This casino has a great mix of slots and a very comfortable Race Book. You can order food while you play the horses. Reminds me of a Las Vegas Casino. Big. More

Dover downs offers 2 specialty restaurants and a casino buffet. The buffet is a good value with alot of variety. The casino was very clean and had a smokers lounge for those that needed to light up.The casino was well laid out and offered plenty of parking. Right off of Rt 13, it is easy access from most Dover hotels. More

I don't like huge crowds and this place is exactly what I want. The casino is small but not tiny and the crowds are manageable. There is a great selection of slots and some good restaurants to choose from. We've gone a number of times and I look forward to our next visit. More
