A short history
Casino New Brunswick opened in May 2010. It was built as three buildings joined in one linear design: a hotel, a casino, and a multifunction entertainment and convention centre. In October 2015 the casino was sold to Great Canadian. Great Canadian Gaming New Brunswick operates it on behalf of the NBLGC, receiving 51% of gross gaming revenue while the NBLGC keeps 49%.
Visitors in fiscal 2023-24 numbered 906,724.
Getting in
The casino is 19+. Guests need valid government photo ID, such as a driver's licence, passport or provincial ID card, and those who look younger than 30 may be asked for a second piece. Rewards Club costs nothing to join for guests 19+. Every $1 played on slots earns 1 point, and 35,000 points bring a Ruby card.
A player who self-excludes has the Rewards Club membership suspended immediately, and the outstanding balance is forfeited. The Responsible Gaming Information Centre sits just outside the casino, in the pedway towards the entertainment centre, telephone 506-861-4699. It informs visitors about the Voluntary Self-Exclusion program, whose terms are not published online.
