About
The Sun City Hotel is the hedonistic heart of the Sun City Resort. The ambience of the Casino is one of glamour and sophistication. From the moment you enter the foyer your senses are assaulted by the bold design aspects and dramatic setting. The central area of the casino has been magically transformed into a jungle of lush foliage, cascading water and life-like boulders, encircling fast moving slot machines.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The casino is very small, with food courts around it so there is a place to eat near by for day visitors with families. Great place for a day visit with the Family, but arrive early so that you can make most of the day. If you go as a family and visit Valley of the waves then it will be slightly costly, but worth it. Remember the Casino is for Adults only, but the rest of the surroundings are child friendly.

I am not a gambler at all, and have no experience. So I started off feeling rather awkward but soon I was quite impressed with my rather small winnings. I'm happy I've done it, as it opened another window of experience. The setting is beautiful and watching all the people was great fun too!

As South Africa transitioned to a lower Level 1 lockdown during the Covid-19 pandemic, travelled to visit the Sun City Casino for the evening on 6 March 2021. To my dismay, was told by the security guard that as I am not an MVG member, access is restricted on a Saturday and Sunday. Since MVG members are allowed, the restriction is certainly not a result of the casino being at full capacity. The entire situation was poorly handled as every casino in Gauteng has been providing patrons with the option of signing up and accessing facilities for the day/evening. Nevertheless, I explained that I am a Sun International rewards holder and that we were there to support the restaurants for dinner. Instead, was told to turn around. This experience has left a bitter taste in my mouth. I have no empathy for struggling businesses in the casino as a result. When a business has the audacity to turn away customers, they certainly don't need your business.

A bit disappointing. Or maybe I expected more. Service was shocking. One of the staff was picking her nose while handling my passport and money. And you wait while they discuss things or maybe it was a staff meeting. Chairs were broken and it looked a bit rundown.

You'll be in awe at the beauty and vastness of the casino. it is breathtaking and offers every type of gambling available. Obviously no children allowed in the casino. I loved just strolling through the place

Oh Man, never ever seen security to be so rude... They should learn to be polite and not act as if guests are beggars.... This big guy claiming to be security in charge just got so charged up on a teenager who by mistake stood near the staircase of the casino as if he would actually beat him up. He could have very well politely reminded that teenagers are not allowed to step inside casino, but NO he wanted to throw his weight. I think its because they think they can talk to and behave with Indians as they want. Management should look into it.

A few tables, a large number of poker machines and very little atmosphere. Quite a disappointment and I would recommend not bothering.

We visited the sun city casino and entertainment center during a midweek holiday. I was fairly disappointed. My personal view is that sun city is hugely over priced. It cost just under R200 to get into the casino and then took less than 10min to lose R300 at the 10cent machines. We when to grab something to eat at the entrainment center which does look very interesting, but we were disappointed with the hygiene of the fastfood area. A few positives, the casino resort is beautiful and should be very entertaining if you were to go to the valley of waves.

Although I did not play the Casino, I spent after work time at the Bar drinking sweet Mango Juice, while watching Rugby on a wide LED screen, or listening to playback musics from talented musicians.
This is a very nice place to spend time discussing with friends and colleagues.
