On 17 October 2006, the Gambling Commission suspended the licence of Dunedin Casinos Management Limited for two consecutive days. The Commission found the licence holder to be in breach of the Gambling Act 2003 and a condition of its licence, and "considered that these breaches were material failures to comply with important obligations" in relation to problem gambling.^[3]

The Grand Casino, formerly known as Dunedin Casino, was renamed in 2021 in recognition of the building in which the casino resides.^[4] The new design won the Heritage Colour Maestro Award at the Resene Total Colour Awards.^[5][6]
