Tuscan glamour at Montecasino in Fourways

Did you know?
The Montecasino complex was designed from over 6000 drawings, creating an authentic representation of a Tuscan village.
Modelled on a Tuscan village, Montecasino seems an unlikely location for one of Gauteng’s best casinos. What appears to be a weathered open air Italian village is a deceptively modern family entertainment complex - over 2 kilometres of cobbled walkways and 3 storey buildings all covered by a massive roof.
Montecasino in Fourways offers something for the whole family, but visitors to the casino are in for a real treat.
At 8500m2, this Johannesburg casino’s gaming area is huge. Accessible from 3 entrances, it is open 24 hours a day. The main casino is non-smoking, but 2 additional smoking casinos are open to those content to see more than their winnings go up in smoke.
Slots are perennially popular at Montecasino and there are over 100 progressive jackpots on which to stake your riches, including a Beat the Heat slots tournament every Sunday. Risk your fortune when you play Jaws, an action-packed video slot game, based on the infamous shark attack flick. Just when you thought it was safe to go back on the casino floor…
Montecasino in Fourways features over 76 gaming tables including American Roulette, Baccarat, Poker, Craps (dice) and Blackjack. Regular poker tournaments keep the stakes high, or give novelty games like Wheel of Fortune and Life of Luxury a whirl. You never know when it will be your lucky day.
Regular promotions, competitions, and tournaments hosted by the casino will tempt even those who don’t believe in luck to place a bet or two, and if you’re in need of somewhere to spend your winnings (or drown your sorrows), there’s a plethora of surrounding shops, restaurants, and bars that won’t disappoint.
If you fancy yourself as a high roller, then swing by Montecasino's exclusive, super-luxurious Salon Privé, for a hand or 3 of Stud poker – it’s just you vs. the dealer, double or quits – the better your hand, the more you earn.
