The pokies library at a glance
N1 Bet's New Zealand lobby holds more than 4,000 pokies and table games from over 50 studios. Whether you're after five-reel video pokies, classic three-reel spins, live dealer tables or progressive jackpots, the library is built to be browsed by category, provider or search bar rather than scrolled endlessly.
Everything runs instantly in your browser on desktop, Android and iOS, so there's nothing to download before you play.
| Library feature | Detail |

| Total games | 4,000+ pokies and table games |
| Software studios | 50+ providers |
| Table game types | Blackjack, Roulette, Poker, Baccarat variants |
| Live dealer tables | Included in the lobby |

Pokies on mobile
There's no app to install. Load the site in your phone or tablet browser, log in, and the same 4,000+ game catalogue opens in a mobile-optimised layout. Spins, table games and live dealer streams all run the same way as on desktop.
Finding a pokie in the lobby
With thousands of titles on offer, the lobby is set up so you don't have to scroll through the whole catalogue to find something worth a spin. A search bar sits at the top of the pokies section, so if you already know the title you want, typing a few letters of the name is the fastest route in.
Below the search bar, category tabs split the library into workable chunks:
- New releases, for titles recently added to the lobby
- Popular, ranked by how often a game is being played
- Jackpots, isolating every progressive and standalone jackpot pokie
- Classic slots, for three-reel, single-payline games
- Table games and live casino, split away from pokies entirely
You can also filter by studio if you have a preferred developer, useful if you know you enjoy Pragmatic Play's high-frequency bonus features or NetEnt's polish and want to stick to one house style for a session. A favourites option lets you star titles so they're one click away next time you log in, rather than searched for again from scratch.
Pokies: what's in the reels
Video pokies from the major studios
The bulk of the library is video pokies from the five headline studios: NetEnt, Pragmatic Play, Play'n GO, Playtech and Evolution Gaming's slot arm. Titles from these studios that Kiwi players commonly look for in the lobby include:
- Starburst and Gonzo's Quest (NetEnt)
- Sweet Bonanza and Wolf Gold (Pragmatic Play)
- Book of Dead (Play'n GO)
- Age of the Gods series (Playtech)
Alongside these are dozens of smaller studios rounding out the 50+ provider count, covering everything from Irish-luck themes to Egyptian mythology and fruit-machine classics.
Classic and themed reels
If you prefer simpler three-reel spins over bonus-heavy video pokies, the lobby has a dedicated classic-slots filter. These games strip back to single paylines and straightforward symbols, useful if you're on a smaller session budget and want quick, low-variance spins.
Reading a pokie's volatility before you spin
Every pokie in the lobby carries an information panel, opened from the "i" icon on the game tile, that lists the paytable, the number of paylines, the bonus features on offer and the game's volatility rating where the studio publishes one. Volatility describes how a pokie pays out over time: a low-volatility game tends to return smaller wins more often, which suits a longer session on a fixed budget, while a high-volatility game pays out less often but can produce larger single wins, which suits players happy to ride out longer dry spells between hits.
Checking this panel before you commit real money is worth the ten seconds it takes. It also shows the maximum bet and the coin denominations available, so you can match the stake sizes to your session budget rather than finding out mid-spin that the minimum bet is higher than expected.
Jackpot pokies
Progressive and networked jackpots
Playtech's jackpot network is the main source of progressive prize pools in the library, with several linked titles sharing one growing jackpot across connected casinos. These sit alongside standalone jackpot pokies with a fixed top prize that resets after each win.
| Jackpot pokie | Studio | Jackpot style |
|---|---|---|
| Age of the Gods | Playtech | Networked progressive |
| Age of the Gods: Fate Sisters | Playtech | Networked progressive |
| Age of the Gods: Furious 4 | Playtech | Networked progressive |
Because the pool is shared across linked games and casinos, it grows continuously between wins. There's no separate sign-up for jackpot pokies, they sit in the main lobby under the jackpot filter alongside the regular video pokies.
A practical note on jackpot pokies: the progressive pool is usually only unlocked at a game's maximum bet level or through a specific bonus trigger, so it's worth checking the game info panel to see exactly how the jackpot is won before you settle into a session chasing it. Standalone jackpots, by contrast, can typically be triggered at any bet size, which makes them a lower-cost way to have a shot at a jackpot round without staking the maximum every spin.
Table games
Blackjack, roulette, poker and baccarat
The RNG (computer-dealt) table games section covers the four core casino staples:
- Blackjack, in multiple rule-set variants
- Roulette, including European and American wheel styles
- Poker, in video poker and casino poker formats
- Baccarat, in several hand-speed and side-bet variants
These sit separately from pokies in the lobby navigation, so you can jump straight to card and wheel games without filtering past video slots. Each variant lists its own table limits in the game window, so you can check the minimum and maximum bet before joining a hand or spin.
Live casino
Real dealers, streamed to your screen
N1 Bet's live casino puts you at a real table with a human dealer, streamed from a studio in real time. Evolution Gaming, the studio most known for live dealer production, supplies live tables here, running blackjack, roulette, baccarat and poker with real cards, wheels and chips.
You place bets through the same interface as a regular table game, but watch and interact with the dealer via video feed. Chat functions let you talk to the dealer and other players at the table.
Live tables run around the clock, so there's no fixed opening time to work around before you sit down.
What to expect at a live table
Each live table displays its own betting limits, the number of seats or betting spots available, and a running history of recent results down the side of the stream, useful for roulette and baccarat players who like to see recent numbers or hand outcomes before staking. Because a real dealer is running the game in real time, rounds move at a fixed pace rather than the instant results of an RNG table, so budget a little more time per session if you're settling in for live blackjack or baccarat.
Software providers powering the games
Every studio in the lobby brings a different strength, from bonus-heavy video pokies to polished live dealer production. Here's what the confirmed studios in N1 Bet's NZ library are known for:
| Studio | Known for | Available at N1 Bet |
|---|---|---|
| NetEnt | Polished video pokies with strong bonus features | Yes |
| Pragmatic Play | High-frequency releases and volatile bonus pokies | Yes |
| Evolution Gaming | Live dealer blackjack, roulette, baccarat and poker | Yes |
| Play'n GO | Adventure-themed pokies with expanding wilds and free spins | Yes |
| Playtech | Jackpot networks and licensed-brand pokies | Yes |
| 50+ additional studios | Rounding out classic, themed and niche pokie categories | Yes |
Demo play: trying a game before you deposit
Most pokies built by NetEnt, Pragmatic Play, Play'n GO and the other major studios come with a built-in free-play mode as standard, using virtual credits instead of real money. This lets you learn a game's reels, bonus rounds and paytable before wagering anything.
How to load a game in demo mode
- Open the pokies lobby and browse or search for a title.
- Select the game tile to open its info panel.
- Choose the "practice" or "demo" option where offered, rather than "play for real".
- Spin using the virtual balance loaded automatically, no deposit needed.
- Switch to real-money play from the same screen once you're ready, which requires logging in and a minimum NZ$20 deposit.
Table games and live dealer tables don't run in demo mode, since live tables involve a real dealer and real-time seat allocation. Demo play is limited to RNG pokies and some RNG table games.
Depositing to play pokies with real money
Once you've tried a title in demo mode and you're ready to play for real, switching over is a case of logging into your account and making a deposit. N1 Bet's cashier natively supports NZD, so you deposit and see your balance in New Zealand dollars without a currency conversion step, alongside USD, EUR, AUD, CAD and a range of cryptocurrencies including BTC, ETH, LTC, BCH, DOGE and USDC for players who prefer to fund their account that way.
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Minimum deposit | NZ$20 |
| Account currency | NZD (native), plus USD, EUR, AUD, CAD and other currencies |
| Crypto accepted | BTC, ETH, LTC, BCH, DOGE, USDC |
| Welcome offer on first deposit | 100% up to NZ$1,000 + 150 free spins, 40x wagering |
The NZ$1,000 welcome match applies to your first deposit and is credited alongside your own funds, with the attached free spins loaded onto eligible pokies. The 40x wagering condition applies to the bonus amount before any winnings from it can be withdrawn, so it's worth reading the bonus terms in your account before you opt in, particularly if you're planning to play mostly table games or live dealer tables, since these can contribute differently to wagering than pokies do.
Support while you play
If a game freezes, a spin looks wrong, or you've got a question about a bonus while you're mid-session, support is available through live chat and email. There's no phone line, so live chat is the fastest way to reach someone directly rather than waiting on an email reply. Keep your account details and, if relevant, the game name and time of the issue handy when you open a chat, it speeds up getting a straight answer rather than a round of clarifying questions.
Playing pokies responsibly
Pokies, table games and live dealer tables are entertainment, and the volatility notes and demo mode covered above are there to help you make an informed choice about where and how you spin, not to suggest a way to guarantee a return. Set a budget before you start a session and treat it as the cost of the entertainment rather than money you expect to get back. You must be 18 or older to hold an account and play. If gambling stops being fun or starts affecting your finances, relationships or wellbeing, Gambling Helpline NZ is free and confidential on 0800 654 655.
