About Gambling in Otago

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

Otago hosts two of New Zealand’s five licensed casinos: SkyCity Queenstown in Queenstown and Grand Casino Dunedin in Dunedin. Beyond those two licensed casinos, Otago contains 45 DIA-licensed pokie venues running a combined ~560 pokies machines across Dunedin, the Queenstown Lakes, and inland towns.

Is There a Licensed Casino in the Otago Region?

Yes — two. Grand Casino Dunedin opened in 1999 in the heritage Southern Cross Hotel building on High Street and runs blackjack, roulette, baccarat, Caribbean Stud Poker, and around 150 gaming machines. Queenstown hosts SkyCity Queenstown on Beach Street, operated by SkyCity Entertainment Group. Queenstown’s second casino — the Wharf Casino at Steamer Wharf — closed in March 2020 and surrendered its licence in March 2024.

Which Cities in Otago Have Pokie Venues?

Dunedin holds the largest pokie footprint — 21 pokie venues across the CBD, North Dunedin, South Dunedin, and Mosgiel. Queenstown adds 4 pokie venues alongside SkyCity Queenstown. Cromwell and smaller Central Otago towns including Alexandra and Wanaka carry another 10 venues between them. Balclutha and the Clutha district account for the remainder. Full per-city detail is on each city directory page.

Licensing and Regulation in Otago

The 45 pokie venues in Otago operate under Class 4 licences issued by the Department of Internal Affairs under the Gambling Act 2003. Territorial consents sit with Dunedin City Council, Queenstown-Lakes District Council, Central Otago District Council, Clutha District Council, and Waitaki District Council. Each runs its own Class 4 policy. The $2.50 per-spin stake cap and 18-machine-per-venue cap apply. Grand Casino Dunedin and SkyCity Queenstown operate under separate casino operator’s licences.

Play Responsibly in Otago

The Gambling Helpline on 0800 654 655 is free, confidential, and available 24/7 from anywhere in New Zealand, including Queenstown and Dunedin. The Problem Gambling Foundation delivers counselling services across Otago. Both Otago casinos participate in the national multi-venue self-exclusion scheme — self-exclusion at either is enforceable at all five NZ casinos. Pokie venues support single-venue self-exclusion under DIA host-responsibility rules. See responsible gambling for the full support list.
