Hosted casino events
around Queenstown

Our casino events calendar runs all year — tournament nights, jazz-and-roulette salons and one very dressed-up winter gala. Book a seat and we handle the venue, the table and the ride home.

This season's casino events

Four regular nights we host with our venue partners — seats are capped, so booking ahead genuinely matters.

Monthly · Sat Poker tournament table under warm lights $85 seat

Queenstown Poker Championship

A friendly-but-serious monthly tournament on the Crown Alpine's casino floor — 40 seats, a proper dealer rotation and a leaderboard that resets each season.

40 seatsBuy-in + dinnerPrizes, not cash stakes
Fridays Jazz trio performing by roulette wheel $45 entry

Roulette & Jazz Night

The Golden Fern's parlour, a live trio, and a roulette wheel that spins between sets. Dinner package available — our most relaxed casino night of the week.

Live bandDinner optionArrowtown
July only Gala evening ballroom with guests $160 ticket

Winter Gala Evening

Once a year, black tie: a casino night with champagne on arrival, a four-course dinner and tables running till late. Sells out every July — plan ahead.

First Sat Whisky glasses and baccarat table $120 seat

Whisky & Baccarat Salon

A slow, small evening at the Lakeview Grand: a guided whisky flight, then a hosted casino table playing baccarat with a croupier who explains every hand. Sixteen guests max.

Guest notes

From last season's tables

"Came 9th in the casino poker championship and I'm still dining out on the story. Superbly run night."

Owen T. — Christchurch

"The whisky salon was the perfect fancy date — learned baccarat, drank incredible scotch, home by midnight."

Freya & Dom — Dunedin

"Roulette & Jazz was the surprise highlight of the trip — dressed up, danced, lost $40 happily."

Isabel R. — Buenos Aires

Before you grab a seat

Event questions

Group bookings, birthdays, corporate nights — email the team and we'll build something custom.

Not at all — every event has a hosted warm-up where the croupier explains the rules. Poker night is the only one where a little homework helps.

Entry, your seat at the table, transfers both ways and — depending on the night — dinner or drinks. Your own table spend is on you.

Yes — groups of 6+ can take over a casino table at most events. Mention it in the booking request and we'll price it as a package.

Easy — every venue on our partner list does late checkout for event guests. We'll bundle it into one booking.

Strictly 18+

All hosted casino evenings are for guests aged 18 and over. Bring valid photo ID — venues check at the door and won't bend on this.

Keep it fun

  • Set your spend limit before you arrive, and treat it like a ticket price — not a way to make money.
  • Losses aren't a debt to chase. When the budget's done, the bar and the band are still good.
  • Sit the night out if you're tired, stressed or deep into the whisky flight.
  • Every casino venue offers voluntary self-exclusion and staff trained to help — just ask.

Gambling should be entertainment — never income. It can be addictive and cause real harm to finances and relationships. If it stops feeling like a good night out, talk to someone. Help in NZ is free, confidential and available 24/7.
