Currently, the rest of New Zealand is at Alert Level 2, which includes SkyCity properties in Hamilton and Queenstown. Auckland’s property was also operational for some time but was returned to a higher level due to an outbreak within the city.

Re-opening Auckland’s venue will mean implementing “the same physical distancing and hygiene measures” that are currently in place for the other company’s casinos.

At Alert Level 2, gatherings in Auckland will be restricted to 10 people, which would limit the number of guests that are permitted to enter the casino. The New Zealand Government intends to review the Alert Levels on September 6.
