Time Square Casino Live Games

What Runs on Our Floor

On the main casino floor at Menlyn Maine in Pretoria we usually keep around 60 live tables active. The room was built with extra capacity though, so if demand climbs, the layout can comfortably support close to 100 tables without changing the format. You will find American Roulette, blackjack, baccarat and a selection of poker variants spread across the pit. Every table is operated under the same regulated land-based rules that apply to all Sun International venues in South Africa.

The live floor runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week. There is no booking system for tables. You arrive, walk onto the floor, pick a game, and sit down when a seat opens up. Minimum and maximum bets change by table type and also shift with traffic levels, which means a busy Saturday night will not look exactly the same as a quiet midweek afternoon.

Bingo has its own timetable that runs alongside the main floor activity. Sessions are slotted into the day on a separate schedule, and we flag those start times on Facebook at @TimeSquareRSA. It is a different format to live tables, so it works next to them, not against them.

Electronic Table Games - Worth Knowing About

Within the live games mix there is an electronic table games area that a lot of people only notice later in their visit. In this section, players sit at individual terminals and can connect to multiple tables at once from a single screen. The setup is useful if you prefer a slightly faster pace or you like managing more than one game in parallel. We actively profile this format across our official channels, but it always operates in addition to the traditional tables, never as a replacement.

Game rules do not change just because you are on a terminal. Roulette, blackjack and baccarat follow the same mechanics and house procedures whether you are seated at a physical table with a dealer in front of you or playing via an electronic station. There is no separate registration layer for this area. Chips that you buy from the cage work anywhere on the floor, including at the terminals.

Getting to the Tables

The live gaming floor sits inside the Time Square complex at 209 Aramist Avenue, Menlyn, Pretoria, 0181. Moving from the outside of the precinct to a seat at a table is fairly direct.

1. Approach the Menlyn Maine precinct along Aramist Avenue and follow the signs into Time Square.
2. Use the main casino entrance; from the lobby you can walk straight into the gaming floor.
3. Stop at the casino cage first to exchange cash for chips before you step up to any table.
4. Move through the floor to the area that matches what you want to play. Roulette, blackjack, baccarat and poker zones are clearly separated but linked.
5. If a table is full, wait for a seat to open or ask a floor attendant to point you toward an available spot.
6. Keep your ID close. South African regulations require all players to be 18 or over, and our team has to verify age for anyone entering the casino floor.
7. When you sit down, place chips according to the game rules and layouts that are displayed at that table.
8. When you are finished playing, return to the cage and cash in any remaining chips.

A practical tip that applies pretty much to any casino floor, including ours: if it is your first visit, take five minutes to walk the space before you commit to a table. Having a basic mental map of where roulette sits relative to blackjack or where the cage is positioned usually makes the rest of the session feel smoother, and you do not have to rush decisions.

If you are combining live tables with a concert or event at SunBet Arena, you can move between the arena and the gaming floor without leaving the property. Both sit inside the same overall complex, which cuts down on travel time between the two.

Promotions Linked to Table Play

On the promotional side we frequently run cash draw offers that count both slot play and tables play toward entry. While the structure of each promotion can vary, the core flow is the same: play on the floor to earn points during a qualifying window, then collect physical entries from specified terminals before the cut-off. On certain draw nights cash payouts have climbed to R45,000 in a single event, so the numbers are material.

For cash draws, self-service terminals usually open for ticket printing from around 17:00 on the evening of the promotion. Bingo stays on its own communication cycle, with details and times posted via @TimeSquareRSA on Facebook. Before you drive through, it helps to check suninternational.com/time-square to see which promotions and events are active that specific night.

The Complex Beyond the Gaming Floor

Time Square forms part of Sun International, one of South Africa’s listed gaming and hospitality operators with a network of 21 casino and resort properties. Within that group, we position Time Square as Gauteng’s largest combined casino and entertainment destination. The complex has been built to back that claim up.

Once you step away from the live tables there is more to work with. The property houses the Time Square Hotel, Forti Grill and Bar, various bars and nightlife spaces, dedicated conferencing areas and SunBet Arena. At the arena you will regularly see concerts, stand-up comedy, boxing, MMA and corporate functions. It is viewed as one of the key live event venues in South Africa, largely because of the level of performers and events that are booked in.

On show nights, Forti Grill and Bar keeps extended hours so pre or post event meals are straightforward. The hotel makes sense for guests coming in from outside Pretoria or anyone attending a multi-day conference or entertainment run. As a result, a planned quick session on the live games floor can easily grow into a full evening or longer without needing heavy planning upfront.

Practical Details Before You Arrive

The casino floor stays open all the time, but the surrounding activity does not. Promotions, Bingo sessions and SunBet Arena events keep to fixed, published schedules, so a short check-in before you leave home usually pays off.

1. Look at the current events calendar on suninternational.com/time-square to see which offers and happenings are live.
2. Confirm SunBet Arena show times if you are planning to fit gaming in around a performance or sports event.
3. Use +27 860 846 377 or [email protected] for general questions about the property, tables or floor access.
4. For group bookings, corporate functions or conference-related enquiries contact +27 12 003 5852 or [email protected].
5. Follow @TimeSquareRSA on Facebook or @sun_timesquare on Instagram if you want ongoing updates about promotions, Bingo schedules and event nights.
6. Bring a valid South African ID or passport. We are required to verify age for anyone accessing the casino, without exceptions.
7. All gaming transactions take place in ZAR, so set your budget with that in mind before you arrive.

Parking is available within the broader Menlyn Maine area, close to the property. For standard live table play you do not have to make any advance booking; you can simply arrive and join the floor.

Regulation and What It Means for Players

Time Square operates under the regulatory framework of the Gauteng Gambling Board. Sun International holds land-based casino licenses and is listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, which means the group as a whole works under a detailed governance structure. The rules cover anti-money-laundering processes, formal KYC checks, and responsible gambling duties. These standards apply consistently across licensed South African casinos, including our floor.

We are not an offshore or unlicensed operation. All gaming takes place physically on-site and under direct oversight from the relevant authorities. For players who have dealt with unregulated or offshore alternatives before, that difference can be significant in terms of recourse and transparency.

On top of that, Sun International runs a group loyalty program across its properties. Regular play at Time Square can translate into loyalty benefits that also recognise your activity at other Sun International venues. Tier levels, point earn rates and redemption mechanics are explained in detail on the official website and can also be confirmed at the cage once you arrive. None of this has to be set up ahead of your first visit; our team can walk you through it on the floor.
