Even R1 can be more than enough to have some fun in the right lobby. The One Rand shelf on YesPlay was created specifically for cautious people looking for some after-work fun, while keeping an eye on their tea and their bank balance. Here’s our thoughts on what lands, and what doesn’t.
R1 lineup
The category tags will tell you everything you need to know: Evolution, Pragmatic Play, Ezugi, and BetGames are just some of the providers you’ll find here. You get TV games such as Mega Wheel and Deal or No Deal, plus all your favourite table games like Auto-Roulette and First Person Lightning Roulette. If you love dice games, you can also try Mega Sic Bo. You can even play Skyward with as little as R0.50, if you don’t like spending too much. You can see everything YesPlay has to offer on its website.
What works
Entry price is very reasonable with most of the games accepting bets for as low as R1. The best part is that there are so many different games for you to choose from, from simple spin-a-number game shows, to roulette wheels and baccarat tables. All the names and brands are quite familiar, which gives the whole thing some much-needed legitimacy. If you enjoy playing lotto-style games, YesPlay will feel just like home to you with plenty of Fafi content in their blog that helps keep local culture alive.

What to note
Just because you’re only betting small amounts, that doesn’t mean you should throw caution to the wind. Game shows can often give huge multipliers, making the results unpredictable. The RTP and volatility will be different depending on the title or even your bet type. For example, if you’re betting R1, one wager might act very differently than another.
First Person tables use random number generators, rather than live hosts, so pick what you enjoy the most. Keep in mind that many of these games feel the same if you play them for too long, so it is easy to place ten quick R1 bets without even realizing it.
