Casino operator SKYCITY Entertainment Group Limited (ASX: SKC) has announced a plan to offer online casino gaming by partnering with international gaming business Gaming Innovation Group Inc.

The proposed skycitycasino online site is expected to be launched in mid-2019 and will be operated from Malta with a .com URL. It will be offered to New Zealanders for an online casino gaming platform. The odd setup is because only Government-owned Lotto and the TAB are permitted to offer online gaming from New Zealand.
