Aviator and Skyward Betting
Betting on Aviator and Skyward is fun and easy. They’re crash games where you follow a plane at takeoff and cash out before the plane flies away.
They’re structured in rounds that display a live feed of the game being played. At the beginning of the round, you place your bet and watch the multiplier soar higher. Click the cash out button before the plane flies away to claim your winnings. If you don’t cash out in time, you lose your stake.
Blackjack Betting
Blackjack holds its place as one of the most played casino table games online because the decisions matter. The objective is to build a hand value closer to 21 than the dealer without exceeding it. Hitting, standing, doubling down, and splitting are not just moves — they are choices that shift the statistical outcome of a hand. That level of player influence is what separates blackjack from most other casino formats.
Sportingbet offers several blackjack variants. Classic Blackjack is the standard entry point, while alternative formats introduce rule changes that affect the house edge and pacing. For players who want to play online blackjack in South Africa against a live dealer rather than a digital table, the live casino lobby carries a range of real-time tables at different stake levels.
Roulette Explained
One of the most popular online gambling options for casino enthusiasts is roulette, and once you’ve mastered the basics, it’s easy to perform your live Roulette bet online. The central feature of roulette is the roulette wheel which consists of red and black dots numbered from 1 to 36. Among the dots are one or two green-coloured zero slots (American is the double zero and European is the single zero).
Roulette also consists of a table which, like the wheel, features the number 1 to 36 with additional sections – these are where you can place your (online) bet. After all the players have placed their bets on the roulette table, the dealer (or croupier if you prefer) will spin the wheel and throw in a little ball. Once the wheel stops spinning and the ball lands, you have the winning number. If you happened to place your bet on that number (or on a group of numbers that include that winning number) you get paid!
Roulette Betting
As mentioned, you can bet on a number on the table and those are known as ‘inside’ bets. There are seven different types of inside bets including:
- Straight - one number
- Split - bet on two adjacent numbers
- Street - bet on three consecutive numbers on the same line
- Six Line - bet on two adjacent lines
- Corner - a four-number bet
- Trio - a three-number bet that includes the zero or zeros
- Basket - bet on 0, 1, 2 and 3 with a chip on the corner shared by the zero box and the first line
There are also outside bets divided into:
- Red or black
- Odd or even
- 1 to 18 or 19 to 36
- Dozens
- Columns
Baccarat
Baccarat has a reputation for being a high-roller game, but the mechanics are among the simplest in the table games category. Each round involves two hands — the Player and the Banker — and the only decision is which one comes closer to nine, or whether the result is a Tie. Three betting options, no complex decision trees.
The Banker bet carries a slight statistical advantage over the Player bet, which is why it remains the default choice for players who have spent time with the numbers. The digital versions at Sportingbet preserve the pace that makes baccarat appealing — rounds are quick, and there is no waiting on other players' decisions.
Money wheel/Spin-and-win Betting
Also known as the ‘wheel of fortune’, the money wheel is divided into 52 sections with a leather pointer at the top of the wheel. You place your online bet when the croupier announces ‘your bets please’ after which the wheel is spun twice before shouting ‘no more bets’ and then, once the wheel stops, the winning bet is announced.
Crazy Time Betting
Crazy Time is a money wheel variation that’s beloved by many. Playing Crazy Time is as simple, you place your bet on the number that you think will be selected when the wheel stops spinning, and you get paid out in odds corresponding with the number (5 pays 5:1, 10 pays 10:1). A two reel slot runs at the beginning of every spin that gives bonus multipliers to random selections! Crazy Town also features four mini games! Bet on the mini games instead of a number and get insanely high multipliers!
Lightning Dice Betting
Lightning Dice is a fun and simple way to bet. It has similar characteristics as roulette in that you bet on the number or range you think will win. Instead of turning a roulette wheel, dice are dropped down a tower that randomizes the roll.
Place your wager on the number or number range, each with its own unique odds of winning, and watch as the dice drop down the tower. If your number or range comes up, then you get a return based on the odds of that number. If your number or range is doesn’t come up, you lose your stake.
Watch out for lightning strikes on select numbers and ranges every round. If a number or range is electrified, their odds increase substantially.
FAQ
Are table games at Sportingbet fair?Yes. All table games in the Sportingbet casino lobby operate on certified Random Number Generator (RNG) technology, which produces statistically unpredictable outcomes on every hand and spin. The platform is licensed by the Western Cape Gambling & Racing Board, providing independent regulatory oversight of all games.
Can I play online table games on mobile?
All table games in the Sportingbet lobby are fully optimised for mobile play. Blackjack, roulette, baccarat, and other titles are accessible directly from a mobile browser or the Sportingbet app with no reduction in game functionality or interface quality.
Which table game is best for beginners?

Is online blackjack available in South Africa?
