There is no Casino in Wairarapa. So what's the problem? People may think we are not at great risk compared to somewhere like Auckland, Hamilton, Christchurch, Dunedin or Queenstown.

The experience of problem gambling services in these places is that, even though there is a casino (or two casinos in the case of Queenstown), the majority of the gambling problems (80%-90%) come from pokie machines outside of casinos.
