At Goldrush Gaming Group, we are dedicated to delivering gaming experiences that are fully compliant with South African gambling laws. Our Electronic Bingo Terminals (EBTs) are licensed by the respective Provincial Gambling Boards and operate under strict regulatory guidelines established by the National Gambling Act and provincial legislation.
What Are EBTs?
EBTs are legally classified as bingo games and meet all the technical and operational standards required by South African law. While their design incorporates modern, interactive features to enhance player enjoyment, they are distinct from slot machines and remain fully aligned with the definition of bingo.
How EBTs Differ from Slot Machines
Unlike slot machines, which use independent random number generators (RNGs) to determine the outcome of each spin, EBTs rely on a central server. This server conducts regulated bingo draws, generating outcomes by matching drawn numbers to virtual bingo cards. Any visual elements, such as spinning reels or themed symbols, are added purely for player engagement and have no impact on the results of the game.
Slot machines, on the other hand, operate independently and classify as casino games, requiring specific licensing and restrictions that limit their presence to casinos or Limited Payout Machine (LPM) venues.
Understanding Gameplay Terminology
Occasionally, terms such as “casino,” “slots,” or “casino games” may appear on this website or Goldrush platforms. These terms are used solely to describe the gameplay experience and visual style of EBTs and do not reflect their legal classification. Goldrush ensures that all terminology is clearly understood within the context of entertainment.
Commitment to Compliance and Security
Goldrush Gaming Group maintains full transparency and adheres to all South African gambling regulations. We prioritise security, fair play, and responsible gaming practices, working closely with local and national regulators to deliver a safe and enjoyable gaming environment.
With Goldrush EBTs, you can enjoy a modern and engaging bingo experience while knowing that every aspect complies with the highest legal and ethical standards.
