Harrington's Table Games and Its Fixed Fairgrounds Position

The Fixed Fairgrounds Position Behind the Table Games Question

The question of whether Harrington Casino has table games begins with a venue whose physical position is fixed: it sits at coordinates 38.915 north, -75.575 west, on the fairgrounds of the Delaware State Fair, just south of Harrington, Delaware. That placement, not a moving destination, is what every distance figure in this article is measured from.

Straight-line distance is not road distance. Road travel is always longer because roads follow terrain, water crossings, and existing rights-of-way rather than a direct line between two points. This article publishes no driving mileage and no travel time for any pairing.

Does Harrington Casino Have Table Games?

Yes. The casino, formerly known as Midway Slots, has over 1,800 slot machines, table games, simulcasting, and sports betting. The table games are part of a facility that opened as a slot machine parlor on August 20, 1996, and has since expanded to 35,000 square feet of gaming space.

Harrington Raceway & Casino is a harness racing track and casino, a "racino," owned and operated by Harrington Raceway, Inc. The table games operate within a venue whose documented gaming floor area is 35,000 square feet, a figure that describes the facility at a documented point in time and may be revised as the property is rebuilt or expanded.

Where the Venue Sits and What That Fixes

The venue's location is a fixed geographic fact. It is on the fairgrounds of the Delaware State Fair, just south of Harrington, Delaware, and 16 miles south of Dover as documented in publicly published reference sources. The coordinates 38.915, -75.575 place it in the southern portion of Delaware, east of the Chesapeake Bay and west of the Delaware Bay and Atlantic coast.

Because the venue is fixed, every distance question is really two questions: where the venue is, and where the reader is measuring from. The venue's position does not change. The reader's position does. For any reader asking "how far is Harrington Casino from me," the honest answer is that the venue's coordinates are fixed and the reader's own starting point must be supplied before any distance can be measured.

Documented Straight-Line Distances to Reference Points

The table below lists every reference point for which a great-circle distance to Harrington Raceway & Casino is documented. All figures are straight-line measurements, not road distances.

Why Straight-Line Distance and Road Distance Differ

A great-circle distance is the shortest path along the Earth's surface between two coordinate points. It ignores every physical obstacle between them. The road distance is longer because a vehicle must follow a network of roads that bends around terrain, crosses or avoids water bodies, and respects state and county boundaries.

For Harrington Raceway & Casino, the surrounding geography includes the Delmarva Peninsula, the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal to the north, the Chesapeake Bay to the west, and the Delaware Bay to the east. A straight-line figure to, for example, Atlantic City crosses the Delaware Bay directly. A road route must go around it, adding considerable length. The same applies to any pairing across a major water body or mountain range.

Crossing a state line also adds route complexity. Delaware is a small state bordered by Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. A road trip from Harrington to a point in Pennsylvania or New Jersey must follow the limited crossings available, and those crossings are not where a straight line would pass.

How to Measure From Your Own Starting Point

The venue's coordinates are 38.915 north, -75.575 west. Any mapping application can accept those coordinates as a destination. The reader's own starting point is the missing variable in any "from me" question, and this article cannot guess it.

To measure from your own location, open a mapping application, enter your current position as the origin and the venue coordinates as the destination. The application will compute a road route and a driving distance. That figure will always be larger than any straight-line figure in the table above. The table's purpose is to give a fixed, documented reference frame, not a travel plan.

What to Confirm Before You Go

Table games availability, hours, and any entry requirements are operational details that change. The venue's own published pages and guest services line carry the current answer. Confirm the following before travelling:

• Whether table games are open on the day and time you plan to arrive, as hours vary by day and season.
• Whether any identification or age requirement applies to table games entry.
• Whether the table games area has a dress code or any separate access requirement.
• Whether the venue's published gaming floor area or machine count has changed since the documented figures were published.
