Licensing for the public market is not available to commercial operators. Provincial gaming is conducted and managed by NBLGC under the Gaming Control Act, with ALC as operator under a shareholder/agency arrangement. The Gaming, Liquor and Security Licensing Branch within the Department of Justice and Public Safety regulates provincial gaming and licenses charitable gaming. Private casino operators (Great Canadian Gaming at Casino New Brunswick; Grey Rock Entertainment Centre) act under service-provider agreements on behalf of NBLGC rather than holding independent operating licences. Gaming suppliers and gaming assistants are subject to registration, not open licensing.
