Concert night
A concert night
The Molson Canadian Centre is the concert venue at Casino New Brunswick. Tickets are sold only through Ticketmaster, and the box office opens 90 minutes before 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. Each needs valid government photo ID, such as a driver's licence, a passport or a provincial ID card. The Hub City Pub and The Buffet sit on the casino floor, so the same age rule applies there. Guests who look under 30 may be asked for a second piece, such as a provincial health card.
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
The province names ALC.ca as the only legal and regulated online gambling platform in New Brunswick. Atlantic Lottery runs it and offers Digital Instants, iBingo and iCasino. Atlantic Lottery says other online gambling sites cannot legally operate or advertise in Atlantic Canada, even with an overseas licence. New Brunswick has no licensing scheme for private online operators.
Paid links on this page lead to a private online casino partner that is not named and can change. The guide does not vouch for it, since no private online casino is legal in New Brunswick. Links to the casino, the province and help services are never paid. More on this sits on the guide's online page.
