I had the drink girl bring me a bottle of water and red bull constantly. I ordered some nice chili plus philly cheesesteak. I was pleasantly surprised by this turn of events. I also found out that if you are playing at the high roller table, they bring you food to eat while you are playing right at the table. $50 minimum bet blackjack table and $100 minimum bet blackjack table. So, after some ups and down, I decided to take my game to the high roller area, which was not that big of an area and for a high roller area the min bet was very low. I did relatively well at the table, but I didn't like the fact that the cards were constantly shuffled by a machine with no end to the shoe.

So, I sit down on one of the blackjack tables, with $25 min bet. I play table games, and strictly table games. I walked in and it wasn't exactly Atlantic City in scale but I saw some table games. If the place was bad, I could continue on my way and lose only a few minutes. It was late and I decided on the spur of the moment, why not check it out instead of driving another 90 minutes or so to Borgata. I was driving to Borgata when I saw the sign that said exit at 4B for Delaware Park Casino. In 2010, the legislature brought forth an official bill legalizing live table gaming and Jmarked the first day of Delaware Park's full-fledged casino operation.First of all, let me say that I didn't start off trying to get here. In 1994, under the direction of the Delaware State Lottery, legislation was enacted to introduce slot machines at Delaware Park. The track reopened in the spring of 1984. Because of competition and disinterest in horse racing, Delaware Park officially closed its doors on September 6, 1982. Successes stabilized and remained consistent throughout the next few decades. Televisions were added and the winner's circle was built. In 1958, the Park was expanded to include a new clubhouse and the enlargement of the grandstand, resulting in the doubling of the seating capacity. The backstretch contained stables for over 1,200 horses. The track itself was a one-mile dirt oval with a pair of steeplechase turf courses. The original Delaware Park facilities consisted of an open-air, 7,500 seat grandstand with an innovative tiered Clubhouse/Turf Club on the upper level.

Harris of Media, Pennsylvania was hired as the architectural engineer. Ross (1902-1973) designed and built Delaware Park Racetrack.
