Slot Games of the Week: To Play with WanejoBets.co.za

The top five slot games to play at WanejoBets: Gates of Olympus, Le Bandit, Sweet Bonanza 1000, Wanted Dead or a Wild and Fury of Anubis — RTP, volatility and max win compared.

Five slots, five genuinely different experiences. This is the shortlist worth your time at WanejoBets — three Pragmatic Play heavyweights and two Hacksaw Gaming titles that have built cult followings on mechanics nobody else is using.

Every figure below is the published default. Check the RTP in the in-game information panel before you play, because operators can run reduced-RTP builds of the same title.

1. Gates of Olympus — Pragmatic Play

Default RTP: 96.50%
Volatility: High to very high
Max win: 5,000x stake
Mechanic: 6×5 pay anywhere, tumbling reels, Zeus multiplier orbs 2x–500x

The flagship. Released in 2021 and still the most-played slot in most South African lobbies, which tells you something no review can. Land eight matching symbols anywhere, watch them tumble, and hope Zeus drops orbs before the sequence ends. Four or more scatters trigger 15 free spins, where multipliers accumulate across the whole round rather than resetting.

Best for: the default choice if you are not sure where to start with high-volatility slots.

2. Le Bandit — Hacksaw Gaming

RTP: 96.34%
Volatility: Very high
Mechanic: Golden squares resolving into coins, multipliers or collectors

A cartoon raccoon robbing a French bank, wrapped around some of the harshest maths in the lobby. Golden squares turn into coin values, multipliers or pot-of-gold collectors, and the interaction between the three decides everything. High coins with no collector pay nothing; a collector on a full screen with a multiplier attached pays a great deal.

Best for: experienced players who genuinely understand what very high volatility means.

3. Sweet Bonanza 1000 — Pragmatic Play

RTP: approximately 96.53%
Volatility: High
Max win: 25,000x stake
Mechanic: Tumbling candy clusters with multiplier bombs

The biggest ceiling in this group by a distance. Same tumbling formula as the original Sweet Bonanza, with a multiplier structure that reaches far higher. Heavily featured in the slots catalogue at Wanejo Bets for exactly that reason.

Best for: players who already like the original and want more upside — with the understanding that 25,000x is a theoretical ceiling, not a target.

4. Wanted Dead or a Wild — Hacksaw Gaming

RTP: 96.38%
Volatility: Extremely high
Max win: 12,500x stake
Mechanic: Expanding wilds across three distinct bonus rounds

The game that made Hacksaw’s reputation. A spaghetti-western theme with three separate free spins modes, each with its own risk profile, and expanding wilds that can turn a dead spin into the session’s biggest. Its reputation for brutality is entirely earned — and so is its reputation for the occasional enormous return.

Best for: players who want the highest ceiling among the Hacksaw titles and have the patience to survive the base game.

5. Fury of Anubis — Pragmatic Play

RTP: approximately 96.52%
Volatility: High
Max win: 10,000x stake
Mechanic: Expanding symbols with free spin re-triggers

The newcomer, and it has climbed the WanejoBets casino catalogue fast. A modern take on the Book of format — pick a symbol, watch it expand across the reels in free spins, re-trigger for more. The clearest mechanic on this list, which makes it the most satisfying to watch.

Best for: players who want to see exactly where a win came from.

How to Choose Between Them

Never played a high-volatility slot? Start with Gates of Olympus. The pay-anywhere structure is forgiving and the mechanic is easy to follow.
Want the biggest ceiling? Sweet Bonanza 1000 at 25,000x — but understand what that number actually means.
Want the clearest mechanic? Fury of Anubis. You will always know why you won.
Want something genuinely different? Le Bandit or Wanted Dead or a Wild. Neither plays like anything else in the lobby.
Want the best published RTP? They are all within a fifth of a percent of each other — which means volatility, not RTP, should drive your choice.

How to Find Them

Log in at Wanejo Bets
Open the casino lobby and select Slots
Search by name, or browse Providers → Pragmatic Play or Hacksaw Gaming
Open the in-game information panel and confirm the RTP before your first spin

Play Responsibly

All five of these carry a house edge, and every one is rated high volatility or above — which means long stretches returning little. Set your budget before you open the lobby at WanejoBets, choose a stake that survives a few hundred spins, and stop when you reach your limit. Free and confidential help is available on 0800 006 008, 24 hours a day.
