Delaware has both a regulated land-based industry and also a regulated online gambling industry – one of the few states offering such convenience for gamblers.
While online and live gamblers are catered for – the live gambling scene is quite limited with just a handful of land-based casinos in the state.

Poker In Delaware
Live Poker
You won’t find much poker action in the state – with just one venue for live card-players at Harrington Raceway and Casino. There are 10 tables available in the card-room, and according to their website, Dealer’s Choice is available as well as No Limit Hold’em and Pot Limit Omaha.
Online Poker
One of the few jurisdictions in America that permits legal online poker is Delaware, which also shares a player / liquidity pool with the states of New Jersey and Nevada. Along with three websites linked to each of the three casino and racetrack establishments in the state, WSOP.com is also accessible (Harrington Raceway, Dover Downs, and Delaware Park). These affiliate sites share player pools with New Jersey and Nevada and run on the 888 software.
