03/01/12 07:09
Virgin Games is one of the UK’s most popular online gaming networks and now, with the launch of its mobile casino software, it’s looking to catch on in an even bigger way. The new Virgin Mobile Games has just been released and gives players the ability to enjoy some of their favourite casino games while on the go.
The app, VirginGames.com/Mobile-Games (or Virgin Mobile Games for brevity’s sake), was developed in a partnership between Somo, a mobile marketing agency, and Virgin itself. The mobile software translates much of what already exists on Virgin’s web-based casino and seeks to offer a similar experience through smartphone operating systems. Aside from a suite of great Virgin games, the company has also announced that it has forged partnerships with other developers — including titles by Microgaming — in order to bring even more content to the platform over time. Virgin Mobile Games is a web application, compatible with most smartphones and already features games like the popular Tomb Raider and Thunderstruck slots.
Virgin Games’ Chief Executive Officer, Simon Burridge, explained that “smartphone penetration now [exceeds] 40 percent in the UK” and that “[Virgin] is simply responding to this demand.” Burridge went on to state his company’s position, describing how the launch is occurring at “the right time in the company’s life, the industry’s life and [that] the technology is ready. It’s what our customers want and it’s where the online gaming industry is heading.”

Sky Vegas Unveils New Sky Millions Slot
05/11/11 11:41
Sky Vegas, one of the industry’s most popular online casinos, has just released its newest slot game with Sky Millions. The nine-payline, progressive jackpot slot allows Sky players to try their luck at becoming millionaires by wagering amounts as low as ten pence.
Sky Millions, now available at Sky Vegas, was created by software developer, Cryptologic Limited, and features nine paylines, bonus rounds and a progressive jackpot. The slot has been designed by Sky and Cryptologic with big cash awards firmly in mind and looks to provide enormous winnings to the virtual casino’s players in a similar fashion to its Millionaires Club. Sky Millions features expensive items on its reels (including diamond ring, fancy car and boat symbols) and is staked from 10p/line and up. Players are able to bet on any number of lines and view the potential payout they’re eligible for by visiting an on-screen information menu. Bonus rounds are triggered by three scatter symbols appearing on reel one, three or five. The extra round then displays three spinning wheels that multiply a staked bet. The multiplier is listed on each wheel alongside arrow signs that advance the player inward — once all three arrows are hit the bonus round is over.
Many are likely to be excited about taking Sky Millions for a spin, especially considering just how successful Millionaires Club has been in the past, creating two millionaires in a bit less than two years of operation. To help promote the launch of Sky Millions, Sky Vegas is currently offering a bonus sign-up offer (worth £5) for use with the new slot.

30/10/11 15:20
As shown in 888 Holdings’ new total payout record, there’s good reason for the immense popularity of the company’s network of online poker, casino and sportbooking services. 888, demonstrating just how much it’s been able to pay out to its members, has just announced record-breaking cash prize figures awarded to its players throughout September.

With such a large amount of cash being paid out now looks like a good time to register an account at any of the 888 websites. 888.com’s Senior Vice-President, Itai Pazner, told press that the company considered their $356 million month a demonstration of “the real life-changing potential of 888.com’s games” and congratulated “all [888’s] September winners on their good fortune.”

Virgin Games Study Promotes Social Benefits of Bingo
12/05/11 08:53
Virgin Games, owner of the influential company’s bingo and casino networks, has recently announced the results of a landmark study into the personal benefits made possible by online play. The end result of Virgin’s exhaustive research is great news for devoted bingo players as it reinforces the positive influence that the game can have on an individual’s social life.
The study from Virgin Games was conducted through a number of polls that served to measure the playing habits and social interactions of bingo fans. One of these polls looked at the number of players who had made what they considered to be genuine friendships and found that 44 of the 647 person sample group said they had — with 18 percent of the same group saying that had met with their new friends in person. 22 percent of the group told Virgin Games’ researchers that they were comfortable enough with their online bingo friends that they would discuss their personal and family problems with them while 34 percent also stated that they believed that playing internet bingo had improved their social life.
Aside from the interpersonal benefits of playing bingo, Virgin Games also cited interesting data on the replacement of brick and mortar bingo halls by online play. 69 percent of Virgin’s sample group told researchers that internet bingo had completely replaced visiting land-based venues, something that is hardly surprising given the downfall of the game’s physical market.

The free games come complete with a multiplier that increases with every other spin, promising great cash rewards during bonus play. Most exciting of the new video slot’s features is the introduction of fixed paylines (that keep all 25 lines active throughout play) and the Iron Man Reactor, an extra wild symbol that appears in all free games.

It was won by a site member playing under the handle ‘Fredrik J’, a player that registered to the site roughly five years ago. Fredrik J sat down to play a game like any other but, after lining up five reels of diamond mountain icons, realized he had won a huge prize. The player told Bet365.com that upon realizing that he had won the progressive jackpot he began to run around his apartment in excitement. Fredrik J said that he and his girlfriend are currently planning to purchase a house using the unexpected cash won through the slots.
Even though the Diamond Valley progressive jackpot has been won there are still many other fantastic prizes to be tried for at Bet365.com. The site currently hosts a little more than 150 casino games and, of these, many are progressive jackpots. In the past Bet365 players have won amounts of $1.55 million (at the Gold Rally slots) and £101,705 (at the Wall Street Fever slots).

Ladbrokes Casino Provides Special Offer
In celebration of the launch of a brand new television advertisement the immensely popular UK gaming site, Ladbrokes Casino, has decided to share a bit of the excitement with potential members through a special introductory promotion.The offer entails an entirely free £25 bonus to help brand new users to get a taste of the action at the virtual casino. There is no required deposit and the complementary money is automatically entered into new accounts as soon as the sign-up process is completed. Coupled with a fresh television advertisement promoting the site, Ladbrokes Casino seems to be aiming to pull in new visitors to take a spin on the network’s wide range of excellent games and services. The promotion also acts as a great way to provide incentive for existing members of Ladbrokes Poker or Bingo to sign up at the casino and branch out their gaming time at the sister site.
Ladbrokes Casino launched the special offer last Friday, April 17th and hasn’t announced plans for the end of its promotion as of yet, a sign that may mean the generous bonus will stick around for some time to come. With more and more online gaming options popping up as competition all the time, Ladbrokes may have hit on a great way to distinguish themselves from the rest of the pack with the special £25 offer.
