OUR COMMITMENT TO CUSTOMER CARE

The team at Christchurch Casino take our responsibilities as a host absolutely seriously, with a focus on customer care in all we do. We also work on continuous improvement, as research and technology allow us to do things better.

As a locally owned and operated casino, we acknowledge our position and profile both in New Zealand’s tourism and hospitality industry and within our own Christchurch, Canterbury community. Our aim is to invest in innovative ways to prevent and minimise harm and achieve best-practice in Host Responsibility.

Our Host Responsibility Programme is reviewed regularly and is involves input from key stakeholders, including non-governmental organisations and government departments.
