Nova Scotia's sanctioned online casino could launch this spring.
The Atlantic Lottery Corporation launched a website specifically for New Brunswick last summer, with intentions of expanding to the other Atlantic provinces subject to sign-off from the respective governments.
According to a spokesperson for the Nova Scotia Gaming Corporation, costs incurred to develop "online casino-style games" will be shared by the provinces that offer the service.
"Currently, it is estimated that Nova Scotia's cost will be $3.1 million," Jillian Moore said in an email.
