October 3, 2022, Johannesburg, South Africa From classic slasher movies to the more cerebral psychological horror stories, many people are drawn to the adrenalin rush of being scared –especially at Halloween. This month, Springbok Casino reviews the Top Horror Movies on Netflix this month.

Stranger Things follows numerous groups of characters as they separately investigate the disappearance of young Will Byers.

In Raw, a young veterinary student develops a taste for raw meet after bizarre college initiation rituals.

The fantasy genre always comes out tops when it comes to developing new online slot games. Software developers know that there’s no going wrong with games that manage to spin the timeless topic of magic into their themes. As such, Playtech’s upcoming new Green Wizard slot promises to be a big hit, even before it has reached partner online casinos that carry games by this group.

Green Wizard slot is set deep in the heart of a dense green forest where our protagonist lives in a mysterious house. The graphics are excellent, as you would only expect from a software developer such as Playtech.

Top symbols are Oil Lamps, Magic Potions, Black Cats or the Wizard’s Abode, while lower-paying symbols are the usual Royals which are golden tinged.

The search is on for the only unclaimed lottery ticket in South Africa. Ithuba, the national operator of the country’s lottery, has put out a call, asking people to double check their tickets from a draw that took place in December.

The winner still has until this coming December to claim the R7.5 million prize. But Ithuba wants to make sure that it’s not left until the last moment. South African lottery rules state that winners have up until one year to claim their prize, after which time they cannot do so anymore. The operator believes that in this case, the new millionaire isn’t even aware of his or her windfall. The lucky ticket was purchased in Cape Town, but that’s all that is known about the winner.

Once again, Gauteng’s leading entertainment resort, MonteCasino has partnered with ShuffleUp Poker, considered the number one provider of poker tournaments in Africa.

The result? The Splendido Poker Series with an estimated prize pool of R18 million!

Satellites for the series kicked off on Friday, and the entire tournament will run until Sunday, November 6th.

Finally, some news on the online gambling legislation front from South Africa: This week, the Democratic Alliance, the country’s official opposition party, is set to introduce a bill that could legalize and regulate online gambling in South Africa.

According to the DA, it plans to introduce a bill – known as the Remote Gambling Bill - that is remarkably like the 2008 National Gambling Amendment Act which provides full legislative framework for igaming in South Africa, although some important issues have been addressed.

While the National Gambling Amendment Act was put together, it didn’t come into full force, thus leaving South African online gambling in a limbo-like position for over a decade.

Big Time Gaming (BTG), the Australian online casino software provider, is releasing a new slot game to partner casinos this month, and we encourage South African players to look out for this exciting new title.

Max Megaways follows the adventures of a secret agent whose mission it is to enter the secret lair of the villain which happens to be built in a volcano. There’s a jaunty soundtrack that accompanies the spinning of the reels, and the screen looks more like a movie than a casino game – an exotic location, bright blue sky, drifting clouds… you get the picture.

But let’s get to the nitty gritty of Max Megaways and what players can expect to find in terms of features.

A consortium headed by the South African casino and hospitality group, Tsogo Sun, has purchased a stake in Emerald Resort and Casino. The value of the sale was not disclosed to the media.

The stake was sold to Tsogo Sun by Metropolitan Gaming, an affiliate of Silver Point Capital, which operates casinos that were previously owned by London Clubs International.

The sale of its South African interest will allow Metropolitan Gaming to place more focus on its core markets in the United Kingdom, as well as the developing Egyptian gambling market.

September 1, 2022, Johannesburg, South Africa, Lots of animals use camouflage to hide from their predators or their prey. This month Springbok Casino looks at several African animals that are Masters of Disguise.

Lions have the simplest form of camouflage – their coats are matched to the usual colour of the bushveld or savannah. Their golden, tawny, beige coats blend in perfectly with the sun-bleached grasses where they lie in wait for a juicy zebra or buck.

The leopard’s camouflage is the pattern of dark rosettes covering its otherwise tawny coat. These help disrupt the outline of the animal and help it blend into the mottled background of the savannah and trees.

Good news for South African hospitality and casino group, Sun International. The company saw its share prices jump 3.77% to R30.27 this week after it reported that it expected “exceptional results” for the first half of 2022.

The share prices also increased with the news that Sun International anticipates a significant reduction in debt for H2 2022.
