My brother's birthday and mine are a day apart. For a few years we had the tradition of going to…read moreBingo together for our birthdays. Then the pandemic hit, and our tradition went on a hiatus. Until last weekend! We reignited our annual birthday pilgrimage to Bingo with a trip to Seneca Bingo in Salamanca, which is about an hour and fifteen minute scenic drive down the 219 from the Buffalo area. This is an old stomping ground for us. We grew up in the area, waiting for our mom to finish up Bingo at this very hall. But boy has it changed since circa 1998. Now Seneca Bingo is tech-modernized, to operate like a casino. When you arrive you have to stop at the reception to get a player's club card, even for Bingo. I don't like this formality, as it gives you all sorts of casino free play and bonuses that I am not interested in at all. Nor do I need anyone tracking my Bingo lifestyle, haha. But we did receive a $10 discount on our first Bingo purchase, and $5 for anytime the rest of the month for a birthday perk. Bingo here is expensive, so after the rigmarole of signing up for the player's club card, those discounts were appreciated. The Bingo room is down the hall from the casino room. The casino room allows for smoking (blech), the Bingo hall does not (phew). But you do get some wafting smells, if your nose is sensitive like mine. I'm partial to a light and bright Bingo hall, which is what I remember this one to be. But now it is dimmer casino lighting, with dark carpets and fixtures. Meh', not a fan. But it is spacious with reasonably comfortable seats at big tables with room to spread out. Just outside of the Bingo hall is the concession stand. The concessions were actually pretty great, with 25-cent bottomless coffee and hot tea, and a variety of hot foods and cold grab-and-go's. The grab-and-go case had some good looking salads that were about $7 each. The hot line had made-to-order burgers, hot dogs, and finger foods, most things priced about $4 - $7 a piece. I just had hot tea this time. My brother got a coffee and some potato cheese balls, which were like a round tater tot that was cheesy. They give you a pager and buzz you when your fresh-made food is ready. His potato cheese balls portion was pretty decent, and they were crispy, hot, and tasty. Gotta' love how a casino takes all of your money in the gambling rooms, but gives you a pretty good deal on the snacks! :-D In the Bingo hall there are booths up front to buy your boards. General admission is $52. Yup, you heard right, $52! That includes boards for every game in the session, but no early birds or warm-ups. Warm-ups are $2 each, early birds are $5 each. There are several games in the regular session that are 3-card pages, which you get one of in your general admission. But you can purchase more of those for $2 to $3 each. They also sell electronic Bingo boards. I never play electronic, Bingo is my time to detach from the screen. But I think electronic started at about $70 and up. The majority of the crowd here plays paper, which I found to be a comforting throw-back to simpler times. ;-) So yeah, general admission and buying extra boards adds up quick here! BUT ... the payouts here for regular games are MUCH HIGER than any local Bingo or Canadian Bingo. Most regular games are a $1000 payout! Regular games! Big money here for the Bonanza game is usually over $10K, it was over $13K when we played. The regular jackpot game is minimum $1200, with higher payouts starting at $3000 if you win in less numbers. Even the progressives and pot splits were several hundred dollars. So you pay to play, but you are walking away with well over your break-even if you win any regular game. So the big question ... did I win?? ... Drum roll please ... Brrrrrrrrrrrr ... NOPE! Haha, it was not my lucky day. But my brother won the very first early bird game of the session. Early birds pay out a split based on early bird sales, and he won $80. So he broke even, plus a bit! Until he blew it all in the casino room after the game, ha! I would have walked with my $20 surplus, but that's my bro, ha! We played in the casino room for maybe fifteen minutes, which was plenty of time for me to use my $15 free play and call it quits, and my brother to blow through his $15 free play and the rest of his Bingo winnings. Probably best to avoid this room altogether if you come for Bingo. ;-) Overall, my brother and I had a fun time at Seneca Bingo. The hall was comfortable enough, the games are actually fun (lots of unusual shapes like "bench", "callers chair", "star diamond", etc.), the concession was priced right and pretty good, and if you are lucky enough to win, the regular games pay out BIG. When we feel like dropping $50+ a piece to play Bingo again, we'll be back, hopefully even luckier next time! :-D

We decided to try and do something different and attempted to try and go to bingo. There is a very…read morepopular bingo here on Tuesday evenings. Doors open at 6pm and the first ball is pulled at 7:30. We didn't think it was that serious and came about 6:45 to be safe. The parking lot was packed and there was only seating in an enclosed smoking section. Needless to say we did not stay. We might try again another day. If we do I'll write an updated review of the experience. If you want to come and sit in the non smoking section I'd say you need to be here by 6:15. Beer and wine are also served here which is cool.

The star of the plate would have to be the lazy pierogi, loaded with mushrooms & butter. The half fish is $18 and full is $22. Our bill came to $52 for 2 whole fish fries & four beers. The dining area could use a little more character but it's clean and the waitresses were attentive.

Another negative is the attitude of the casino attendant that stopped us from walking through with my 20 yo daughter. She had here carry a yellow card and stay on the red carpet. ( I understand this being under 21) but just her attitude of incredulousness that we were trying to pull one over on us. She should be fired! Not a good look for Seneca Niagra.

He was openly mocking people as they left and yelling at guests simply for arriving a minute or two late. It was incredibly uncomfortable and honestly embarrassing to witness. For an establishment like the casino, I would expect a much higher level of professionalism and respect toward guests. There is absolutely no reason to treat people that way, especially those who are simply trying to enjoy a night out. Do better. Life is already hard enough without someone going out of their way to make others feel small. A little kindness and basic human decency go a long way.

The main reason was to just check out park, neat mini golf and get pizza. Yes, I get they were not even quite open an hour when I arrived a little after noon. My reasoning for the 4 star review, no menu or anything listed on pricing for what was sold, or in my case if it was cheese or pepperoni. The young employee, when asked regarding Do you sell pizza, yes, cheese, pepperoni and I asked how much he said $5. A menu of items offered with pricing, would have been helpful.

I had never been here before in in spite of frequenting the Chautauqua area, my whole life. But, I finally had an occasion because my tiny niece was the perfect age for this place. There were a ton of rides that were perfect for her as a three year-old. Also, they had rides that were good for ages 4 to 6 as well. She really enjoyed the little roller coaster. Watch out that it is actually a little rough for the adults to ride on because it does jerk a little. Also, there were some really cute little boat rides, including one that took took the children around in a circle. There was very little that she was too small to ride on, so it was completely fantastic. Also, we were able to get her a wristband that gave her all inclusive access to rides. For a few rides that do require adult accompaniment for littles, the adult gets to ride free. There's a food spot towards the bottom of the hill and I highly recommend it. I was able to get platters of fries and corn, dogs and pizza, for not too much money. This is a clutch when it came to reducing the chance of overstimulated little kid meltdowns. Also, it was very sunny, and there was very little shade, so bring the sunscreen. Also, they have free boat parking. So, boating over and walking in is a great option if you happen to have or be renting a boat.
