We stopped at Dover Downs today and being a Tuesday we did expect it to be abit slow but that really is an understatement. Played a few hours of slots and had 3 bonus rounds that paid less than the bet. The selection of machines were ok but no were near an AC casino. Drink was slow at best, we... more

Competition makes Atlantic City hungry for your business and money. Dover Downs doesn't really have a need to do better. So, as for the Gaming Room, (Casino), it lacks the luster and excitment of A.C. which I believe results in having the workers also lack luster. Many of them are very sloppy in their dress and appearance and attitude. I... more

Rooms facing the race track are bombarded by unbearably loud noise from cars on the track; the hotel staff did not seem to think we had any reason to request a room change, saying some customers like to hear the noise from the racing cars. Further, many of the rooms at the hotel are quite far from the elevators. more

My husband and I had the pleasure of visiting Dover Downs this weekend. Not only did we both win, but found the casino staff to be very friendly and efficient and the casino to be clean and inviting. We normally frequent Charlestown, but the payouts there have been horrible and the smoke is overwhelming. It was nice to breathe fresh... more

My wife and I travel to Dover Downs frequently and have always found the whole experience from the Hotel and Restaurants to the slots to be outstanding ! One sad note, apparently under some unknow political pressure or something, the casino last fall ceased to allow smoking, bad idea, it was one of the reason I frequented the casino. Maybe... more

Dover Downs is a very nice and refreshing casino, where you don't smell like an ashtray when you leave. I've been to numerous casinos, and being a nonsmoker, have dealt with it, only because I truly love to play slot machines. I've been there a few times, and like any other casino, have had better winning days than others. But... more
