Crossing the line
New Brunswick runs on Atlantic time. Clocks go forward at 2 AM on the second Sunday in March and back at 2 AM on the first Sunday in November. All of Maine keeps Eastern time, and so does Québec west of 63 degrees West, with the change on the same Sundays. That keeps New Brunswick one hour ahead all year. Venue hours here are local Atlantic time, so the Eastern-side clock reads one hour earlier.
Door rules differ from venue to venue. Casino New Brunswick admits guests 19 and older with valid government photo ID, such as a driver's licence, a passport or a provincial ID card. Grey Rock Casino admits guests 19 and older with a valid government-issued photo ID, checked for those who look 25 or under. Wolastoq Casino shows 19+ on its home page and names no ID document for entry. Tobique Gaming Center publishes no minimum age and no ID rule.
None of the four venues' pages says anything specific to visitors from the United States. Border-crossing rules are not covered here. For the Maine side, the From Maine page sets out the venues by distance from Madawaska, Fort Kent, Presque Isle and Houlton.

From Nova Scotia and PEI
Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick share Atlantic time. Crossing between them changes nothing on the clock, and a venue's published hours read the same in Halifax as in Moncton.
Casino New Brunswick in Moncton is the nearest venue in a straight line from Amherst, Summerside, Charlottetown and Halifax. Amherst sits 61.9 km away and Summerside 88.8 km. From Charlottetown the line runs 135.4 km, from Halifax 193.1 km.
Its hotel has 126 rooms and suites, with check-in from 4 PM and check-out by 11 AM. Parking on site is free, and included in the room rate for hotel guests. The From Nova Scotia and PEI page gathers more for readers on that side.
To Casino New Brunswick
Playing online in New Brunswick
Atlantic Lottery products, including ALC.ca, are 19+ to buy, play or redeem. The province says ALC.ca is the only legal and regulated online gambling platform in New Brunswick. Atlantic Lottery says other gambling sites cannot legally operate or advertise in Atlantic Canada. It adds that overseas licences do not change this.
This site works differently. Its home page carries paid links, marked Ad, that lead to a private online casino. That casino is not ALC.ca, and it is not run or licensed by the province. Nor is it connected with Atlantic Lottery or any venue in this guide. ALC.ca player tools such as Take a Break and its limits do not apply there.
The site earns a commission from those links, and the partner can change. More on all of this sits on the page Online Gambling in New Brunswick.

What is the time difference with Québec and Maine?
New Brunswick is one hour ahead of Maine and of Québec west of 63 degrees West, all year. All three change their clocks on the same Sundays, so the Eastern-side clock reads one hour earlier.
