Carnival City casino entrance fee
If you’re specifically asking about an entrance fee to walk into the Carnival City casino floor, Sun International (the operator) does not publish any general “casino entrance fee” on its official Carnival City casino pages. In other words, there isn’t an advertised cover charge just to enter the casino area on the official site—costs are tied to what you do inside (gaming, events, attractions, food, etc.).

What you will pay for at Carnival City (common costs)
Even when there’s no listed “casino entrance fee,” you may still pay for:
Gambling spend (your choice)
Slots and tables are played with your own money (no “entry fee” is listed, but gambling itself obviously costs based on what you stake). The casino page highlights slots/tables and that it operates 24/7. ([Hotels, Gaming and Entertainment Group][1])
Ticketed events and shows
Carnival City hosts concerts and other events where tickets are required. Their official events page lists ticketed activities and also warns against buying tickets from secondary resellers like Viagogo. ([Hotels, Gaming and Entertainment Group][2])
Paid attractions (family entertainment)
Some on-site attractions (like funfair rides) have their own pricing and ticketing. For example, Carnival City publishes pricing for certain ride specials on its official site. (Hotels, Gaming and Entertainment Group)
Parking (varies by event)
Parking can be charged for specific events. Example: a Carnival City event page lists parking at R20 per car (and notes MVG free parking for that event). (Hotels, Gaming and Entertainment Group)
Entry requirements to be aware of (important)
Age restriction for gambling: 18+
Sun International’s responsible gaming notices state gambling is for persons 18 years and older. ([Hotels, Gaming and Entertainment Group][1])
Bring ID (recommended)
For certain services (like joining/using Sun MVG), the casino page notes you must provide proof of identity and bring a South African ID or passport. Even if you’re not joining MVG, carrying ID is a smart idea at any casino. ([Hotels, Gaming and Entertainment Group][1])
Practical takeaway
- No official “casino entrance fee” is listed on Carnival City’s official casino information pages. ([Hotels, Gaming and Entertainment Group][1])
- Expect to pay for gaming, ticketed events, paid attractions, and sometimes parking (especially for events). ([Hotels, Gaming and Entertainment Group][2])
- You must be 18+ to gamble, and it’s best to carry ID. (Hotels, Gaming and Entertainment Group)
