South African casino fans are in for a real treat with Carnival Casino. This outstanding website has begun opening its doors to our braaivleis-loving nation, and they're not shy about laying on the VIP treatment either. This is a casino that knows how to rewards its regulars, so if you like the red carpet treatment, this is the spot for you.

There's definitely something for everyone here, regardless of whether you're a tannie who loves the slots, or an ou who's more into the cards. If it's the latter, be sure and check out the Blackjack action here, it's superb.

Support is available around the clock, mostly via email and live chats over here. Sadly there isn't a local number to call, but if you feel you need phone support you can always dial their international support number using a VOIP application like Skype.

The welcome bonus is particularly generous – it's one of the best around for sites that support South Africans. You can get up to R1,200 free on your first deposit, which is extremely generous, and R3,400 free on your second. That kind of bonus means you hit the floor with a very fat bankroll indeed.

Definitely a recommended destination for local online casino players, this is an SA casino that "gets it".
