In the northern arc of Pretoria, surrounded by established suburbs and bustling retail centres, Kolonnade stands tall as one of the region’s most frequented shopping and lifestyle destinations. Nestled within this dynamic space is Goldrush Kolonnade, a gaming venue that seamlessly blends refinement, community warmth, and the undeniable thrill of the Cash Rush promotion.
Kolonnade has long been a staple in Pretoria North, serving shoppers, families, and professionals looking for convenience and variety. But walk a little further and you’ll find a different kind of attraction, a buzzing gaming floor where the anticipation is real and every moment holds potential. Goldrush Kolonnade doesn’t announce itself loudly. The layout is thoughtfully designed to feel both expansive and intimate. Players find quiet focus at their favourite machines while still sensing the collective energy of the room. The lighting is calm. The air, expectant.
Unlike occasional giveaways or one-off campaigns, Cash Rush is an ongoing, integrated promotion that turns ordinary game nights into opportunities for extraordinary wins. At Kolonnade, the structure of the promotion builds excitement throughout the week.
Each swipe at an EBT gets you closer to an entry. Draws happen regularly, some planned, others pop-up surprises. Fridays and weekends bring in higher volumes, but the promotion remains active throughout the week, giving consistent players multiple touchpoints to win. When a name is called, there’s an eruption, part disbelief, part joy. Applause spreads through the floor. Friends celebrate. Strangers offer congratulatory nods. It’s that blend of personal chance and communal excitement that defines the Cash Rush vibe.
Fridays You Don’t Want to Miss
The Friday Cash Rush sessions have become something of a weekly institution. Players plan their visits around them. Couples make date nights of it. Friends carpool in. It’s not just about the jackpot, it’s about the buzz.
Draws are spaced throughout the evening, creating natural peaks of tension and release. Between each announcement, the hum of machines and light conversation carries the atmosphere. Then, as the time nears, the energy tightens, until finally the name is drawn. And just like that, one evening becomes unforgettable.
Some players swear by the first draw of the night, others hold out for the late-night luck. But everyone agrees, the adrenaline rush is unmatched, and the shared suspense brings people together.
Kolonnade’s Goldrush doesn’t serve just gamers, it serves a whole community. From Montana to Sinoville, Doornpoort to Wonderboom, locals find a trusted, familiar space here. It’s where you might run into someone from your church, your gym, or your child’s school, and that’s part of the appeal.
Yet, despite its community orientation, the venue maintains a premium feel. Staff are professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm. They greet regulars by name, guide new players without judgment, and keep the environment flowing smoothly.
There’s also a social charm unique to Kolonnade. Strangers chat across machines. Small groups celebrate together. Newcomers are welcomed with tips and good-luck wishes. It’s not rare for a Friday night to start with a quick play and end in a few new friendships.
Designed for Real People
While the gaming is at the centre, Goldrush Kolonnade has gone to great lengths to make the space comfortable. Machines are spaced generously. Seating is plush and clean. Break areas offer places to chat, relax, or sip a coffee between rounds.
Accessibility is also a major draw. The venue is connected to the broader Kolonnade complex, offering secure parking, food options, and retail access. Whether you’re making a dedicated trip or stopping in after errands, it’s a convenient, safe, and stylish stop.
Parents often drop in for a short round while running errands. Couples swing by after dinner. It’s this flexibility that makes Kolonnade a central part of many people’s routines.

The energy behind the Cash Rush has led to exciting new plans for the Kolonnade location:
