Splitting a bay
Casino Nova Scotia Sydney Limits and Help
A bay is shared by whoever is coming, but a limit belongs to one person only. The tool below splits the bay among your golfers and keeps each person's floor amount apart from the golf money.

One bay, several golfers
Each bay takes up to 6 golfers, and the casino has two of them, Bay 1 and Bay 2. Clubs are provided in-house, so nobody has to carry a bag in. For a group or a corporate event, the line is 902-563-7794.
This guide prints no prices. The bay rate is quoted when you book at 902-563-7703, up to one month ahead. Once you have that figure, divide it among whoever is coming before the night, not at the last hole. A booking is released if nobody has arrived 15 minutes after the start time, so settle the split early and show up on time.
Split the bay, keep your limit
The rate is the one quoted when you book; this guide prints no prices.
Up to 6 golfers play in one bay, and there are 2 bays. Divide the rate quoted when you book by the number of golfers before the night. Floor money is separate: decide it, and a time to stop, at home.
Your own number
The round is the plan, and it is paid for once the bay is split. Time on the floor afterwards is optional, and a golf night needs no gambling at all. Some of your group will head home after the last hole, and that is a full evening.
Anyone planning to play decides two things before leaving home: a budget and a stopping time. The budget never comes out of the golf money. Once it runs out, the night on the floor ends, with no chasing what was lost. Should stopping turn hard, the province's mental health and addictions crisis line picks up at 1-888-429-8167 at any hour, every day.

Before you tee off
- Will a group of eight fit in a single bay?
- Not in one bay. Each bay takes up to 6 golfers, so a group of eight would book both, Bay 1 and Bay 2, by calling 902-563-7703.
- Can someone talk to a person about gambling inside the building?
- Just inside the main entrance, staff at the casino's Responsible Gambling Resource Centre, phone 902-563-3797, offer confidential support and information about self-exclusion.
- Does a self-exclusion include the restaurants?
- Yes, it reaches past the gaming floor. The Voluntary Self-Exclusion Program covers the gaming floor, restaurants and entertainment venues at both casinos, Halifax and Sydney. Self-excluded people cannot win prizes.
