Sky City casino:
Sky City casino is HUGE!
biggest foreign casino I've been in. Easily as big as Borgata.
Unfortunately, at least 60% of the space has Lightning/dragon link slots and clones.
Also lots of 'All Aboard' slots (about 10%).
Main Casino is on the 2nd floor. 3rd floor is additional table games.
No high limit room I've seen.
Bj is 3:2 but I didn't look at all tables.
Uth trips is 8/7/4.
Craps has Field 'Triple 2' but single 12. :(
Also has corner 6/8 bet space that pays 1:1... Ugg.
Even though there are a bazillion slots, I didn't see anything I liked enough to go through the trouble of getting NZ money (and changing it back to USD).

You can bungee jump off the Sky Tower!
That small little dot in middle of screen is a person that jumped.
He's attached to a guide rod so he goes down straight, I guess?
Website: https://www.bungy.co.nz/auckland/sky-tower/
AJ Hackett used to have a bungee tower in Vegas a couple of decades ago. https://lasvegasweekly.com/news/archive/2005/aug/04/goodbye-bungee-tower/
I jumped off it (Vegas).
No, I didn't try it here.
Even at .6x exchange rate to USD, it's not worth it for me to try again.
Also, the one in Vegas was a typical rubber band bungee cord. You flop back and forth a few times. It's like multiple bungee jumps for the price of 1.
Here, it's just a rope and a slowed decent near the bottom to that terrace at the bottom of the pic

Stats of Sky casino:
https://www.pgf.nz/understand-gambling/casinos#:~:text=In%20New%20Zealand%2C%20there%20are,Hamilton%20and%20two%20in%20Queenstown.
150 table games, 1877 slots :o
i saw a few Fully automated gaming machines but not the 240 they claim unless it's # of seats combined for them?
edit:
Also on that page, it gave this awesome advice
Don’t gamble when you’re depressed or feeling low. Decision-making can be more difficult when you’re stressed or upset.
To me, feeling Low could also be when you're bored. LEAVE!

Based on the website, I'm guessing each seat is counted as its own machine. This is based on the descriptions of "Rapid Roulette" and "Rapid Baccarat".

May the cards fall in your favor.
