Much like the concept of you get what you pay for, the same applies to the world of the online casino, so to get the top online casinos, you might as well stick to the big brand names. Unfortunately US players don’t have much choice, but there are a number of Real Time Gaming sites which will cater for them, but for UK and many other international players, the world of the online casino, is quite literally, your oyster.
Over the many years I have been writing about top online casinos, it is natural to have formed a few favorites. This used to be most Microgaming sites, but like all tastes change, I have really come to enjoy Net Entertainment software. It’s is all a matter of taste really, but there are some fabulous sites for UK players and to be honest, although my personal preference is Victor Chandler, if you are looking for all the top games and the widest game variety, you can’t go wrong with Virgin Games.
They are Big Brand, they are above-board, completely fair; promotions are good, if not the best, but when you weigh up what is lacking in promotions against benefits; they are one of THE top online casinos offering the best benefits on the net; this is because of V*Points. In any case, if you are an online casino virgin – this suite of sites could not be more apt?!
Firstly in terms of the games – Virgin partners with developers and designers: Virtue Fusion, Endemol, WagerWorks, Microgaming, PartyGaming, Cryptologic, Freemantle, NextGen, DynamiteIdea, AshGaming and there could be even more. This means they get to cherry pick the games they offer and you can cherry pick yours too. New games are on offer once a week, sometimes more regularly, and the suite of sites consists of Virgin Bingo, Virgin Casino and Virgin Poker. Play on one or all three sites and your V*Points are pooled from all play.
As just one example of what your V*Points can buy! Say you have saved 1250 V*Points and you want to spend the weekend in Paris. So, you decide to cash your points earnings in with your winnings withdrawal, which will give you another £12.50 in spending money. Don’t do this… with V*Points, you can trade this amount of points for flights on the weekend to many major European Cities.
So, you don’t want to go to Paris, you want to go to Barcelona or Venice, consider it done! What about New York? Yes, you can get there too; trade your V*Points for Virgin Atlantic Flying miles; they will trade you one for one, and you can save up to fly to New York. This will cost 45 000 miles, so its 45 000 V*Points too. Virgin as a company has every finger in a lot of hot pies, and V*Points will earn discounts on some very saucy specials and hot deals. It is absolutely the best!
