Virgin Games: Brand Profiles - Virgin Casino News - Start The New Year Right!

Virgin Casino

Virgin Casino is packed full of Vegas favourites from Wheel of Fortune and Price is Right to 6 different versions of Blackjack and 4 different versions of Roulette. You'll also find some of the most entertaining and unique slots on the web with Monopoly on a Roll and Cluedo.

Virgin Casino runs a 24 hour call centre, credits casino payouts quickly (between 24 and 72 hours) and with full Gamcare Certification is one of the safest places to play online. The casino does not accept bets from the USA or jurisdictions where online gaming is illegal.

V*POINTS
At Virgin Casino we figure that it's about time you got more rewards back from your play. That's why we are thrilled to introduce you to V*POINTS, where you'll earn points that can be exchanged for cash or a range of exciting Virgin rewards every time you play. More...

Promotions
If that's not enough, new players will also find signing up is sweetened by a 100% sign up match bonus up to £100 and there are regular cash and prize bonus promotions that run throughout every month of the year.

Virgin Poker

Virgin Poker is all about value. Apologies for the marketing speak but we've tried to pack as much extra value into the great game of poker as possible. That naturally means freerolls and decent guaranteed tournaments (without the whole world in them) but it also means V*POINTS.

Tournaments

Poker players will find plenty of action day or night from a range of games including Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Stud and 5 Card Draw. The call centre is 24/7 and there's manager chat for any queries players might have.

Tournaments run regularly and new players will find a daily €35 freeroll as well as a 100,000 V*POINT freeroll every Sunday. There's a full selection of Multi Table tournaments including a weekly €20,000 guaranteed, a monthly €100,000 guaranteed tournament and satellites for all major events including the EPT and WPT.

Naturally there's also free play on offer at Virgin Poker but with games starting from 5 cents and a weekly 100,000 V*POINT freeroll we think you'll get a taste for the real thing pretty quickly.

V*POINTS
Players earn V*POINTS for every cash hand played on both tournament and cash tables. Whether you win or lose you, every time you play a hand you earn V*POINTS, Simple. Players can then exchange V*POINTS for lots of Virgin extras. That's Virgin Atlantic Flying Club miles, Virgin Vouchers that can be spent on a variety of things from mobile top-ups to digital downloads, and of course Virgin Poker cash for the tables.

Promotions
New players will enjoy a cool 100% match deposit bonus up to £100 plus daily €35 freeroll as well as a 100,000 V*POINT freeroll every Sunday.

Virgin Bingo

Virgin Bingo is part of the Virgin Games family and is wholly owned by the Virgin Group. Quite simply we believe that gaming should be fun and entertaining. It should be rewarding whether you win or lose. That's why at this site your players will enjoy the best bingo, slots and video poker around, and we will offer them unique prizes unobtainable on any other sites - we simply want your players to have a great time.

V*POINTS
At Virgin Bingo we figure that it's about time you got more rewards back from your play, so we are revamping our loyalty scheme and launching a brand new scheme called V*POINTS. In a nutshell, this now means you will earn reward points when playing for real money on all Virgin Bingo games.

Promotions
New players will enjoy 100% match deposit bonus up to £100.

Virgin Games is part of Richard Branson's world famous Virgin Group of companies.

Virgin Games Release Treasures Of Troy Online Slot Game - 23rd December 2009

Virgin Games has just released Treasures Of Troy online slot game.

Introduction

Your odyssey to epic riches begins. Enjoy unprecedented levels of slot action with 40 paylines plus 1024 additional ways to win! Bet 40 credits to cover 40 paylines; gain 1024 more ways to win for only 40 credits more. With twenty independent reels, you can reap monumental pays for big clusters of matching symbols.

Get two or more Bonus symbols and storm the city of Troy in the Free Spins Bonus. Enjoy 10, 15, or 20 free spins on extra-rich bonus reels with the opportunity to retrigger the bonus multiple times.

May the gods of Olympus favour you with wealth and glory.

How to Bet
Treasures of Troy® features 40 paylines plus 1024 Ways. You can play any number of paylines in payline-only mode. Or when playing all 40 paylines, you can activate 1024 Ways by doubling your bet. Your bet multiplier may be 1 to 5. Your bet multiplier multiplies payline and MultiWay® wins (if 1024 Ways are activated).

Lines+Ways
Selects the number of active paylines and whether or not 1024 Ways activated. Click the left arrow (with a minus sign) to decrease number of paylines played and to disable 1024 Ways. Click the right arrow (with a plus sign) to increase number of paylines played and to activate 1024 Ways. Choose between 1, 10, 20, 30, 40 paylines, or 40 paylines plus 1024 Ways activated. 1024 Ways may only be activated if you are playing 40 paylines.

Bet Multiplier
Displays current bet multiplier for paylines and 1024 Ways (if activated). Click the left arrow (with a minus sign) to decrease bet multiplier by one. Click the right arrow (with a plus sign) to increase bet multiplier by 1, up to a maximum of 5.

Max Bet
Click the MAX BET button to bet the maximum of 5 credits on all 40 paylines and to activate 1024 Ways with a bet multiplier of 5. MAX BET is not available if you have fewer than 400 credits.

Play
Click the PLAY button to spin the reels. The number shown on the PLAY button is the number of credits bet.

1024 Ways - Multiways® Pays
If 1024 Ways are activated (see How to Bet), you gain 1024 more ways to win with MultiWay® awards. MultiWay® awards pay for matching symbols in any position in four or more adjacent columns, starting from the leftmost column. More than one matching symbol in the same column multiplies the award. Each symbol position is a separate reel, so matching symbols can appear in multiple positions leading to massive wins. MultiWay® awards are paid in addition to any line awards.

You'll enjoy the richest play experience with 1024 Ways activated.

This diagram shows a sample reel outcome focusing only on the King symbols:

*see website

With 1024 Ways activated, this is a MultiWay® award outcome. Since there is at least one King symbol in each of the first four columns (and no King in the fifth column), we have a "4 King" MultiWay® winner.

With a bet multiplier of 1x, a single "4 King" MultiWay® outcome pays 10 credits. However, because some of the columns have more than one King symbol, a "4 King" MultiWay® win occurs on more than one of the possible ways. Each of these ways pays 10 credits.

To determine the number of ways, multiply together the number of relevant symbols from each of the relevant columns. The number of King symbols in the first four columns, respectively, is:
2 Kings -- 3 Kings -- 1 King -- 3 Kings

so the total number of MultiWay® award ways is:
2 x 3 x 1 x 3 = 18 ways

and therefore, we have "4 King" MultiWay® awards along eighteen different ways.
This yields a total MultiWay® pay of:
10 credits per way x 18 different ways = 180 credits

Note that the 180 credit MultiWay® pay is in addition to any line pays. In this example, there is also a "3 King" payline award (formed by the top King in each of the first three columns aligning with the 15th payline).

Since a "3 King" payline award is 15 credits, the total award is:
15 payline credits + 180 MultiWay® credits = 195 total pay credits

Free Spins Bonus
You can trigger the Free Spins Bonus by getting two or more Bonus symbols on any of the centre column reels. The more Bonus symbols that appear at the same time, the more free spins you are awarded.

During the Free Spins Bonus, you can retrigger the Bonus multiple times. Your Free Spins Bonus continues until you have 0 spins remaining, or until you have played 130 free spins, or until the maximum award is reached. To retrigger the Bonus, you need to get two or more Bonus symbols on any of the centre column reels on a Free Spin.

Your bet in the Free Spins Bonus, including 1024 Ways activation, is the same as on the reel spin that triggered the Bonus.

The Free Spin Bonus has richer reels and more ways to win than the main game.

Options
AUDIO
You can turn the audio for the game ON (default) or OFF by clicking the corresponding option.

GRAPHICS QUALITY
You may want to adjust the quality of the graphics to get the optimal animation performance on your computer. In BEST mode, the graphics look the best, but performance may suffer. The HIGH and MEDIUM (default) settings lower the quality but increase the performance. In LOW mode, the graphics are degraded, but the smoothest animation performance is achieved even on slower computers.

Rules
Malfunction voids all pays and plays.

All line pay symbols must appear on a played line and on consecutive reels, beginning with the far left reel.

All payline wins occur on bet lines only.

Only highest winner paid on each payline.

Line wins are multiplied by the bet multiplier.

Coinciding wins on different paylines are added.

MultiWay® wins are formed when the same symbol (or its substitute) appears on contiguous columns starting with the left-most column.

MultiWay® wins are multiplied by the bet multiplier.

MultiWay® wins are paid in addition to line wins (if any).

MultiWay® wins are only paid if 1024 Ways is activated.

Awards are shown in credits.

The maximum win on any transaction is capped at 125,000 currency units (pounds, for example). A transaction includes the results of the Free Spins Bonus plus the outcome which launched the Bonus.

Additional Information
The GAME CONSOLE provides information and access to additional features:
Your current balance in your chosen currency
Your total number of credits
The denomination in which the game is being played. This represents the value of each credit.

The METER BAR on the bottom of the game screen displays the denomination in which the game is being played, the number of credits paid if a win occurred, and the number of credits bet on the last/current proposition.

Captain America: Australia's Sam Worthington would kill for movie role, by Greg Tingle - 21st December 2009

Aussie Sam Worthington has let it be known via the press that he's keen to play Marvel icon, Captain America aka Steve Rogers.

One of the working titles for Captain America is "The First Avenger".

Worthington recently wowed audiences around the world in James Cameron's Avatar.

Marvel Entertainment is expected to release at least 3 new Marvel themed motion pictures within the next 12 months including Captain America, Thor, Iron-Man II and The Avengers.

Marvel, like many entertainment companies, is looking at ways to ride out the world's financial storm, and it would seem that the gaming and igaming sector has come to the rescue, along with Disney management and shareholders.

The company is continuing to ramp up licensing deals with gaming and igaming being a major focus, and long time Marvel rival, DC Comics, is following suit.

The following are just some of the Marvel themed online slot games available at PartyCasino.com

Thor

The Hulk

Spider-Man

Fantastic Four

Iron-Man is available at Noble Casino, and the Captain America online slot game is available at InterCasino.com

Thor is widely considered as the pick of the bunch and insiders advise that PartyCasino is the premier casino website. Players can also compete for the Marvel Hero Jackpot and Super Hero Jackpot!

Most Marvel themed games can be played for free or played for money. Ironically, American players can't play for money due to current U.S gaming regulations, but Canandians can! Australians have been successful in opening account with PartyCasino, which is owned and operated by gaming powerhouse, PartyGaming.

One last thing true believers... Marvel and all round comic book icon, living legend, Stan Lee, will be making a cameo in at least one Marvel Entertainment film release within months. Excelsior!

Virgin Casino Gets Super Hero Slot Games, by Greg Tingle - December 2009

Virgin Casino and Virgin Bingo see new games rolled out thanks to a deal signed with giant software provider, Cryptologic.

Cryptologic's popular The Hulk, Spider-Man and Fantastic Four have leapt into action at Richard Branson's Virgin Games operation.

History buffs will be interested to know that it was living legend, Stan Lee, who was a driving force in developing many of the Marvel super hero characters over the decades. Lee also appears in Marvel motion pictures from time to time, usually in cameo roles.

"Big brands drive player popularity and that is why Cryptologic is excited to launch a game based on Superman, one of the most iconic brands of the entertainment world," said the President and CEO of Cryptologic, Brian Hadfield.

Other new games to be found at Virgin Casino include NextGen Gaming's Blankety Blank and The Price is Right, Cryptologic's Cubis, Virtue Fusion's Dynamite Digger and Ash Gaming's Rubik's Slot.

Virgin Games offer a rewards system, V*Points, which is regarded as one of the industry top reward programs.

2010 will see more new games released at Virgin, and be on the lookout for more Marvel hero themed movies to hit the cinema including Thor and Iron-Man II, and don't be surprised to see more super hero themed games to hit Virgin in the coming months. As Stan Lee says, EXCELSIOR!

Play for free or play for money at Richard Branson's Virgin Games.

Virgin Casino New Release: Dynamite Digger

Introduction

Dynamite Digger is a five reel, twenty line slot with a Tumbling Reels feature.

Tumbling Reels Feature

All symbol combinations defined in the pay table will trigger the Tumbling Reels feature during game play. All winning symbol combinations are evaluated and values are displayed in the 'Won' field and added to your account balance.

All winning symbols in the combination disappear. All symbol positions on each reel are filled as symbols tumble from above, in sequence, to fill the empty spaces. The game screen is re-evaluated for symbols in winning combinations and values are displayed in the 'Won' field and added to your account.

The Tumbling Reels feature remains active until no winning symbol combinations are created.

Pay Table

Winnings paid out on Dynamite Digger are dependant on the symbols displayed on the line once the reels have come to a stop. 2, 3, 4 or 5 more matched symbols pay the following multiples of the stake amount:

*see website

If you hover over any symbol in the game screen for a short period it will provide the payouts for that icon in a mini pop-up. The potential payouts can also be seen by clicking on the Pay Table button in the bottom right corner of the game.

Game Rules

The following game rules apply:
You can bet up to £5.00 per line creating a total maximum bet of £100 per spin.
The minimum bet is £0.01
All wins pay from left to right. Any winning combination of matched symbols must start from reel 1 to 5 consecutively.

Winnings are paid out on the highest combination on each enabled line only.
Tumbling Reels will activate on winning lines only. In the event of a winning line the winning symbols will be removed and symbols will fall from above to fill the space. This set of symbols will then be evaluated for winning lines and so on. The Tumbling Reels feature will continue until there are no longer any winning symbol combinations.

Additional Information

The RTP for Dynamite Digger is 95%.

In the case of any malfunction, all bets and winnings are null and void.

Rubik's® slot now available at Virgin Casino and Virgin Bingo - 8th December 2009

Rubik's® slot now available at Virgin Casino and Virgin Bingo

Rubik’s® is based on the popular Rubik's® Cube Puzzle. However, the player doesn’t even have to rotate the cube at all or affect anything else in the game, they simply need to press the 'Play' button and then the cube will rotate randomly and when it stops the player is awarded winnings based on how many completed sides and lines there are.

How To Play:

• Press PLAY to start the game. The Rubik's Cube will then start to rotate randomly.
• Between 0 and 6 of the letters of the logo will then light up and play a sound as lit. If all 6 letters are lit then after the winnings are highlighted the player will get to the FreePlays bonus.
• The cube will then stop rotating and the amount won will be determined by the number of lines and sides of the same colour.
• 3 squares of the same colour in a straight line (not diagonal) on the same side will will count as one line. If all the squares on a side are the same colour then a bonus side payout is also awarded for that side as well as the line payouts.
Bonus games

• The player has to select one of the 27 squares that are on the cube and that will then peel of the sticker in that position which will show a prize to the player.
• The prize will either be additional FreePlays or additional cubes.
• The player will get to pick a random number of different squares until they peel one off that says START - and at this point the FreePlays will start.

Bonus Game

• The player has to select one of the 27 squares that are on the cube and that will then peel of the sticker in that position which will show a prize to the player. The prize will either be additional FreePlays or additional cubes.
• The player will get to pick a random number of different squares until they peel one off that says START - and at this point the FreePlays will start.

FreePlays

• FreePlays will each play out automatically and will be for the same stake that was placed for the last bet.
• FreePlays can be re-triggered during FreePlays mode, so you could be awarded with extra FreePlays - if all 6 letters of the Rubik's logo light up then an extra prize will be awarded. This time however the player does not get to choose any squares and is just shown what they won in a popup. Also only extra cubes or extra FreePlays are awarded (cant get both as only one prize is awarded).
• All winnings during FreePlays mode will be credited to your account balance after each play. Auto Play By selecting 'Auto Play' you can choose to play up to 25 plays automatically, one after the other.

New Super Hoot Loot game at Virgin Games - December 2009

London, Virgin Games have announced the latest addition to their range of bingo slot games with the arrival of Super Hoot Loot. This five-reel, 40-payline game offers players the chance to win up to 250,000 credits with a single spin.

Winnings can either be redeemed in the form of cash or V-Points, which can be used on a range of Virgin-branded products. Available in multiple-currencies, the game is expected to be a hit not only in the U.K, but also across the world.

Gamers should look out for the special ‘Hoo the Owl’ symbol, which can appear on any of the game reels to multiple the amount of money won. There is also a free bonus game, which is played with higher hit-frequency reels and can mean winnings multiplied by 10.

This product is the latest in a series of new additions to the site, which include a number of popular entertainment and television franchises, including the new X-Factor bingo game. The site, which is based in Guernsey, was launched in 2004 and received a full re-brand in 2006. Today, it offers a range of bingo, poker and casino products, all of which are offered over a secure 128 bit SSL encryption for complete safety and peace and mind. The group is fully committed to ethical and responsible gaming practices and having fun in the ‘unique Virgin way.’

A spokesperson for the company commented:

“The Super Hoot Loot game is not only one of our most fun games ever; it also offers some of the best cash rewards of any online bingo site. This is just the latest in a range of products we have added to the site recently, in our quest to offer users the finest online gaming experience around.”

Virgin Games Celebrate Affiliate Gaming Award

Virgin Games are delighted to announce their success at the recent EGR awards, where they won the accolade of "Affiliate Programme of the Year." Virgin Games beat some stiff competition from a host of other providers, including 888, Betfair, Ladbrokes and Paddy Power to collect the award at London's Billingsgate Market on Monday 30th November.

Now in their 5th year, the EGR awards are widely considered to be the Oscars of the online industry and this award is recognition of Virgin's achievement and innovation in the sector. Jake Pollard, editor of eGaming Review, commented:

"Congratulations to Virgin Games for winning one of the most competitive categories in the EGR Awards. The relationship between affiliates and operators is vital to the health of the E-gaming sector and by winning the Affiliate Programme of the Year award, Virgin Games has demonstrated its strength and skill in understanding and managing this key aspect of the industry."

Launched in June 2004 Virgin Games offer a range of popular Casino, Bingo, and Poker products. In addition to substantial cash prizes, gamers can earn V Points, which can be redeemed against a whole host of Virgin branded products. The Guernsey-based website is a fully-owned subsidiary of Virgin and adopts the company's ethos of having fun in that 'unique Virgin way.' The group is fully committed to ethical and responsible gaming policies, and prides itself on offering an honest and fair approach.

This is the latest in a string of awards which Virgin Games have picked up over the last few years. In June 2008 they were awarded "Best Gaming Affiliate Programme" at the a4uAwards and in January of this year, the company's Head of Affiliates, Pierrick Leveque, was voted "Best Bingo Affiliate Manager" at the 2nd annual Affiliate Awards. He commented on this latest win by saying:

"Everybody here at Virgin Games is delighted with this award. This year's shortlist was packed with industry heavyweights, and for a comparatively small outfit like Virgin Games to get the vote makes the win all the sweeter."

"Without the Virgin Games management team, who gambled on building our in-house affiliate system three years ago; the Virgin Games technical team, who engineered the most stable, fun and scalable affiliate system I've had the pleasure to work on, and most importantly, without our loyal affiliates, we wouldn't be where we are today. We can all be proud."

Virgin Games now offer the most decorated online gaming affiliate programme around. To find out more, visit: VirginGames.com

Richard Branson Plays Online Casino At? ... Virgin Casino From Virgin Games, by Greg Tingle

Ok, we admit, it's a headline and eyeball grabber, but hey, we're just following the lead by arguably the world's greatest publicity stunt guru, and celebrated business tycoon, Mr.. um, Sir Richard.

Sir Richard Branson has been publicly spotted at casinos a few times over the years. Most recently at The Palms in Vegas, where a stunt didn't go quite as planned, scraping the casino with his pants and hands, and fortunately escaping with his life, thus cheating death, something he's accustomed to with his planes, trains, automobiles and
hot air balloons... oh, and now space ships.

Earlier this year Mr Branson was spotted with Australian media tycoon, James Packer, at the Melbourne Grand Prix, but Branson didn't try his luck at Crown, although Mr Tom Cruise (from Top Gun and Mission: Impossible fame) and family did a few months later. Branson also scored (or should that be campaigned) a cameo in Casino Royale a few
years ago, if you want to include that "buy in", or gift in kind.

By the way, readers, unfortunately Australian players can't play online casino at Virgin Casino, due to technical reasons we will leave for the legal eagles, however punters can plan in person at Mr Packer's Crown Casino, TAB's Star City Casino, or online via our friends at PartyCasino.com or Captain Cooks Casino, and if poker is your poison and your based down under in Australia, try PartyPoker.com, Noble Poker or Titan Poker, and you might even quality to play at the Poker Cup at Crown Casino next month!

Aussie tongues are also wagging about the Aussie Millions coming up at Crown this January, and PartyGaming is setting the agenda on a global scale with their recent purchase of the World Poker Tour, for a cool 13 million or thereabouts.

Our friends in the national and international news media community provided more than adequate media coverage of the World Poker Tour deal, and they have been more than fair to Branson and his Virgin Group of Companies over the years also.

So, if online casino is your poison and your ISP or firewall will let you into VirginCasino.com, go for it, and if not, try the Global Gaming Directory, World Casino Directory, World Gaming Directory or Multi Currency Casino, you will bypass Virgin, and end up at PartyCasino.com Mr Branson should forgive you if you have no other choice, and he might like to write to Australia's ACMA in the meantime to see if it's the Aussie great firewall playing games, or something else.

In any event, work hard and party hard, be it a Virgin, Party Casino animal, or World Poker Tour high flyer. Australia's Team Goanna and Gumleaf Mafia would be proud of the business and casino entrepreneurs efforts, and Mr Packer, CAP, Gambling911, GPWA, Poker News Daily and EGR, keep the bastard honest.

Branson, Packer, Ryan, Ayre, Garber, Weizer, Trump, Adelson, Wynn, Murdoch, Costigan... you're throw of the dice. Cheers me maties.
