This should come as little surprise to most residents of New Zealand, with the Department of Internal Affairs reporting that New Zealanders lost over 2.3B in 2017 across the 4 main sectors of regulated gambling (TAB racing and sports betting, NZ Lotteries products, gaming machines- outside casinos and casino gambling) which, for a country of 4.7 million people (approx 75-80% of which are of legal gambling age) is a rather eye-opening statistic. With all gambling activity in New Zealand regulated and controlled by the Department of Internal Affairs, players are offered a variety of vehicles and venues at the ready, quite willing to help them allocate their gambling dollars. Residents of New Zealand who are inclined to place a bet, play the lotto, spin the pokie reels or hit the tables to try their luck with games of cards & chance will find they don't have to look very far in their search for an opportunity to do so within New Zealand's borders. It's said by some that Gambling has been found in New Zealand for almost as long as people have been found in New Zealand, others say gambling has been there longer.
