Under section 326(2)(a) of the Gambling Act 2003, it is a condition of every Class 4 venue licence and casino operator's licence, that all gambling equipment used for the purposes of the licence must comply with relevant minimum standards (view a full description of Classes of Gambling).

The Act allows for the making of minimum standards under section 327:

    Under section 327(1): The Secretary may prescribe minimum standards for the design, manufacture, and performance of any particular gambling equipment or class of gambling equipment and may at any time amend or revoke any minimum standard.

    Under section 327(2): Minimum standards may, without limitation, include requirements that gambling equipment - (a) has features designed to reduce the likelihood of problem gambling or other harm arising from its use; (b) is capable of being monitored and controlled electronically.

Minimum Equipment Standard - Harm Prevention and Minimisation

The minimum equipment standards for game and player information displays on gaming machines as required by the Gambling (Harm Prevention and Minimisation) Regulations 2004 were notified in the New Zealand Gazette on 1 September 2005.

The minimum equipment standards for game and player information displays apply to all "new gaming machines" purchased on or after 1 October 2005 and to all gaming machines after 1 July 2009.

This memo is designed to explain the scope of the definition of a "new gaming machine" as contained in the Gambling (Harm Prevention and Minimisation) Regulations 2004: Explanation of a 'New Gaming Machine' (PDF, 9K)*

Updated and consolidated versions of these standards

The harm prevention and minimisation gaming machine standards have been incorporated into the New Zealand Casino and Class 4 gambling appendices to the Australian/New Zealand Gaming Machine National Standards Revision 10.0 (see below).


Cashless Gambling

Updated July 2017

Overview

The Department wrote a position paper in 2006 to discuss Cashless Gambling (PDF, 292K)* and on what basis, if any, it should be permitted. The purpose of the paper was to consider the most appropriate response to cashless and other technologies available in New Zealand at that time.

Cashless technology in the casino sector

The casino environment has changed significantly in recent years, including advances in technology for monitoring player behaviour. Casino operating systems are now capable of analysing patterns of gambling behaviour, and offer features such as pre-commitment to support gamblers to manage their play. Casinos continue to have strict obligations around host responsibility and monitoring player behaviour.

The Department recognises that New Zealand society has become increasingly digitised and we are committed to taking a stewardship approach to regulation, adapting to a changing environment and targeting resources where they will be most effective. For these reasons, the Department decided it was appropriate to reconsider its decision on the use of cashless technology in the casino environment.

On 30 June 2017 ‘Minimum Cashless Technical Requirements for Printed Ticket-In Ticket Out and Player Loyalty Account-Based Cashless Gambling Technology’ (Cashless Standard) came into effect. This allows for cashless technology to be operated at all casinos in New Zealand within certain limitations.

For SkyCity Auckland, Minimum Technical Requirements for Cashless Gambling as contained in Schedule 14 of the New Zealand International Convention Centre Project (NZICC) and Licensing Agreement is part of a package of Regulatory Concessions that come into force upon SkyCity contracting to build an International Convention Centre in Auckland. Legislation has been passed to give legal status to the Agreement.

The significant differences between the Agreement and Cashless Standard with respect to cashless technology functionality are:
    1. White card functionality as permitted under the Agreement is not permitted by the Cashless Standard; and
    2.Electronic Transfer Limits are no longer applicable only to Gambling conducted in Restricted Areas as defined in the Agreement.

Cashless Standard requirement 1.2.1 sections (b) and (c) reference commonality considerations between the Agreement and Cashless Standard and the status of gambling equipment approved under the provisions of the Agreement.

The Department would expect that future approvals of gambling equipment would be based on our Accredited Test Facilities (ATF) recommendations made under the provisions of the Cashless Standard and that these recommendations would be consistent with the Agreement. Where this is not possible then it should be made clear what recommendations are specific to provisions of the Agreement e.g. White Card functionality.

Approvals could continue to be made solely under the provisions of the Agreement, however, it should be noted that the Australian/NZ National Standard for Gaming Machine Equipment Revision 10.0 is no longer applicable and that such recommendations may not be consistent with Requirement 1.2.1 (b).

See below for links to the Cashless Standard and the Agreement.

Cashless technology in the class 4 sector

Currently, the use of cashless technology in the class 4 sector remains limited.

The Department is aware that there is increasing interest in the use of cashless technology in the class 4 sector. Any consideration of the use of cashless technology in class 4 venues must take into account a number of factors that make the class 4 environment different from casinos. For example, casinos operate in closed environments with sophisticated monitoring systems in place to identify indicators of problem gambling. Casinos have dedicated host responsibility staff and strong harm minimisation policies that are monitored by the Gambling Commission. Casino operators also bear the cost of implementing cashless technology.

There is a review of class 4 gambling currently underway and the use of cashless technology in pubs and clubs is being considered as part of that review. The Department considers this to be the most appropriate first step in assessing the use of cashless technology in the class 4 environment.

Limited provision for cashless technology is permitted under the provisions of the Minimum Technical Requirements for Class 4 De-Centralised Off-Line Cash-In-Ticket-Out Systems of the Gambling Act (Class 4 Gambling Equipment) Minimum Standard 2004.

The minimum standards for other casino gambling equipment are as follows:

This consolidated version does not replace the official version of the rules and gambling equipment standards as found in the New Zealand Gazette. The rules and gambling equipment standards as published in the New Zealand Gazette take precedence as the official version of these rules and gambling equipment standards.

Minimum Technical Requirements for Cashless Gambling as contained in Schedule 14 of the New Zealand International Convention Centre Project and Licensing Agreement

The above agreement is part of a package of Regulatory Concessions that come into force upon SkyCity contracting to build an International Convention Centre in Auckland. Legislation has been passed to give legal status to the Agreement.

The Regulatory Concessions apply solely to SkyCity at its casino in Auckland. These concessions do not and will not apply to any other casinos in New Zealand whether owned and operated by Sky or not.

Having regard to the Gambling Act 2003 and the relevant clauses and schedules in the NZICC Act/Agreement, we consider that there is no impediment for the Secretary giving conditional approvals for related cashless gambling equipment.

It is intended that where possible the Secretary will give such conditional approvals subject to the above Regulatory Concessions coming into effect.

It is important to recognise that some such gambling equipment could be installed and operating with limited functionality prior to the above Regulatory Concessions coming into effect and/or able to be operated in other casinos in full compliance with current standards. However, this gambling equipment must not be able to provide full functionality by Sky City prior to the Regulatory Concessions coming into effect because it is either unable to do so due to set-up configuration or because the hardware/firmware is incomplete (e.g. TITO because printer is not installed and/or TITO functionality is not enabled in EGM set-up mode and in CEMS).

The method and degree of restriction should be sufficient such that to enable unrestricted functionality and operation would require significant and deliberate re-configuration and or associated changes in firmware and hardware.

Accredited Test Facilities must test gambling equipment in accordance with the above Regulatory Concessions. ATFs must clearly state in any recommendation for approval the nature of restrictions that prevent full functionality from being enabled and managed.

With respect to any recommendations made by ATFs for equipment approval:

Please list those restrictions that may permit this equipment to be installed and operated in compliance with current standards at SkyCity Auckland Casino.

If relevant, please list those restrictions that may permit this equipment to be installed and operated in compliance with current standards at casinos other than SkyCity Auckland.

It is intended that any approval of gambling equipment by the Secretary for Internal Affairs with functionality that would be required under the Regulatory Concessions should be stated as conditional on:

This assessment has been completed against the Minimum Technical Requirements for Cashless Gambling (the Standards) as contained in Schedule 14 of the New Zealand International Convention Centre Project and Licensing Agreement (the Agreement). The Standards as authorised by the New Zealand International Convention Centre Act 2013 and clause 7.3 of the Agreement come into effect on the date clause 7.4 of the Agreement is satisfied.

This application has been conditionally approved subject to the satisfaction of clause 7.4 of the Agreement and applies only to gambling equipment that may be operated at SkyCity Auckland Casino. The gambling equipment functionality referenced in this application must not be operationalised until such time as clause 7.4 of the Agreement is satisfied.

It is important that if equipment is expected to be operated in some limited functionality by Sky City Auckland or used in other casinos that we be contacted for advice if you are not sure of possible future compliance or otherwise. This applies to both manufacturers and ATFs.

Any current ATF recommendations that have yet to be approved would need to be reviewed by the ATF as complying with the above.

You can find the concessions on pages 270 – 277 of the following document:
