Pick a day and a time. Each row is a part of a casino; each column is a room. "Not published" means the casino gives no hours for it.
| Part of the casino | Halifax | Sydney |
|---|---|---|
| Slot floor | hours not published | hours not published |
| Live table games | daily 2 p.m. to 3 a.m. | no live tables in Sydney |
| High-limit area | daily 5 p.m. to 4 a.m. | none published |
| Poker | Wednesday to Saturday, 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. | no poker in Sydney |
| Golf simulators | no golf simulators in Halifax | daily 11 a.m. to 3 a.m.; last booking 10 p.m. |
| Restaurant and bar | 3Sixty, May Garden: hours on the casinos' page | Celtic Junction: hours on the casinos' page |
Atlantic time in both rooms. Past midnight the grid still counts the night before, so Saturday at 1 a.m. is Friday night.
Halifax hours
Live table games on the main floor at Casino Nova Scotia Halifax are open daily from 2 p.m. to 3 a.m. The high-limit area, a room with higher table limits, is open daily from 5 p.m. to 4 a.m. Poker runs Wednesday to Saturday from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. Hours for the slot floor are not published, and this guide does not print restaurant hours.
Times on this page are Atlantic time, the clock of both casinos. A time after midnight belongs to the night before. That means 1 a.m. on Saturday is still Friday night, and the live tables are open then. Poker on Saturday night ends at 2 a.m. on Sunday.
Sydney hours
Casino Nova Scotia Sydney has no live table games and no poker, so there are no table hours to check. Live tables and poker are at the Halifax casino only. The golf simulators, which are only at the Sydney casino, run daily from 11 a.m. to 3 a.m. The last booking of the day is taken at 10 p.m. Bookings are made by phone at 902-563-7703.
Hours for the slot floor are not published. Hours for the Celtic Junction Bar & Grille, a restaurant and bar with a full menu, are not printed in this guide.
Hours that are not published
Neither casino publishes hours for its slot floor, so this guide does not print any. A call to the casino before a late trip settles the question. The Halifax casino answers at 902-425-7777, and the Sydney casino at 902-563-7777. Restaurant hours are not printed here either. Holiday hours should be checked on the casinos' own page, greatcanadian.com/destinations/nova-scotia/halifax-sydney/.
