The Halifax casino is about to have a new home after 25 years.

The province says they have signed an agreement with casino operator Great Canadian Entertainment, to allow the company to build a new Casino Nova Scotia in Dartmouth Crossing.

It will be owned, operated and maintained by Great Canadian Entertainment.

The current building on the waterfront will be listed for sale in the coming weeks, but operations will continue until the new facility is built.

“We are pleased to have reached an agreement with Great Canadian Entertainment for a new, modern casino in Dartmouth. Great Canadian has the expertise and track record we need to ensure the continued success of casino operations in our province,” said acting Finance and Treasury Board Minister Timothy Halman. “This move also creates an opportunity for new development in downtown Halifax.”

The Sydney casino will remain where it is.

Nova Scotia made $41.6 million from casino operations in Halifax and Sydney last year.
