Casinos cutting blackjack minimum bets, luring new gamblers

The minimum blackjack table at the Seneca Niagara Casino in Niagara Falls used to be $10 -- but is now $5. That's 24 hours a day, and seven days a week.
 


 
The times are good for gamblers, for it may not be any easier to win, but the price of playing has dropped dramatically.
 
“We at Seneca Gaming Corporation, similar to other companies in Western New York, have noticed a change in consumer discretionary spending,” said Jillian Fiorella, spokeswoman for the corporation.

Eager to keep its customers gambling, Seneca Gaming has responded with a “Best Bets” campaign promoting its 97 percent payback slot machines and $5 minimum bet blackjack tables.

Other casinos are making similar moves. They are seeing good results. Operators of both Buffalo Raceway and Batavia Downs say their casinos did better in 2008 than in 2007. They partly attribute success to the increase in gasoline prices that discouraged customers from traveling long distances to gamble.

“We found our niche in Genesee County,” Nevins said of Batavia Downs. “We find people in Genesee, Orleans and the western side of Monroe County like it here instead of driving to Turning Stone [near Oneida] or Niagara Falls.”
