This report addresses the following questions related to problem gambling in New Zealand: how are non-casino gaming machines (NCGMs; ‘pokies’) distributed across New Zealand, with respect to deprivation, other known problem gambling risk factors, and problem gambling service provision; which areas have the greatest at-risk populations and/or highest demand for intervention services, and which of those may be underserved in terms of public health programmes or face-to-face intervention services; and where additional services may be needed, could existing Alcohol and Other Drug treatment services be used to fill service gaps?
