Boo Casino Games

The Boo Casino lobby

Boo Casino brings together games from 48 studios, with pokies (slots) making up most of the library and a separate live casino of nearly 500 tables. The local lobby also has its own "Popular in New Zealand" row.

Studios with the most games in the lobby include Games Global and Pragmatic Play, each with over 1,000 titles, followed by Play'n GO, Wazdan, Amusnet, Betsoft, BGaming, Ruby Play and Playson. In the live casino you'll find tables from Evolution, Pragmatic Play Live, Beter Live and LuckyStreak.

Finding a game

With thousands of titles, the filters matter more than the front page. The lobby lets you browse by:

• lists such as Trending, Popular in New Zealand, New Games and Boo's Picks
• dozens of themes, from gems, ocean and wildlife to books, Vegas and seasonal Halloween collections
• features like Hold & Win, Bonus Buy, cluster pays, multipliers, respins, jackpots and low stakes
• studio, with every game from one provider on a single page
• the Play with Bonus filter, which shows only the games you can use while a bonus is active

Games marked "2x Points" earn double Complementary Points as part of the Games of the Month promotion. The Game of the Week, currently Big Bass Vegas 1000 until 16 October 2026, comes with 50 free spins on each NZ$20 deposit. Details are in the free spins guide.

Live casino

The live casino is a separate section with its own categories: Popular, Roulette, Blackjack, Other Card Games, VIP Games and Quick Play, plus game shows such as Mega Wheel. Tables are streamed from studios with real dealers, so you need a stable connection, and Wi-Fi is the better choice on mobile.

From Wednesday to Friday, Pragmatic Play Live tables qualify for 10% cashback on net losses, paid as real cash with no wagering. Baccarat and low-margin roulette bets don't count. Live casino counts only 1% towards bonus wagering, so if you mainly play live, the cashback is usually a better fit than a deposit bonus.

Playing with a bonus

Not every game is equal when you are clearing a bonus. Most pokies count 100% towards wagering, but pokies with an RTP of 96.5% or higher count only 30%, table games 8% and live casino 1%. Some games can't be played with bonus funds at all, and feature buys are not allowed while a bonus is active.

The "Play with Bonus" filter in the lobby shows the games you can use. Our bonuses page has the full wagering contribution table.

RTP and volatility

Two numbers tell you more about a pokie than its theme:

• RTP (return to player) is the share of all money bet that a game pays back over millions of spins. A 96% RTP means NZ$96 returned for every NZ$100 bet on average over the long run. It says nothing about a single session.
• Volatility describes how wins are spread. Low-volatility games pay small amounts often; high-volatility games pay less often but can pay more. Big Bass Vegas 1000, for example, is listed as medium volatility.

Both are usually shown in the game's information screen. Neither changes the fact that the house keeps an edge over time.

Can you play for free?

When we checked from New Zealand, game pages showed only a "Play for real" button to visitors who weren't logged in. If you want to try a pokie before spending money, the studio's own website often has a demo version, or you can use free spins from a promotion.

Play responsibly

Pokies are designed for entertainment, and every spin is random. Set a deposit or loss limit before you start, take breaks, and never chase losses. Our responsible gambling page explains the tools in your account and where to get free local help.
