Virgin casino is the online casino for the Branson brand and as such, comes with a very good reputation. The underlying platform is supplied by IGT which has big plus points for slots players but for table games players the variety of games isn't as good as say, Ladbrokes casino.

But this is IGT and any experienced slots player will know that IGT dominate the land-based casinos with games like the uber-popular Cleopatra and (in my opinion better) Cleopatra 2, Treasures of Troy and - as they used to say on TV ads when Virgin record stores were still around - many, many more!

Virgin also complements the IGT games with a selection of slot games from other providers including Microgaming, so expect to also see Flash versions of Thunderstruck, Hitman, Rainbow Riches and other popular slot games at Virgin Casino.

Oh yeah - I should also mention that Virgin uses a Flash (Instant Play) platform, so you don't have to download any software. It's all played from within the comfort of your favourite web browser. This is a big advantage although I must admit it can lead to a slightly less casino-y experience IMO.

OPERATIONS

I said it once, I'll say it again: the Virgin brand is very trustworthy and their customer experience at Virgin casino fits in well with that ethos. All casino cashouts are processed the next working day, there is no dreaded "Reverse Pending" time to sit through and the whole depositing and cashout process is very smooth.

Email support is generally pretty decent although I've never really needed to use it and I've been playing there most months since 2006.

Setting up to play Virgin casino is a breeze. Because there is no download required, you simly head to trhe registration page, sign up your details and add your deposit method. Then away you go. If you are new to online casinos there is no setup easier but one tip: always use your correct details and a proper email address as, at some point with ANY online casino, they will ask for ID (via email or post - up to you) which means scanning or photographing a passport and utility bill or something and sending it.

CONCLUSION

There's not much not to like about Virgin casino. It's one of those casinos which in my experience, always seems to run smoothly, has very decent slot games and is easy to play. Most importantly, cashouts are prompt.

It's not the right casino for table players who prefer card games and roulette to slots though. Yes, it has those games and yes, they are OK, but there are better options out there: Ladbrokes and 32Red spring to mind.

But for slots players it is one of the best online casinos for those familar slot games we all know and love from land-based.
