Delaware Park has become the Delaware's second casino to offer table games.
That means in addition to slot machines, gamblers in Delaware can play games such as poker, blackjack, roulette and craps. Delaware Park began offering table games on Friday, The (Wilmington, Del.) News Journal reported.
Another casino in the state, Harrington Raceway and Casino, launched table games last month.
Table games will generate an estimated $40 million in tax revenue, state officials said. They hope these new offerings will help casinos in the state remain competitive with places to gamble in other states.
In the region, new slot machine casinos have popped up in Maryland and table games are expected to start at Pennsylvania casinos later this summer.
