Grand Casino Dunedin Slot Machines

Electronic Gaming Machines at Our Venue

Our floor at 118 High Street holds more than 150 electronic gaming machines, all inside the Scenic Hotel Southern Cross. Pokies open daily at noon. Fridays and Saturdays, we go until 2am, sometimes later if there’s a crowd. Machines take bets from 1 cent right up to $1 a line, so you can pick your style or just change it up across the floor.

We connect every machine to our Grand Rewards system. As you play, points start adding up without you needing to think about it. Check your balance in the app or ask our staff at the desk. Those points swap for food credits, tickets, prize draws - simple as that.

We’ve designed the floor so moving around is easy. There’s clear signposting if you’re searching for something specific. Wheelchair access is sorted - machines spaced out for comfort, restrooms and entry ramps all there. Staff walk the area, ready to help fix jams, answer machine questions, or just help out if you ever feel stuck. Responsible gaming support is always an option too.

Pokies, Slot Types, and Bets

You’ll see mostly video pokies here, 5-reel and 3-reel, stacked with bonus rounds or multipliers. Multi-line games let you choose from anywhere between 9 and 50 lines per spin. Some slots link up to a progressive jackpot, and you’ll spot the current totals flashing overhead. For a shot at the full jackpot, you’ll need to lay the biggest bet.

Standard machines work with their own paytables. Touchscreen or physical buttons - up to you. Switch from 1c, 2c, 5c, 10c, 20c, 50c, and $1 credits, depends on the game. Minimum wagers start at 1c for a single line, premium machines can take up to $50 or more each spin.

Grand Rewards and Member Perks

Sign up once at the front desk and you’re in. Play pokies or tables, and turnover gets turned into points, at a set rate. If you keep your account active, points never expire. Starting members get steady points and into monthly draws. Higher tiers - those come with faster points, earlier invites to events, and even meal vouchers if you play enough each year.

Open our app to see your balances, check your tier, and look up what you can claim for rewards. Redeem at the bar or restaurant. You’ll get push notifications - double points, birthday rewards, event offers.

Rewards on the menu:

1. Meal credits for the Grand Bar & Restaurant
2. Event tickets for music and theme nights
3. Entries into our monthly cash draws

Before longer visits, check your tier- sometimes there’s bonuses there you never noticed.

Table Games You’ll Find

Our main floor features 14 table games. Blackjack runs from $5 or $10 a hand, depending on what time it is. Roulette is European, with one zero, inside and outside bets covered. Baccarat? We’ve got it - standard player/banker, tie bets available for bigger payouts.

For poker, you’ll want the Caribbean Stud tables. You take on the dealer, and if you want, there’s a progressive side bet that’s tidy when it drops. Bingo room seats 130, with sessions all week - no pen needed, since terminals handle your cards and announce the winners. Payouts change with the crowd.

Getting In and Opening Hours

Bring your photo ID - 20 is our age minimum. You’ll need a current NZ driver’s license, passport, or Kiwi Access Card. Security checks ID every single time before letting you in.

We open at noon every day, close at midnight during the week, extend till 2 or 3am on weekends if things are buzzing. Closed on Good Friday and Christmas; on some holidays we knock off early. Big weekends (sports finals and such) might see longer hours.

No need to log into WiFi in the venue, just connect for free. Parking is sorted for members - up to four hours validated next door at Scenic Hotel. If that’s full, check for city street parks or nearby council lots.

Ramps at the entry, space between machines, and accessible restrooms keep us wheelchair-friendly. Staff will help with seating and access if you need. Inside, there’s no smoking - but outdoor smoking zones sit by the main entrance.

Dining at Grand Bar & Restaurant

Our kitchen is open from midday, seven days. We stick to New Zealand classics, sometimes with a twist, menus updated to match what’s in season. Order through the website’s contact form or just call us and we’ll book you in.

Food covers starters, mains, desserts, plus the bar has NZ wines, local beers, and all the usual spirits - cocktails in the evening. Our regulars like the lamb, seafood platters, and we’ve got vegetarian as well. Prices sit in the mid-range for Dunedin.

Loyalty members use their points to pay straight off the bill, with our system figuring out how many are needed. If you’re not in the program, pay as normal - cash, card, or EFTPOS. For bigger events, functions, or private get-togethers, we handle group bookings and even help plan food and seating.

Responsible Gambling Comes First

We take player wellbeing seriously. You can ask to ban yourself temporarily or completely with our Exclusion program - just fill the form at customer service, pick how long, and you’re locked out for that time.

Our staff get trained to watch for distress or signs of problem gambling. If someone looks like they might need support, we have steps for offering help - pointing toward breaks, info on limits, or professional resources. You’ll find responsible gaming guides around the floor and ATMs, plus contact details for the Gambling Helpline.

Set personal spend limits in the app. Cap your daily, weekly, or monthly bets, and we’ll alert you if you get close. Changing your caps takes a day to kick in, so it’s never an impulse.

Casino App and Online Features

The Grand Casino app is designed for iPhones and Androids. It’ll show your Rewards, tier standing, promotions, plus our restaurant menu and event calendar, all without needing the website.
