MONCTON – The operator of Casino New Brunswick says it has reached an agreement to open a new gaming facility in northwestern New Brunswick.
Sonoco Gaming New Brunswick Ltd., which operates the casino in Moncton, says it has agreed to a gaming service provider agreement that will see it open a facility at the Grey Rock Entertainment Centre on the Madawaska Maliseet First Nation.

Sonoco says the facility will open with the approval of the New Brunswick Lotteries and Gaming Corp.
