New Zealand

Auckland, New Zealand

New Zealand is an island country located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean and is huge when it comes to gambling. Gambling is controlled by the country's Department of Internal Affairs with $2.034 billion on expenditures in 2008. There are six casinos that operate in New Zealand, including the Dunedin Casino, the Christchurch Casino, and four SKYCITY casinos located in various New Zealand cities.

In addition, there are hundreds of racetracks, bingo halls, and sports betting shops across the country. Online gambling, however, is fairly limited with only a few strictly regulated national lottery and sports betting sites available. The country does not block its citizens from using foreign sites though, so many people opt to play on the ones that accept players from New Zealand.
