NIAGARA FALLS, NEW YORK-SALAMANCA, NEW YORK-BUFFALO, NEW YORK (August 12, 2025): With training camp in full swing and the regular season just a few weeks away, the three Seneca Resorts & Casinos properties have a thrilling new way for fans to get in on the action and excitement of pro football.
Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino, Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino and Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino are presenting Seneca Survivor, New York’s first ever officially sanctioned pro football survivor pool. The action starts with Week 1 of the regular season, beginning September 4, and runs all the way through the completion of the regular season schedule on January 4, 2026. For a $50 cash entry fee, players can choose one pro football team to win each week and take their shot of successfully making it through the season picking a different winning team each week. The final player left standing will walk away with 100% of all entry fees, or a guaranteed minimum $5,000 in cash!
Registration is now open at all Seneca Sports Lounge locations. Players must be at least 21 years old to participate.
“Our Seneca Sports Lounges are always exploding with energy and excitement throughout football season, and we are taking that excitement to a new level with the Seneca Survivor pool,” said Seneca Gaming Corporation President & CEO Kevin Nephew. “Seneca Survivor is an unmatched experience. This is a first of its kind opportunity to lock in on all of the action from across the league every week and, for one lucky player, a chance to ride their prognosticating skills all the way to a big cash prize. There’s nothing like it.”
To participate, players must register in person at any of the three Seneca Sports Lounge locations prior to kickoff on Thursday, September 4. All picks throughout the season must be submitted in-person during regular Sports Lounge hours at the same Seneca Sports Lounge location where the player is registered. Players can have a limit of five active entries at any given time. Entry fees are $50 cash per entry. If players stumble out of the box, they can re-buy losing Week 1 entries prior to Week 2 for an additional $50 cash re-buy fee. Each team can only be selected once per season per entry throughout the duration of the pool. Selection changes are not allowed after submission.

- 10 a.m. Wednesday – 8 p.m. Thursday for Thursday games
