Golden Horse Casino Live Games

Table Games and Slots

At our Golden Horse Casino in Pietermaritzburg, we keep the action going with 22 table games and hundreds of slots. Table games like American Roulette, Blackjack, and Ultimate Texas Hold’em run from 8am to 4am Sunday through Thursday. On Fridays and Saturdays, our tables run late into the night, with extended hours on weekends.

We offer a private salon for guests who prefer quieter play or higher stakes. This space is available by invitation or request; on a first visit a team member brings you in. First-time tournament players must sign up for Tsogo Rewards - that’s our loyalty card program, and you can’t join the competitions or grab promotions without it. Points you earn while playing unlock extra perks, like entry to the Tables Trifecta tournament and eligible table promos.

Slot fans find plenty to enjoy too. There are more than 400 machines covering everything from penny slots to big-money premium units. Recent slot payouts have reached impressive totals across all machines here. If you want to collect rewards points automatically, don’t forget to insert your Tsogo Rewards card before you spin.

A few slot sections get crowded on weekend nights once extended play starts. For a bit of quiet, weekday mornings after opening are generally slower, especially between 8 and noon.

All About Tsogo Rewards

Our Tsogo Rewards program is central to how promotions work at Golden Horse Casino. Signing up is free and easy at guest relations or at special kiosks near the entrance. You’ll need this card for points, tournament access, promotions, and more. Every swipe tracks your activity on slots or tables.

Points don’t just sit in your account - they become entry tickets for draws, discounts at three different restaurants, lower hotel rates. Digital alerts go out for all upcoming deals, tournaments, and salon privé invites - you won’t miss a thing.

The more you play, the more you get. Entry level gives you regular promo access, higher tiers mean better rates, early tourney registration, and access to special private events and rooms.

Lost your card? As long as we can check your ID, you’ll keep every point.

Promotions and Jackpots

Golden Fortune, Pick Your Prize, Saturday Night Jackpots, and the Money Vault have all made regulars out of new faces. We use your Tsogo Rewards card activity to track entries automatically.

Golden Fortune offers R360,000+ available across the promotion period. Pick Your Prize puts over R93,000 up for grabs in weekly random draws, one ticket for every hundred points from Monday to Thursday.

Saturday Night Jackpots wake up as soon as the weekend’s extended play starts, with a combined R450,000 split between cash and +Play credits (these are credits you can’t withdraw but can use for future play). Entry requirements and details get posted on digital boards around the gaming floor.

The Tables Trifecta works as a monthly poker-style tournament: buy-in at R100, standard knock-out format, and the winner at the final table takes R23,000 plus a share of the total pool. Registration opens two weeks before each event, both at the casino in person or online.

If you want in on Money Vault, it’s always open. R660,000 in cash and +Play is waiting, and every point you earn at slots with your card counts as an entry.

Salon Privé

Our salon privé stands apart for guests with high minimum plays and a taste for exclusivity. Entry comes by invitation or special arrangement through guest relations. You’ll need to confirm minimum play before access, whether you prefer bigger bets at table games or special slot machines.

The salon features its own dedicated gaming environment, separate from the main floor. The section has its own chip and drink service, so you won’t need to leave your seat if you don’t feel like it.

Expect larger minimums at the tables and slots within this exclusive area. For privacy, we keep the area closed to regular floor traffic, don’t allow photos, and run large cash outs through private cashier windows.

Casino Floor and Where to Go

Golden Horse Casino sits directly beside our hotel and the well-known Scottsville Racecourse. The main gaming area is on the ground floor, just past the entrance, while salon privé has its own distinct section nearby.

Slots are laid out with care - smaller denominations on one side, bigger bets and progressive jackpots at the centre. This is where you’ll spot the most movement on busy weekends, especially as jackpot values rise on overhead boards. Table games sit to the north in an easy semi-circle, giving you clear sight lines.

Need a bite or a drink? Fast food and the main bar wait right next to the slot machines. For more formal dining, pass through a short corridor and you’ll hit one of three restaurants on-site. Every space is connected - no need to step outside between casino, food, and hotel.

Age checks are required at the doors. Please bring a government ID, as our security team checks every guest.

Hotel Connection and Dining

Our four-star Golden Horse Hotel is next to the casino floor. With 96 rooms, staying here means you can be in your room or at your slot within minutes. We finish Tsogo Rewards sign-up right at the reception for hotel guests.

Frequently, we bundle room rates with meal credits or extra play vouchers. If you’re here on a race day, ask us about packages that let you enjoy events at the Scottsville Racecourse too.

Three restaurants make it easy to choose between classic fine dining, relaxed family meals, or a steakhouse special. Weekend and late-night play matches our fast food court hours.

Conference rooms occupy the floor just above the main casino. For corporate groups, we arrange private tournaments and reserved tables. It all starts with an email - [email protected].
