What makes a casino different from a pokies venue?
In New Zealand, only six venues hold a Class 3 casino licence under the Gambling Act 2003 — the six listed above. These are the only sites legally allowed to operate casino table games (blackjack, roulette, baccarat, poker) alongside gaming machines.
Every other licensed gambling venue in New Zealand is a pokies pub or club. Pokies venues only offer gaming machines, capped at 18 machines per venue and a $2.50 maximum stake per spin. They sit on a different licence class (Class 4) and are regulated by the Department of Internal Affairs.
