THANKSGIVING COMES EARLY FOR NORTH TONAWANDA RESIDENT
Niagara Falls, NY, November 2004 - Thanksgiving came a few days early for Marilyn Bialo; or maybe it was a birthday present a few days late. Either way, Bialo won $228,226 when she hit the Wheel of Fortune® MegaJackpotT at Seneca Niagara Casino on Sunday, November 21. The 52-year-old North Tonawanda resident, whose birthday was earlier in the week, went to the Casino on a whim with her husband.
Bialo already has plans for her winnings - she is using it to help establish a bed and breakfast on property she owns.
Just nine days ago, a Jamestown resident won $205,111 on Wheel of Fortune® at the Casino's sister facility in Salamanca, Seneca Allegany Casino. The Casinos belong to a 15-state Native American progressive gaming network that includes more than 150 casinos nationwide. The network is made up of casinos that carry one or more International Gaming Technology progressive gaming systems.
Wheel of Fortune® has a starting jackpot of $200,000 and features the famous spinning wheel from the popular television game show. To win the MegaJackpotT, a player bets three quarters at a time while attempting to line up the Wheel of Fortune® reel symbols on the machine's payline. Each time a coin is played in a linked machine, the jackpot accumulates until a lucky winner hits the top jackpot award.
Seneca Niagara Casino is New York State's first full-service casino featuring reel-spinning and video slot machines. Just a few blocks from world-famous Niagara Falls, the Casino is located at 310 Fourth Street. The 112,590 square feet gaming floor houses more than 3,200 slot machines and 97 table games. A separate smoke-free casino, Turtle Island, is also available to patrons along with the Poker Room and the high-stakes Blue Heron Room.
In addition to gaming, Seneca Niagara Casino offers several restaurants including Thunder Falls Buffet, Morrie's Place and The Western Door: A Seneca Steakhouse. The Bear's Den Showroom, a 443-seat showroom-style theater and Club 101, a unique music venue located in the heart of the gaming floor, provide live entertainment. Free parking is available to patrons through complimentary valet services, self-parking areas and a four-story garage with covered walkway. The Casino is owned and operated by The Seneca Nation of Indians.
