Scudamore’s Super Stakes

Scudamore's Super Stakes is a horse-racing pokie from NetEnt, built around British champion jockey Peter Scudamore and the thrill of a day at the track. New Zealand players who look up the Scudamore's Super Stakes slot will find a five-reel game that mixes a familiar 20-line layout with a genuinely different side feature, the Bet Slip, which borrows the language of sports betting. You can spin it in New Zealand dollars at the offshore-licensed casinos listed on this page, and the free demo above lets you try every feature in play money before you stake anything real.

How Scudamore's Super Stakes plays

The base game runs across five reels and three rows with 20 fixed paylines, so wins land left to right on the usual NetEnt engine. Horseshoe Random Wilds can drop onto the reels at any point, turning between two and five positions wild to help complete lines. The signature mechanic is the Bet Slip: you pick a symbol and predict how many times it will appear over a short run of spins, and if it lands at least as often as your call, you collect a multiplier. Landing scatters on the first, third and fifth reels sends you into Peter's Classic Cup, a bonus that widens the grid and lets you back a horse in a race, with faster horses carrying more risk and bigger potential payouts.

Scudamore's Super Stakes RTP, volatility and max win

NetEnt publishes a default return to player of 96.99 percent, which sits a little above the industry average, though some operators run alternative RTP builds so it is always worth checking the in-game paytable. The volatility is medium, meaning wins arrive at a fairly steady pace without the long dry spells of a high-variance pokie, while still leaving room for the occasional standout result. The top prize is worth up to 5,200 times your bet, reached mainly through the Classic Cup race, so the ceiling is high even though the everyday rhythm stays comfortable.

Playing Scudamore's Super Stakes in New Zealand

You can play Scudamore's Super Stakes in New Zealand dollars at the online casinos shown on this page, each of which carries the NetEnt title in its lobby. New Zealand does not yet license domestic online casinos; the Department of Internal Affairs is due to introduce a local regime under the Online Casino Gambling Act from December 2026, and until then Kiwis play at operators licensed offshore. The casinos listed here hold recognised international licences. The free demo needs no account and no deposit, so you can learn the Bet Slip and the race bonus at your own pace before deciding whether to play for real money.

Is Scudamore's Super Stakes worth playing?

If you like a slot with a bit of personality, Scudamore's Super Stakes earns its place. The horse-racing theme is more than a coat of paint, the Bet Slip gives you a decision the average pokie never asks for, and the Classic Cup race is a genuinely tense finale. The medium volatility and 96.99 percent RTP make it approachable for casual sessions, while the 5,200x ceiling keeps the upside interesting. As with any pokie the result is random and the house holds an edge, so set a budget you are happy to lose and treat it as entertainment. For free tools and support, see responsible gambling.
