A South African gambler, who lost R5.2 million playing at Sun City, has tried to sue the casino for damages. He claimed that Sun City was negligent and failed to protect him since he had placed himself on the ‘banned-list’.

But a Johannesburg High Court ruled that businessman Suhail Essack was in fact responsible for his own misfortune and therefore had no grounds on which to sue Sun City.

The case came before Judge Andy Bester who heard Essack and his wife, Naseera Cassim’s claim that Sun City had been negligent in allowing him to gamble. As a result, they said, Essack blew over R5 million at the casino.

The player drawing the most attention is European Ryder Cup star, Tommy Fleetwood, who will travel to Sun City to defend his title. He lifted the trophy in the 2019 Nedbank Golf Challenge, which was the last year that the event took place because of the global pandemic.

KwaZulu Natal is now licking its wounds after official numbers show that the floods caused over R10 billion in damage. The cost to the area’s tourism industry was especially harsh, with many hotels and casinos reporting losses.

May 1, 2022, Johannesburg, South Africa (Press Release) -- This month, as Mother's Day is celebrated in many countries around the world, Springbok Casino pays tribute to Female Power in the Wild. This month's feature gives ten examples of African animals that live in social systems where strong females are dominant.

Elephants live in herds of females that stick closely together, protecting each other, celebrating the birth of a calf or mourning the death of a member. Naked Mole Rats live their entire lives underground. They are the first mammal discovered to exhibit eusociality, a social organization where only one 'queen' bears offspring.

It’s finally happened! One lucky player won the Powerball PLUS jackpot totally a head spinning R94,446,937 prize! The ticket was bought for the Friday, April 8th Powerball PLUS draw and played via the quick-pick selection. The winner spent just R45 on the ticket.

At this time, the winner still hasn’t come forward to claim his or her prize. It could be that they aren’t aware that they became a multi-millionaire nearly 95 times over, or it could be that they’re buying time in order to allow the news to sink in.
