Dover Downs Poker Room Phone Number
150 reviews of Dover Downs Hotel & Casino 'Stayed at this hotel for my birthday this year and the room was nice. I'm surprised that they don't have queen beds, unless that was an additional upgrade. The bed slept okay, but I've slept on more. They forget we are playing for real money at a casino not a home game. The dealers spend more time being cashiers buying people into game the first two hours than dealing, with the blinds only 15mins this is crazy plus half the dealers coming to table did know how many chips to give to new players or what the add on's where. This taking even more time from actual playing time.

Dover Downs is a hotel, casino, and racetrack complex in Dover, Delaware. It has a .625-mile (1.006 km) harness horse racing track, which is surrounded by Dover International Speedway, a 1-mile (1.6 km) concrete track used for NASCAR motor racing events. The complex is owned and operated by Bally's Corporation (not including the speedway, which is a property of Dover Motorsports).
Primary features of Dover Downs Hotel & Casino include a 500-room hotel, dining options, over 2,700 slot machines, 40 table games, and the Rollins Center, an 18,000-square-foot (1,700 m2) multipurpose ballroom which features entertainment as well as hosting business conferences, conventions and banquets. Steelman Partners were the original architects and interior designers in 1995.[1]

In 2002, Dover Downs Entertainment, the complex's parent company, spun off the horse track and casino as an independent company, Dover Downs Gaming & Entertainment.[3] The former parent company changed its name to Dover Motorsports.
A hotel expansion in autumn 2007 added 268 additional rooms, including 52 suites and 11 spa suites, for a total of 500 hotel rooms. This made Dover Downs the largest hotel in Delaware.[4] Toppers Spa/Salon opened in the hotel on December 29, 2007.[5]
