Season & Holiday Adjustments

During New Zealand public holidays, such as Christmas or Waitangi Day, operating hours may be adjusted. Additionally, during peak tourist seasons, some venues may introduce extra sessions or extended dining hours. We make sure to note these changes well in advance. If you are planning a visit during a busy period, it is always wise to double-check these details with our reception.

Maintenance Windows

To maintain our high standards, gaming halls occasionally undergo scheduled maintenance. This is usually done during the quietest periods of the week—typically between 04:00 and 08:00 on Tuesday mornings—to minimize disruption. During these times, certain areas or machines may be temporarily unavailable. Our goal is to ensure that when you are on the floor, everything is in perfect working order.

Special Events Impact

When large-scale events, such as major sporting finals or a seasonal festival, are taking place in Auckland, our venues often adjust their schedules to match the local energy. This might mean extra live entertainment or special viewing parties in the lounges. These adjustments are reflected in our real-time updates to help you be part of the excitement.

Facility Notes

  • Private function rooms may be reserved; availability of suites is subject to event bookings.

  • Quiet hours typically observed in hospitality wings between 23:00 and 07:00.

  • Proof of age (18+) is mandatory for entry to all gaming and lounge areas.
