I have been to alot of casinos in Nevada, Connecticut, Pennsylvania & Delaware... and Dover Downs has by far the tightest slot machines of anywhere. And it seems like they tighten them up even more on Friday-Saturday-Sunday when they are more crowded.

You hear the occasional yell of someone who got lucky and hit for a few hundred dollars, but mostly people are just pissed off walking around because no one is winning anything. If you want to LOSE money and get frustrated by your gambling experience then Dover Downs is the place for you.

Hey Now! Stopped on my way back from AC on Feb 13th.

Always nice rooms, they were pretty busy. The VP is 6/5 JoB. I like the new Hot Shot games. they closed down the Trackside Slots upstairs, which were nice when the ponies were running.

Easy to score a room with minimal play, ended up pushing, so not too bad...

Where to start? The customer service is rude and unfriendly, your players choice card doesn't mean anything, because you're lucky to be able to play for 10 minutes.

It's very rare anyone hits big here. The slots, no matter where you scout or check probability and percentage payouts, don't offer much of a payback. A $500 bankroll is good for about 30 minutes, the atmosphere is only nice if you're a high roller. It's intended for the wealithiest of people, not the average blue collar kinda guy.

I have gone in 5x each time with a $500 bankroll, carefully watching my payouts, and never have done better than a 75% payout. I highly doubt they will loosen their slots enough. Wealthy people go there so they don't give a shit about us average bankroll gamblers. Even on their highstakes pull the 6th and final time there I won nothing back.

Screw Dover they have won enough money from me and my family. Instead of driving about 2 hours to get there I will take my two-hour drive to Atlantic City or my one-hour drive to Charlestown where I know $500 will last. I have a good 80% chance of breaking even, or even coming home with double my bankroll.

All the Delaware casinos are a ripoff.

I was just at Dover Downs and put in over $1,200 in one machine and hit nothing. I don't know how people who walk in with $100 can enjoy themselves.

They better start to loosen up these machine or no one will come.

We had the pleasure of visiting Dover Downs last weekend. We normally frequent Charlestown, but since we never win there, we decided to try something new.

Over a two-hour period, we won two jackpots and left way ahead for the weekend. We also love the fact that it is non-smoking. Great experience. We don't mind driving a little further if we can actually win.

We had the pleasure of visiting Dover Downs a couple of times over the last few months and found the experience well worth the visit.

The rooms were pristine and the meals outstanding. The range of the restaurants covered the scope from quick snack to first class dining. Dining while watching or betting on the harnass racing was very entertaining.

The non-smoking atmosphere is a pleasure. The range of slot machines from penny to twenty dollars covers all gamblers tastes with the newest in video blackjack tables recently installed only increasing the variety.

Eventhough we didn't hit big jackpots, we enjoyed playing a wide variety of games and "broke even" for each multi-day visit. The benefits of visiting this complex will only increase with the multi-million dollar expansion under construction.

If there is a downside, the influx of NASCAR faithful to the monster mile races puts a strain on the level of service. But, if you are lucky enough to get a trackside room, the view is unbelieveable.

Highly recommended.
