Item 1. Security and Issuer.

The class of equity security to which this Schedule 13D relates is
the Common Stock (the "Common Stock"), par value $.10 per share, of
Dover Downs Entertainment, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company").  The Common Stock is publicly traded.  The ownership
reflected above includes both Common Stock and Class A Common Stock.
All shares are Class A Common Stock with the exception of 150,000
shares of Common Stock owned directly by Mr. Tippie and 45,000 shares
held in trust as to which Mr. Tippie is a Co-Trustee.  Class A Common
Stock is not publicly traded.  Class A Common Stock entitles the
holder to 10 votes per share and is convertible at any time into
shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one basis at the option of the
shareholder.  As a result, under Rule 13d, a holder of Class A Common
Stock is deemed to have beneficial ownership of the Common Stock
which such shareholder may acquire upon conversion of the Class A
Common Stock.  The percentages set forth herein assume the conversion
of all outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock into Common Stock.
The principal office of the Company is located at 1131 N. DuPont
Highway, Dover, Delaware  19901.

Item 2. Identity and Background.

This Schedule 13D is filed by the Estate of John W. Rollins, Sr. (the
"Estate") and Henry B. Tippie, both as executor of the Estate and
individually ("Mr. Tippie").  The Estate and Mr. Tippie are not a
"group" within the meaning of Section 13(d) and are filing on the
same Schedule for convenience only.
