Pat McMahon’s Found Another Reason to Cool Off At Seneca Gaming Irving
Can you believe the heat waves we've had this summer? You think it's draining when your AC can't keep up with triple-digit highs? Try dealing with a vehicle with no AC!
So far this summer, I've had AC, suspension, and even transmission problems with my car. It's been nickle and diming me to death — so I did a double-take (figuratively speaking) when I learned about Seneca Gaming & Entertainment's Survive the Ride Giveaway on Sept. 19, 2026. One "survivor" will win a new 2026 Ford Bronco free and clear. No repairs needed, just smooth riding down the road.
Entering is easy. You just swipe your Player's Card every time you put money in a slot machine at Seneca Gaming Irving, and they keep track of it for you. They have more than 650 gaming machines, so you'll undoubtedly find several with themes and graphics you like. It's open to anyone 18 or older.
I've been with the guys from work and even on date night with my wife. We had a great time playing the slots, going old school with paper Bingo cards, trying the electronic Bingo tablets, the whole 9 yards. During the summer, the AC is blasting, AND they are open until 4 a.m. Friday and Saturday nights. You can play in total comfort, and you have plenty of opportunities to win more with their promotions:
