A guide to Delaware Park, Bally’s Dover, Harrington

Maybe you’ve driven past one of Delaware’s three casinos and wondered what they’re like inside but you might be intimidated because you’re not exactly sure how to play the games.

Well, here’s a rundown of all the amenities at the casinos, the help available for new players and perhaps a few things you didn’t know. For instance, there are restaurants and events you could take the whole family to, even though children aren’t allowed in the gambling areas.

Or, did you know all three casinos were originally horse racing tracks, and that’s what led to casinos being legalized in the state? The Horse Racing Redevelopment Act, passed in 1994, was designed to help the struggling horse racing industry by allowing slot machines, with a percentage of the slots money designated to help the race tracks. Later, table games were also permitted.
