Written by: Khanya Mavata Save to Instapaper
Almost to R7-million in prizes over September and October 2025
Carnival City celebrates its 26th birthday this October with a true carnival of thrills, jackpots, and unforgettable moments. The party starts early, featuring a line-up of gaming promotions and a massive R6.975 million in prizes and cash up for grabs—keeping the excitement alive all spring long.
The festivities have already begun with the Most Valued Guest (MVG) VIP Points Chase in the Privé, where players are racing up the leaderboard for fantastic rewards. Every Saturday brings even more carnival magic with our weekly draws. Guests can spin the wheel for a R50 000 cash jackpot, with the prize rolling over if it’s not won, turning up the tension week after week. To add even more sparkle, car giveaways will take place on 27 September and 25 October, when lucky winners driving away in style – from a Toyota Starlet or Toyota Cross in September to a Mercedes-Benz C200 or C43 AMG in October.
Diamond MVG guests can join the exclusive Privé Diamond Draws, with R50 000 in cash given away every Friday evening. These draws run from September through November, ensuring a steady stream of carnival excitement for our most valued players.
“From now through to our birthday month in October, Carnival City will be buzzing with the colour, energy and spirit of celebration that only a true carnival can bring — and with so many opportunities to win, the fun never stops. Beyond the gaming floor, there will be plenty of other activities happening across the property in September and October, and yes — there will even be a day of cake, so keep your eyes open for that sweet surprise,” said Bryan O'Connor, Carnival City’s General Manager.
Over the next two months, Carnival City will host a colourful lineup of live performances, featuring top-tier acts including Lira, Amanda Black and Pastor Donnie McClurkin – because what’s a carnival, after all, without unforgettable shows?
