Virgin Casino

Virgin Casino first opened its online doors back in 2005 and since then has proven itself one of the big guns amongst UK online casino operators. Undoubtedly the Virgin brand has helped it win friends since the company arrived on the online casino scene with an enviable reputation in the entertainment and leisure industry, making it a known quantity for many players dipping their toe into online gaming for the first time. But digging deeper, has Virgin Casino moved with the times to maintain a gaming experience to keep both new and old customers satisfied?

To cover the nitty gritty of security first, Virgin Casino is licenced by the Alderney Gaming Commission and uses the very latest encryption standards for its banking facilities so straight off the bat players can be assured they're in safe hands here. Now 'safe' is good, but if that equates with 'dull' then that doesn't bode well for a compelling online casino experience, so it's time to turn our attention to the Virgin gaming.

Neatly arranged in categories Virgin deploys a very enticing selection of classic casino fare, powered by Wagerworks software. One of the major appeals of Virgin Casino for us ever since its launch is that the Wagerworks games are Instant Play - no software needs to be downloaded and installed making this a casino you can play on pretty much any web-connected computer. The trade off has often been that Instant Play casino games have been less rich in their animation, graphics and sound than 'download casinos', but with the rapid spread of high-speed broadband this gap has been closing over the years and Wagerworks' games will not disappoint. Just sampling one of the twelve Roulette games on offer will leave you in no doubt that Virgin have been canny casino operators to choose Wagerworks, as the experience has all the authentic vibe you want matched with an intuitive user interface to make getting into the action a snap.

Accessing the delights of Virgin Casino requires a very straightforward registration process and allows you to trial the vast majority of the available games for free if you like a more thorough test-drive of a casino before committing real money on your bets. Whenever you are ready to play for real, Virgin has very competitive bonuses to reward your first deposit, plus on-going daily and weekly promotions to thank you for your loyalty. This is one of the strong appeals of Virgin Casino for long-term players, and its alliance with other parts of the Virgin Empire means it can offer superb non-cash prizes too.

Excellent round-the-clock customer support via Freephone, email, live chat and a call back service completes the Virgin Casino package, and ticks the final box for us. All told, Virgin Casino has always been a good bet for online players, but it also deserves considerable praise for consistently developing its service to deliver more games and goodies without compromising its ease of use. Whatever your weapon of choice - be it the cool of classic table games like Roulette, or the pimped-up action of progressive slots - we'd say Virgin Casino is bang on target for online entertainment.
