Casino NB New Brunswick - Gaming and Entertainment

What Casino NB Actually Is

Casino New Brunswick - most guests just say Casino NB - is a full resort at 21 Casino Drive in Moncton, right in the Magnetic Hill tourist area. It is more than a gaming floor. There is a hotel, spa, restaurants, and a live performance venue, all tied together in one complex. The destination casino complex is comprised of three distinct buildings integrated into one linear design: a hotel, a casino, and a multifunction entertainment and convention centre.

The property is operated by Great Canadian Gaming (New Brunswick) Ltd. on behalf of the New Brunswick Lotteries and Gaming Corporation. The company runs a network of similar casino resorts across Canada, so the operating style here follows that pattern.

All gambling activity at Casino NB is authorized and monitored by the New Brunswick Lotteries and Gaming Corporation (NBLGC). That is the provincial authority responsible for casino oversight in New Brunswick. In simple terms: Casino NB is a fully licensed, legal venue under provincial law.

You do not have to sign up for a membership just to walk in. Any adult who meets the age requirement can access the gaming floor and other 19+ areas.

The Gaming Floor - What’s There and When

On the casino floor you will find approximately 575 slot machines, 18 table games, and 6 poker tables, plus a high limit area. Blackjack, roulette and specialty tables make up the core mix you would expect from a resort of this size.

Different sections keep slightly different hours, and that matters if you are planning a specific game.

Slots start running at 10:00 in the morning every day. Table games are not dealt until 4:00 PM. The poker room only operates Thursday through Saturday in the evening window shown above.

If you care about a specific table, like craps or a particular limit, the pit manager keeps a direct phone line at 506-861-4654. Because hours can shift with demand or events, calling ahead is genuinely useful instead of just a courtesy.

One general piece of advice for any land-based casino: always look up the schedule for the exact area you plan to play, not only the public opening time. That simple check avoids showing up at noon expecting live poker that only starts later in the day.

Your First Visit - What to Expect

The minimum age to enter the casino in New Brunswick is 19. That rule covers the gaming floor and all designated 19+ sections on the property.

You should bring valid government-issued photo ID. If you appear under 30, staff will often ask for an extra piece of identification. A driver’s license, passport, provincial health card or even a credit card is typically used for that second check.

Reaching the resort is straightforward off the Trans-Canada Highway corridor into Moncton. If you are staying at the hotel, complimentary parking is included in the room rate, so there is no extra fee for leaving your car on-site.

A first visit usually follows a simple pattern:

1. Make sure you have the ID you need before heading out, ideally two pieces if you are on the younger side.
2. Arrive and choose the gaming area that matches the time of day - slots are available from 10:00 AM, tables from 4:00 PM.
3. Call 506-861-4654 if you want to double-check that a certain table game is open.
4. Check in at the hotel if you are staying overnight. Standard check-in is from 4:00 PM, and check-out is at 11:00 AM.
5. Walk through the rest of the resort at your own pace. The spa, restaurants and performance venue are available to explore.

Families sometimes stay on-site as well. Children are welcome in the hotel, but they are not allowed in any 19+ areas. That restriction covers the gaming floor and some dining spaces that sit inside the casino section of the building.

The Hotel and Resort Side

The hotel that forms part of Casino NB is rated at 4.5 stars and shows up regularly on booking platforms like Hotels.com and Expedia. Check-in time is 4:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM, which is fairly standard for a resort stay.

We do accept pets in specific rooms. Guests can bring cats or dogs, up to two animals per room, and up to 50 lbs each. There is a $40 per night charge added to the stay for those pet-friendly rooms. Pets are not allowed anywhere on the gaming floor.

On the wellness side, there is an on-site spa that Tourism New Brunswick has called one of the more luxurious spa experiences in Atlantic Canada. Marketing language aside, it is a feature that gets mentioned again and again in regional coverage. Several restaurants operate on the property, some geared toward hotel guests and others set up for day visitors as well.

Here is a quick snapshot of the resort amenities:

The entertainment and convention centre hosts concerts and conferences throughout the year. Bookings related to performances run through 604-523-8618.

For meetings, parties, or group events, private rooms such as the Monte Carlo Room and Nevada Room can be reserved. Event and sales inquiries go to [email protected].

Regulation - The Short Version

Under New Brunswick law, gambling is only lawful when it is conducted or authorized by the provincial government. Casino NB operates under that framework, with the New Brunswick Lotteries and Gaming Corporation (NBLGC) directly responsible for authorizing and supervising activity at the property. The provincial Gaming Control Branch also contributes to the overall oversight model.

Casino NB is part of a small group of provincially authorized venues in New Brunswick alongside Grey Rock Entertainment Centre in Edmundston and the Tobique Gaming Center. Each site is run separately but works within the same regulatory structure.

Specific license numbers are not confirmed in the sources reviewed. If you need formal documentation, the official Government of New Brunswick gaming and lotteries resources are where that information is kept.

Casino NB in the Broader Moncton Context

Casino NB sits inside the larger Magnetic Hill area, which is a cluster of attractions rather than a single stop. Nearby spots include Magnetic Hill Zoo and Magic Mountain, so the neighbourhood around the resort functions as a small leisure hub for families and adult visitors alike. Casino New Brunswick has been in operation since 2010, making it a well-established anchor in the Moncton tourism landscape.

Within that cluster, Casino NB acts as the anchor property, combining gaming, hotel rooms, dining and a live performance venue at one address.

Guests who have visited other Great Canadian Entertainment properties elsewhere in the country will often recognize the general feel here. You will find similar service standards, comparable casino floor management and a familiar hotel experience, adapted to the Atlantic Canada setting. The Moncton resort is set up as a regional destination, with visitors coming from across New Brunswick and neighbouring provinces, not just the local city.

If you are traveling from outside the province, it usually makes sense to treat Casino NB and the Magnetic Hill area as part of a fuller trip. The combination of resort facilities and nearby attractions supports more than just a quick stop on the highway.

Planning Your Visit Around the Property Layout

Because Casino NB spans three distinct buildings in one linear design, it helps to think about which part of the complex you are heading to before you arrive. The hotel, casino, and entertainment and convention centre each have their own entrance points and flow. If your evening includes dinner, a show, and time on the gaming floor, mapping out that sequence in advance means less backtracking between buildings. The same logic applies to guests combining a spa appointment with table games: the table games section does not open until 4:00 PM, which lines up naturally with a mid-afternoon spa visit followed by an evening at the tables.
