The casino at Sun International’s luxury beach resort, Wild Coast Sun, a favourite destination for punters from KwaZulu-Natal and neighbouring Eastern Cape, paid out more than R67-million last year.
Two millionaires were created, winning R1,3-million and R1,1-milion respectively. “One lucky winner was in our Salon Privé playing on one of our R10 machines called 5 Dragons Gold, an entertaining Aristocrat classic game which is loved by all, with a minimum bet of R500 and maximum of R2 500,” said Ntjie Mothapo, Wild Coast Sun Gaming Technical Manager. The second millionaire was playing the Sun International Wide Area Progressive game called Sunstriker, which has a minimum bet of R5.”
Of the total R67-million won, 59% was in the Salon Privé, 41% in the main casino.
“We are proud of our beautiful new Salon Privé which was refurbished last year as part of the property's extensive improvements, and glad that our regular guests have voted with their feet and shown that they are also enjoying these and other new facilities,” said Wild Coast Sun General Manager Peter Tshidi. “We are Sun International’s only casino which has a beautiful sea views and you can enjoy a drink while overlooking the tranquil ocean before going back to gaming.”
