Gambling was introduced into New Zealand by the Europeans and flourished after 1840. The first thoroughbred horse was imported in 1840 and gaming legislation passed in 1881. Lotteries were legalised in 1949 and in 1977 the Gaming and Lotteries Act was passed
Lotteries in New Zealand are conducted by the government owned New Zealand Lotteries Commission via 1,217 outlets. Casinos operate table games and slots via six locations on the north and south islands and located in Auckland, Hamilton and two in Queenstown which are operated by SkyCity plus two independents in Dunedin and Christchurch. No further casinos are permitted under legislation at the moment. Gaming machines are operated in pubs and clubs and are classed as Class 4 gaming if they are outside of casinos. Today there are a total of 1,343 gaming venues with 17,320 gaming machines. Of this Auckland City region has the biggest 6.8 per cent share in the number of sites and seven per cent in the number of machines followed by North Shore City and Wellington City.
TAB racing and sports betting increased by 4.9 per cent whilst spending on lotteries rose by 3.5 per cent last year. Casino gambling saw an increase of eight per cent mainly due to growth across Sky City’s casinos and the Christchurch casino reopening after the 2011 earthquake.
