Free Casino Games

Free casino games let you play a casino game without risking any of your own money. They run in demo mode with play money, so there is nothing to deposit and nothing to cash out. This page is a short guide to free slots and other demo games for South African players, and how they differ from real money play and from free spins bonuses.

What Are Free Casino Games?

Free casino games, also called demo games or free play, are the same kind of games you would find at an online casino, played with virtual credits. The casino doesn’t risk any of its money either, as any pay-outs are not real money. The free slot games in the grid above are a good place to start if you want to try online slots without signing up anywhere.

How to Play Free Slots

1. Pick a game from the grid above.
2. Start it in demo mode. You play with virtual credits, so you do not need to register or deposit.
3. Try a range of bet sizes and watch how the features trigger.
4. When you are comfortable with the game, decide whether you want to play it for real money at an online casino.

Demo availability can differ by game and provider, so a few titles may not have a free version.

Why Play Free Games First?

• Learn the rules of a game before you put real money on it.
• See how bonus rounds, wilds, multipliers and other features work.
• Get a feel for a slot’s volatility (variance), meaning how often it tends to pay and how big the wins tend to be.
• Find out whether you actually enjoy a game or provider.

Free play also lets the casino promote its games, and lets you see if a game is to your liking.

Free Play vs Real Money

Free play is for learning and fun. Real money play adds the chance of a real win, and also the chance of losing what you bet, which is why a budget matters.Winnings in demo mode are play money and can’t be withdrawn. When you play for real money, wins and losses are real, so set a budget before you start. Some progressive jackpot slot games may not be available as free casino games, and if they are, some have the progressive jackpot amounts deactivated.

Free Games vs Free Spins Bonuses

These are not the same thing. Free casino games are demo play with no money involved. A free spins bonus is an offer from an online casino, and winnings from it are usually subject to wagering requirements and other terms.

• Browse our list of no deposit codes for current no deposit offers.

T&Cs and wagering requirements apply to every bonus, so read them before you claim.

Ready to Play for Real? Browse SA Online Casinos

There are many online casinos available to South African players. Before you sign up, check that the casino is a respectable brand that will pay you out should you win. That can be a tedious task, so we have done these online casino reviews for you.

Land Based Casino Games

Land based casinos in South Africa usually host a wide variety of casino games from different gaming software companies like IGT, SG Gaming and Bally Technologies, to name a few. The casinos with the most popular games draw more players.

Online Casino Games

Online casinos have changed too, and most new online casinos offer games from multiple software providers. In the past, each online casino was powered by a specific brand of gaming software like Microgaming, Playtech or Realtime Gaming (RTG). So if you enjoyed games from each of these companies, you needed three different casino accounts.

Which Casino Games Suit You?

We are often asked which are the best casino games to play. Personal preference plays a big role. Do you prefer casino table games like Blackjack, Roulette or table poker games like Texas Hold’em, or do you enjoy slots? Are you happy placing multiple small bets over an extended period, or do you prefer larger bets in the hope of a big win sooner?

Casino slot games can generally be grouped by variance:

• Low Variance means a larger number of winning combinations of a lower pay-out value.
• Medium Variance means slightly fewer winning combinations with a moderate pay-out value.
• High Variance means much fewer winning combinations but with a much higher pay-out value.

The type of game you play can influence your playing budget. Players who like excitement tend to prefer higher variance games, while others are happy to while away their time on a lower variance game. Try a few in demo mode to see which style suits you.
