Hemingways Casino is Tsogo Sun's Eastern Cape floor, on the Western Bypass in East London beside the hotel and mall that share its name.

The floor

The operator states 400 slot machines spread across the main casino, the smoking casino and the Salon Prive, in denominations from one cent up to 25 rand.

Hours

The casino runs 09:00 to 01:00 Sunday to Wednesday and 09:00 to 04:00 Thursday to Saturday. Tables are later to open: from 16:00 Monday to Thursday, 13:00 on Friday, and 11:00 on Saturday and Sunday, each until close.

Salon Prive

The private room is described as carrying two roulette tables at a 25-rand minimum and one blackjack table at 50 rand, alongside video reel games at 50 cents to two rand and reel machines between five and 25 rand.

Poker

No poker game is named anywhere on the gaming page. The "poker machines" the page refers to in the Prive are slot machines, not poker tables - a distinction worth holding on to when reading South African casino listings.
