Reaching the Complex in Moncton
The venue is roughly 12 minutes from central Moncton, and several public bus stops operate nearby. Drivers follow one of two main routes depending on their origin point. No free airport shuttle is offered, so visitors arrange the hotel transfer, taxi, or public transport in advance.
Driving from Central Moncton
Head west on Mountain Road (NB-126) toward Edgett Avenue, turn left onto Casino Dr, then make a second left after roughly 150 metres to reach the entrance.
Arriving from Saint John
Take Route 1 East (NB-1) from NB-100 East toward Moncton, leave the Trans-Canada Highway (NB-2 East) at Exit 450, then follow Casino Dr to the property. Travellers comparing regional venues should note Grey Rock Casino in Edmundston (200+ slots) and Maple Shores as the nearest alternatives.
Gaming Floor and Games Available
The Las Vegas-style floor holds more than 570 slot machines, ranging from mechanical reels to video formats (titles include Game King multi-game, Sphinx 3D, Ultra Stack Lion, Prowling Panther). To play a machine, members log in by scanning a Rewards Club card, which tracks accumulated points and comp dollars on screen. Slot software is certified, with reported RTP from 90% upward and most units at 95% or higher, governed by a random number generator. The list below groups the categories on offer at Casino NB (New Brunswick).
- Slot machines (570+ units, classic reels and video slots)

Source counts place the live table total between 8 and 24 by season, with a high-limit room reserved for higher-stake players. Blackjack wagers run from CA$25 for a single hand up to CA$1,000 across three hands.

Players collect 1 reward point for every CA$1 wagered on slots, and winnings are paid at the cash desk or transferred to a bank card (Visa, MasterCard).
Table Games and Poker
The private poker room sits in the Lighthouse section and offers food, beverage service, and dedicated HD displays. A waiting list opens at 11:00 at the Rewards Desk; players sign in person, and specific seat numbers are not held.
