Virgin Games were launched in 2004 as part of Richard Branson’s global Virgin Group, and consists of Virgin Casino, Bingo and Poker. However, a move in January 2013 saw Virgin Games be sold by the Virgin Group to the online gaming company Gamesys. This move meant that Virgin Games would no longer be part of the global Virgin company and instead by run by Gamesys. The move saw Virgin Games undergo many changes however Gamesys kept the same Virgin logo that many players associate Virgin with. Virgin Casino NavigationUpon landing on the Virgin Casino site, you are immediately hit by a sea of characteristic red and also some animated women who are holding out a plate of chips (obviously not the food)! There is a scrolling banner at the top which displays the latest Virgin offers such as the welcome bonus and then underneath are links to the slots games, the casino and also the bingo which means that within a few short clicks you can be playing games at Virgin. If you are a new player at Virgin you are welcomed with the deposit bonus. You have to create an account before you can receive the bonus (this is easy and quick to do) and then once you have opened an account make a deposit and you will receive a 200% welcome bonus all the way up to £200. Virgin also offers you the chance to collect V*POINTS on selected gameplay, which you can then save and then use for Virgin Flying Club miles. In terms of navigation, the site is very simple and easy. If you fancy trying your hand at the bingo or one of the large number of slots games on this site, these are clearly linked to at the top - just click the relevant link and then you will be able to see a full list of those games. Virgin Casino GamesCasino games are split into simple categories’ (such as Slots, Roulette etc.) and with over 50 games available to play Virgin Casino has something for everyone. Although limited on their casino games they make up for it in having a large number of slots available to play. These include titles such as Wonderland, Star Trek, Elvis - the King and also Da Vinci Diamonds. Demo play is possible before adding a deposit by clicking the Demo button underneath the games, but be aware this feature is not available on every game. However, after testing out one you will get the general idea of the quality, style and usability which is sleekly replicated across the board – just as you would expect from any of Virgin’s brands. Player Support and Payment OptionsThe Virgin online casino generally has a cosy, warm feeling to it (must be all that red), which makes the newcoming gamer feel immediately at ease. The reassurance of the 24/7 help and assistance section is also a brainwave from Virgin, offering gamers contact via telephone, email, callback or Live Chat. However, you would probably be best to check out the incredibly detailed FAQ section first – a great security blanket for the new gamer. Also useful are the separate contact email addresses for the Payments and Security teams, which are helpful should you have a specific query. Payments can be made easily, via Visa, Mastercard, Neteller, Skrill and Paypal, so there is bound to be a secure payment method to suit all. ConclusionOverall, Virgin offers the gamer a varied and flexible experience, with over 50 gaming options to date, plus plenty of incentivised play. You could do far worse than to spend a few hours – and a few pounds – playing your way round this online casino! |
