New casino to be built at Dartmouth Crossing to replace Halifax location

On Wednesday, the Nova Scotia provincial government announced a deal with Great Canadian Entertainment to build, own, operate, and maintain a new Casino Nova Scotia at Dartmouth Crossing.
After years of weak performance, Casino Nova Scotia had struggled for almost a decade before COVID-19 pandemic closures, and officials considered alternative sites including one in the Bayers Lake area years ago.
The government said the Halifax waterfront casino building, renovated in 2017, will be listed for sale in the coming weeks and remain open during construction of the new facility.
The move opens space for downtown Halifax development, with the Halifax property set for sale in the coming weeks while the Sydney location remains in place and revenue hit $41.6 million last year.
Acting Finance and Treasury Board Minister Timothy Halman said Great Canadian has the expertise and track record needed to ensure continued success of Casino Nova Scotia, which employed 750 when opened in 2000.
