The case is at the Second Circuit after a federal judge ruled last year that federal tribal land laws, not local ordinances, govern gaming at a Cayuga Nation casino.
MANHATTAN (CN) In what appeared to be a losing battle, a village in the Finger Lakes region of New York mounted their case Tuesday to restrict gambling at a reservation casino run by Cayuga Nation members.
The village of Union Springs argued that it should be able to enforce a 1958 ordinance restricting games of chance although the village does allow the occasional charity bingo game, like in the case of fire department fundraisers.
Increased competition from full-scale casinos in New York state has not put a dent in the demand for smaller-scale electronic gaming offered at the Cayuga Nation s Lakeside Entertainment business in Union Springs.
In fact, federal representative Clint Halftown said, attendance at Lakeside has been so strong that the nation is now looking to build a second, much-larger center behind the current building.
The Cayuga Nation has submitted plans to the village of Union Springs for a new Class II gaming center to operate adjacent to the current site at 271 Cayuga St. Full-scale casinos such as those operated by the Oneida Nation are considered Class III gaming under the federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act.

Just days before a grand jury assembles in Seneca County to start collecting testimonies that can eventually lead to criminal charges, a FingerLakes1.com investigation has revealed that the Cayuga Nation of New York has never received any federal funding through law enforcement or tribal court public law contracts, according to the U.S. Department of Interior’s Bureau of Indian Affairs.
After the initial Freedom of Information Act requests were filed through the federal agency in early February, Rebecca Smith, a tribal relations specialist at the Eastern Regional Office, explained that their office had “no records” for either request, resulting in two denial letters that were dated from Feb. 24, 2021.
