From airplanes to mobile phones to credit cards, the UK-based Virgin
Corporation is the brain child of the now-millionaire, Richard
Branson. The name's mostly famous in the UK, but the Virgin
name will probably be known the world over too. As such, it came as
no surprise to me to learn that Virgin has decided to cash in on
their name by setting up an online casino called Virgin
Games Casino or simply Virgin Casino!
Virgin Casino accepts members from across the
globe. To aid with this, whilst the UK Ł currency is naturally
accepted, accounts can also be created in US $, Canadian $ and
Euros.
The Virgin Games Casino actually operates using the Wagerworks
software. This isn't a widely used casino software type,
but this shouldn't put you off. Virgin Casino is still
licensed, as with a number of casinos (in this instance in Alderney).
One of the big draws of Virgin Casino, and indeed any casino
operating using Wagerworks software, is that the casino is only
available in no-download form.Virgin offer 45 different games
split in to sections such as 'table' and 'video poker'. Virgin introduce new games on a pretty
frequent basis, although it must be said that these are usually of a
slot or slot-type nature.
Virgin offers 50
in free credits can be claimed by all new players (100% match from 5
to 50 credits). Basically, a player
has to wager their initial deposit amount (on which the bonus match
amount is based) 10 times. Once this has been achieved, the money is
automatically added to a player's account automatically. This is
great, and means that if a big win comes along a player can cash out
or, if they wish, they can meet the wagering requirements and
receive up to 50 credits free!
The graphics used are
incredibly vibrant and the purple-tinted cloth used in the table
games makes a refreshing change from some of the stuffier casinos
available. Betting limits are also good - $1
minimum and $1000 maximum blackjack bets should satisfy the vast
majority of visitors.
Fair gaming is a must for players,
and Virgin Casino satisfies this requirement. All
games are tested and certified and Virgin provides a guarantee on
their site that their games are random. . Great graphics and sound
effects, particularly when big wins spin in, definitely keep the
player entertained. Of course, some of the other slot games at
Virgin are great too. The 'Price is Right' is
another TV-themed game and it was on playing this and the cool Cluedo
game.
The same high standard approach has been taken with the support
offered at Virgin Casino, although it must be stated this is somewhat
UK-focused. A toll free number is available 24/7 for UK
players - for international players, an international call would
need to be made.
