Casino New Brunswick

I now know what the first casino in New Brunswick will look like. Sketches on the casino proponent's website show a lighthouse looking structure with a 5 storey hotel and a convention center.

On the outskirts of Moncton, in the Magnetic Hill area, the casino will have 600 slot machines (I think this is synonymous with VLTs), 20 table games, 8 poker tables, a convention space that seats 1,500 people and a 128 room hotel.

It is unfortunate for Moncton that this isn't going in their uptown, but it should still be a tourism and employment win for the city.

The project website has sketches and details, and there is already lots of chatter about the project at the Moncton Development Forum on Skyscraper Page.
