FOR THE LOVE OF HAM, BRONX RESIDENT WINS AT CARIBBEAN STUD POKER
NIAGARA FALLS, NY, March 2005 - Bronx resident Eduardo Ortiz came to Buffalo on March 23 to relax at Seneca Niagara Casino in Niagara Falls, NY and to pick up a Casino promotional ham. While playing Caribbean Stud Poker, he won $13,454.51, part of the progressive jackpot.
Ortiz, 28, is a member of the Casino's Seneca Players Club. He plans to use his winnings to help pay for his upcoming wedding in September.
