSA, with winners receiving a $25 gift certificate to the neighborhood bookstore.

Contest winners include Noah White, Julia Acosta, Sophie Robinson and Samantha Palya. 

NIAGARA FALLS, SALAMANCA and BUFFALO, N.Y. – Two great offerings – Seneca Casinos and fantasy sports – are now one for the 2013 football season. Every day from September 2 through December 29, guests can head to each of the three Seneca Casino locations in Western New York to play fantasy football for free and win a share of cash and prizes in the $175,000 All-Star Fantasy Football Challenge.

Playing is simple, quick and fun. At all three Seneca Casinos, interactive kiosks will be available in the lobbies and other select areas on property. Using a free Seneca Player’s Club card, guests can play every day at each property starting on Mondays at noon through Sundays at 11 a.m. for the Sunday and Monday football games the following week.
