Tsogo Sun’s Director of Gaming, Steve Hight congratulated the top 10 prize winners.

“We’re delighted at the enthusiastic response by the public to this action-packed tournament, which has seen players coming back again and again at all of our 14 casinos since it launched on July 20.”

The buy-in price for the Slots Factor tournament was only R100 cash. This made it accessible to everyone and entitled the participant to one entry to the tournament.

“Every cent of the buy-ins across the 14 casinos contributed to the final prize money. The total prize money was over R600 000, higher than originally anticipated, giving every one of the top 10 prizes a hearty boost,” concluded Mr Hight.
