Procedure to be followed by school clubs affiliating for the 2025 season
Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA), founded in 1984, is the national federation for Board games, Card games, Esports, and Wargames.
MSSA promotes all the different disciplines equally, although each school may pick-and-choose which discipline it wishes to promote at its school. Some schools will promote the whole gambit, while others will concentrate on only one discipline, and/or even just concentrate on one specific title.
The choice is ultimately up to the school.
MSSA has sent teams with full Protea Colours to international events since 1991 for wargames, 1996 for Morabaraba, 1997 for Checkers, and 2005 for Esports. Many members of the national teams have been scholars, and all have benefited from their involvement in the national Protea Team.
There is still the option open for a school to start a full-blown sub-club on its premises, but bearing in mind the tight regulatory conditions under which accredited schools have to operate in the Republic, the MSSA no longer deems it necessary for a school to start a sub-club.
As long as the school club has the approval of the school, and has an Educator-in-Charge, a school may affiliate by merely completing the Application for Affiliation Form and submitting such to MSSA.
Advantages of having a MSSA affiliated club: There are many advantages of having a MSSA affiliated club, such as:
-

Enter a realm of ever-shifting reels in Crystalium by Swintt’s Elysium Studios
Latest addition to Swintt’s line up – sees tumbling reels and cloning wilds combine to award incredible prizes of up to 5,547.80x
Prepare to enter a dazzling dimension where things are never what they seem in Crystalium – a new cluster pays slot in the Elysium Studios – Driven by Swintt where cascading symbols and ever-shifting reels create a totally unique experience on every spin.
Set in a shimmering crystal world where precious gems and cloning wilds jostle for space on the reels, Crystalium invites players to embrace the unpredictable with a revolutionary new mechanic that sees the gameboard morph and re-shape each round to ramp up the excitement.
Rather than relying on conventional paylines, players will need to land clusters of five or more matching gems to receive a prize, at which point all affected symbols will disappear from view as new ones drop down from above to take their place. In this way, players can string together huge sequences of wins, with each consecutive payout contributing towards the slot’s progress metre.
Once this bar has been filled, players will instantly receive 8 free spins – and to ensure they achieve this goal, cloning wilds that expand horizontally, vertically or in a cross-shaped pattern can appear on any spin to help them complete additional gem clusters and earn further payouts.
When the free spins begin, the standard progress metre will be replaced by an infinite progress bar, with this awarding additional free spins and increasingly large multipliers after a win is triggered. The great thing about this feature is it won’t reset until the free spins are over, so there’s potentially no limit to the size of the multiplier being applied as long as players continue winning.
Of course, if players want to take luck into their own hands and increase their chances of making the bonus, they have two options available – either activating the Bet Boost option which triples the likelihood of triggering the free spins or using the “Buy” button which launches them directly.
David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “The Swintt Elysium Studios’ line-up has continued to push the boundaries of what’s possible from a video slot, and Crystalium is another great example of us thinking outside the box. Featuring a never-before-seen shifting reels mechanic, the game consistently keeps players guessing and offers excitement on every spin as they chase cluster wins and attempt to trigger an infinitely rewarding bonus round.”
