About Casino at Delaware Park

Casino at Delaware Park is a racino at 777 Delaware Park Boulevard in Wilmington, Delaware (technically in Stanton, near Wilmington), owned by Delaware Park LLC. Delaware Park was founded in 1937 as a thoroughbred horse racing venue — one of the Mid-Atlantic region’s established race tracks — and subsequently became a licensed gaming facility when Delaware authorized slot machines at its three racetracks in 1994 and table games in 2011. The current gaming operation runs 2,300 gaming machines, 63 table games, and a 25-table poker room on a 24/7 schedule, with live horse racing, a Race & Sports Book, golf, restaurant, self-parking, and valet on site. A Player Rewards loyalty program serves regular guests. The minimum gambling age is 21, and gaming is regulated by the Delaware Division of Gaming Enforcement. Phone: (888) 850-8888; email: programs@delawarepark.com; website: delawarepark.com.

Delaware Park is located in the Stanton area of New Castle County approximately 5 miles southwest of downtown Wilmington and 25 miles south of Philadelphia via I-95 and I-295. The location makes it one of the most accessible gaming destinations in the Delaware Valley region, drawing from Wilmington, Philadelphia, Chester County, and the Delaware Route 1 corridor.

The 1937 founding date gives Delaware Park one of the longer institutional histories of any gaming complex in the Mid-Atlantic, and its evolution from a thoroughbred racetrack to a full casino-and-racing operation mirrors the broader Delaware regulatory trajectory from horse-racing-only to full casino gaming. Delaware’s Division of Gaming Enforcement — distinct from the casino-only regulatory models in other states — governs gaming in the context of the integrated racetrack-casino facilities that characterize all three Delaware gaming locations.

Table Games

Casino at Delaware Park runs 63 table game positions with a game menu that includes 3 Card Poker, Cajun Stud, Craps, Electronic Keno, Electronic Tables, Fortune Pai Gow Poker, Four Card Poker, High Card Flush, Blackjack (including Lucky Ladies side bet), Mississippi Stud, Pai Gow Poker, Roulette, Spanish 21, and Ultimate Texas Hold’em.

High Card Flush is a table game in which players form the best single-suit flush from seven dealt cards, competing against the dealer. Payouts increase for longer flushes; the main bet pays on three-card flushes or better. Cajun Stud is a five-card stud variant originating in Louisiana gaming culture in which players receive five cards face-up and compete against the dealer’s five-card hand. Lucky Ladies is a Blackjack side bet that pays on hand totals of 20, with escalating payouts for suited 20s, matched 20s, and a Queen of Hearts pair (the “Lucky Ladies”). Spanish 21 uses a 48-card deck with all four tens removed and offers liberal player rules including late surrender, double down after split, and bonus payouts on specific hand combinations.

At 63 table positions, the Casino at Delaware Park offers one of the deeper table game menus in the Delaware gaming market.

Poker Room

Casino at Delaware Park’s 25-table poker room spreads Limit Hold’em, NL Hold’em, Omaha 8 or Better, Omaha Hi/Hold’em Half & Half, Pot Limit Omaha, and Texas Hold’em cash games.

Omaha Hi/Hold’em Half & Half is a mixed format in which the game alternates between Omaha Hi and Hold’em on a hand-by-hand or orbit-by-orbit rotation — players at the same table play both games in sequence, requiring proficiency in both formats. This is a relatively uncommon mixed format that distinguishes the Delaware Park poker room from standard NL-only operations. Pot Limit Omaha is the standard four-hole-card Omaha game with pot-limit betting structure. Omaha 8 or Better (Omaha Hi-Lo) splits the pot between high and qualifying low. The multi-format depth — five distinct poker formats — gives the 25-table room considerable variety for players who prefer alternatives to standard NL Hold’em. Current stakes and running games are at delawarepark.com.

Racing: Horse Racing, Race & Sports Book, and Simulcasting

Casino at Delaware Park hosts live thoroughbred horse racing during its seasonal racing meet, with a full Race & Sports Book and simulcasting from tracks across the country and internationally available year-round. Delaware Park’s racing calendar typically runs from spring through fall; specific meet dates and race schedules are at delawarepark.com.

The Race & Sports Book handles both horse race wagering and sports betting — Delaware authorized sports betting in 2018, making it one of the first states to implement retail sports wagering after the Murphy v. NCAA Supreme Court decision. Simulcasting brings live racing from other tracks to the Delaware Park facility on non-racing days, providing a year-round wagering venue for thoroughbred, harness, and greyhound racing.

Delaware's original 1937 racetrack — 25-table poker room with Pot Limit Omaha, specialty table games, and live racing

Casino at Delaware Park is the region's racing-anchored gaming institution: a 1937 thoroughbred track that evolved through Delaware's 1994 slots authorization and 2011 table game expansion into a full-floor racino. The 25-table poker room's Pot Limit Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, and the unusual Omaha Hi/Hold'em Half & Half give it a format depth that outpaces most Mid-Atlantic poker rooms. High Card Flush and Cajun Stud add specialty table game options beyond the standard Mid-Atlantic menu. The Race & Sports Book handles both horse race wagering and sports betting.
