WIDE LEFT Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 Two day getaway to the Finger Lakes included a stop at the new Del Lago casino. Very impressed with their Sportsbook, from the bar area to the great TVs. Very nice setup, and I am not easily impressed, having lived in Las Vegas for many years. Oh, and I put down $400 on Bills to win the AFC East, at 10-1 odds. Very disappointed, but not surprised at all, that the Indian casinos in WNY have not incorporated sports betting/ Sportsbook in their operations. They are now legally entitled to do so, but so far have chosen not to. Major mistake giving them a monopoly on gaming operations in WNY. The casinos they operate here are poorly run, poorly managed and would be bankrupt but for the monopoly they were granted. Their inaction in the sports betting area just another example of their incompetence and arrogance.
flyingant Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 Nice, but no place to sit to watch the games except for the restaurant area.
Bray Wyatt Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 I thought last time I was at Turning Stone they were constructing a sports betting area 1

The Seneca's have plans to roll it out to their casinos. link Only a few months ago? You must be kidding right? What have they been doing for these few months? It takes almost no time to set up a Sportsbook, and certainly not “a few months”. We have Sportsbooks in Erie Pa, New Jersey, and other parts of New York, that were put in place literally a week within legalization. What in the world are these Indian casinos waiting for? The NFL starts this week, and that’s the big money maker. But you made my point, only an arrogant/incompetent organization would sit on their hands this long and not have a Sportsbook in place by now.
Estelle Getty Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 Let’s not promote sports betting. Any sports bettor knows it is a black hole. If you find me a lifetime winning sports bettor i’ll find you footage of Norwood making that kick. 1

It’s neither ignorant nor insensitive to point out how poorly managed and operated these casinos are. Failure to incorporate sports betting in time for NFL season is just another example of this, especially in light of other casinos in New York State that have managed to accomplish this. But of course there are many politically correct snowflakes out there who will not permit ANY criticism of their preferred protected group, regardless of how valid that criticism may be. Talk about patronizing. The soft racism of lowered expectations. I would criticize any casino operated like these, regardless of who owned them. Should not make a difference, one way or another.

Dablitzkrieg Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 Del Lago sucks. They will be out of business soon
