Delaware occupies a unique place in American gambling history, punching well above its weight as the nation’s second-smallest state. In 1994 the Delaware General Assembly passed legislation authorizing Video Lottery Terminals (VLTs) at the state’s three pari-mutuel racetracks, making Delaware the first state in the United States to approve slot machine gaming at horse racing facilities. The first VLTs went live in 1995, launching what would become the racino model that dozens of states later adopted.
The lottery-run framework was deliberate. Rather than create an independent casino regulatory body, Delaware placed oversight of all gaming machines under the Delaware State Lottery Office, which contracts with the three licensed operators. The state retains a substantial share of VLT revenues — historically among the highest in the country — channeling proceeds into the General Fund and education funding.
Table games arrived in 2012 after the legislature expanded the gaming menu at all three racinos. That same year Delaware became one of the first three states in the nation — alongside Nevada and New Jersey — to legalize and launch regulated online casino gambling, following passage of Senate Bill 51. Delaware was small enough to move quickly and had the existing lottery infrastructure to support a controlled rollout.
Located at 777 Delaware Park Blvd in Wilmington, Delaware Park is the oldest and largest of the state’s three racinos. The property opened as a thoroughbred racing facility in 1937 and added VLTs when the state authorized them in the mid-1990s. Today guests can reach the casino at +1-302-994-2521 or visit delawarepark.com.
The gaming floor hosts more than 2,500 slot machines and VLTs across multiple sections, giving players a wide variety of denominations and themes. Since table games were authorized in 2012, Delaware Park has offered blackjack, roulette, craps, and a selection of poker variants. The property also runs a poker room separate from the main floor, drawing a regular local following for daily tournaments and cash games.
Delaware Park remains an active thoroughbred racing venue. Live racing runs seasonally and simulcast wagering on races from across North America is available year-round. The combination of live racing, slots, and table games under one roof gives the property a distinct character compared to standalone commercial casinos. On-site dining options range from a casual sports bar to a more formal sit-down restaurant overlooking the track.
Dover Downs Hotel & Casino sits at 1131 N DuPont Hwy in Dover, the state capital, and can be reached at +1-302-674-4600 or at doverdowns.com. It is Delaware’s only casino hotel, offering hundreds of guest rooms and suites connected directly to the gaming floor — a convenience that makes it the default choice for overnight visitors coming specifically to gamble.
The gaming floor features more than 2,000 slots and VLTs, full table game offerings, and a dedicated poker room. Blackjack, craps, roulette, baccarat, and several electronic table variants are spread across the floor. The poker room hosts regular daily tournaments in addition to no-limit and limit cash games.
Dover Downs is also home to a harness racing track, with live racing scheduled from late fall through early spring. On non-racing days, simulcast wagering on harness and thoroughbred races from partner tracks is available. The hotel amenities include a spa, a fitness center, and multiple restaurants, making it a self-contained destination rather than just a gaming stop.
Harrington Raceway & Casino, located at 18 W Rider Rd in Harrington, is the southernmost of Delaware’s three racinos and serves the lower portion of the state. The property can be contacted at +1-302-398-7223 or online at harringtonraceway.com.
Harrington’s gaming floor is smaller than Delaware Park or Dover Downs but still offers more than 1,500 slots and VLTs along with table games. The property is primarily a harness racing venue, and the racing atmosphere is more present here than at the other two sites — the grandstand is visible from the gaming floor and live harness meets run regularly during the season. For players who enjoy combining slots with watching live standardbred racing, Harrington provides the most authentic track experience of the three properties. Dining on site is casual, oriented toward racing fans and local regulars.
All three Delaware racinos operate loyalty programs that reward regular players with points redeemable for free play, dining credits, hotel stays, and other perks.
Delaware Park runs the Delaware Park Rewards program. Members earn points on every dollar wagered on slots and VLTs, and the property periodically runs promotional multiplier days that accelerate earning. Table game play also earns points, though typically at a different rate than machine play. Tiered membership levels unlock additional benefits including priority access to events and race-day hospitality.
Dover Downs operates the Winners Circle Rewards program, which covers both casino play and hotel stays. The unified points system means that a guest earning casino points can apply them toward room nights, spa treatments, or dining — an advantage the hotel format provides that the other two properties cannot match. The program also links to Dover Motorsports events at the adjacent Dover Motor Speedway, giving members access to cross-property promotions during NASCAR race weekends.
Harrington Raceway & Casino uses a comparable tier-based loyalty card. Players accumulate points on slots and table games and can redeem them for free play and dining vouchers. New players can sign up at the players club booth on the gaming floor, and sign-up promotions typically include a starting free play credit to encourage first visits.
Delaware was a pioneer in licensed online casino gambling. Following passage of Senate Bill 51 in 2012, the Delaware State Lottery partnered with 888 Holdings to launch the Delaware Online Casino platform, which operates as Delaware Park Online, Dover Downs Online, and Harrington Casino Online — three branded portals sharing the same underlying platform managed by 888.
Players physically located within Delaware’s borders can access hundreds of online slots, blackjack, roulette, video poker, and live dealer games. The online platforms are licensed and regulated directly by the Delaware State Lottery Office, the same body that oversees the physical racinos. Deposits, withdrawals, and account management are handled through the 888 platform, and players must verify their identity and physical location before playing for real money.
The Delaware online market is notably smaller than New Jersey’s or Pennsylvania’s due to the state’s population, but it was operationally significant because it proved that a lottery-run online model was workable before larger states committed to their own frameworks. Players in Delaware today have full access to a regulated, legal online casino option as an alternative to driving to one of the three racinos.
All casino gaming in Delaware falls under the authority of the Delaware State Lottery Office, which sits within the Delaware Department of Finance. Unlike most commercial gaming states that have a separate gaming control commission, Delaware’s lottery-centric model means the same agency that runs Powerball and scratch tickets also oversees the racino slot floors, table games, and online casino platforms. The Delaware Gaming Control Board handles licensing for specific categories, including dealers and key gaming employees.
The Delaware Council on Gambling Problems (DCGP) is the state’s primary responsible gambling resource. DCGP administers a toll-free helpline, funds treatment services, and works with the licensed operators to implement player protection tools including deposit limits, loss limits, self-exclusion, and cooling-off periods. The self-exclusion program applies statewide — a player who enrolls is excluded from all three racinos and all online platforms simultaneously.
All three casino properties are required to post problem gambling resources visibly on the gaming floor and to train staff to recognize signs of problem gambling. Online platforms operated through the 888 Delaware system include built-in tools for players to set voluntary spending and time limits, consistent with the broader responsible gambling standards the Delaware State Lottery requires under its licensing agreements.
Players with concerns can contact the Delaware Council on Gambling Problems helpline or reach the Delaware State Lottery Office for questions about licensing, complaints, or player disputes. The compact size of Delaware’s gaming market — three properties, one online platform, one regulatory authority — means the oversight structure is unusually transparent compared to larger states with multiple competing agencies.
