Delaware Poker Gambling

Delaware is a state that does not have poker card rooms or real casino gambling. This page is a guide to what kind of wagering action you can expect to find in the state, and it includes some commentary regarding underground cardrooms and home poker games, as well as some directory style information for the racinos in the state. We've even included some details of a few poker players who hail from Delaware.

Home Poker Games, DE

Since there are no actual casinos offering a Texas holdem game in the state, home poker games (and underground poker rooms) flourish. Actually finding a game in Delaware is as easy as taking a look at Google, but we would like to suggest that if you haven't already, you might give online poker a try. Not only can you get in twice as many hands per hour playing online, you can also relax in the comfort of your own home.

One concern we always had when playing in the cardrooms available to us was the potential to be robbed or raided by the police. The odds of something like that happening when you're playing at home alone on your computer are much lower, in our opinion. (But we're not lawyers, or giving legal advice. The information on this site is for purely informational and educational purposes.)

Notable Delaware Poker Players

One of the better-known poker players in the state of Delaware is Charlie Townsend, who can boast of over $135,000 in tournament poker winnings over the course of 2005 and 2006. In fact, in March of 2006, Townsend won a World Poker Tour event with a kitty of $70,000+.

Charitable Poker Tournaments

According to Chuck Humphrey's gambling law website, charitable poker tournaments are allowed in Delaware. The full text of the law can be found here: Delaware poker laws.

Other Delaware Gambling, Racinos and Slots

If you're just looking for action, and not specifically a Texas hold'em game, you can find plenty of betting going on at the racinos in the state.

Dover Downs

This is possibly the biggest and best place to find gambling in the entire state. While they're primarily a racetrack, they also offer over 400 different video poker games, and over 2700 video lottery terminals (which are very similar to slot machines). If you like these games, and you're tired of the action at the local home poker game, give Dover Downs a try. The hotel is nice, and the action is almost constant.

Harrington Raceway

The only action here is on the horses, but if you like wagering on the ponies, it's one of the options available in the state.

Delaware Park

Another racino, Delaware Park offers video lottery terminals and video poker games to complement the horse racing action available there. Next to Dover Downs, this is the biggest gambling establishment in the state.
