Casino
Not Earning as Much as Expected
The
Niagara Seneca Casino and Hotel was
expected to have a huge economic impact
on the area where it is located, but it
has not done as well or as much business
as the experts had predicted. They were
expected to bring in more money than
they have, and many thought that they
would bring in more business to the
locals as well. These things are just
not happening the way they thought they
would.
Casino officials say that although they
may not be bringing in the amount of
money that many thought they would, they
did bring in thousands of jobs and work
hard towards their participation in
charities. Their latest brings in money
to support the troops in Afghanistan,
and they say that this is just one of
many that they have currently in the
works.
However, residents and city leaders
thought that there would be much more
growth for the community, and it just
hasn’t happened. They also think that
the casino keeps too much of the
proceeds for itself, instead of passing
over more of the slot machine revenue to
the town.
Now with Wheeling Island Racetrack and
Mountaineer Race Track asking for table
games to be added to their slot
machines, many think that they are just
getting greedy. They think that they
will need to give up much more of the
proceeds if they want residents to
approve them.
The tracks are promising millions of
dollars in investment as well as
hundreds of new jobs, but residents are
skeptical as to what it will really mean
for them. They say that the little man
is actually being penalized because the
casinos are there. They say that the
amount of options that the casinos give
as far as shopping and eating keeps
their customers from patronizing the
other places in the city. Residents feel
like they should have to give them more
if they want their approval.
