At Goldrush Gaming Group, we are dedicated to offering gaming experiences that are fully compliant with South African gambling legislation. Our Electronic Bingo Terminals (EBTs) are licensed by the relevant Provincial Gambling Boards and operate strictly within the regulatory frameworks established by the National Gambling Act and other applicable provincial laws.
Legal Classification of EBTs
Goldrush EBTs are legally recognised as bingo games and are designed to meet all the technical and operational requirements outlined in South African law. These modern gaming terminals incorporate engaging designs and visuals but remain distinct from slot machines in their function and legal classification.
How EBTs Differ from Slot Machines
- Slot Machines:
Slot machines generate outcomes using an individual random number generator (RNG), with each spin being an independent, random event. These games fall under the category of casino games and require specific licensing, limiting their availability to licensed casinos or Limited Payout Machine (LPM) venues. - Electronic Bingo Terminals:
EBTs, on the other hand, are connected to a central server. The server conducts regulated bingo draws, determining game outcomes by matching drawn numbers to players’ virtual bingo cards. While EBTs may feature spinning reels, symbols, and other visually appealing elements, these are purely decorative and have no impact on the outcome of the game.
Understanding Gameplay Terminology
Occasionally, terms like “casino,” “slots,” or “casino games” may appear on Goldrush platforms to describe the themes or presentation of gameplay. However, these terms are used strictly for entertainment purposes and do not indicate the legal classification of EBTs.
Commitment to Compliance and Transparency
Goldrush Gaming Group operates with full transparency and works closely with local and national regulatory bodies to ensure all EBTs meet the highest standards of security, fairness, and responsible management. By adhering to South African gambling laws, we provide an environment where players can enjoy modern bingo gaming with confidence.
Whether you are a seasoned player or new to electronic bingo, Goldrush EBTs offer an exciting, compliant, and secure gaming experience that combines innovative technology with the traditional fun of bingo.
