Maine Casinos & Gambling:
When you visit Maine and explore all that this glorious state has to offer, tourists may be surprised to find that there are two casinos in Maine to choose from - that's a lot considering many people don't think there is ANY gambling in Maine at all.
The Maine casinos, are: Penobscot High Stakes Bingo Casino and the Hollywood Slots in Bangor. Both casinos offer quality gambling entertainment for the gambler to enjoy during your stay in the state of Maine. Further, if you like pari-mutuel activity you will be interested to know that in addition to the two Maine casinos, the state of Maine is home to two racetrack facilities, the Bangor Raceway and Scarborough Downs. So both tourists and residents of Maine have the opportunity to make their gambling experiences complete.
Alternatively, among the Maine casinos tourists will find that the Penobscot High Stakes Bingo Casino rests in Old Town and it is a casino owned by Native Americans that offers Pull Tab gambling in addition to Bingo gaming. Therefore, if the slots offered at Hollywood Slots do not appeal to you, the offering at Penobscot High Stakes Bingo Casino may.
Meanwhile, in addition to the Maine casinos, for those individuals looking for alternative gambling entertainment, Maine is home to two racetracks. Bangor Raceway is a seasonal operation that is open during the months of May through July and with a nominal entrance fee, visitors can get in on the harness racing action. Alternatively, the Scarborough Downs is open year round, every day, from noon until midnight. Again an entrance fee applies, and visitors can enjoy harness racing, live racing, and service at the Scarborough Club House.
Of course, while one is in Maine, they would do themselves a serious injustice if they failed to visit some of Maine's historical attractions in between their visits to the Maine casinos. Maine is home to the splendid Pine Haven Winter Park, Moose Point State Park, the Farnsworth Art Museum, the Rockin' Horse Stables, the Carousel Music Theater, the Cap'N Fish's Whale Watch, and York's Wild Kingdom, just to name a few of the many incredible destinations in Maine
