If you’re a slots fan at Lucky Fish Casino, then 2026 is shaping up to be an absolute blockbuster year because throughout March and April, Pragmatic Play is unleashing three different promotions that deliver something for literally everyone.

2026 Is Looking Pretty Good

If you play slots at Lucky Fish Casino, 2026 is looking pretty good. Throughout March and April, Pragmatic Play is offering three different promotions with various ways to win. One of these jackpots even runs through December. It doesn't matter what kind of player you are. Maybe you like watching prize pools build up. Maybe you prefer instant random wins. Or perhaps you enjoy competing on leaderboards. There's something here for everyone. The key thing is that these promotions give every player a real chance at some substantial rewards.

All promotions are available on popular Pragmatic Play games. To participate, you just need a verified Lucky Fish account and must be at least 18 years old. As always, please play responsibly and only wager what you can comfortably afford.

1. Lucky Weekend Jackpot: Grab 100% of the Entire Growing Pool Every Weekend

This progressive jackpot is all about building anticipation. Every Friday at 9:00 AM, the pool starts growing from qualifying bets. It builds steadily throughout the weekend, right up until Sunday at 9:00 PM. Then, when the weekend closes, one winner gets everything. 100% of the total is paid out in cash. It's made for those big moments that can truly change your life.

How to qualify

Place bets of R2 or higher on the selected jackpot games.
Every qualifying bet counts as an entry – the more you play, the stronger your chances.
A percentage of each stake automatically feeds the growing jackpot.

Live jackpot tracker

Look at the live display on the site. It gives you the current pool size and shows a countdown to Sunday's payout. Because it updates immediately, you always know exactly what's waiting to be won.

Participating games

Pragmatic Play's most popular games include several fan favourites. There are 5 Lions Megaways and The Dog House, which many players love. Gates of Olympus 1000, Sweet Bonanza 1000, and Starlight Princess 1000 are also top choices. The entire Big Bass Bonanza series is worth exploring, along with Zeus vs Hades and Fire Strike. Sugar Rush 1000 and Fruit Party round out the list. During the holidays, Gates of Olympus Xmas 1000 and Big Bass Christmas Bash add festive fun.

You’ll also find exciting Booming Games slots (Bamboo Wilds, Holly Jolly Bonanza, Power of Olympus, Blockchain Megaways) and Spinmatic jackpot games (3 Amigos Jackpot, Poseidon Jackpot, Holly Molly Hole, and more).

The promotion runs every weekend from December 2025 right through to 27 December 2026 – plenty of time to jump in and chase that full-pool win.

2. Pragmatic Play Prize Drops: R280,000 in Random Cash Prizes

Between 5 March and 30 April 2026, special Prize Drop sessions run from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM on selected evenings. Cash prizes land completely at random while you’re actively playing – no extra entry required.

Prize Drop dates

March: Thursdays 5, 12, 19 & 26; Wednesday 25; Tuesday 31.
April: Thursdays 2, 9, 16, 23 & 30; Saturday 25.

How it works

Prize pools

Most sessions pay out one R5,000 prize, five R2,000 prizes, and five R500 prizes.

On four extra-generous dates (25 & 31 March, 25 & 30 April), the prizes get even bigger: one R3,000, four R2,000, ten R1,500, and nine R1,000 cash drops.

3. Pragmatic Play Payweek Tournament – Compete for R120,000 on the Leaderboard

Love a bit of friendly rivalry? The Payweek Tournament lets you climb daily leaderboards and win cash based on your performance.

Tournament schedule

27–30 March 2026
26–29 April 2026. Each evening runs from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM.

Scoring made simple

Place R2+ bets on the same great Pragmatic Play games. Your points = (winnings ÷ stake) × 1000. Even break-even spins earn points, so every round helps you move up the daily ranking. There’s no limit on entries – the more you play and the better your win-to-stake ratio, the higher you climb.

Daily prizes

1st – R6,000
2nd – R4,000
3rd – R2,500
4th – R1,500
5th – R1,000

Cash is paid into your account 36–48 hours after each session ends. Winners have five days to fill in a quick confirmation form to secure their prize.
