African Grand Casino History
African Grand Casino opened in 2018, targeting players in South Africa. Its games come from Real Time Gaming, a recognized online casino software provider that has operated since 1998.
African Grand Licences, Security and Fair Play
Laws prohibiting online casinos from operating in South Africa mean African Grand has no licence. The review also notes that its games are supplied by RTG, a provider that has worked in online gambling for over 2 decades and is described as having a strong reputation for its RNGs and results. For BTC bets, the casino uses a provably fair algorithm: software can compare cryptocurrency game outcomes with records on Bitcoin’s public ledger.
African Grand Casino Bonuses and Promotions
*The page advertised a special welcome offer for Al Buraq Regina players: R150 Free after completing registration (bonus code: '150FREEBIE'), plus a 200% match bonus up to R20,000 + 50 Free Spins (Bonus code: '200Welcome') on the first deposit.
The promotions section covers several offers, starting with a no deposit bonus, followed by welcome offers for the first, second, and third deposits, as well as recurring promotions.
Standard welcome bonus
The review says registration at African Grand Casino comes with 25 free spins. Winnings from those spins have 0x wagering and a maximum of R2,000. It also advises checking the bonus code associated with the offer.
The welcome bonus comes in 3 stages, linked to the first, second, and third deposits. The review describes deposit matches of up to 750%, plus 110 cash free spins available with the casino’s bonus code. A minimum deposit of R50 is needed to activate each bonus.
- Deposit 1: 200% deposit match and 30 Free Spins for Cash Bandits 3
- Deposit 2: 250% deposit match and 50 Free Spins for Cash Bandits 3
- Deposit 3: 300% deposit match and 30 Free Spins for Cash Bandits 3
Each deposit match requires the applicable current bonus code. The listed terms set wagering at 35x the bonus and cap cash-outs at 10x the deposit amount. Winnings from free spins associated with a deposit match are also subject to 35x wagering.
After completing the wagering requirement, the listed terms require another deposit of at least half the bonus amount converted to cash before a withdrawal is permitted. The review says this condition also applies to the no-deposit free spins bonus.
Listed contribution of bets toward bonus wagering:
- 100% Slots
- 100% Keno
- 100% Board Games
- 100% Real Series Video Slots
- 100% Scratch Cards
- 0% Table Games
Additional Bonuses
The review describes a broad range of African Grand Casino promotions. It states that offers worth less than 100% of a deposit have no cap on the amount that can be converted to cash after wagering is completed. Listed promotions include Jackpot Hunter, said to double a jackpot, a daily bonus bonanza, and seasonal or event offers for Mardi Gras in New Orleans, Easter, and Chinese New Year. Easter is listed twice in the review, which also mentions daily cashback on losses.
African Grand Payment Methods
The review lists 2 ways to play: deposits in ZAR or BTC. It says players must provide identity documents within 14 days of depositing, such as a government-issued ID, passport, or driver’s licence, along with an image of the payment card showing its CVC and other details obscured. Withdrawals are unavailable until the documents are submitted.
Depositing
For ZAR deposits, the listed options are the popular EFT method and major credit or debit cards. Cryptocurrency deposits are sent to a BTC wallet address assigned to the casino account. The casino does not state minimum or maximum deposit amounts.
Withdrawals
The review lists bank transfer as the sole ZAR withdrawal method, alongside BTC wallet withdrawals. For a crypto cash-out, players provide their public key. The stated weekly withdrawal limit is R20,000.
African Grand Casino Games
The casino has a relatively small game selection, sorted into ‘New Games’, ‘Slots’, ‘Table Games’, ‘Video Poker’, ‘Specialty’ and ‘Progressives’.
Game Software Provider
All games in African Grand’s catalogue are from Real Time Gaming (RTG), covering slots, video poker, and table games.
Slots
The slots catalogue contains more than 140 video games. The casino’s ‘Slots’ section presents them in a table listing each title.
The table can be sorted by ‘Lines’ or ‘Jackpot’. Payline counts range from 1 line to games with 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, 13, 15, 20, 25, 27, 30, 33, 50, and 88 lines. Some games use 243 ways to win rather than paylines; examples include Pig Winner, The Mariachi 5, Stardust, and Asgard.
Filters at the top of the page sort games into 3-reel, 5-reel, and 6-reel slots, titles with bonus rounds or floating symbols, and progressive jackpots. RTG progressive examples include Megasaur, Spirit of Inca, Jackpot Cleopatra’s Gold, and Aztec’s Millions.
Table Games
The ‘Table Games’ section has just over 15 titles, including several blackjack variations, a baccarat table, and a wider selection of poker games. Examples include Tri Card Poker, Pai Gow Poker, and Caribbean Stud Poker. The ‘Specialty’ section features European Roulette, American Roulette, Keno, Craps, and scratchcards. The ‘Video Poker’ section has over 50 games.
Live Casino
RTG provides live casino games through an aggregator solution, but African Grand does not use it because of South African licensing restrictions. As a result, the casino has no live games.
African Grand Mobile Casino
The games are HTML5-compatible and can be played in a phone or tablet browser without downloading an app. The review describes opening African Grand’s home page on a mobile device, registering, and then using its responsive HTML5 platform to access slots, video poker, and table games.
Customer Support
The review lists toll-free phone, live chat, and email support, available 24/7 and 365 days per week.
