Virgingames is yet another component of millionaire Richard Branson's famous empire that also includes planes, trains, music and television shows. Like all of this famous Brit’s products, the casino lives up to the Virgin brand’s reputation for quality and customer service. Branson’s online casino operates under the Alderney license. One thing this site is known for is its unusual bonuses, which include things like free transatlantic flights on Virgin airlines. Other interesting features have included draws for free flights to Las Vegas with Virgin Atlantic and a week with Richard Branson on his remote Caribbean island.

The welcome bonus is £50 and you can play with an investment that is as low as £5 thus making gambling much more accessible to pensioners and students (people who otherwise may not gamble.) This is probably not a site for high rollers, as it seems to focus on the bells and whistles more than it does on serious or high stakes gambling. Still the gaming options on the site really do impress most visitors and keep them coming back for more.

Virgin Games also offer some versatility as you can play either for free or for cash. There are variety of poker games and table limits to suit poker skill levels from beginner to advance. The selection of games is particularly luscious and includes the newest and most trendy casino games as well as old favorites such as Texas Hold’em, Omaha, Omaha Hi Lo, Seven Card Stud and Seven Card Stud Hi Lo poker games. The site also conducts non-stop Free roll, Sit and Go and Cash tournaments.

In addition to the usual poker games virgin games also has some exotic offerings including Multihand Blackjack, Double Bonus Spin Roulette, Funopoly, and the Desert Orchid Racing Classic and scores of unusual slot machine games. Another very unusual feature of this relatively brand new site is that it allows its users to play at more than one table at the same time. However, if you win too much the house has the right to restrict the number of tables you can sit at its sole discretion.

Like many casinos online, virgin games online also boasts a side chat in its virtual poker rooms. The system also has fully automated play including the flagging of information about bets, whose turn it is and the size of the pot. Each room has a different sized rake (the house’s fee percentage on the pot) that is posted in the virtual room. If you only want to play with people you know you can also opt to play at a private online poker table.

Of course it is not surprising that a company that also runs an airline would have a full-fledged Loyalty program as part of its casino online. You are awarded points every time you play a poker hand and wager. Once you have stockpiled a number of points these can be redeemed for entry into free roll tournaments. These points can also be converted into air miles that can be used on Virgin airlines.
