The Petone Club’s Gaming Lounge offers a well-balanced, member-focused gaming experience built around 30 modern gaming machines. Our games mix includes the latest releases alongside a number of much-loved classics, ensuring there is genuine variety for all playing preferences, both young and old.
The Gaming Lounge is a dedicated, comfortable space within the Club, designed to feel welcoming and inclusive. Although located in separate room, it integrates naturally with our wider club offering, allowing members, affiliates, and guests to enjoy gaming as part of a broader social visit that may also include dining, hospitality, sport and entertainment elsewhere in the Members Lounge.
What truly sets our gaming operation apart is our people. We employ a hand-picked team of Gaming Attendants who work exclusively in the Gaming Lounge on a full-time basis. They do not work other areas of the Club, which allows them to build strong, genuine relationships with our players. This personalised, attentive approach creates a high level of trust, ensures strong compliance, and most importantly supports responsible gaming practices while looking after the best interests of our players, and the club.
The Petone Club is committed to providing a safe and responsible gaming environment. We exceed Class 4 gaming compliance requirements, with harm minimisation built into our everyday operations.
Through clear policies, trained staff, independent oversight, and modern monitoring systems, we actively support player wellbeing and meet all Department of Internal Affairs requirements. Our dedicated Gaming Attendants maintain constant supervision, allowing potential issues to be identified early and managed appropriately.
The Petone Club promotes safe and responsible gaming as a core part of our Class 4 operation. Our harm-minimisation approach is practical, player-focused, and embedded in everyday practice.
Dedicated, trained Gaming Attendants provide continuous supervision in the Gaming Lounge, supported by clear host responsibility procedures and advanced monitoring systems. Staff are empowered to engage with players respectfully, intervene when needed, and provide access to support and self-exclusion options.
By combining trained staff, clear processes, supportive technology, and ongoing player education, we maintain a safe, compliant gaming environment that actively supports player wellbeing.
The Petone Club is committed to continuous improvement in gaming compliance and player wellbeing. We work closely with regulators and technology partners to trial new initiatives that strengthen harm minimisation and improve the player experience.
By combining innovative technology with trained staff and strong governance, we continue to lead best practice in responsible gaming within the Class 4 sector.
The Petone Club ensures that gaming proceeds are responsibly managed and reinvested to deliver positive outcomes for both our members and the wider community.
Funds are used to support the ongoing operation and improvement of Club facilities and services, while also providing grants and sponsorships to local schools, community groups, charities, and sporting organisations. These contributions help organisations continue their work, deliver programmes, and support people in need.
By reinvesting gaming proceeds locally, the Petone Club strengthens community connections, enhances member experiences, and ensures gaming delivers genuine social benefit across Lower Hutt and beyond.
