Real slots, real money – SA’s top real money slots casinos

Arguably one of the best things to happen to the gaming industry in the last century is the online casino. Thanks to this convenient and easy way to play, more players than ever have been able to play – and win – without lengthy drives.

But do online casinos really match up to the land-based casino experience when it comes to slots? Can you win the same kinds of jackpots? Can you even win real money? Our answer to all three questions is, yes! But let’s take a look at why.

Living the experience

Since the invention of the Sittman & Pitt Flip Card Poker Machine in 1891, slot machines of various kinds have offered entertainment and a chance to win big. While original slot machine designs tended to incorporate playing card suits into their themes, they quickly evolved to include various other symbols, often unique to the designer.

Initially, these machines found their way into bars, where patrons would play a few games between drinks, often with the aim of winning enough to pay for a round. Eventually, slot machines would grow and develop into the complex, well designed and calibrated machines we see in casinos today… and then came online gaming.

While the atmosphere inside a casino is undeniably exciting, it isn’t necessarily for everyone. Some people enjoy the act of gaming, but prefer a quieter atmosphere. They don’t want the inconvenience of leaving the house and certainly don’t want to spend their jackpots on expensive drinks… And, just because you aren’t surrounded by the casino ambience on all sides, doesn’t mean that the game isn’t exciting. Real money online slot games are designed to immerse you in an enjoyable and entertaining virtual experience that land-based casino machines can’t offer.

How do the jackpots compare?

Jackpots for online slot games and progressive slot games are comparable to the types of winnings you can get in a casino. They vary from small payouts to multiple hundreds of thousands of rands. The jackpot per game varies, depending on the type of game and, of course, how much you bet.

Winning real money

Slots are the go to for many online gamblers in South Africa – they’re easy to understand, attractive with their bright colours and impressive visuals, and it is absolutely possible to win real money in online slot games in South Africa. If you’re flirting with the idea of gambling on slots online, bear in mind that some South African online gaming providers don’t take credit cards, although there are some exceptions, like PlayLive, Springbok Casino and Silver Sands. Of those that don’t take credit cards, there are multiple options for both deposits and payouts. Each online casino has its own withdrawal process, but for the most part, if you have won a jackpot, you will usually be able to claim your money within about 48 hours.
