Cashing out at Goldfields Casino: how money leaves the floor

There is no withdrawal button at a physical casino. What you have is a ticket, a stack of chips and a cash desk inside the building at Stateway and Buiten Street.

Cashing out at Goldfields Casino happens inside the building. A machine prints a ticket when you press collect, tables pay in chips, and both are exchanged for rand at the cash desk at the corner of Stateway and Buiten Street. There is no online withdrawal, because there is no account holding a balance.

From the machine to the cash desk

Ticket-in, ticket-out is the standard on modern floors: instead of coins, the cabinet prints a voucher with a barcode when you finish. That voucher can go straight into another machine or to the cash desk, which is why you will see people carrying slips rather than buckets.

At a table the currency is chips. Colour up at the end of a session, carry the chips to the cashier and they come back as rand. Machines will not take chips, and the pit will not pay cash at the table.

South African casinos are accountable institutions under the country's financial-crime rules, so identity verification can be required when the sums involved get larger. Bringing the same document you were asked for at the door avoids a second trip — see our getting-in page.

Cashing out, step by step

  1. Press collect on the machine and take the printed ticket — do not walk away while it prints.
  2. Check the amount on the slip before you leave the cabinet.
  3. Take chips from a table to the cashier, and tickets to the cash desk or a redemption kiosk.
  4. Have an identity document ready in case verification is required on a larger payout.
  5. Redeem the ticket the same visit where possible: an expiry date is printed on it.
  6. Count the cash at the desk, then decide deliberately whether the evening is over.

Payouts go to persons 18 years and older. Free counselling on 0800 006 008 if play stops being fun.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a withdrawal take at Goldfields Casino?
There is no waiting period, because there is no online account. A printed ticket or a stack of chips is paid at the cash desk during the same visit.
Do I need identification to cash out?
It can be requested. South African casinos are accountable institutions under financial-crime rules, so verification may apply to larger transactions.
What if I lose my ticket?
Report it at the cash desk immediately and ask what the venue's procedure is. Keeping the slip flat and in one place is the simplest protection.
