Our Story
Established in 2008, Corporate Casino is New Zealand's premier provider of fun casino experiences. Our family-operated venture began after leaving SkyCity and settling in Tauranga following the birth of our first child. The inspiration for Corporate Casino ignited after hosting a successful casino-themed party for a relative, revealing a market need for authentic casino entertainment. With extensive experience in the casino industry across England, Australia, South Africa, and New Zealand, we set out to bring the thrill of real-world casinos to events across the North Island.
Our Mission
At Corporate Casino, we aim to deliver unparalleled, authentic casino experiences that infuse excitement and glamour into any event. We are committed to providing an experience that's not just a game but a slice of the high-stakes, thrill-infused world of casino entertainment.
