SmokAce Casino Review for New Zealand Players

New Zealanders have access to all manner of top-tier casinos. Therefore, if a casino wants to attract players from the twin-island country, they're going to need to pull out all the stops. The Wild West-themed SmokAce does just that, offering 7,000+ casino games to its audience, and these aren't shabby titles, either, with dozens of top-tier developers amongst those offering titles.

While you can certainly play at SmokAce using the browser on your device, the design and interface of this casino do lend themselves more to computer-based gameplay, or at least gambling on devices with larger screens. The main reason for that is that when you've got a gaming library as large as this one, you need ample screen space to peruse the massive selection of slots and games.

SmokAce debuted in 2023 and is one of a handful of sister sites run by Altacore N.V. The casino is, as you would probably expect of any site catering to a near-global audience, licensed and regulated out of Curacao. It ticks the right boxes regarding RTP rates and RNG-certified games, and you can find out what else SmokAce has to offer in the rest of our review.

Software Platform and Favourite Games

We're sure that you're aware of the immense gaming library that SmokAce has to offer by now, and we've already told you about the dozens of developers involved in supporting the site with games. What else can we tell you, then?

SmokAce's immense library naturally means that the casino has had to design its interface and library in a specific way. This means that you're going to find drop-down menus, search boxes and filters to allow you to cut through the bulk of the games with ease to find something to play. You can choose from options which include Popular, Tournament, New, Mini Games, Hot, Slots, Live Casino, Jackpot, Table Games, Favourite, and Bonus games. Searching for gambling games based on their developer, features, or buy-a-bonus capabilities are also options.

The slots genre is one of the few which has a really in-depth selection of filters for you to use to search for games. Using the "categories" option, you can look for slots based on if they contain buy features, volatility level, MegaWays and pays both ways structures, whether they offer a pick bonus, stacked symbols, tumbling reels, or win multipliers. Some of the top-tier slots you can play include Sweet Bonanza, Rich Wilde the Book of Dead, Starburst, Moon Princess, EggOMatic and Gonzo's Quest.

Random number generator table games come in all sorts of options at SmokAce. These RNG variants include Andar Bahar, Baccarat, Blackjack, Caribbean Stud and Hold'em, Poker, Casino and Texas Hold'em Poker, Casino War, Craps, Dragon Tiger, Oasis Poker, Roulette, Teen Patti, Three Card Poker, and many video poker variants.

SmokAce players who prefer more realism can find live titles from Evolution Gaming, Vivo Gaming, Pragmatic Play, Playtech and others. Obviously, fan favourites like Immersive Roulette, Lightning Blackjack, Dream Catcher, and No Commission Baccarat are available, but so too are game show releases, dice games, money wheel, and other baccarat, blackjack, roulette, and table poker options, alongside oddities such as Fan Tan and Crazy Coin Flip.

Finally, it's worth looking at the progressive jackpot slots at SmokAce. There are a couple of absences here, but there is still a selection of hundreds of jackpot titles for you to play and several ways to trigger jackpots. Our recommended progressive jackpot slots include Jackpot 6,000, Wolf Gold, Ozwin's Jackpots, Good Girl Bad Girl, Holmes and the Stolen Stones and Mr Vegas.

Other Bonuses and Promotions for New Zealand Players

Of course, the welcome bonus at SmokAce is always going to catch your eye, however, after deciding which of those three dynamite deals you wish to claim, you can start to look at the VIP club, loyalty shop and tournaments supported there.

Joining tournaments is made simple, with two week-long events regularly available. These are often tied to games from specific software providers, such as Pragmatic Play and Play 'n Go. Perform well by wagering on these games, and you could climb the rankings to win a share of $10,000 prize pots.

At the same time, every wager made at SmokAce will see you earn loyalty points. Acquire them, stash them, and then spend them in the casino's loyalty shop. Free spins, cash bonuses and other perks stock the shelves of the loyalty shop. All New Zealanders are also entered into the VIP scheme from the start. However, to benefit from progressive perks such as increased cashback, bespoke bonuses, and your own personal VIP account manager, you'll need to climb the rungs of SmokAce's multi-tier loyalty ladder by betting.

Other Promotions

Alongside the welcome offer, VIP scheme, loyalty shop and available tournaments, New Zealanders can explore daily and weekly deals at SmokAce. Here's the best selection of long-term deals you can hope to claim there:

Weekly Deposit Bonuses

A trio of thematic Sheriff Set bonuses is the highlight here. Each is worth a 25% match up to $3,300 and 50 free spins. However, the games you can use those spins on vary depending on the bonus you claim when depositing. Alternatively, you can claim a daily Smoke Bonus, which is worth 15% of whatever you deposit.

Weekend Revolver

Deposit over the weekend to claim a 50% bonus worth up to $900. This Weekend Revolver Bonus also comes with free spins, with fifty free games available on selected slots.

Rodeo Weekly Cashback

SmokAce players can earn up to 25% cashback on their losses from the previous week, with the total amount of cashback available capped at $3,800. The cashback deal you can claim depends on your current VIP status.

Indian Wednesdays

There's one final deposit bonus worth touching on – Indian Wednesdays. As its name suggests, this offer can only be claimed on Wednesdays. It promises a 40% bonus worth up to $900 for New Zealanders, with 40 free spins thrown in.

An FAQ, live chat and e-mail are all customer support options you'll find at SmokAce Casino. However, some are better suited to assist you than others. The FAQ, for instance, is practically useless. However, the 24/7 live chat and e-mail (kyc@smokcasino.com or, alternatively, support@smokcasino.com) options offer near-immediate, handy assistance to New Zealanders.
