Casino Nova Scotia leaving downtown Halifax for Dartmouth Crossing
Summary
The Nova Scotia government has announced that Casino Nova Scotia’s Halifax location will be moving to Dartmouth Crossing. A new agreement has been signed with Great Canadian Entertainment, who will own, operate, and maintain the new facility, expected to be completed by 2029. The province aims to capitalize on Dartmouth Crossing’s superior transportation links, hotels, and retail presence. The current waterfront casino property will be put up for sale, and the move is expected to generate continued revenue for the province, supporting healthcare and education. While the Sydney casino will remain, the Halifax casino, opened in 1995 and last renovated in 2017, generated $41.5 million for the province last year. HRM has stated there are no plans for a new ferry terminal at the current casino site.
