I have been to AC, Las Vegas as well as many local casinos. This isn't the biggest nor the nicest. However, it is close and on the way to the beach. Of the three casinos in DE, it is the best one for table games. It seems like we never do well at the slots. Dover seems to have a higher payout. Delaware Park is terrible. I am not sure what the payout percentage is for their slot machines.
They used to have a 6 or 8 deck shoe but most of their games are now on the constant shuffle machines. I think it gives the house slightly higher odds. They report the high roller room has 6 or 8 deck shoes.
The buffet is the best one out of the three casinos in DE. The food can be very good or mediocre depending on the day or when the fresh food comes out. Usually it has been fine for us.
The dealers for the most part are very nice and will try to help novices at Blackjack and Craps. There are a lot of newbies at the $2 Blackjack tables and they often do questionable things, but I don't know if if makes much of a difference with the constant shuffle machines.
If you go regularly, they have gotten better at comps to keep you coming back.
Harrington is just a good place. The people gambling there seem to be friendly and kind and the dealers are good; not just at their games, but in their personality. Notice I am not talking extraordinary here, it is not that kind of place - which is part of the reason I like it so much. If you are looking for a good friendly place to have some fun gambling I think Harrington is the place for you. The tables games are usually not crowded and there are almost always low minimum bet games open. They just went to 10x craps odds on a $10 pass line and have just started a $25 min. blackjack table that deals from a shoe, once someone sits down to play the table is closed to newcomers until the shoe is shuffled. These are some really nice rules for those who can afford it. If you can't, like me, than you can still have a lot of fun. The Video Poker pay tables are low, but there always seem to be more than enough open - maybe its because of the pay tables. The player's club is nice with monthly specials and free buffets. It seems to be hard to get rated high, but the comps still come. The food is really good and it is an all you can eat buffet. I haven't tried the fancy Bonz, but heard it is good. Oh yeah, they also have a decent sportsbook with comfy chairs and cubicles.
Overall Harrington Casino has good dealers, good people, good games, (poor video poker), good food, and is a good place to have a great time!
Wow this place is very small but nice (first coment when walking in). As stated, maybe? 1,000 slots literally. Can walk from one end to the other of the casino in 5 minutes.
It's very modern and clean; the food is okay. I guess the Random Number Generator played in my favor: the 25 dollar pulls were very good to me. One customer (who almost knocked me over) won a hundred grand on one of them.
The quarter slots and 50 cent slots were okay. Just enough for me to get the gonads to high roll. Seems it's in your favor to play their high roller section but like anywhere else it's what the Random Number Generator wants to do.
Bear in mind it's a local place so if you play the high roller section you're at risk. Most people seem to play the penny slots and nickel slots. I'd go back just to try to get enough money to head up towards Philly.
Currently they do have a nice perk going, they offer $200 back if you lose and win nothing so that's nice, but if you win $200 or more you're obviously not going to get anything.
