At Goldrush Durban, we take pride in offering an exhilarating gaming experience while maintaining full compliance with South African gambling laws. Operating under the strict oversight of the National Gambling Act and relevant provincial regulations, our Electronic Bingo Terminals (EBTs) are fully licensed and approved by the appropriate Provincial Gambling Boards. This ensures that all gaming activities adhere to the highest legal and ethical standards, providing a secure and responsible environment for every player.
What Makes Our EBTs Unique
At Goldrush Durban, EBTs are classified as bingo games under South African law. These cutting-edge gaming terminals meet all regulatory and technical requirements while delivering an engaging and immersive experience. Although they feature modern designs, including spinning reels and themed visuals, these elements are purely for entertainment and do not change the legally defined bingo gameplay.
The Difference Between EBTs and Slot Machines
Understanding the distinction between EBTs and slot machines is crucial:
- Slot Machines: Each slot machine functions independently with its own random number generator (RNG). This means every spin is a separate, unpredictable event that directly determines the outcome. Slot machines are classified as casino games and can only operate within licensed casinos or Limited Payout Machine (LPM) venues.
- EBTs at Goldrush Durban: Unlike slot machines, our EBTs function as bingo interfaces. All outcomes are generated by a central server conducting regulated bingo draws. Randomly drawn numbers are matched to players’ virtual bingo cards, ensuring a fair and transparent process. The spinning reels and themed visuals serve as a fun enhancement but do not influence the outcome of the game.
This fundamental difference in operation and licensing ensures that EBTs remain fully compliant with South African gambling regulations while delivering an exciting and rewarding experience for players.
Transparency in Gaming Terminology
At Goldrush Durban, you may see terms like “casino,” “slots,” or “casino games” used across our platforms. These terms describe the entertainment style and presentation of our games but do not imply a legal classification. We prioritise transparency, ensuring that every player understands the nature of the games they engage with and the regulations governing them.
Commitment to Compliance and Fair Play
Goldrush Durban operates with complete transparency and collaborates closely with regulatory bodies to maintain a safe and responsible gaming environment. Our commitment to compliance ensures that:

The Basics of Bingo Machines
At Goldrush Durban, Electronic Bingo Terminals (EBTs) offer a modern twist on traditional bingo. Each machine features a central bingo draw that randomly selects numbers, assisting players in achieving the ever-so-elusive bingo. The highlight of the EBT experience is the auto-daubing system. Once you’ve marked your numbers, the machine will automatically daub them for you as the numbers are drawn, so you can kick back and enjoy the game without the worry of missing a number.
How to Get Started
Getting in on the action at Goldrush Durban is a piece of cake! First things first, you’ll need to buy a ticket. Head over to the ticketing kiosks, where you can purchase your preferred bingo cards, choosing the number of games you want to play. After that, it’s time to place your bet. Simply choose your stake and get ready for the draw. As the numbers come up, keep an eye on your screen and let the machine do the daubing for you. It’s as simple as that! Just sit back, relax, and experience the thrill as the numbers unfold.
Why EBTs are Different from Slots
Now you might be wondering, what’s the difference between EBTs and those flashy slot machines? Well, mate, it’s all about the game’s nature. Electronic Bingo Terminals are strictly regulated, making them a fair play option with definite odds and a communal atmosphere. Unlike slots, where you’re competing against the machine, EBTs provide a social experience amongst fellow players, all vying for the same winnings! Plus, with bingo, you’re not just relying on luck; there’s also strategy involved!
Winning Strategies
If you’re keen to maximise your potential wins, you’ll want to keep a few strategies in mind. First off, take a good look at the different bet levels. Playing at higher stakes can lead to larger payouts, but always choose a level that feels comfortable for your pocket. Additionally, familiarise yourself with the payout structures of the games you choose, as they can vary. Lastly, embrace the camaraderie at the terminals. Sometimes a little chat with your fellow players can help unlock some useful tips, and let’s be honest, it just makes the experience that much more fun! Remember, it’s all about enjoying the atmosphere while you’re in the buzzing heart of Durban’s gambling scene!
