Real Tables 24/7
Wild Coast Casino Live Casino
Live Casino Floor
We’ve kept our gaming floor busy since getting approved by the Eastern Cape Gambling Board - that licence keeps us open into the early 2040s. Guests can walk into live tables, any day from 11:00, see the roulette wheels, blackjack, and poker in action. Actual dealers run every game at the tables, you won’t encounter video streams or virtual substitutes here. Some tables run longer on weekends or busy nights, others might close early in the off-season, but real cards and chips are always in play.
For slots, it’s non-stop. Slot machines light up 24/7, all working with a cashless smart card. These slots are always ready - you might spot classic three-reelers sitting next to video slots packed with features. Some regulars stick to low minimum bets, others ramp things up pretty high. The smart card system follows your session, so each win, each spin, loyalty points - all stored instantly. The gaming floor is divided into smoking and non-smoking sections, depending on your preference.
Over R1.2 billion in winnings between 2017 and 2021. That’s a real streak of consistent payouts.
Playing With Smart Cards
No coins clinking, no paper tickets to lose. You’ll take a Sun International smart card and load it with funds at kiosks or the main desk. After you slot your card into a machine, all your results - big or small - show up on the card. Any cash-outs also happen right there, simple and fast. We run video poker on the same tech, so every session is tied to your play profile.
Machines across the floor come with fresh themes - not just fruits and lucky sevens, but multi-line and branded titles too. Volatility jumps between low and sky-high, your pick. Sun MVG loyalty lets you claim benefits - you earn points for gaming, level up, and those perks may stretch across other Sun International properties.
Only slots run all night - the tables close up once the last hand is dealt.
Cash, Banking, and Payouts
You’ll be working in rand throughout the casino. Everyone buys in or gets credit the same way: cash to smart card, or chips at the desk. There’s an ATM cluster if you need extra funds, just off the main floor. When you cash out, head to the main cash desk, where our staff process your balance, check your winnings, and handle your currency. We never add our own fee to ATM withdrawals - it’s your bank’s policy.
Card top-ups or withdrawals never happen directly at individual machines or tables. You’ll first move funds to a smart card or get chips at the desk. It’s a deliberate process, keeping gaming and banking separate on-site.
Main cash desk hours mirror the floor opening hours.
For the best experience, players are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the casino’s rules and responsible gaming guidelines available on-site.

Resort and Amenities
We’re not just a casino. Wild Coast Casino is right inside Sun International’s Wild Coast Sun Resort, tucked south of Port Edward. Beyond the tables and slots, you step out to ocean views, hotel rooms, a water park, and a championship golf course recognized among the best in Southern Africa. Some days are quieter, others hum with family groups blending holiday with a few rounds at the tables.
Calypso and Coral bars are built directly into the gaming space, bringing drinks around while you play. Elsewhere across the resort, restaurants cover every meal, plus bigger spaces for corporate or private events, conferences, or weddings. Everything’s under one roof. No need to shuttle off if you don’t want to.
Sun International operates casinos and hotels across Southern Africa. Wild Coast Casino remains land-based, with in-person gaming. SunBet is mentioned as a digital product with its own platform.
Hours, Access, and Entry
Slot machines and video poker are available 24 hours a day, all week. Live tables start at 11:00, closing time changes depending on turnout or season. Your ID must be valid and show that you are over 18; no one underage steps onto the casino floor. If you bring the family, the water park, golf course, and beachfront are waiting, away from the gaming areas. Guests move freely between gaming and the wider resort.
There is secure parking for guests. Most people reach us by car via the main roads from Durban and nearby. Tour and transfer companies do pick-ups to and from Wild Coast Sun.
