New York Casino Directory

Indian Casinos (Class III)

There are five Indian casinos located in upstate New York which offer traditional Class III casino gambling.

The terms of the compact between the tribes and the state allow table games and slot machines, including video keno and video poker. These machines do not pay out in cash. Instead, they print out a receipt which must be exchanged for cash. All casinos also offer a cashless system whereby you have to go to a cashier cage, or a kiosk, get a"smart" card and deposit money to that card's account. The machines will then deduct losses from, or credit wins to, your account.

All of these casinos are open 24 hours and offer the following games: blackjack, craps, roulette and Caribbean stud poker. Some casinos also offer: Spanish 21 (S21), baccarat (B), mini-baccarat (MB), big six wheel (B6), keno (K), poker (P), pai gow poker (PGP), let it ride (LIR), and three-card poker (TCP).

The minimum gambling age is 21 at the three Seneca casinos and 18 at the other two casinos.

Indian Casinos (Class II)

There are five Indian casinos that offer Class II gambling which consist of electronic gaming machines which look like slot machines, but are actually games of bingo and the spinning video reels are for"entertainment purposes only." No public information is available concerning the payback percentages on the video gaming machines. Some of these casinos also offer high-stakes bingo and poker.

Pari-mutuels

In October 2001, legislation was passed to allow for the introduction of slot machine-type video lottery machines at New York racetracks. Officially referred to as Video Gaming Machines (VGM's), they are regulated by the New York State Lottery Division.

All VGM's offer standard slot machine-type games, plus keno in denominations from five cents to $10. The machines all accept cash but do not pay out in cash. They print a receipt which must be taken to a cashier.

The VGM's do not operate like regular slot machines. Instead, they are similar to scratch-off-type lottery tickets with a pre-determined number of winners.

According to a spokesperson at the Lottery's headquarters,"no public information is available concerning the actual payback percentages on the machines." However, the legislation authorizing the VGM's states,"the specifications for video lottery gaming shall be designed in such a manner as to pay prizes that average no less than ninety percent of sales."

As of July 2007 all New York tracks offered VGM's, except for Aqueduct, which was expected to have them in operation by late 2008.

All Video Gaming Machine facilities are open from 10am to 2am daily and all do not allow smoking. The minimum gambling age is 18 for playing VGM's, as well as for betting on horse and harness racing.
