Virgin Casino

Virgin Casino opened in June 2004 using the Wagerworks software platform. The casino is a popular pick in the United Kingdom which is their main market. As with all Wagerworks casinos there is a long list of restricted countries including the USA, Canada and Australia.

When we first reviewed the casino they had a very small range of games but the range has grown over the years to over 200 games today. New games are added every few months so the range is always increasing.

The main software platform at the casino is Wagerworks, a company owned by IGT - one of the worlds biggest slot machine manufacturers. This gives Virgin Casino access to some of the biggest names in slots including Cleopatra and Cleopatra II, Wheel of Fortune, Monopoly, Five Times Pay and Double Diamond.

To increase the game range, Virgin Casino has licensed some of the best games from leading online casino software providers like Microgaming, Bell Fruit Games, and Cryptologic to name a few. We like the fact that one account at Virgin Casino gives you access to the best games from multiple software companies.

Virgin Casino has several big jackpot games including three IGT MegaJackpots. These games are Monopoly, Cluedo and Cleopatra. The jackpots on these games start at £1,500,000 which is one of the highest starting levels of any online jackpot.

There is a bit of a catch with the MegaJackpots. If you get lucky and win the progressive you are paid the jackpot in installments. This is how the Mega Jackpots work in Las Vegas and Wagerworks have continued this online. We have no doubts that you will receive the full payout over time but online jackpots at most casinos are paid out in one payment.

All games at Virgin Casino are instant play which means you do not have to download any software to play. This also means that the casino is compatible with both Window and Mac computers. The only software you need to play is Flash which most people will already have installed on their computers.

Virgin Casino offers all new players the chance to claim a 100% bonus up to $100.The bonus is awarded differently to most casinos with you having to wager your deposit before the bonus is added to your account.

The casino offers a good range of regular promotions. One of the best promotions is the V*Points system. For every bet you make at the casino, win, lose or draw you earn V*Points. These points can then be redeemed for additional casino credits or used at any other Virgin Brand. So for example you can use your V*Points for airfares or Virgin Vouchers.

Overall, Virgin Casino is a top quality online casino with a great range of games. If you are not in one of the excluded countries then we highly recommend opening an account.
