The Gambling Industry in South Africa
The gambling industry is recovering from the loss of business during the pandemic when casinos and bars were shut. However, industry sources say casino and bingo revenues are still below pre-pandemic levels, with the rebound being driven by betting and limited payout machines. The effects of the lockdown resulted in a shift in market share, largely to online betting.
This trend is expected to continue, as the steady decline in the revenue market share of casinos has been going on for years. New products and the borderless online environment bring direct competition to traditional gambling establishments and deprive the country of licensing and tax revenue.
Trends
Some of the most popular forms of gambling in South Africa include casino betting, sports betting, and bingo. The industry is growing despite the poor economy, driven by online and sports betting. Illegal online gambling is difficult to monitor and regulate.
The popularity of horse racing has been declining in recent years in favour of sports betting. South Africa’s sports betting sector centres around rugby, soccer, cricket, and horse racing. Bets can also be placed on the top US sports leagues.

As summer comes to a close, 1spin4win brings a new adventure-themed slot, Lucky Safari Hold and Win, to its extensive collection of 150+ games. The title boasts all the provider’s signature style features — quality mathematics, simple mechanics, engaging graphics, and the timeless appeal of pure gambling. This makes the release a perfect choice for all types of players.
Lucky Safari Hold and Win is a classic 5×3 slot that offers an exciting treasure-hunting journey into the depths of the endless savanna. Traversing 243 sun-drenched ways, players collect winning combinations featuring the grassland’s proud residents — graceful giraffes, swift zebras, wily hyenas, and the kingly lion. Rewards up to x1,300 of the original stake fill every spin with untamed excitement.
The safari takes an even more intense turn when the Hold and Win Bonus takes over the reels. The ultimate quest for savanna riches — the x100 and x1,000 roaring Jackpots — begins when three or more gold Coins land on the reels in a single spin. Players start with three respins and continue the treasure hunt until they either run out of respins or complete the grid.
Olga Bogdanova, the Art Director at 1spin4win, shared, “We create games that appeal to every taste! This time, we’re taking players on a journey through Africa, showcasing its stunning wildlife and vibrant landscapes, all accompanied by the generous Hold and Win mechanic that boosts chances to claim precious rewards in the bonus round.”
Thanks to its colorful, lifelike visuals and engaging, straightforward gameplay, Lucky Safari Hold and Win has everything it takes to become 1spin4win’s most memorable summer release.
