The card publishes 96.30% for Hit it Hard. Across a huge number of spins that is the studio figure. One evening in Christchurch is not that sample.

Yes. The button on fernspins.co.nz is the same on a phone. Here2Win Casino loads the pokie, and the stake is in NZ$.

NZ$ at Here2Win Casino. This catalogue does not print a minimum, because that figure lives inside the game, not on the card.

Read it as a card, not as a tip for Christchurch. The pokie does not know the city, and the page does not pretend it does.

Stake and POLi

POLi and the other rails people in New Zealand already use are handled inside the Here2Win Casino account. fernspins.co.nz never asks for them. The page cannot take an NZ$ deposit.
Who it suits
A high-volatility pokie moves an NZ$ stake in jumps. If that is more movement than you want, drop the stake or pick another title from the same studio.
