  • R2,050,000 in withdrawable cash, split across Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 1 September to 29 October 2026
  • Drops only land between 18:00 and 20:00, and only on real-money bets of R1 or more
  • Most sessions pay R100,000; five nights pay R150,000, including 27 and 29 October
Lucky Fish is handing out a R2,050,000 cash pool on selected Pragmatic Play slots every Tuesday and Thursday evening until 29 October 2026, and a R1 spin during the two-hour window is enough to be in it.

How the drops actually work

The format is the opposite of a tournament. There is no points table, no multiplier race, and nothing to opt into.

You are in the running if all of these are true:

  1. You are 18 or older
  2. You hold a valid Lucky Fish account
  3. You bet R1 or more with real money
  4. The spin is on a listed Pragmatic Play game
  5. The bet lands between 18:00 and 20:00 on a promo Tuesday or Thursday

You automatically get credit for wins, and you can take them out, up to Lucky Fish's usual limit for how much you can win. The rules clearly state that you can't win prizes in Fun Play or Bonus Play. This means that bonus money and free spins don't count towards the drops.

Most people overlook the two-hour time limit. If a game session starts at 6:05 PM, that's okay. But if you spin at 8:01 PM, it's too late. Lucky Fish also mentions that you need to have money in your account to remain in the competition, as a drop can happen at any time within those two hours. If you add funds after the hour has already begun, it will take longer to get set up.

What a night really pays

September’s nine sessions totalled R1,000,000. October’s nine add another R1,050,000. Add them, and you get the R2,050,000 pool.

Most evenings follow the same split and pay R100,000:
  • 4 winners get R5,000
  • 6 get R3,000
  • 10 get R2,000
  • 10 get R1,500
  • 10 get R700
  • 22 get R500
  • 30 get R300

Two dates break that pattern and still total R100,000: 15 September and 15 October. Those nights spread the money wider, with 100 players taking R300 each, alongside R5,000, R2,600, R1,500, R900, R600 and R400 prizes.

The R150,000 nights are the ones worth circling. On 1 September, 29 September, 1 October, 27 October and 29 October, the top end jumps:
  • 3 winners get R10,000
  • 5 get R5,000
  • 8 get R2,500
  • 10 get R1,500
  • 15 get R1,000
  • 30 get R500
  • 100 get R300

Sessions still left in October

From today, 5 October, eight evenings are still on the card. Lucky Fish can move dates if the Board approves it, so the in-app schedule is the one to trust on the day.

27 OctoberR150,000Bigger night, 3 winners at R10,000
29 OctoberR150,000Final night, 3 winners at R10,000
The last two are the remaining R150,000 nights. If you only have a couple of evenings free, those are the ones with the larger individual prizes.

Games that count

The list is long, and it is all Pragmatic Play. A spin on a game that is not published does nothing for this promo, no matter the stake.

Names most South African players already have open:
  • Gates of Olympus, Gates of Olympus 1000 and Gates of Olympus Super Scatter
  • Sweet Bonanza and Sweet Bonanza 1000
  • Sugar Rush and Sugar Rush 1000
  • Starlight Princess 1000
  • Big Bass Splash, Bigger Bass Bonanza and Big Bass Amazon Xtreme
  • The Dog House Megaways
  • Fruit Party
  • Zeus vs Hades – Gods of War
  • Wisdom of Athena 1000
  • Buffalo King Megaways
  • Joker's Jewels and Fire Strike

Also on the list are Mahjong Wins Super Scatter, Pompeii Megareels Megaways, Madame Destiny Megaways, Floating Dragon, Hot to Burn, 5 Lions Megaways, Book of Fallen, and a run of older fruit and hold-and-spin titles such as Triple Tigers, Striking Hot 5 and Ultra Hold and Spin.

If you are opening an account for this

Existing players just need a balance before 18:00.

New players have a separate sign-up offer. Register and use the Lucky Fish promo code SAGAMES, and the current welcome offer is a R50 no-deposit bonus plus 50 bonus spins. That is useful for trying the site, but it will not enter you into the Prize Drops. The terms exclude Bonus Play, so the evening session still needs a real-money bet of at least R1 on a listed game. Treat the welcome offer as the account opener, then deposit before the window if you want a shot at the cash.

FICA still sits between a credited prize and a withdrawal. Have an ID and proof of address ready if you have not verified yet.

The small print that actually matters

  • Self-excluded players cannot enter
  • Prize Drops cash cannot be won on Fun Play or Bonus Play
  • Winnings, including drops, cannot exceed the maximum payout
  • By entering, you agree that Lucky Fish may use your name or photo in reasonable publicity, and you can decline
  • Lucky Fish can vary, suspend or end the promo, and any prize not yet won, without notice
  • The promo is not sponsored by Facebook, X or Instagram
