Carousel Casino – Now Closed

The Carousel was one of South Africa’s oldest and most popular casinos and entertainment centres.
The Carousel launched in 1991 having created 100’s of millionaires during its operations.
Due to COVID-19 Lockdown restrictions imposed to protect fellow South Africans,
The Carousel was closed on 24th March 2020.
Sun International has subsequently made the difficult decision not to re-open The Carousel Casino after the national lockdown.
Sun International and the staff want to extend a big THANK YOU for the support over the years that helped create lasting memories for everyone.

Situated 55km north of Pretoria on the N1 highway to Polokwane, North West Province. The Carousel opened in November 1991 and has been one of Sun International’s most successful casinos, which set the pace for other casinos to follow.

The Carousel can lay claim to being the first South African casino to pay out a Jackpot of over R5-million!

Since opening, the Carousel has made 100 Millionaires, confirming its reputation for providing an excellent Gaming experience. The casino has recently undergone a complete refurbishment, which has brought the look and feel very much up-to-date. The refurbishment brought the introduction of Sun International’s Smart Card System – which allows for safer, more hygienic and convenient gaming.

Due to it’s locality and the fantastic Jackpot payouts, guests have continued to pour through the impressive and flamboyant stained glass entrance. The entrance of the complex is a golden tribute to The Carousel, Marble Horses cavort beneath a cascade of water, and a spectacular Rose Garden leads to the entrance.
