The SkyCity Group and SkyCity Online Casino

Are you interested to know more about SkyCity Online Casino and how it fits into the SkyCity Group?

SkyCity Online Casino is a world-class online casino offered by SkyCity Malta, a subsidiary of SkyCity Entertainment Group which is headquartered in New Zealand. Please read on for some background information about SkyCity Entertainment Group, a reputable business that has been in operation for over 20 years.

Who is SkyCity Entertainment Group?

SkyCity Entertainment Group is a world-class entertainment and casino organisation based in New Zealand and Australia. With a combined 25 restaurants, 17 bars, 2 hotels, 5 land-based casinos across 4 locations together with SkyCity Online Casino, it is New Zealand’s largest tourism, leisure and entertainment company.

The history of SkyCity Entertainment Group

SkyCity Entertainment Group has been around since 1996, officially taking over operations from previous operator, Harrah’s Entertainment, in 1998. Since opening its original casino in Auckland, New Zealand, SkyCity has expanded its operations in New Zealand to include a first Queenstown casino in 2000, Hamilton in 2002 and a second casino in Queenstown in 2012. In 2000, SkyCity assumed ownership and operational control of the Adelaide Casino in South Australia. In August 2019, SkyCity launched its online casino via a Maltese subsidiary, SkyCity Malta, in partnership with Gaming Innovation Group, Inc, a leading European based online gaming platform provider.

The SkyCity Online Casino offers high-quality host responsibility and a trusted brand. The SkyCity Online Casino is currently available exclusively to New Zealand players.

2019 was a big year for SkyCity Entertainment Group, as it also underwent a major re-brand. As a well-established brand in Australasia, the new brand was developed to better reflect the leading entertainment destination that it has become today. The new logo takes visual cues from constellation maps and pays homage to the ‘sky’ in its name, emanating the glow of lights synonymous with the entertainment industry and the iconic Sky Tower based in Auckland, New Zealand.

The future for SkyCity Entertainment Group

SkyCity Entertainment Group is continually evolving, with many new developments and projects on the horizon.

Looking ahead, with two new attractions -the All Blacks Experience and Make Believe by Weta Workshop – and the Horizon Hotel opening in Auckland, and the Adelaide Casino expansion under construction, it is fair to say that it is an exciting time for the business.
