New Zealand-based casino operator SkyCity Entertainment Group has reopened its gaming, entertainment and hospitality facilities in Adelaide and also revealed that its recent NZ$180 million (US$115.3 million) share placing drew strong support from investors.
iGaming Business reports that consistent with its approach when re-opening casino properties in New Zealand, SkyCity’s Adelaide Casino will recommence operations in a staged manner, with reduced operating hours.
The casino had been closed for a number of months due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Other measures that will be put in place at the property include only permitting active members of its rewards programme access to the casino, with capacity subject to a maximum of one customer per two square metres at any time.
This will mean that up to 2,200 people, including patrons and staff, will be allowed inside the property.
SkyCity will also implement distancing measures, such as limiting the number of players at each gaming table, as well as introduce enhanced hygiene protocols throughout the facility.
Most food and beverage outlets will reopen at the casino, while SkyCity will put in place a new system to support contact tracing, primarily through surveillance, guest registers, identity scanning and loyalty card use.
The reopening was made possible after South Australia’s government moved to the third and final stage of reopening the state’s economy amid the relaxation of COVID-19 restrictions.

SkyCity enters into massive equity raising measures
New Zealand-based casino company SkyCity Entertainment Group has launched an A$215 million (NZ$230 million) equity raising to strengthen its balance sheet after shutting down during the coronavirus pandemic.
Perth Now reported in June that SkyCity board chairman Rob Campbell said despite encouraging trading since reopening in New Zealand, the outlook remains uncertain as the company adjusts to the new social and economic settings.
SkyCity said it had secured waivers from its debt covenants through to mid-2021 as well as NZ$160 million in new bank funding, which was contingent on SkyCity raising NZ$200 million in net funding.
“The equity raising will ensure that SkyCity remains appropriately capitalised and provides certainty to allow for the delivery of the strategic plan for the business,” Mr Campbell said.
The equity raising consists of a fully underwritten NS$180 million institutional placement and a NZ$50 million share purchase plan.
The institutional placement will be at NZ$2.50, a 6.4 per cent discount on its last closing price of NZ$2.67 on the NZX.
SkyCity said its New Zealand properties reopened last month, except for its Queenstown wharf casino, while it expected Adelaide Casino to reopen later this month.
A NZ$330 million expansion of the Adelaide Casino is still on track to be completed by October.
SkyCity said it has received an initial NZ$105 million insurance payment for the New Zealand International Convention Centre project in Auckland, which was hit by a devastating fire in October, after a worker apparently left an unattended blowtorch on the roof.
SkyCity said the NZ government had granted it a two-year extension on the NZ$750 million project, to January 2, 2025.
SkyCity announces more job cuts amid the coronavirus pandemic
SkyCity has announced that it has let go 700 more staff members amid the coronavirus pandemic.
New Zealand is one of the countries that identified and contained COVID-19 most quickly and effectively.
Its response to the pandemic was swift and thorough, but hasn’t been enough to spare more job losses at the casino, which has venues in Auckland, Christchurch and Queenstown.
Casino Aus reported in May that New Zealand did so well at the restrictive level 3 recently that officials this week moved to Level 2.

Adelaide Casino is a large casino and recreational venue on the north edge of the Adelaide city centre. Located in the heritage-listed Adelaide railway station building on North Terrace, Adelaide, the casino has 90 gaming tables and 950 gaming machines, as well as several bars, function areas and restaurants. Operated as part of the Skycity Entertainment Group, it is the sole licensed casino in South Australia, regulated by the Independent Gambling Authority and the Liquor and Gambling Commissioner (Consumer and Business Services) under the Casino Act 1997.[2]
The Casino is the 10th largest employer in South Australia, currently employing over 1100 staff members. In 2007/2008, Adelaide Casino paid over $41 million in taxes and charges to the State and Federal Governments.[citation needed]
History[edit]
The Adelaide Casino opened in December 1985, the casino licence being held by the (State-owned) Lotteries Commission which appointed Aitco Pty Ltd to establish and operate a casino on its behalf. Originally consisting of 89 gaming tables, in 1991 the casino was authorised to operate video gaming machines, and in 1993 to operate poker machines. By 1997 they totalled 674 machines.[3] The monies received by the Commission from the Casino operator include unclaimed prizes, licence fees, 13.75% of net gaming revenue from tables, and 4.0% of turnover from machines. In the year ending June 1995 the amount paid to the Government was $20.20 million.[3]
In June 2000 the casino was sold to Skycity Entertainment Group, under a new licensing regime which eliminated the separation of roles of the licensee and the operator and provided for the grant of a single casino licence. The new licensee was Skycity Adelaide Pty Ltd and the approved licensing agreement locked in 15 years of exclusivity over casino table games which also included fixed rates of duty for the exclusivity period. The property was officially renamed Skycity Adelaide in April 2001. A three-year interior redevelopment project began in December 2003. In 2009 the name reverted to Adelaide Casino.[citation needed]
In 2007 following widening of North Terrace to create space for two tramlines, the Balfours Pie Cart, which sold pie floaters, was removed from its location.[4]
Following licence variations formalised on 11 October 2013, Skycity Adelaide's casino licence gave Adelaide Casino a monopoly on table games and automated table game product in South Australia until 30 June 2035 (a 20-year extension of the original exclusivity), along with new duty arrangements. The Adelaide Casino competes for gaming machine (slot) business with South Australia's hotels and licensed clubs (of which about 480 are licensed to operate just over 12,400 machines). The new licence arrangements increased the property's capacity from 90 to 200 tables and from 995 to 1500 gaming machines, subject to redevelopment to provide the required floor space.[citation needed]
As part of a major interior refurbishment in 2014, the Casino commissioned hand-crafted glass light pendants from a team of 12 artists at the JamFactory studios, which would be hung from the ceiling of the A$5 million+ SKYroom (formerly the Pearl Room).[5]
As part of the Riverbank precinct redevelopment started in 2015 which includes the Adelaide Convention Centre and Adelaide Festival Centre,[6] the Casino announced an expansion beginning in 2018, aiming to transform it into 'an integrated entertainment destination on the Festival Plaza forecourt'.[7]
