What Happens in Vegas Stays at Springbok… Come Fill Your Piggy Bank!

Most of us have never set foot in Las Vegas, and yet every one of us could describe the place without pausing for breath. Neon the size of a block of flats, a pink flamingo above a doorway, and a card table with no clock and no window anywhere near it. That picture has been sold to us in films for eighty years, and the history behind it is stranger than most of them. Here at Springbok Casino we've just added a pig who owes his entire wardrobe to that picture.

The pig in question is Winnie, and he's the reason we're standing in a virtual Nevada at all. Winnie the Piggie Las Vegas is the new online casino slot in the Springbok Casino lobby, and we added it at the end of July looking exactly like the Strip fantasy it is – marquee bulbs, a hot pink jacket, a gold chain, and a martini the oke has no intention of putting down. Winnie doesn’t arrive empty-handed though… but with bonus codes galore!

Vegas, Monte Carlo & Mzansi – Ranking the Gambling Capitals

The first great gambling capital was Monte Carlo. François Blanc opened the Casino de Monte-Carlo in 1863 and founded the Société des Bains de Mer to operate it, which turned a broke principality into the address every European aristocrat wanted in a passport. Monaco's own citizens were forbidden from playing there – and that rule still applies today! Picture a casino in Sandton that no South African may enter... Aikona, that’s a recipe for a toi-toi!

Vegas came seventy years later, from the other direction. Nevada legalised gambling on 19 March 1931 to stop its population leaving, El Rancho Vegas opened on the Strip in April 1941, and Bugsy Siegel's Flamingo followed in December 1946. Monte Carlo started with princes, then, and Nevada started with a budget crisis – far more relatable, nê? Macau overtook them both in 2006, yet Vegas is what we all know... Eighty years of films will do that!

Mzansi's own answer opened on 7 December 1979, and it exists because of a loophole. Gambling was prohibited in South Africa itself, so Sol Kerzner built Sun City inside Bophuthatswana – a nominally independent homeland, and an easy drive from Johannesburg and Pretoria. In 1992 he added the Palace of the Lost City, artificial beach and alles. We clearly know how to build a Vegas down here, okes, and our new online casino slot proves that!

Winnie the Piggie Las Vegas – The Newest Slot in Our Lobby

Our newest Vegas addition is a pig in sunglasses and he's already in your browser. Winnie the Piggie Las Vegas is a SpinLogic title, and the most recent new online casino slot we've added to the Springbok Casino lobby. It has three reels, three rows and a medium volatility rating, and the gameboard structure comprises five fixed paylines. This makes for a kiff change from the five-reel configurations that dominate our lobby.

That little 3x3 grid still has four jackpot levels, a Hold & Spin round with re-spins, and a top award of 10,000 times your base bet! That is a serious amount of machinery for a game you could mistake for a fruit machine if you didn’t know any better. Every payout figure on this new online casino slot is calculated from your base bet, while all four jackpots are calculated from your total, and we’re about to get into those exact details next!

The Reels & Paylines – How a Winnie Win Is Formed

Most of us tap spin before we bother checking how a win is even formed, so let's turn that around on this new online casino slot. Identical symbols must appear consecutively from the leftmost reel to the right, along one of five fixed paylines, so three of a kind is the only winning combination on the whole paytable. No scatter symbol appears anywhere in this game either, which is unusual for a SpinLogic release – and for most slots in general!

Your total bet is divided across those five paylines, and the rules define the base bet as one fifth of the total. Set R25 as your total and your base bet is R5, while the R0.05 minimum works out to one cent and the R40 ceiling to R8. Keep those in your kop, because every multiplier on the paytable applies to the base bet rather than the amount in your bet field. Once you have that, you can work out every payout figure on this new online casino slot at Springbok Casino!

The Paytable – Winnie's Symbols in Payout Order

The paytable presents nine paying symbols, and their order contains a small surprise... Three of a kind on the club, spade, diamond or heart pays 10 times your base bet, which puts the four card suits at the bottom of the ladder where you'd expect them. The red dice and the green martini both pay 20 times. The green 777 pays 30, and the red 777 jumps all the way up to 100 times, which is a steep climb between two symbols that look almost identical on the reels.

Above every one of them is the Wild, at 150 times your base bet for three of a kind. That makes the substitute symbol the biggest payer on the grid, which is the reverse of the usual arrangement on a new online casino slot… Typically, a wild substitutes for other symbols and pays very little on its own account. At R40 a spin, your base bet is R8, so three pigs in sunglasses pays out R1,200 on a single line – a lekker return on the biggest bet this game allows!

The four card suits at the bottom are what fund the wait for that, and the same is true of every new online casino slot in the Springbok Casino lobby. Where Winnie the Piggie Las Vegas differs from most is in what happens to the Wild once a bonus round has started, because that 150 times figure only applies in the base game. We'll come back to that in a moment… it's the single best reason to keep one eye on reel two and the other on the pig!

Bonus & Super Bonus Symbols – Reel Two Is Reserved

Two symbols on this new online casino slot pay nothing at all on their own account, and those are the two to watch. The Bonus Symbol appears only on reels one and three, and each one displays a cash value on its face. The Super Bonus Symbol appears only on reel two, and it never turns up anywhere else on the screen, which is a restriction the developers built in deliberately. Neither symbol pays a single cent as part of a normal three-in-a-row combination.

The reason for that restriction becomes obvious the moment you see the two of them together on the reels. The Super Bonus Symbol is the collector, and a bonus round only begins when it appears alongside at least one Bonus Symbol. Two Bonus Symbols with an empty reel two is nothing but a near miss, however good it looks. Reel two is therefore the reel to watch on every spin you take on this new online casino slot – nothing at all happens without it, verstaan?

Hold & Spin – Adding Up the Bonus Symbol Values

Right, this is the crux of Winnie the Piggie Las Vegas. Three separate things will start a Hold & Spin round: winning the collector in the base game, landing two Bonus Symbols together with a Super Bonus Symbol, or paying for the Buy Feature. The round opens with three re-spins, and each time a new symbol appears the counter resets to three. Every Bonus Symbol already on the grid is held in exactly the position where it appeared.

The Super Bonus Symbol on reel two stays fixed while all of that happens, and that whole total is paid to your balance as one single amount at the end. Is there a second stage or a wheel to be spun afterwards? No, and that is refreshingly direct for a feature of this size. Five steps make up a round on this new online casino slot, and they are the clearest way to see why one pays R12 and the next pays R1,200 on the identical bet:

1. Two Bonus Symbols appear together with a Super Bonus Symbol, or you win the collector in the base game, or you pay for the Buy Feature.
2. Three re-spins begin, with every Bonus Symbol already on the grid held in the position where it appeared.
3. Each new symbol that appears resets the re-spin counter back to three, so the round can extend well past its opening three.
4. Every Bonus Symbol value, plus any Mini, Minor, Major or Grand Jackpot symbol, is added to the Super Bonus Symbol on reel two.
5. When the re-spins finally run out, the whole total collected on that Super Bonus Symbol is paid to your balance.

A round where nothing new appears is over in three re-spins, while a productive one continues for as long as new symbols keep appearing, which restores the counter to three. That is the entire appeal of a Hold & Spin, and it's why three reels keep you engaged far longer than you would expect from a grid this size. A lot of mileage comes out of very little real estate here, mense. The Wild multipliers are where it gets properly mal, though!

Wild Multipliers – When Stacking Them Up Pays Two Times Over!

During a Hold & Spin round the Wild has a completely different function. Each Wild that appears on a position adds a x2 multiplier to that spot, and every additional Wild on the same position adds another x1 on top of it. A second Wild takes that spot to x3, a third takes it to x4, and every multiplier stays active until the round ends. None of them reset when the re-spin counter does, so a position you built up early is still multiplied at the end.

Any Bonus Symbol that appears on a multiplied position has its own value multiplied to match, which is the compounding effect the whole feature is built around. A position holding three Wilds turns a R20 Bonus Symbol into R80 the moment one appears there, and the effect multiplies again with every Wild after that. Yoh! That is how a modest-looking round on a R1 bet ends up somewhere you did not see coming, and it's why we called this section ‘two times over’!

Four Jackpot Levels – What the GRAND Pays at Your Bet Size

Multipliers are one thing, and the four jackpot levels on this new online casino slot are quite another. The GRAND pays 1,000 times your total bet, and that one figure is the reason two Bokke can chase the same jackpot for wildly different money. Major pays 100 times, Minor 25 times and Mini 15 times, with all four calculated off the total bet rather than the base bet. Change your total and all four figures change along with it, in both directions.

Which brings us to the bet range, and to the one thing we would say to any oke opening this game for the first time. The minimum total bet on this new online casino slot is R0.05 and the maximum is R40, so the ladder spans 800 times over. The game opens with R25 already selected in the bet field, which is 500 times the floor. Check that figure before your thumb finds the spin button, mense! One tap at R25 costs you what five hundred spins cost at the floor.

Here is what the bet size does to all four jackpot levels, taken straight off our own lobby at both ends of the range. Same symbols, same chance of them appearing, very different money in your account when they do. We've put the Buy Feature price in the bottom row as well, since it is calculated on exactly the same basis. Every figure below came off the game itself and not out of a launch email, so these are the numbers you'll see on your own screen:

The GRAND on this new online casino slot pays R50 at the minimum bet and R40,000 at the maximum, off exactly the same symbol appearing in exactly the same way. Yes, that is us pointing straight at the cheapest spins in the game and telling you what they will pay. You can work out any bet in between, because the multipliers never change and only your bet field does. Here is Winnie the Piggie Las Vegas in one block, every figure off the game itself:

• Reels and paylines – three reels, three rows and five fixed paylines, paying left to right from reel one.
• Bet range – R0.05 minimum to R40 maximum in rand, with R25 already selected when the game opens.
• Volatility – medium, between our low-volatility three-reelers and the full Real-Series storms.
• Top award – 10,000 times the base bet on a single paid spin, at which point all features stop.
• Main feature – Hold & Spin with re-spins, Wild multipliers and four jackpot levels.
• Platform – instant play in your browser on desktop and mobile, as with every new online casino slot we add.

Are You an Impatient Piggy? Then Buy Your Way into Winnings!

Some of us will grind through two hundred spins waiting for a feature on a new online casino slot, and some of us will not. An answer for the second group is right there on the screen. The Buy Feature is direct entry into a Hold & Spin round, bought outright, and it costs 34 times your current total bet. At the R0.05 minimum, that comes to R1.70, and at the R40 ceiling it comes to R1,360, with every bet in between scaling on the same multiple.

The R25 launch bet puts that purchase at R850, which is the figure to weigh up for a moment. Is buying it ever the cheaper option? Here is the sum, in rand. Thirty-four times your bet is the price of one guaranteed round, so it only pays for itself if a Hold & Spin would otherwise have taken more than thirty-four spins to trigger, and on a medium volatility game we would not back either side of that with our own money at Springbok Casino.

What we can tell you is what R850 does to a session. That single tap is thirty-four spins gone, so you'd get one purchase out of a R1,000 balance and very little afterwards. Drop your total bet to R1 first and the identical feature costs you R34, which is the version we would choose ourselves on any new online casino slot in the Springbok Casino lobby. Impatient is fine, Bokke – impatient and skraal together is a rof combination!

The August Piggy Bank Filler – Every Winnie Coupon Code at Springbok!

Speaking of what a session costs, the part you've been scrolling for is right here. Three coupon codes are attached to this launch, all three of them in your Springbok Casino inbox, and all three valid until 31 August. Every one of them needs a deposit, and every one is redeemed the same way – open the cashier, find the 'Redeem Coupon' section, and enter the code by hand or click it straight from the mail, whichever is quicker on the device you're holding.

WINNIE pays 50 free spins on this new online casino slot and can be used on as many as ten separate deposits. Before you can claim your WINNIE code, you need to make a real ZAR deposit first. If you’re unsure about the amount, reach out to our customer support team. To claim all the codes, sommer take a photograph of the list below, because the codes are case-sensitive and you want to remember those playthrough figures:

• WINNIE – 50 free spins on Winnie the Piggie Las Vegas, usable on up to ten separate deposits – requires a previous deposit.
• WP100 – a 100% match up to R3,000 plus 50 free spins, a R250 minimum deposit, and no maximum payout at all.
• WP250 – a 250% match up to R5,000 plus 50 free spins, a R250 minimum deposit, and a maximum payout of 15 times your deposit.
• Free spins playthrough – 20 times on both WP100 and WP250, applied to the spins alone.

Two standing rules apply behind all three codes, and neither one appears in the mail itself. Where free spins come attached to a deposit coupon, the playthrough is 30 times the deposit and bonus combined, unless different terms are stated on the coupon itself. Your maximum bet during any playthrough is R100, which holds for every Springbok Casino bonus rather than these three alone. You also play the free spins out before the bonus balance...

Put all of that into rand and it looks like this. You deposit R250 on WP250 and play with R875, which is R625 of our money added to your own deposit before Winnie has turned a single reel. The 50 free spins are added on top of that balance, and all fifty are played on this new online casino slot. Terms can change, so go and check the facts for yourself before you play – then go and see whether reel two pays out the way we've described!

Quick FAQs on Winnie the Piggie Slot at Springbok Casino

Winnie the Piggie Las Vegas slot appeared in the Springbok Casino lobby at the end of July, and if we had to approach our own support crew for a few answers, these would probably be it. A few of them relate to how this new online casino slot works off two different bet bases, and the rest are what most of us would ask before parting with a real ZAR deposit. Right, now for the burning questions on everyone’s lips – and their answers…

Q: How many reels and paylines does Winnie the Piggie Las Vegas have?

A: Three reels, three rows and five fixed paylines. Wins are formed by identical symbols appearing consecutively from the leftmost reel to the right, so three of a kind is the only combination on the paytable of this new online casino slot. There is no scatter symbol and no ways-to-win format in the game at all, and the five paylines cannot be switched off or reduced.

Q: Which symbol pays the most on Winnie the Piggie Las Vegas?

A: The Wild, at 150 times your base bet for three of a kind on this new online casino slot at Springbok Casino. The red 777 is next at 100 times your base bet, then the green 777 at 30 times. At the R40 maximum your base bet is R8, so three Wilds pays R1,200 on a single line, and the Wild substitutes for every symbol on the grid except the Bonus and Super Bonus Symbols.

Q: What triggers the Hold & Spin feature on Winnie the Piggie?

A: Three separate things will start it on this new online casino slot. Winning the collector in the base game, getting two Bonus Symbols together with a Super Bonus Symbol, or buying direct entry with the Buy Feature for 34 times your total bet. However it starts, the round opens with three re-spins at Springbok Casino, and that counter resets to three every time a new symbol appears on the grid.

Q: How much is the Grand Jackpot on Winnie the Piggie in rand?

A: R50 at the R0.05 minimum bet and R40,000 at the R40 maximum, because the GRAND pays 1,000 times your total bet. The Major pays 100 times, the Minor 25 times and the Mini 15 times on this new online casino slot. All four levels rise and fall with whatever figure you have showing in the bet field, since every one of them is calculated off your total bet rather than your base bet.

Q: How much does the Winnie the Piggie Buy Feature cost?

A: Thirty-four times your current total bet on this new online casino slot, every time. That works out at R1.70 on the R0.05 minimum, R850 at the R25 the game opens on, and R1,360 at the R40 ceiling. The purchase awards one Hold & Spin round immediately at Springbok Casino, with the same three re-spins as a naturally triggered round and the same Wild multipliers running through it.

Q: Can I play Winnie the Piggie Las Vegas on my phone?

A: Yes, and the game opens straight in your browser. Springbok Casino is an instant play HTML5 casino, so this new online casino slot runs on a phone exactly as it does on a desktop. The full bet range from R0.05 to R40, all four jackpot levels and the Buy Feature are identical on both screens, and the Hold & Spin round with its Wild multipliers works exactly the same way on each.

Q: How do I claim the free spins on Winnie the Piggie?

A: Make a deposit, then open the cashier and enter your code in the 'Redeem Coupon' section. WINNIE pays 50 free spins on this new online casino slot on its own, while WP100 and WP250 add 50 spins to a deposit match. WP100 and WP250 both have a R250 minimum deposit, while no minimum is stated for WINNIE. All three codes expire on 31 August, so check the terms in your Springbok Casino inbox first.

Meet Winnie on the Strip – Redeem Your Codes at Springbok Casino!

Monte Carlo shut its own citizens out, Nevada needed a budget crisis to get going, and Sun City existed only because of a border drawn on a map. Getting onto Winnie the Piggie Las Vegas takes a Springbok Casino coupon code and about four seconds of your time, which is the best deal any of the four has ever put on the table! The Strip has never been cheaper to visit either, because five cents is enough to get you onto the reels and into the Vegas of your own choosing.

Go and fetch them from your casino inbox, Bokke, before the month ends. WINNIE pays the 50 free spins on their own, WP100 is a 100% match up to R3,000 with 50 spins on top, and WP250 is a 250% match up to R5,000 with the same 50 spins attached. All three are in your Springbok Casino inbox, all three expire on 31 August, and all three are for the same new online casino slot and the same pig in the same hot pink jacket!
