Delaware Park Horse Racing: Make Your Bets, Play the Ponies

If you’re looking to test your luck, Delaware Park is the spot for you. Founded in the 1930s by the DuPont family, industrial magnates who were responsible for so much of Delaware’s development, it has blossomed into a first-class adult entertainment destination. First off, stop at the classic racetrack, where horses round the oval every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday. All of the standard bets are taken, with easy payouts and friendly tellers taking your bets. If the ponies aren’t running for you, just step into the adjoining casino, which boasts two huge non-smoking gambling floors with 2,500 slot machines and a whopping 42 table games. If you’re looking to sharpen your skills for a World Series of Poker run, stop in the 20-table poker room, where you’ll compete with some of the region’s best players. Delaware Park is also one of only three casinos on the East Coast to offer sports betting, so place a parlay bet and watch the game on one of 20 huge screens in the Clubhouse.
