Aas en Agt – Aces & Eights Video Poker at Springbok Casino!
A pack of cards looks the same in every South African home, so you'd expect the names on those cards to match in every language, right? Not quite! Afrikaans has its own word for the ace and for each of the three court cards, and two of those words have very little to do with royalty. Here at Springbok Casino, we have an online video poker title named after the ace and one other rank, and those two ranks are the stars of its paytable.
Rhino to Leopard – Reading the Big Five on a Springbok Slot Paytable!
"The Big Five" started out as a hunters' label for the five animals deemed to be the most dangerous to track on foot – the lion, the leopard, the rhino, the elephant and the buffalo. These days we all carry a small game reserve in our gatsak, because the Reserve Bank has printed one on the back of every Mandela banknote since 2012. Those early hunters needed a rifle to get close to all five, while we collect them in our change at the Spar… without firing a single shot!
Soft Hand or Hard Hand? Playing Your Ace in Blackjack at Springbok!
A 21st birthday key is a South African tradition, and you likely got yours in silver, in wood or piped in icing on a birthday cake! Why do families choose the 21st for the key? In South African law, you come of age at 21. Although the age of majority was legally moved to 18 on 1 July 2007, many Mzansi families still hand the key over at 21… and why wouldn't we? Who are we to mess with tradition – and an excuse for some lekker cake!
Precision Engineering? That's Roulette at Springbok Casino!
Have you ever wondered what actually goes into a roulette wheel on a casino floor? Rather a lot, as it turns out… Cammegh, who supplies casinos the world over, machine theirs with a hard-wearing Garnite ball track, a bearing that is maintenance-free for life and an anti-warp composite structure under the veneer, plus four in-rim sensors to detect the winning number. That's a moerse amount of engineering before anybody has placed a single chip!
