Maine Casinos, Raceways and Gambling
Although Maine is known for its scenic beaches, picturesque lighthouses, and charming towns, Maine Casinos and Raceways also provide an alternative form of entertainment for visitors. Whether you are looking to try your hand at a table game, win big at the slots, or bet at the racetrack, gambling in Maine offers something for everyone that is, if you're over 21.

Gamblers love the thrill of taking a risk at the blackjack table or cheering for their number in a game of roulette. Maine gambling offers the same excitement of a casino in Las Vegas or Atlantic City, on a smaller-scale and at a more affordable price. There is something for everyone, from the beginner to expert gambler. Slot machines are a fun way to gamble without losing a ton of money and can start for as little as 1 cent. If you're feeling lucky, try a live table game of poker or blackjack where the stakes are high and you could really win big!

If you don't get your kicks in a casino, try a visit to the racetrack instead. Harness racing is popular in Maine, with two major raceways located in Bangor and Scarborough. Nothing beats the excitement of picking a horse, betting big, and cheering it on as it rounds the final stretch to the finish line. Visitors will also find that all Maine gambling and racing destinations are within easy driving distance of many popular tourist towns, beaches, shopping and dining to complete your Maine vacation.
