About Gambling in Marlborough

By Tim Jensen · Senior Venue Researcher · Last reviewed April 2026

The Marlborough region has no licensed casino. It hosts 13 DIA-licensed pokie venues across Blenheim, Picton, Havelock, and smaller district towns, running a combined ~160 pokies machines under the Gambling Act 2003. Blenheim is the dominant hub, serving both local residents and travellers arriving via the Picton ferry terminal.

Is There a Licensed Casino in the Marlborough Region?

No. Marlborough residents and visitors travel to Christchurch Casino for the nearest licensed casino — roughly a 4-hour drive south along State Highway 1, or a short flight. The Gambling Act 2003 caps national casino licences at six and none sit in Marlborough. All DIA-licensed venues in the region are Class 4 pokie venues hosted in pubs and clubs.

Which Towns in Marlborough Have Pokie Venues?

Blenheim holds the largest concentration with 3 pokie venues in the CBD and surrounding suburbs. Picton has 1 venue near the ferry terminal, and Havelock on Pelorus Sound also carries 1. The balance of the region’s 13 venues sits across smaller Marlborough District towns and the Awatere and Wairau valleys. Full per-venue detail is on the Marlborough city directory above.

Licensing and Regulation in Marlborough

All 13 pokie venues in Marlborough operate under Class 4 licences issued by the Department of Internal Affairs under the Gambling Act 2003. Territorial consent sits with Marlborough District Council — a unitary authority handling both regional and district responsibilities. The council runs its own Class 4 venue policy. The $2.50 per-spin stake cap and 18-machine-per-venue cap apply across every licensed venue.
