Ke Nako!
In 2010, this Sesotho phrase was heard everywhere on the streets of South Africa, an expression which beautifully summed up the Rainbow Nation’s anticipation and excitement around hosting the Rugby World Cup. These two short words mean “Feel it… it’s here!”. We now find ourselves with that same happy feeling in our hearts as online casino slots have come to South Africa after many years of being illegal to play on the web. With recent approval from the Mpumalanga Gaming Board, Supabets is proud to be the first local bookmaker to bring you legal online casino slots in South Africa.
In this article, we’ll discuss the arrival of casino slots in South Africa, tell you a bit about the technology behind the new Instant Games and review some of our favourite new online slot games available for you to play right now at Supabets. The only other slots that are currently legal and available in SA are the Hollywoodbets Spina Zonke slots games.
Instant Games Paving The Way For Online Slot Games In South Africa
While sports betting has been legal in South Africa both online and in betting shops since 2004, it was only in 2019 that live casino games such as roulette, poker, blackjack and others were introduced, including some live and interactive game-show style games like Dream Catcher and Monopoly Live.
Considering the huge popularity of Betgames and other casino-style live games on betting sites across the country, it’s with open arms that we welcome online casino slots in South Africa, starting with Supabets Instant Games!

How to Play The Supabets Instant Slots
While the huge variety of instant games at Supabets is a big plus, what’s even better is that each game is laid out just the same way too. This isn’t to say the games have the same theme or equal payouts, just that the buttons or controls are always where you expect to find them from one machine to the next.
If you’ve ever played around with Winamp skins before you’ll know what I mean—different look but same interface. So whether you’re playing Pirate Gold or The Leprechaun online slots at Supabets, you can easily adjust your coin size, bet size, and often the number of pay lines per spin as well.
To better understand the controls on each Supabets online slot game, here are some easy descriptions for what each button means:
- Balance: Funds available in your SupaGames Wallet.
- Info: Pushing this button reveals the pay table for the slot game, i.e. which are the highest-paying symbols as well as wilds, scatters, etc.
- Zar: See and adjust your coin size. If you’re playing one pay line, your minimum bet on a spin will risk 1X your chosen coin size and your maximum bet will risk 5X your coin size.
- Number of Lines: See and adjust how many pay lines you wish to play. Your coin size is multiplied by the number of pay lines to determine the total bet size per spin. For example, R1 (coin size) x 10 (pay lines) = R10 per spin.
- Bet Size: Click to bet either 1X, 2X, 3X, 4X or 5X your coin size if you’re playing one pay line. Your bet size options are determined by your coin size and how many pay lines you choose to play. Adapt your coin size and the number of pay lines until you have a range of bet size options that suits your budget and strategy.
- Auto: Automatically stake your previous bet again on the next spin (until you turn the function off).
- Last Win: How much money you won on your last spin.
- Gamble: When available, press this button and then select red, black or card suit. If your red or black choice is correct, your winnings are doubled (2X). If your card suit choice is correct, your winnings are quadrupled (4X).

Can I Test Supabets Instant Slots Before I Play for Real Money?
Unfortunately, not yet. There’s currently no demo mode available on Supabets Instant Games. We’re a little disappointed that after beating every other bookie to the slots party, Supabets aren’t allowing punters to test games before playing for real money on the Instant Games platform. We sincerely hope in the near future Supabets will allow users to play their casino slot games in Demo mode. Many online casinos have this function available as a way for punters to get a feel for the game and its mechanics before playing.
