Table games and the coupon exclusion list
Learn the decision order of each table, then check whether a stake on that table counts toward the coupon you hold. On the published sign-up terms, it does not.
Where table stakes fail a coupon
The R8,888 sign-up terms exclude blackjack, roulette, pontoon, bingo, craps, war, sic-bo and baccarat, along with video poker and crash games. Stakes on those titles do not finish the ten-times playthrough. If your aim is to clear that bonus, stay on slots until the target is met, then move to tables with withdrawable funds.
The R400 article is stricter about some tables and looser about one. Roulette, pontoon, bingo, craps, war and baccarat are excluded. Blackjack is allowed at half value: a R100 blackjack stake contributes R50. Sic-bo is named on the sign-up list and is not repeated in the R400 article's exclusion sentence, so read the coupon you actually hold.
Blackjack decisions, without invented table rules
A blackjack hand deals two cards to you and two to the dealer, one dealer card face down. You act first. Hit to take another card, or stand to stop. Doubling, splitting a pair, and surrender exist only when that title's rules panel allows them. The dealer then plays to a total published in that same panel.
This handbook does not state how many decks SilverSands uses, whether the dealer hits a soft 17, or whether surrender is offered. Those settings change the value of basic strategy, and they were not published as one set of house rules on the pages we checked. Open the rules panel on the table you joined and play to that panel.
Roulette bets, and which wheel you are on
An outside bet covers a large group of numbers, such as red or black, and pays less. An inside bet covers one number or a small group, and pays more. A European wheel has a single zero. An American wheel adds a double zero, which raises the house edge. The operator pages we read do not say which wheel each SilverSands roulette title uses. Check the felt.
Roulette stakes are excluded from both the sign-up playthrough and the R400 article. Playing roulette while either coupon is open does not move you toward a cash-out.
Baccarat, craps, pontoon and the rest
Baccarat deals two hands, player and banker, to fixed drawing rules. You bet on which hand wins, or on a tie. You do not choose cards. Craps is a dice game built around a come-out roll and a point. Pontoon is a blackjack relative with its own drawing rules. War is a high-card comparison. Sic-bo bets on the total or the combination of three dice. Bingo matches numbers to a card.
Each of those titles is on at least one of the operator's exclusion lists. Treat them as games for withdrawable funds, not as a way to finish a sign-up or no-deposit coupon, unless the cashier text for your coupon says otherwise.
