The Oldest Rio Casino

This massive casino with a Brazilian flair is located in Clerksdorp, South Africa. The exoticism and passion of carnival Rio de Janeiro is conveyed through a huge array of rich colours, bright lights and paraphernalia. It is not only home to the largest and most popular casino in the southern hemisphere, but also a fabulous entertainment centre for families of all ages.

History

The new name of the resort, Tusk Rio Casino Resort, opened in 2002. Four years later, it was bought out by Peermont Global and renamed Rio Casino Resort. Subsequently, a hotel was built on the casino site with a spacious meeting room for business meetings and large events. Today, the Rio is regarded as a role model in terms of services for visitors to the resort.

Casino

The gambling area covers around 25,000 square metres with 300 types of slots, 15 poker and blackjack tables and roulette. There are smoking and non-smoking rooms and a Salon Privé VIP lounge. Poker tournaments are held on Sundays, with generous payouts and interesting conditions.

Through the Winners Circle loyalty programme, players can expect impressive rewards, unique offers and promotions. The programme features four tiers with increasing amounts of rewards, discounts and incentives. At the first level, a Winners Circle member is awarded Maroon status. You must earn a certain number of bonuses within three months, which will qualify you for the next level. Regular customers who place high stakes become Winners Circle Gold Card holders. No financial investment is required to become a member, just a proof of identity. The bonus points you earn can be exchanged for game credits or redeemed at local shops. Members of the Peermont Winners Circle will receive complimentary drinks and restaurant passes during the game.

Hotels and entertainment

The carefree spirit of Brazilian carnival is everywhere. The high-spirited atmosphere extends not only to the casino, with its fantastic jackpots and bonus programs, but also to the chic international convention centre. Several first-class restaurants cater for thousands of visitors. Children are encouraged to have fun in the various playgrounds and entertainment areas. Paintball, diving, golf and go-karting can be enjoyed. Visitors can also take a trip to one of the oldest gold mines from the 18th century and see for themselves what mining for the precious metal was all about.
