Just off the hotel lobby, the Casino opens daily at 18:00 and runs until 3:00am. Slot machines - pokies, as they’re known here - line one side of the floor, while blackjack, roulette and poker are dealt at the tables. The slots run from single-line cabinets to linked progressive jackpots. The casino bar serves Central Otago wine and a short cocktail list until closing, live music plays from the corner stage on Friday and Saturday evenings, and entry is complimentary for hotel guests and visitors alike.
Entry is restricted to persons aged 20 and over, and photo ID is checked at the door in accordance with the Gambling Act 2003. All gaming takes place here on our floor in Queenstown - no online gaming is offered.
Host responsibility is part of how the Casino runs. Our staff are trained to recognise problem gambling, breaks away from the tables are encouraged, self-exclusion is available on request, and there are no ATMs on the gaming floor.
