SkyCity Hamilton Submission Hearing

Last year the Gambling Commission held a public hearing for the application from SkyCity to swap three Black Jack tables for 60 pokie machines, at this public hearing, Te Kohao Health was present. SkyCity has filed four applications with the Commission to bring more gaming machines into the casino, which is the first time this has ever happened. We are concerned that if the Commission approves the swap of tables for pokies they (SkyCity) may apply to do it in all their other casinos.
