Cresta has always been a hive of activity, shopping, movies, and families moving between errands and excitement. But this July, something extra special is landing right in the heart of this Johannesburg suburb. The Goldrush lounge at Cresta is turning into a winter wonderland, and it’s not just for decoration. The Christmas in July promotion brings festive fun, loyalty perks, and thrilling bingo draws that capture the magic of the season with the pulse of the game floor.
Imagine stepping off a chilly Johannesburg street and into a space where fairy lights twinkle above heated terminals, where the sound of numbers being called is only matched by bursts of cheer from loyal players sipping hot drinks. That’s the scene at Goldrush Cresta this July. The draw, held on 25 July, will feature two chances to win big, at 19:00 and 20:00. The rules are simple, Gold and Platinum loyalty cardholders earn a draw ticket with 5 points, while Black Card members need 10 points to qualify. Your draw ticket is your chance to win, but only if you drop it into the correct tiered draw box in person.
This is not an online draw. The energy comes from the room, the buzz of hopeful players, the community chatter, the anticipation as staff prepare the draw boxes with care. It’s about more than just winning; it’s about being part of something.
A Lounge Transformed
At Cresta, the transformation is total. Expect garlands, baubles, and perhaps even a mock fireplace flickering on a screen while marshmallow-topped hot chocolate makes its rounds. The lounge team spares no effort when it comes to ambiance. There’s even talk of a live local DJ spinning mellow festive beats, turning the usually calm Cresta bingo hall into a place of laughter and celebration.
Between games, expect trivia rounds and surprise spot prizes, festive socks, Goldrush merchandise, or a free entry into the next bingo session. It’s about keeping spirits high and rewarding regulars who make Cresta’s lounge a second home.
You’ll see familiar faces chatting in the snack queue, regulars claiming their lucky seats, and plenty of newcomers drawn by the buzz. The Christmas in July draw is as much a social event as it is a prize opportunity. There’s always room for more at the table, and first-timers are made to feel welcome.
There’s a reason the Cresta lounge is considered one of Goldrush’s most energetic, it’s a space where people come to unwind, connect, and hope. The draw day only amplifies that energy. Whether you come alone or with friends, you leave feeling like part of the family.
What’s in the Draw Box?
Let’s talk rewards. Prizes range from small seasonal hampers (think blankets, candles, and luxury teas) to bigger wins like restaurant vouchers, spa days, and tech gadgets. It all depends on the tier you enter and a bit of luck. But no matter what you win, you’ll be leaving with something, whether that’s a prize or just a night well spent.
With festive décor, community cheer, and real rewards, Christmas in July at Goldrush Cresta is a highlight on the winter calendar. Mark 25 July and start earning your points now. Because in Cresta, the only thing warmer than the hot chocolate is the welcome.
