Virgin Casino & Microgaming Tie Up

In a move that will please its players, Virgin Casino has announced that it has entered into a partnership with Microgaming, the leading software provider to the online gaming industry. This agreement will result in Microgaming Flash casino games being available to players at Virgin Casino through the Microgaming’s pioneering Quickfire software.

During the coming months a large variety of games from Microgaming’s portfolio of over 400 games will be available at Virgin Casino. The first game has already gone live. It is the popular online slot Thunderstruck. Thunderstruck is a five reel and nine payline video slot game. Despite being released many years ago it yet has some of the best graphics and audiovisual effects. Through boldly crafted symbols Thunderstruck brings to life the power of the Norse God Thor. Thor substitutes for other symbols, doubles payouts and offers a 10,000 coins fixed jackpot. His Rams offer 15 free spins at tripled payouts.

In order to celebrate the launch of this new game, Virgin Casino has offered a Thunderstruck Cash Back promotion this week. The promotion has started on June 21 and will run till June 25. Every day players can get cash back of 20% subject to an upper limit of £100 every day, which amounts up to £500 over the promotion period. All that players have to do is wager on Thunderstruck. Given the quality of the game this is a simple task. But to make it even easier Virgin Casino will allow players to wager on the other popular online slots for the purposes of winning the cash back. There is a list of exclusions that can be viewed at the promotions page at the Virgin Casino web site. The cash back will be calculated on the net loss made on a given day for wagers on the designated slot games and will be paid out the next day. The cash back can be fully withdrawn.

This tie up with Microgaming is consistent with Virgin Casino’s strategy of offering a wide range of games content to its players. Though the basic software is from WagerWorks, Virgin Casino offers online casino games from Cryptologic, Fremantle and Ash Gaming. Elaborating on this strategy Simon Burridge, CEO of Virgin Casino said, “Our customers have told us that they want a wider range of games and specifically they would love to play Microgaming games as a part of the Virgin Games offering. The addition of Microgaming, the world leader in its field, is a big step forward for Virgin Games customers and we look forward to launching its games with a range of promotions over the coming months.”

Anonymous Free Play from Sloto’ Cash

Players who want to wager with real money at online casinos have to complete considerable formalities that include registration and identity verification before they can actually start wagering. But players who want to play for free also have to register an account with the casino and have to log in every time they want to play. This becomes quite an inconvenience if the player just wants to check out the rules or suitability of a game. In order to overcome this problem Sloto’ Cash online casino has introduced a new concept called Anonymous Free Play.

Sloto’ Cash online casino describes Anonymous Free Play as “a new and exciting feature … that allows website visitors to play Casino games without having to download, register or log in.” A link format has been provided and when players enter that in their browser they should be able to access the selected game. The player has to enter two pieces of information in the given format. One is his affiliate identity number. This indicates that the Anonymous Free Play feature is as yet available only to members of Sloto’ Cash Affiliates and not to normal players. The other information that has to be entered in the link format is the game identity code. This can be obtained either from the no download casino software or by sending a message to the affiliates e-mail address. Another important cautionary aspect of the Anonymous Play Feature is that it is available only for a limited time. After some time the software will ask the player to register or log in. The exact time given has not been mentioned but it should allow the player to make simple checks.

A few months ago Sloto’ Cash online casino had introduced Lucky Numbers column, in which numerology expert Leah Gray wrote about numbers and luck and their relevance to gambling. This column has become very popular at Sloto’ Cash online casino. In her latest article Gray debunks the myth that many gamblers carry that 13 is an unlucky number. In numerology there is nothing to indicate that the number 13 is unlucky. In fact in many countries and cultures the number 13 features in national flags and similar icons. Gray cites the example of the Great Seal of the United States. On the Great Seal’s face there are 13 stripes on the shield, 13 stars in circle of glory, 13 berries and 13 branches in the olive branch held by the eagle’s great talon and 13 arrows in the eagle’s other talon. The association of bad luck with the number 13 started with the thirteen persons being present in the Last Supper.

Sloto’ Cash online casino is powered by Rival Gaming and licensed by the Curacao Gaming Authority.
