Arrival
The casino in brief
Casino New Brunswick sits at 21 Casino Drive, Moncton, reached by taking exit 450, Magnetic Hill, off the Trans-Canada Highway (Route 2). It opened in May 2010 and is open year-round. The operator is Great Canadian Entertainment, acting for a Crown corporation: New Brunswick Lotteries and Gaming Corporation, known as the NBLGC.
A hotel with 126 rooms and deluxe suites is connected to the casino. The casino's concerts are held in the Molson Canadian Centre, at the very same address.
One point before you plan: the floor is not open 24/7. On Friday and Saturday the slots stay on until 3 AM; Sunday through Thursday, they shut at 2 AM. Tables, poker and the High Limit Room keep their own hours, set out below.

Concert night
A concert night
Concerts at Casino New Brunswick are staged in the Molson Canadian Centre. Ticketmaster handles all ticket sales, and the box office opens its doors 90 minutes ahead of showtime. Events are open to all ages unless a show says otherwise. Children 24 months and under may enter without a ticket on an accompanying adult's lap.
No bags or backpacks are allowed, so leave them in the room or the car. Cameras, drones and recording devices are not permitted. Re-entry is permitted, and guests under 19 may attend a show but may not enter the gaming floor. Upcoming shows are listed on greatcanadian.com/entertainment, and the concert page of this guide covers the rest.
Who comes along
Who can go where
Casino New Brunswick admits guests aged 19 or older to the floor. Please keep valid government photo ID in your pocket; a passport, a driver's licence or a provincial ID card suffices. Because The Buffet and The Hub City Pub both sit on the casino floor, the same age limit holds there as well. A second piece, a provincial health card for example, may be requested from guests who look under 30.
Concerts at the Molson Canadian Centre are open to all ages unless a show says otherwise. At the hotel desk, the person checking in must be 19 or older.

Online
Playing online in New Brunswick
For online play in New Brunswick, ALC.ca is the one platform the province recognises as legal and regulated. Atlantic Lottery runs it and offers Digital Instants, iBingo and iCasino. In Atlantic Canada, Atlantic Lottery's position is that no other online gambling site may legally operate or advertise there, overseas licence or not. New Brunswick has no licensing scheme for private online operators.
Any paid link on this page sends you to an unnamed private online casino partner, which may change. Because New Brunswick permits no private online casino, the guide offers this one no endorsement. No money ever changes hands for links pointing to the casino, the province or help services. More on this sits on the guide's online page.
