No Casinos and I hope it stays that way. Casinos have been up for a vote a couple of times in the last two election cycles and have been defeated both times. Maine people do not want casinos here. It's about 165 miles from Portland to Bangor. Long drive for a day trip.

High stakes bingo is when you win more than once and you are not a regular. |

It really does look very prison-esque there on Main Street. (I know it brings in money, yadda yadda yadda, but every time I see it, it just looks SO out of place there.) |

Being "impartial" is not necessarily a bad thing.

There have been attempts by the Penobscot Tribe to bring a casino to Maine, but there's a well-concerted effort to nix that by the name of Casinos-NO! 
At any rate, here's a link to Hollywood Slots which has slot machines:
