About Gambling in Taranaki

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

Taranaki has no licensed casino. It hosts 33 DIA-licensed pokie venues across New Plymouth, Stratford, Hāwera, Waitara, and smaller towns, running a combined ~450 pokies machines under the Gambling Act 2003. New Plymouth is the dominant hub, accounting for roughly half the region’s venues.

Is There a Licensed Casino in the Taranaki Region?

No. Taranaki residents and visitors travel to SkyCity Hamilton for the nearest licensed casino — roughly a 4-hour drive north through the central North Island. The Gambling Act 2003 caps national casino licences at six and none sit in Taranaki. All DIA-licensed venues in the region are Class 4 pokie venues hosted in pubs and clubs.

Which Cities in Taranaki Have Pokie Venues?

New Plymouth holds the largest concentration with 15 pokie venues across the CBD, Fitzroy, and Moturoa. Stratford and Waitara each carry 2 venues, and Hāwera and Inglewood host 1 each. Smaller rural towns including Ōpunake, Eltham, and Urenui account for the balance. Full per-city detail is on each city directory page.

Licensing and Regulation in Taranaki

All 33 pokie venues in Taranaki operate under Class 4 licences issued by the Department of Internal Affairs under the Gambling Act 2003. Territorial consents sit with New Plymouth District Council, Stratford District Council, and South Taranaki District Council — each runs its own Class 4 policy. New Plymouth District Council maintains a sinking-lid approach limiting new Class 4 licences. The $2.50 per-spin stake cap and 18-machine-per-venue cap apply across every licensed venue.

Play Responsibly in Taranaki

If gambling is affecting you or someone close to you in Taranaki, call the Gambling Helpline on 0800 654 655 — free, confidential, and available 24/7. The Problem Gambling Foundation delivers counselling and harm-reduction services across New Plymouth, Stratford, and the wider region, including Māori-specific services in partnership with iwi providers. Every licensed pokie venue must display Gambling Helpline signage on the gaming floor and support single-venue self-exclusion on request. See responsible gambling for the full list.
