Welcome! If you’re reading this post, it’s because you have at least some interest in casino gambling. Casinos are a huge part of the New Zealand entertainment industry, so being familiar with their rules and etiquette is crucial for anyone who lives here. Whether you’re just visiting NZ on holiday or are planning to move here for an extended period of time, it’s important that you have basic knowledge of how the local casinos are run.
1. Overview of New Zealand Casinos
There are several casinos in New Zealand. These are the casinos in New Zealand, their location, and the number of gaming tables they have.
A Kiwi Slots Experience
A Casino Slots casino is similar to a regular casino except it has slot machines driven through every 20 minutes to keep the games flowing. Each machine has two choices: King or Queen. A regular slot machine will have 2 options, face up or face down. If the players wish to play a game, they take money from the machine and slide it onto the top of the machine where a number is displayed. If they wish to play a game, and the numbers are greater than 4, they win the money. If the numbers are greater than 8, they lose money. If the number is less than 3, the players lose the money. If there are not enough numbers to play, the machine shows the numbers 0 – 9 counting from 1. If there are more numbers than 9, they put the numbers 10 – 99 and write out the entire set, and the players win.
Crown Gaming
Crown Gaming is the largest casino in New Zealand, suitable for both big funds and smaller players, and has the biggest casino floor area and biggest gaming machines in New Zealand. Crown Gaming also has odds, something I didn’t know existed in the gambling world. They are the only casinos in New Zealand to offer odds and anyone playing a game who wishes to win must pay a stated stake to the house. Establishments such as Vodina, Rainbow Mazacas, Casino del Monte Caribe, Kiwi Gaming, and Ancestry Cards give you access to such offers.
2. Rules and etiquette of casinos in New Zealand
New Zealand casinos have rules and etiquette that you should be aware of before you enter. Here are some things you need to know:
- Never touch a chip unless you plan to use it. If a chip is in front of you and you don’t plan on betting with it, make sure you throw it away.
- Never touch another player’s cards. Don’t pass your hands through theirs. This — above all else — hurts our feelings and is very disrespectful.
- Laugh if someone cracks a joke. This signals to the rest of the table that you have some social intelligence.
- Speak calmly and clearly — don’t make eye contact with another player. Doing so will make it difficult for you to communicate effectively or even understand what they’re saying.
- If you think you have a better chance of winning something by putting a bet, don’t bet. It’s against the rules and you risk being disadvantageous to yourself by taking more risks.
3. How to play casino games
The most important thing to do when playing casino games is to set a budget and stick to it. Set a limit of how much you’re willing to spend and then stick to that amount. Betting more than you can afford to lose is one of the worst things you can do because it makes it much easier to lose more than you can afford. As with any area of casino gambling, everything starts with the basics. Set up your boarding pass and check-in machine and show the operator (see the local terms and conditions to know what this means) that you are willing and able to play. Finally, play the game and adjust accordingly. Once you have won a minimum of 25 games, the operator will replace you with another player. By following these steps, you should manage to dominate and win gamers from all corners of the world, properly respecting the rules and the spirit of the game.
4. Tips for winning casino games
Casino games can be a lot of fun, but they can also be a lot of work. To have a good time playing casino games, you have to learn the rules, the strategies, and how to control your emotions. If you have a good understanding of the basics, you’ll be able to have a good time playing casino games. However, just because you know the rules, it doesn’t necessarily mean you will win any money. If you plan on playing on your own (or if hiring a manager to oversee your play at the casino), know that this could be a long, frustrating, and trial-and-error process. There are also legal implications to keep in mind, especially if you are working with top-level company officials or if you are directly dealing with the government. You can profit more playing blackjack at a bar, but that doesn’t mean you should because it’s against the terms of your visa.
5. Casino scams and how to avoid them
There are a few scams that casinos like to use to get more money out of you, and they’re all pretty easy to avoid. The first is the ATM scam. You’ll be walking through the casino and an employee will ask you if you’re playing that day. If you say “yes,” the employee will ask for your credit card, and within seconds of giving it to them, the machine will spit out hundreds of dollars. It’s not hard to block the machine from spitting out money; simply write down the serial number (and purchase a new one if necessary) and ask the employee for your PIN. There are two other scams that are common at casinos: booking a table (which requires bringing your own) and playing a slot machine and pocket lottery. Avoid these strategies and be aware that you can be refused a slot machine if it’s full.
All in all, learning the gambling laws from the government and local municipalities, and just following common sense is a good bet for staying safe and profiting from your stay in New Zealand.
