Lucky Fish’s Ta Da Christmas Tournament lets South African players compete in daily rounds on a set list of slots for a share of R3.5 million, paid out as TaDa Win Cards.

How the Daily Rounds Work

The whole thing lasts 70 days. Rounds begin at 3:00 AM and end at 3:00 AM the next day, SAST. No forms to fill out. No boxes to tick. If you're playing the qualifying games on your Lucky Fish account during those hours, your results are already being tracked.

Your points are based on the size of each win: an R2 win earns 2 points, while an R20 win earns 20. Ten games are marked as double-points titles, so every win in those games earns twice the points. The leaderboard refreshes every 15 minutes. If players finish a round with the same total, the player who placed their bets first takes the higher spot.

Many players don't participate every single day. Since the rounds reset each morning, a single successful session on a double-points game can significantly improve your standing on the leaderboard, even if you missed the previous day's play.

Daily Prize Pool and How the Cards Work

A R50 000 pool is up for grabs each round, and every payout arrives in your account as TaDa Win Cards (Royal). Don’t let them go to waste: the cards have an expiry, and you’ll need to log in and click them to use them. According to the terms, once you’ve used all the cards awarded to you, you’ll be ahead of the person ranked just below you. The cards have no set rand value.

Position TaDa Win Card (Royal)
1st ×10
2nd ×5
3rd ×3
4th–10th ×3
11th–50th ×2
51st–100th ×1
101st–300th ×1
301st–600th ×1

All your winnings will be sent to your backpack within 12 hours after the tournament concludes on January 13, 2027.

If you're on the fence about opening an account just for this, the welcome bonus with Lucky Fish promo code MAXBET is definitely worth considering. The extra balance allows you to try out a few of the event games and get a feel for how the points work before you commit too much of your own funds. Plus, any wins from the bonus count towards the daily standings just like regular play, making it a great, low-pressure way to test out the format.

Games That Count

Double-points games (wins worth twice as much):

Fortune Garuda 500
Gold Mine Express
Fortune Coins
3 Coin Peacock
Leprechaun’s Gold Streak
Fortune Gems 500
Crazy777
Devil Fire 2
Fruit Diamond
X7 HOT

Normal-points games:

X15 HOT
Crazy777 2
Rapid Gems 777
Coin Tree
Joker’s Fortune Win X
Fortune Gems 2
Fortune Gems 3
40 Sparkling Crown
Lucky Jaguar
10 Sparkling Crown

There’s no minimum bet. Some people stick mostly to the double-points list because it scores better; others jump between both depending on what they feel like playing that day.

Rules That Matter

To participate, you must be 18 or older and have a valid Lucky Fish account. Players who have self-excluded are not eligible. Lucky Fish reserves the right to alter, suspend, or cancel this promotion, including any unclaimed prizes, at any time without prior notice. The complete terms and conditions are available on the promotion page, or you can call 087 365 0651 to have them read to you.

When comparing this to other Lucky Fish slot tournaments or holiday promotions, the key distinctions are the daily reset and that the stake size has no bearing on your participation.

These rounds will remain open until January 13, 2027. Please select games you genuinely enjoy from the provided list, keep an eye on the leaderboard as you play, and make sure to claim any TaDa Win Cards before they expire. Always gamble responsibly within your means and review the most current terms on Lucky Fish before beginning.
