The Dunedin Casino is due to put its case for continuing to operate to the Gambling Commission.
The Department of Internal Affairs wants the casino's license suspended, claiming staff failed to stop a problem gambler who went on to lose $6 million over three years.
The action is the first of its kind and is being watched carefully by the gambling industry.
The Dunedin Casino has three days to put its case after the Department of Internal Affairs called witnesses in the first part of the hearing in Auckland last month.
This included a gambling inspector who said staff raised concerns about Christine Keenan's gambling, but the casino management failed to do anything about it.
She was sentenced to three years in prison in 2004 for stealing from her employer.
The law says casinos must bar people they believe have a gambling problem.
