Get your green on

Suit or tracks and tee, however you roll, it doesn’t matter. Put together your best ensemble as long as it’s green because St Patrick’s Day is here. Every year on 17 March, people the world over honour the patron saint of Ireland, St Patrick.

According to legend, he used a shamrock to explain the concept of the Holy Trinity to the people of Ireland, and the young three-leaved sprig quickly became a symbol of good luck – earning March the title of the month of luck!

Feeling lucky? Roll clover

St Patrick’s Day is about celebrating, and gaming superstitions are part of the festivities. From wearing green to bring yourself good fortune to carrying lucky charms or talismans like four-leaf clovers or horseshoes to increase your chances of winning at the casino.

If you want to take it a step further, look out for leprechauns and the colour green – the two most popular symbols of St Patrick’s Day. Leprechauns are mythical creatures from Irish folklore depicted as mischievous little men wearing green clothing and a hat, who hide their pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. You can often find a leprechaun with shamrocks, pots of gold, or rainbows on slot machines. At Boardwalk Casino, you will find all this when you participate in the Go For Gold promotion – Sun MVGs who actively play slots or tables can get to enjoy a lucky green drink and a chance to win a share of R20 000.

The felt covering on poker tables and the number zero for roulette wheels are often, if not always green and not only for practical reasons. Green is a lucky colour, so you can be sure your luck at the tables and slots will be at an all-time high this St Patrick’s Day.
