Reality Show Junkie Dave Fields Is Tuned Into Seneca Gaming Irving’s Survive the Ride Giveaway

I have always wanted to be on a reality show like Big Brother or Survivor, but there is no way  I could be gone on an island or in a house for 3 months.

Now I don’t have to, thanks to Seneca Gaming & Entertainment's Survive the Ride Giveaway. You don't have to worry about hunting down idols or completing intricate puzzles. Instead, you just play your favorite gaming machines at Seneca Gaming Irving, and you'll earn entries for playing with your Player's Card. You have between now and Sept. 19 to collect entries. Obviously, the more entries, the better your chances — but will your best be enough?

On Sept. 19, they'll draw free play winners, cash winners, and finalists every 30 minutes between 5:30 and 10:15 p.m. Who will win the new 2026 Ford Bronco? Who will come to the finale only to be sent home empty-handed?

The Survive the Ride Giveaway gives me that same rush of watching Survivor or Big Brother, all right here in Western New York. That anticipation is just a short drive down to Irving. Learn more at senecagames.com, and don't forget to check out their other promotions:
