May 1, 2021 Johannesburg, South Africa (Press Release) – This month’s feature at Springbok Casino takes a look at Saffers with popular YouTube channels. Some have huge subscriber lists and several just showcase what’s on offer from South African YouTubers: giggles, exercise, wildlife and food.

"No doubt about it, we have some great talent among the denizens of Mzansi," said Springbok's manager, Daniel van Wyke. "Some have made YouTube their home, so we can all enjoy the shenanigans on their channel from the comfort of our own homes or mobiles!"

The online casino software group, Realtime Gaming (RTG) has upped the heat valve with the release of a new slot game to partner casinos. Some of the South Africa’s most popular sites, such as Springbok Casino, are set to welcome the new game- Wild Fire 7s slot - to their games lobby on May 5th. You can look forward to playing the new 3 x 3 retro slot on all platforms, including desktops, instant play platforms, mobile and tablet.

Wild Fire 7s slot will appeal to a wide range of players. That’s because it has the look and feel of a classic, retro-style slot, but has a respectable number of features to make it a very contemporary, bonus-rich slot games.

Sun City, the flagship hotel and casino complex of South Africa’s leading hospitality and gambling giant, Sun International, will undergo major expansion and upgrade, it was reported. BusinessTech writes that the North West provincial government recently held a series of meetings with Sun City’s management team. The parties plan to take Sun City to “greater heights”, according to the report.

Sun City is considered one of the North West province’s most important tourist assets. The government and Sun International are both looking to expand the resort and to improve the infrastructure. These changes, it is hoped, will attract even more tourists in the future.

It’s time that we gave one of our favourite online casinos some place in the spotlight. Silversands Casino has been around for a long time, but that doesn’t mean that the site is letting up on the pace and excitement with the release of new promotions and special offers.

One thing worth noting, before you redeem an offer is that all deposit related coupons need to be requested through the Cashier or the Redeem coupon section BEFORE you make your deposit.

Who makes a better gambler: Men or women? Without getting into a debate and without taking sides, its always interesting for us to understand the psyche of our players. Its also something that clearly interest AfriCasino, theSouth African-facing online gambling site.

This platform runs a regular weekly Ladies and Gents promotion, where the battle of the sexes takes a different twist. Instead of pitching players against one another, AfriCasino simply designates one bonus night to the Ladies and one bonus night to the Gents. That way, everyone is left satisfied and nobody is short-changed.

If the recent pandemic is teaching us anything, it is that businesses need to adapt to a new reality. Throughout the ongoing lockdowns, brick-and-mortar casinos in SA were left standing empty for months at a time. In this new reality, how are casinos able to keep generating a profit? How can they meet the demand of South African gamblers seeking a safe & convenient way to keep gambling?

These issues were discussed at the opening day of the SBC Digital – Africa conference at the panel called ‘Lie of the Land: The future of brick-and-mortar casinos’. Most pertinent to the South African situation was the question asked: ‘Is the SA casino gaming industry being left in the dirt simply because it refuses to adopt online gambling?

April 7, 2021 Johannesburg, South Africa (Press Release) – Life-saving animal sanctuaries all over South Africa rescue and rehabilitate orphaned, injured or confiscated animals. They're safe havens for elephants, lions, rhinos, chimps, monkeys, birds and reptiles. This month, Springbok Casino salutes the heroes at shelters from Limpopo to the Western Cape. Sadly, not all sanctuaries have the animals’ best interests at heart.

"A big red flag is the promotion of lion cub petting," said Springbok's manager, Daniel van Wyke. "These places aren't sanctuaries. They're breeding and exploiting animals for profit!"

There’s lots of fun to be had at parties that have pinatas as part of the entertainment. We’re talking about those Mexican inspired containers filled with lots of goodies. If you’re lucky enough to smash it open, the gifts are yours to keep! Now imagine combining the excitement of pinatas with a slot game themed on a pinata party!

Springbok Casino is inviting you to take a swing on its brand-new game to hit the games lobby, Jackpot Pinata Deluxe. It may not be filled with sweets and delicacies, but there is still the potential to land big rewards of another kind. Trust Realtime Gaming to come up with another reel-smashing, rewarding slot!
