Start with the five-venue map
Use the national map to identify Auckland, Hamilton, Christchurch, Queenstown or Dunedin. Do not treat Class 4 pokie venues or closed Wharf records as alternatives in the active casino set.
Choose the right regional handoff
Auckland and Hamilton belong to North Island planning. Christchurch, Queenstown and Dunedin belong to South Island planning. Local routes and neighbourhood details should be maintained by those regional owners.
Check volatile information
Opening hours, events, restaurant reservations, parking, public transport and accessibility arrangements can change. Confirm them through the official venue and official transport source.
Prepare for entry
The minimum age for a land-based casino gambling area is 20. Bring current photo identification accepted by the venue and do not enter if an exclusion applies.
Plan limits and support
Set time and spending limits before arrival. Gambling is not a way to earn income. The Gambling Helpline is available on 0800 654 655 or by free text to 8006.
Sources and checking
Material claims use primary New Zealand sources and carry a factual check date. See Sources and updates and Corrections.
