The dark window
None of the three casinos is open 24/7. By their published hours in Atlantic Time, all three are dark from 3 AM to 10 AM every day. On Monday to Friday mornings, the dark starts earlier, at 2 AM. Grey Rock goes out at midnight Sunday to Thursday, and at 2:30 AM after Friday and Saturday nights. Wolastoq Casino keeps one schedule, 10:00 AM to 2:00 AM, seven days a week.
The last light to go out is Casino New Brunswick in Moncton. Its slots run 10 AM to 3 AM on Friday and Saturday, so a Friday night ends early Saturday morning. Sunday to Thursday, the floor closes at 2 AM. Holiday hours should be checked on the venue's own site.
Getting there
In Moncton, Casino New Brunswick has an integrated hotel with 126 rooms and suites, a pool, a gym and meeting rooms. Check-in begins at 4 PM and check-out is by 11 AM. Guests must be 19 or older to check in or to reserve. Parking is free on site and included in the room rate.
Grey Rock Casino sits right off the Trans-Canada Highway. An enclosed pedway joins it to the Quality Hotel at 110 Chief Joanna Boulevard, phone 506-737-2000. The hotel keeps 15 heated garages for snowmobilers, with direct access to ATV and snowmobile trails. RVs can park in a designated area of the lot. Grey Rock suggests reserving through its recommended RV service, since those bookings get priority when the space fills up.
Wolastoq Casino runs a free shuttle both ways from downtown Fredericton. Saint John has no venue in this guide. From Market Square, Wolastoq is 90.5 km away in a straight line.
Rules
The New Brunswick Lotteries and Gaming Corporation (NBLGC) is a Crown corporation established on June 26, 2008 under the Gaming Control Act. It develops, organizes, conducts and manages provincial lottery and gaming activities. Two private service providers run casino gaming for it: Great Canadian Gaming New Brunswick at Casino New Brunswick, and Grey Rock Entertainment Center Inc. at Grey Rock Casino. Wolastoq Casino describes itself as proudly owned and operated by Saint Mary's First Nation, and supports over 130 team members.
All three casinos are 19+. Casino New Brunswick asks for valid government photo ID, such as a driver's licence, passport or provincial ID card. Guests there who look younger than 30 may be asked for a second piece. Grey Rock requires valid government-issued photo ID and checks it for guests who appear to be 25 or under.
Online
The province states that ALC.ca is the only legal and regulated online gambling platform in New Brunswick. Atlantic Lottery requires players to be 19+ to purchase, play or redeem its products, ALC.ca included.
Atlantic Lottery also says other gambling sites cannot legally operate or advertise in Atlantic Canada under Canadian and provincial law. It adds that claims of being licensed and regulated overseas do not change this.
This guide's home page carries paid links, marked Ad. They lead to a private online casino site that is not ALC.ca and is not run or licensed by the province. The site earns a commission on those links, and the partner can change. Inner pages carry no paid links.
