Some promotions are designed to be remembered. They don’t just offer rewards, they create scenes, start conversations, and become part of the rhythm of a town. In Mabopane, just outside Pretoria, there’s one event that does exactly that. And if you’ve ever been at Goldrush Morula on a Sunday evening, you’ll know the moment we’re talking about.
The lights flicker with anticipation, the crowd begins to gather around the centre floor. Then, in an instant, the air is filled with money, literally. Bills spiral from above, players shout with glee, and hands shoot up into the whirlwind of cash. It’s chaotic. It’s hilarious. And for those lucky enough to be inside the cash chamber, it’s very rewarding.
Welcome to the Money Shower, Morula’s most talked-about promotion, and a masterclass in how to turn gameplay into theatre. The idea was simple, take a regular Sunday and turn it into something spectacular. Sundays had always been steady at Morula, regulars popping in for a game, a chat, or just to wind down the weekend. But what if there was something to build around? Something that pulled in the crowd and sent people home with stories, and full pockets.
So the team launched the Money Shower, a draw-based promotion where players could earn their way into a transparent cash booth. Once inside, they had seconds to grab as much as they could before the fan kicked up and the air turned into a storm of notes. At first, people were curious. Then, they came back with friends. Now, it’s tradition.
How the Buzz Grows and Anything can Happen
From early afternoon, there’s a noticeable energy shift at the venue. Players arrive just a little earlier. The EBTs start filling up quicker. Staff circulate, reminding patrons that entries close soon and encouraging everyone to get their names in.
You can hear the regulars doing the maths in their heads, how much they’ve played, how many entries they’ve banked. Some play strategically, spreading out their sessions. Others just go all in, hoping to secure multiple shots at the booth. As 6pm approaches, the floor gets louder. Everyone starts to glance toward the cash booth in the centre of the venue, a clear chamber built just for the occasion, standing like a trophy, waiting.
When it’s time, the music drops and the mic comes out. The host, always someone charismatic and familiar, takes centre stage and begins to read out names. You can feel the tension. First name. Not present. Next name. Someone cheers. A chair scrapes back. And a winner is walked over to the booth. They’re handed goggles and gloves. The countdown begins. And then the storm starts. In those 30 seconds, the booth turns into a flurry of colour and motion. Notes spin, twist, and dodge, some players are clinical, trapping bills with both hands. Others laugh through the chaos, grabbing whatever flies near.
And when the time runs out, whatever’s in their hands is theirs to keep. Some walk away with a few hundred rand. Others walk away with thousands.
Not Just About the Winner
What makes the Money Shower special isn’t just the chance to win. It’s how it involves everyone, even those not inside the booth. The crowd claps, laughs, offers tips. Friends record videos and post them. Strangers high-five when someone scores big. It’s communal, it’s light-hearted, and it reminds everyone that this place isn’t just about games. It’s about experiences.
For families, it’s entertainment. For couples, it’s a date night with a twist. And for seasoned players, it’s one more reason to choose Morula over any other venue.
It’s a local landmark, situated adjacent to the legendary Morula Sun precinct, it’s part of the community’s history, but it hasn’t stayed in the past. The modern Goldrush venue that now operates there has been reimagined for today’s players, blending the classic charm of the original location with updated tech, sleek design, and thoughtful promotions. The Money Shower fits perfectly in that balance. It’s modern in its format but deeply local in its appeal. It feels like something that belongs here, and only here.
The Money Shower happens every Sunday, with draw entries typically based on play from that same day. Make sure you’re swiping your loyalty card with each session. The more you play, the more entries you collect. But remember, even one spin could get your name in. Just make sure you’re present for the draw, if your name is called and you’re not there, the opportunity passes to the next player.
As with all great things, there are terms and conditions, but the staff at Morula make it easy to understand. Ask at the promotions desk when you arrive, they’re always happy to guide you.
Sundays Done Right
In a world full of forgettable promotions and generic experiences, the Money Shower stands out, not just because of the cash, but because of the joy. It’s local, it’s lively, and it captures what Goldrush Morula is all about, giving back to the people who keep showing up.
