We have some amazing (and very rewarding) promotions and giveaways lined up for 2009 and the African Palace team has been firing on all cylinders to finalise the new and exciting developments that will be coming online soon.

Winners abounded at African Palace over the festive season, garnering small amounts to truly amazing windfalls. Here is what some of our winners have to say…

The very excited Marie VW explains how she won the very impressive amount of R8, 5 million. “I had deposited R2 000 in order to try out all the games that I hadn’t played before. I came across Beach Life, which I really enjoyed and after a couple of spins, I decided to get up and look out the window to see if my garden service had finished. As I left my computer, I spun the slot. When I came back I saw that I had won something but I did not have my glasses on so I thought that I had only won R850 and decided to log off to withdraw the money.”

She continues, “When I logged on again I saw that it was actually a massive jackpot of R8, 5 million. I started to laugh as I thought it was a joke but after contacting the help desk, they reassured me that it was real! Only then did I begin to believe that I had cracked it big. I am still overwhelmed and I’ve got my promotional cheque sitting in my lounge at home and every day I go and look at it to make sure it is not a dream.”

Ferdi and Lisa won R8 000, which has left them speechless! Ferdi continues “The money came at just the right time with the holiday season and as we were doing a big renovation of our kitchen. The most exciting part of winning was that this was the first time Lisa and I had played at African Palace and we won this amount off out first deposit and joining bonus!” They are now aiming for the jackpot and we are going to keep a close eye on them!

Another lucky player was Ramona, who was thrilled with her win of R15 000. Her story has a heartbreaking twist to it – she has decided to use the money to help her sister who has recently been diagnosed with cancer and Ramona has pledged her winnings towards covering her treatment. She says “I am very impressed with African Palace and their staff – they are always very helpful and friendly!”

Di K scooped two wins in two weeks! She won R6 500 playing various slot games in the first week of January but hit the big time with the coup of R24 745 a week later. She says “I would like to congratulate African Palace for providing such a user friendly gaming service. I have had hours of entertainment in the comfort of my very own home and more excitingly some wonderful winnings!”

Congratulations to our many winners - we wish you all of the best in fulfilling your dreams!
