What to Look For When Searching for Free Slots

The choice of free slots you can play in South Africa is vast. They come in a wide variety of themes, including adventure, cult movies, horror, magic, Egyptian, Greek, Scandinavian and Roman mythology, horror, outer space, superheroes, retro fruit machines, and more. Whatever your preference, you’re sure to find a game genre to suit. 

A lot of Saffas still love retro fruit-themed slots because they are so simple to play. The most popular fruit-themed slots in South Africa include ‘Fruit Shop; and ‘Fruit Spin’ (both from software provider NetEnt), ‘Fruit Warp’ from Thunderkick, where instead of the traditional reels, the fruits float in zero gravity, and ‘Fruit Smash’ from Slotmill, a six-reel slot that allows players to win 6,000 x their wager.

Choosing the Best Slot Game Engines and Mechanics

Game mechanics have come a long way since the first slot machines or one-armed bandits came on the scene, and again, you’re sure to find something that appeals. The first fruit machines were simple 3-reel affairs with a minimum number of paylines. The reels simply spun and payouts were governed by landing 3 fruits of a kind on the middle line. 

Now, games include wilds and scatters, free spins features, and avalanche or cascading symbols. You can select the number of paylines you wish to play, and if you choose a game with a Megaways engine, you get up to 117,649 ways to win. The Megways engine changed the world of online slots, and its designers, BGT, are headquartered in Australasia.

Choosing the Best Designed Free Slots

The introduction of themed slots gave designers a free hand in terms of graphics. Great graphics and scintillating soundtracks make all the difference. You’ll find a list of the best free slots on Zaslots. 

One that’s worth taking a look at (and a listen to) is Divine Divinity Princess. With its clean-cut beautifully designed Asian-influenced symbols, this slot is unique. When you land a payline, the flashing golden, fiery graphic is impressive. Even the Asian-flavoured soundtrack is pleasing. It’s an excellent example of a slot you’ll enjoy playing in free mode for its authenticity and great design.

Free Slots with Great In-Game Features and Free Spins Bonus Round

While many Saffas love simple retro free slots, they also enjoy discovering innovative features such as interactive bonus rounds that offer new opportunities to increase their chance of winning. Such bonuses can immerse you in exciting adventures, like embarking on a treasure hunt to claim hidden rewards, or transporting you to a new virtual world or dimension where you have to battle adversaries to unlock prizes. These in-game features make for an extra layer of fun and excitement.

Free Slots That Can be Played on Multiple Devices

Playing free slots on mobile devices is no longer an option; it’s a necessity. Being able to play your favourite games from any location, including when you’re on the move, is a superb convenience. All the sites and free slots that Zaslots recommends can be played anywhere, anytime, as long as you have an internet connection, wired or Wi-Fi. You can play them on desktops, laptops, iPads, iPhones, Smartphones and Tablets.

Online ZA Casinos and Software Providers

The best slots come from the best software providers. Look for online casinos that work with providers like BGT, IGT, Microgaming, NetEnt, Play’n GO, Pragmatic Play, Playtech, Thunderkick, and Yggdrasil. Zaslots also lists casinos that use slightly lesser-known to some, but nonetheless first-class providers like Elk Studios. Their Nitropolis series of slots has been a firm favourite with Saffa punters ever since the first launch back in 2016, especially Nitropolis 4 with its X-citer feature. 

Why Play Free Slots?

Why do South African gamblers bother to play free slots, you might ask yourself? Well, there are several reasons, some of which can prove to be beneficial.

• To sample online gambling. If you’ve never visited online casino sites or played online slots before and you’re wondering what all the excitement is about, playing free slots is the perfect way to find out if it is something you enjoy, without it costing you a single cent.
• Try out new online casinos. Saffas are always on the lookout for new online casinos to try that offer free slots you can play for fun in free demo mode. Playing for free allows you to check out the casino at no cost.
• Try out new slots. Playing new slots for free is an ideal way of finding out if the game meets your expectations.
• Preparing to play real money games. This can be really beneficial. Why waste your hard-earned South African Rand familiarising yourself with a slot’s gameplay when you can do it for free? Trying out a game in demo mode is the perfect way to hone your skills for the real money game. 

Finding the Best Free Slots for South Africans to Play

Playing free online slots can be divided into two categories. The first is the most simple because you don’t even have to register an account. It’s called playing free slots in demo mode. All of the online casinos Zaslots recommends, including both new casino sites and established ones, welcome punters from South Africa, and most of them offer slots that can be played for free in demo mode. But they all offer casino bonuses that include free slots, too. The big difference is that whereas you can’t win any money when you play free slots in demo mode, you can win real money prizes when you play free spins that are offered with bonuses, whether they are no deposit bonuses or minimum deposit bonuses. However, you probably will have to register a player account.

Where to Look

Not only is Zaslots the best place to look for regular casinos that offer free spins bonuses, but it’s also the best place to look for low deposit casinos, too. Low deposit deals are exactly what they sound like. You register a new player account at the casino you’ve chosen, deposit a small amount, anywhere from 10 to 50 ZAR, and you are awarded a number of free spins on specific slots. 

Low deposit deals are just one type of welcome bonus offers you’ll find listed at Zaslots. You’ll also find many free spins no deposit bonus deals as well. The most important thing of all when looking for free slots is to ensure you use reliable sources. The World Wide Web is a haven for scammers, and if you don’t take care and you’re not sure what to look out for, you can easily be caught out. 

You might come across what are known as bonus code coupon websites. These are sites you can visit where you can claim free coupons linked to specific online casino bonuses. However, some of these can contain phishing scams. The thing to bear in mind is that if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. You are far better off going to a trusted source like Zaslots, where many no deposit bonus codes are listed, all of which are 100% legitimate. 

Can You Play Slots on Live Online Casino Sites?

All live casino platforms like those listed on Zaslots offer slots you can play live. But what that really means is that you are playing in real time, in the same way that you are accessing the casino in real time. The slot machine is still governed by an RNG. What you can’t do, at least not yet in South Africa, is to play live dealer slots at live dealer casinos – even the ones listed on Zaslots. Live dealer casino games are limited to table games such as blackjack, and roulette.

Safety First – It’s Why it Pays to Use Zaslots

The reason it pays you to use Zaslots for anything to do with online casinos in South Africa is the team of experts whose job it is to pre-test all of the casinos and bonuses listed to make 100% sure they are bona fide. Every site’s licensing is checked, as is its RNG to ensure it’s fair game certified. The sites are checked for encryption protection and that they only use well-known, tried and trusted payment methods. This ensures that any casino or bonus you claim via Zaslots guarantees you a safe, enjoyable gambling experience.

The same goes for casino apps. If you download a casino app from one of the ZA casinos listed on Zaslots, it’s safe to use. 

Top Tips and Instructions for Playing Free Slots

You can play free slots in demo mode at most ZA online casinos simply by navigating to the slots page from the casino lobby, finding the slot that interests you and choosing “play free.” You don’t even have to register a player account. Just wait for the game to download (it takes only seconds) and start playing.

It’s always recommended to choose slots that have good RTPs. By that I mean anything above 95%. Then check out the slot’s volatility rating. Low means frequent but small payouts, while high volatility means large value payouts but having to wait longer for them to land.

Playing free slots as part of a bonus deal is different from playing in demo mode. It usually means having to register a new player account. Whether you choose a regular online casino from the ZA sites listed on Zaslots, or one of the many mobile casinos Zaslots recommend, the process is the same.

• Click “Register” or “Sign Up.”
• Enter the personal details requested.
• Choose a username.
• Choose a password.
• Enter the bonus promo code if needed. You’ll find a list of bonuses with promo codes at Zaslots
• Select your preferred currency and payment method.
• Enter the amount you want to deposit.
• Click “Confirm.”

Once your account is confirmed, the free spins will be automatically credited.

The free slots you can play with bonus offers will be dictated by the offer’s terms and conditions. It varies from casino to casino and bonus to bonus. It might be just one slot, or a range of slots from a specific software provider.

Always Read Bonus Terms and Conditions

You should always read the bonus terms and conditions before you apply. It carries important information regarding the durations you have to play through the bonus, the min/max deposit and withdrawal amounts, and the wagering requirements. 

How to Get the Most Enjoyment from a Free Slot

Having satisfied yourself that you understand the T&Cs, the next thing you should do is make sure you understand the rules and features of the slot you are about to play. If you’re playing bonus offer free spins you can win real money, so you need to give yourself the best chance of doing so by being familiar with the slot’s features and gameplay. This is where playing the free demo version at Zaslots pays dividends. When you’re ready – start playing. Here are a few tips to help maximise your enjoyment.

• Choose casinos offering free slots and free spins via Zaslots
• Set a budget and stick to it.
• Betting a smaller amount per spin will stretch your budget further.
• Never bet more that you can comfortably afford to lose.
• Don’t chase losses.
• Don’t gamble under the influence.

Treat online gambling as you would any other hobby, and remember that all hobbies cost money. Don’t play with the sole purpose of making money. You probably won’t. But if you treat it more like a challenge whereby winning comes as a bonus, you’ll enjoy your gambling experiences that much more.

Three Great Games to Play

If you’re looking for fun games to play, take a look at these:

The Aviator Crash Game

Have you come across ‘crash games’ before? They’re relatively new. The first one was called ‘Aviator’ and it was created by a Polish based company called ‘Spribe’. It was launched as an experiment in 2018. It quickly gained popularity in the global online gambling world and became the next fad. Now there are many crash games available in South Africa for Saffa gamblers, but Aviator is the daddy of them all. 

Crash games are games of simplicity and nerve. The plane takes off, rises into the sky and flies – until it crashes. You place your bet before take-off. If you ‘cash out’ before the plane crashes, you win. The longer the plane flies, the higher the bet multiplier climbs and the more money you can win. Get it wrong and you lose your wager. The graphics are as basic as they get, as is the soundtrack, and the only feature with Aviator is the ‘double bet’. 

As simple and fun as it is, it won’t hold your attention for long. It’s more of a quick, short, fun, distraction. It has an RTP of 97%.

The Sweet Bonanza Slot from Pragmatic Play

If you’ve got a sweet tooth, this slot is for you. With an RTP of 96.51%, a 6×5 grid layout and cascading symbols rather than traditional reels, Sweet Bonanza has become a firm favourite with Saffa gamblers. It is, however, a high volatility game, so if you want to play to win, you’ll likely have to wait and ‘tough it out’. 

With its cascading reels, multipliers, its wild symbol, and a free spins bonus round that can create winning combinations, you can win big on ‘Sweet Bonanza’ if you’re willing to bet big and you coincide with a large multiplier. A lot of Saffa like it because of its ‘Ante Bet’ feature which increases your bet by 25% while adding extra ‘Scatters’ which gives you a better chance of triggering free spins.

Plinko from Spribe

Plinko is another game from innovative software provider, Spribe. It’s based on a game from the TV show ‘The Price is Right’, which I have to admit I am old enough to remember. Rather than spinning reels, Plinko features a triangular wall of pegs. You release a coloured ball (choice of green, yellow or red) which trips and bounces its way down through the pegs and lands on one of the coloured tiles. Again, like Aviator, it’s a simple game. Apart from the colour of the ball, the only other controls you have are the number of pegs (12, 14, or 16), and the size of your wager. The game’s RTP is 97%.

The Truth About RTP

I’ve given the RTP of all three games shown above, but quite honestly it really means ‘diddly squat’ as our American friends would say. RTP, or ‘Return to Player’ percentages are worked out over sessions lasting thousands of spins. Even if you’re as crazy about online gambling as me, Erik King, your sessions will be considerably shorter, so the RTP statistic doesn’t really mean anything.
