Second, the casino offers a 250% welcome bonus up to R25,500.

T&C of the Welcome Bonus

As is the case with all casino Welcome Bonuses, there are T&C’s that you must make sure you understand, so we strongly recommend visiting the website for the full details. First, you must claim and have received your bonus before wagering.

Wagering is subject to a maximum Rand equivalent of $6.50. All bonus money and deposits must be wagered a minimum of 15x, but remember that Blackjack, Roulette, Craps and video poker do not count towards satisfying the wagering requirements.

Desert Nights Casino Slot & Table Games

Looking at their slots universe, you’ll find a diverse range of non-branded games with themes which include mythology, Asian, nature, classic fruit, fantasy, Ancient Egypt/Rome and horror. The casino has a section on jackpot slots so you can find them easier, though at present this consists of just five games.

Unfortunately, games like Netent’s Mega Fortune or Microgaming’s Mega Moolah which are tremendously popular progressive jackpot games with larger potential payouts are not available here. Table games are also quite limited totalling eight at present: Pai Gow, Roulette, Red Dog, Craps, Baccarat and Blackjack. Additionally, there are at present seven versions of video poker as well as 15 speciality games such as bingo, Keno and Sudoku.
