How Many Slot Machines At Dover Downs
Slots
Take a spin. Hit it BIG! We have more than 2,200 slot machines including progressives. You can play our popular penny machines all the way up to our $100 slots. It is a sure bet that we have many of your favorite games!
Dover Downs has a ton of slot machines, but they were kind of annoying. Again, this is something I don't have much (if any) experience with, but I didn't like it that you have to put a minimum of $5 into the machines. The 2,300 slots, video keno, and video blackjack machines are actually video lottery terminals (VLTs) served from the Delaware Lottery, but the machines are made by the same people who bring you Las Vegas and Atlantic City slots. No machine has higher than 95% RTP by law, nor less than 87%.
Slots are among the most popular attractions at Dover Downs Hotel & Casino for good reason. They are fun, easy to play and one of the simplest ways to win big. Enjoy a few games to warm up before visiting our poker room or table games, or play all night and earn exclusive rewards as a member of our Capital Club. Whatever your game of choice, you will find a wide range of options at Dover’s premier gaming destination.
Why Play Slots?
Even if you have never played a casino game before, you can win big with slots. Slots are often the first game one learns when they experience the excitement of a casino for the first time, and with good reason. It is by far the easiest game. There are no rules to learn, no dealer you need to explain your bets to, no other players waiting for you to act. It is just you, the machine and lady luck.
If you have ever walked by a casino floor, you have almost certainly seen the excitement of slots in action. People whooping for joy as bells and whistles go off or money clanks, coin after coin, into the tray. The anticipation on a player’s face as they make that next pull. Slots is a fun and engaging game that can go on for hours of fun.
Another nice feature about slots is that they cater to small and big players alike. Our slots come in multiple dominations, so whether you are a nickel player or you want to let $5 ride on each spin, we can accommodate you. There are also multiple betting options on each machine, so you can try your luck with one bet or set yourself up to win big with multiple bets per spin. It is all up to you.
How to Play Slots
Slots are a great introduction to casino games because it is so simple. Just start by inserting your preferred money denomination into the machine. That denomination, divided by the cost of the machine, tells you how many units you have to play with. Each machine may give you the option to play multiple units per spin. These extra units may provide you with more payout lines or serve as a multiplier for whatever you win.
Buttons on the machine are clearly marked to show you how to make as many bets per spin as you want, up to what the machine allows. Keep in mind, if you are trying to win the progressive jackpot, you will need to bet the maximum number of units per spin. Once you have inserted your money and chosen your bet, just pull the handle or press the spin button and watch the fun! How the symbols line up on the screen will determine how much you win each time.
There should be a pay table printed on the machine that will show you how much each symbol combination pays, but you do not have to know this information — the machine will automatically calculate your winnings from the symbol combination that comes up. Remember — although there is one main pay line horizontally across the center, if you are playing multiple bets, it is possible you can get paid on multiple lines: above the center line, below it, even vertically and diagonally.
And when you win, do not look for coins to drop into the tray. Your winnings will continue to be digitally added to your unit total until you cash out. That is all there is to slots!
Promotions and Deals
If you are serious about slots, you will want to take advantage of the many promotions and discounts available to you as a loyal visitor. First among them is our Capital Club®, an exclusive rewards program that lets you earn points each time you play our slots or other games. Earn enough points and qualify for perks such as a free night’s stay in our luxurious hotel, meals at our restaurants, valet parking and much more.
Great deals and one of the largest collections of slots in the Mid-Atlantic region are just two of the reasons why Dover Downs Hotel & Casino is a winning destination for fun and excitement. Stop by Dover Downs Hotel & Casino for a winning day!
