The line between two rooms

Where the province splits

Of 55 towns and cities of Nova Scotia on the map, 39 are nearer to the Halifax casino in a straight line. The other 16 are nearer to the Sydney casino. The line where both casinos are equally far passes between Trenton and Antigonish. Trenton and New Glasgow fall on the Halifax side, with New Glasgow 127 km from Halifax and 200 km from Sydney.

Antigonish sits just past that line. It is 165 km from Halifax and 151 km from Sydney, so it leans to Sydney. Mulgrave and Canso are nearer to Sydney as well, and so is every Cape Breton town on the map.

How distances are measured

Each distance in this guide is a straight line between two map points. One is the OpenStreetMap position of a casino building, the other the OpenStreetMap point of one of 55 towns and cities (© OpenStreetMap contributors). Roads are longer than straight lines, especially where water lies between a town and a casino. The guide does not estimate driving times. For the actual road route, each town opens directions in Google Maps.
