  • Runs from 23 October to 6 November 2026 with a R150,000 prize pool
  • Qualifying bets start at R3 on selected Habanero slots (real money only)
  • Points come from win multipliers, not total stake size
Jackpot City’s Phantom Pursuit lets verified South African players chase a share of R150,000 by spinning selected Habanero slots with R3+ bets and climbing a multiplier-based leaderboard until 6 November.

What’s Actually Running

Here's how you can participate in Habanero's Phantom Pursuit on Jackpot City:

From October 23rd to November 6th, 2026, bet R3 or more on the selected slot games. Each time you win, your score will be calculated based on how much you won compared to your bet. These scores will be added up, and the players with the highest scores will win prizes.

The promotion has a spooky theme, with games like Haunted House and Siren’s Spell included. However, the way to play is simple: just play the qualifying games with real money. There's no need to sign up separately or deal with complicated bonus features.

Qualifying Habanero Games

These are the slots that count:

  • Hot Hot Jackpot City
  • Mystic Fortune Deluxe Jackpot City
  • Hot Hot Fruit
  • Hot Hot Halloween
  • Wealth Inn
  • Siren’s Spell
  • Lantern Luck
  • Laughing Buddha
  • Queen of Queens 243
  • Hey Sushi
  • Rhythm Nights
  • Haunted House

Only real-money wagers qualify. Bonus funds and free spins do not contribute points.

How the Leaderboard Works

Points equal the sum of your win multipliers. If you bet R4 and win R16, you get 4 points. A larger bet with a smaller payout might earn you fewer points than a smaller bet with a bigger payout. The key strategy here is that bets with a high chance of big wins, which also have good multipliers, will get you further than bets with the same stake size that don't have as much potential for a big win.

If two players finish on the same total, the one who reached that score first ranks higher. Check the live leaderboard on the promotion page if you want to see where you stand before the final days.

Prize Breakdown

The spread reaches 150 places, so mid-table finishes still pay something, but the meaningful money sits in the top 18.

Practical Notes

  • Stick to the qualifying Habanero list. Switching to a non-Habanero title mid-session wastes the stake for this particular pot.
  • Scoring rewards multipliers, so some players lean toward the more volatile titles on the list when they want to climb quickly, while others stay with the steadier ones for consistent smaller scores.
  • The promotion window is fixed. Bets placed before 23 October or after 6 November do not count, no matter when the win settles.
  • If you haven’t verified your Jackpot City account yet, you can still go the usual welcome route. Enter the Jackpot City promo code SAGAMES when you register, and the current new-player offer opens up (100% match up to R4,000 plus a Big City Wheel spin on a qualifying first deposit).
  • That extra balance does not change the Phantom Pursuit rules, but it does give you a larger cash stack when you open the qualifying games instead of starting the leaderboard chase from a minimum deposit alone.
  • Welcome terms and promotion terms are separate, so check both on the site before you deposit.

Quick Checklist

  • Confirm your account is verified and in good standing
  • Stick to the listed Habanero slots and R3+ real-money bets
  • Track your multiplier total if you are aiming for the higher positions
  • Check the promotion page for any last-minute game list updates
  • Remember the responsible gambling tools and the National Responsible Gambling Programme helpline (0800 006 008)
