Betting in South Africa has always been on the rise and the region is already considered to be one of the top gambling markets in the world. Therefore, it is no surprise as to why placing wagers and bets are a popular pastime for many in the country.

South Africa is already the home of many world-famous gamblers, whilst the country already has a number of top casino establishments up and down the country that all provide players with the opportunity to play a vast array of casino games. Whether they enjoy watching the slots spin away or playing with the best poker hands they can at the poker tables, everyone will find something they will like.

It has been suggested that the rise of online casino gaming has been detrimental to the physical establishments that are already in existence. However, they do remain popular amongst visitors to the region and there are five that are definitely worthy of being on their list of places to experience.

Montecasino

Montecasino is perhaps one of the most popular physical casinos that players can visit in South Africa as it has all the essentials required for a trip to the establishment. Located just a short distance away from the OR Tambo International Airport, there is a large selection of games available, whilst there are entertainment facilities available for everyone as well as a vibrant nightlife that can be experienced.

GrandWest Casino

When taking a visit to Cape Town, players would be wise to go and visit the GrandWest Casino. Owned by Sun International, the establishment caters to all needs and has a huge gambling floor that allows punters to play different games. There are over 2,500 slot machines available as well as around 70 table games all waiting to be used. Live music, sports and nightlife are also all available at the GrandWest Casino, therefore making this a great hotspot within South Africa.

Sun City

Visitors to the North West province of South Africa are also in luck when looking for a top casino resort as they will have Sun City available to them. The casino is based near the city of Rustenburg and has been established for a number of decades. The resort is rather unique to some of the other top hotspots on this list as it has an 18-hole golf course and a country club available to those who stay at one of its four different hotels. Sun City might not only be famous for its casino offering, though, as it has been described as one of the most luxurious places in the world to take a vacation.

Wild Coast Resort & Casino

The Wild Coast Resort and Casino is said to be one of the most relaxing resorts in the whole of the country. The resort, which is located just outside Durban and Johannesburg and on the coast of the Pacific Ocean, is surrounded by the Mzamba and Umtamvuna rivers, therefore creating a really relaxing setting with its scenery.

Those that visit Wild Coast Resort and Casino for the casino aspect, though, will not be disappointed either as they will have access to over 500 slot machines and 16 gaming tables, with a vast number of the popular classics from blackjack, roulette and poker all available to play.

The Boardwalk Casino

The Boardwalk Casino is perhaps one of the top venues in Port Elizabeth, as it is located on the beaches of the Nelson Mandela Bay. The resort, which resembles a castle and has a number of hotel rooms for guests to stay in, has a large casino floor as it provides players with over 900 slot machines and 24 different gaming tables. Games are played 24/7 and some high-level games can be played.
