The action comes in the wake of last week's U.S. Supreme Court ruling that allows states to decide whether to allow its residents to bet on sports.
Delaware had paved the way for legal sports gambling through a state law passed in 2009. In a statement obtained by USA TODAY Sports, Finance Secretary Rick Geisenberger said the state was prepared for the Supreme Court's decision and "had plans in place for months."
The state will begin training lottery and casino staff early next week on how the program will be implemented.
The state plans to offer what it calls "full-scale sports gaming," including head-to-head betting on individual games in professional and college sports, with the exception of games involving Delaware-based teams.
