The Cayuga Nation has added to its gaming offerings by opening a new Lakeside Entertainment location in Seneca Falls.
The casino opened on Friday, according to Clint Halftown, the Cayuga Nation’s federal representative. It is located at the intersection of Route 89 and Garden Street Extension. Halftown’s leadership council seized the property in 2020 when the Cayuga Nation Police executed a raid and demolished buildings.
A faction that does not recognize Halftown and opposes the nation’s gaming interests had operated the property for six years before its seizure.
Lakeside Entertainment is a Class II gaming facility under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act.
