Betting Games

We recommend starting with the more simple games, such as crazy time, dream catcher, and wheel of fortune.

With these games, there is a wheel that is spun by a live in house person, and you bet on which colour or number the needle will be on when the wheel stops spinning.

You’re simply tasked with choosing the colour or number that the needle is pointing on. As you get used to this game, you can move onto more complicated games.

The following are some of the games that had some of the lowest opening bets:

Deal or No Deal: R1.00

Crazy Time: R1.00

MegaBall: R1.00

First Person Dream Catcher: R1.00

Dream Catcher: R1.00

That’s impossible to say.

Some betting games are based purely on luck, while others can be based on working out some probabilities.

In our humble (yet expert) opinion, there are no games that are easiest to win per se.

Each game has its own uniqueness and unpredictability, making each special.

Lucky 5, Lucky 6 and Lucky 7 are essentially the same game, with slightly altered rules.

The number of winning balls is altered, along with the number of total balls in the draw.

In Lucky 5, five winning balls are drawn from a total of 36 balls.

Players are able to bet on the available outcomes that are listed, which include everything from the different coloured balls, to combinations.

In Lucky 6, 6 winning balls are drawn from a total of 60 balls.

Similarly with lucky 6, a list of outcomes are presented underneath the live stream, where you can make your selections. Some of the outcomes include numbers, count, colours, and total sum.

Again, the same notion is applied to Lucky 7, where 7 winning balls are drawn from a total of 42 balls. Winning selections can return as much as 2000 times the stake.

Again, there are a number of outcomes to select from, including colour combinations, total count, and odds/evens.

Largely based on Texas-Hold-Em Poker, Bet on Poker involved placing bets on hands and combinations.

The dealer draws 12 cards face up to six different positions (referred to as hands), so that each position gets 2 face up cards.

Later on, five community cards, known as the board, are dealt over three rounds, face up.

The name of the game is to bet on the hand that will get the best combo when you combine one of the positions with cards on the board in a five card combo.

You are able to bet every round, round 1 being when the two face up cards are drawn to the six different “hands”, the second being during the three “board” cards are drawn by the dealer face up, the third during a fourth ”board” card is drawn face up, and the last round before the final card is drawn face up.

You are granted an unlimited number of bets. You can also bet on the combinations of the cards.

Based on the popular casino game Baccarat, the game is played between two “sides”: the Player and the Banker.

The dealer draws two face up cards per round, one going to each side (so one card per side, per round). You get to place your bets after the first cards are dealt.

The name of the game is to bet on the side you think is going to get closest to or equal to nine. Face cards, and 10 cards are equal to zero in this game. If you bet on the player, and that side’s cards equal to 8, while the banker’s cards equal to 3, you would win your bet.

You can also place side bets (pairs, colours, suites, totals, and odds/evens).

Dream Catcher is a wheel spin game where you’re given the opportunity to place bets on different outcomes based on where on the wheel a fixed needle will appear when the wheel stops spinning.

There are different colours, each appearing a different number of times. Yellow appears the most times on the wheel, and is the most likely outcome, Blue Purple, Green Orange and Red are also colours you can bet, each present less and less times on the wheel.

To bet, simply ensure you have money in your account, and select the amount you wish to bet, and select one of the colours.

• Note: There are a number of bonus games available, but we recommend starting with the spins, and moving on from there.

Megaball is a lottery based game where you have the opportunity to buy a “card” that has 25 numbers on it (the numbers appear on 25 different squares on the card).

20 numbered balls are then drawn, as you watch to see if the balls that have been drawn match up with the numbers on your card.

Every matched number creates a link in a line, and if a full horizontal, vertical or diagonal line matches up, you win your bet!

Lightning roulette is largely based on regular roulette, with one major twist.

As usual, you place a bet on the number, and if the ball lands in the square of the number you picked, you win.

What’s different about lightning roulette however, is that it involves a “lightning round” whereby three numbers are randomly chosen and given huge payout boosts (up to 500 x the normal payout).

This all happens before the ball has reached its destination, making the anticipation that much more exciting.

One of the newest live game inclusions on many of South Africa’s top betting sites, Gonzo’s treasure hunt has a few moving parts attached to it.

First up, you need to select one or more treasure stones that you think you will find.

Then you need to select the number of picks (1-20).

Your bet is then calculated by the amount of money you have placed, multiplied by the number of picks you have selected.

Gonzo then turns his key, which then shows the treasure stones on the wall. You win your bet if you have correctly picked a treasure stone, and your return is your stake multiplied by the amount attached to the treasure stone.

The same concept applied to virtual soccer betting is applied to virtual horse racing betting.

The virtual renditions can be rather exciting to watch, as they are action packed and rather unpredictable.

You have the option to place bets on Win, Place and Combos markets.

Horse racing roulette is largely similar to virtual horse racing, but differs in the fact that involves a roulette table, representing the different horses that are running.

Once you’ve made your selection from the roulette table, you can select the type of bet you’d like to place (win or place), and then you’re able to go ahead and enter your stake and confirm your bet.

Virtual Nascar racing is another popular virtual sport that can be found within the Jika Sports category, and again, involves simulated Nascar events.

Like with most racing events, you’re able to choose between win and place bets, as well as combos.

Gonzo’s treasure is our favourite live game, because while it may be a little more complicated than some of it’s other live game counterparts, it’s a helluva lot of fun.

There’s something about little Gonzo and all of his mannerisms that made us love the game. That, mixed in with the interactiveness of the game, with choosing different treasure stones, and the number of picks you get, leads to an all round awesome experience.

Take note: it’s best to read the instructions well on this one, as it may be hard to get the hang of if you go in blind.

While it was tricky to come up with a lucky numbers category that was our favourite, we thought we’d have to go with the local draw, because local is lekker.

There are a number of South African draws to choose from, but the powerball is the one we usually play when we fancy our chances on the numbers.

The truth is, wherever you’re feeling lucky, is where you should be placing your lucky numbers bets.

Like with it’s real counterpart, virtual soccer betting is the most popular out of each of the virtual betting games.

The reason for this is pretty self explanatory, people love to bet on soccer, and all of it’s many forms.

What’s more is that out of all of the different types of virtual games to bet on, soccer betting has the most markets, and is often the fairest reflection of the real thing.

If you’re new to betting games, we always recommend starting with smaller wagers.

Especially as you start getting the hang of different games. Most games have really low opening bets, starting from as little as R1.00, so make use of those smaller wagers while you’re learning.

When we speak about wager limits in this sense, we’re talking more along of the lines of the number of wagers you make in one sitting.

If you continuously bet and bet and bet, you’ll go down a dangerous path, and that we wish no one to go down.

Rather tell yourself that you’ll play a certain game 3 times, or 5 times, and then stop it there, and move onto something else.

This is something we always ensure that we stick to.

This is pretty standard practice for all of gambling. If you’re betting or wagering more than you are willing to lose, then we recommend revisiting your betting habits.

This is also part of the reason we recommend going with smaller wagers right in the beginning.

It's simple: bet with amounts that you’re okay to not see come back.

We always recommend starting with games that are a little more straight forward and not rule laden.

Games like Poker, and even Baccarat to a certain extent can be full of rules, and may take some time to fully come to terms with.

Like with anything in the beginning, take it easy, choose the simpler games that we’ve suggested (dream catcher, crazy time, wheel of fortune, roulette), and take it from there.

You can always build on your knowledge along the way.
