Virgin - Quite Impressive

**Simmo!** · 16th August 2006, 04:49 PM

I tested out Virgin casino (Wagerworks) this week. I played with a debit card, cashed out about £300 on Monday afternoon and it was in my (UK) bank account this morning Wednesday

I thought Wagerworks had a 12 hour reverse? But the money was not available to reverse after I withdrew. Excellent

haven't tested the Neteller option yet though...!

Gotta say the Wagerworks software is a mixed bag. They seem to have cleared up the disconnection errors, but some of the games are weird. The paylines of some of the slots are just plain odd!! When you're used to MG, it can be frustrating when you think you landed a win to find the line layout is so totally weird. Lol. Cluedo got my vote for best game I tried.

Interesting experience though.

Actually I was thinking about this. It's weird, or perhaps it isn't, but all the experiences I've had at what I'd term "high street brand" casinos have been good. Leaving William Hill's out of that for now beacuse of their total lack of interest in support.

But mainly this is because they pay out so quick. Just recently I've played Ladbrokes, Virgin, Tote and Littlewoods and all have paid me within 2 days by bank wire. No messing around, no ID, no reverse withdrawal period...just exactly like you want it to be. And you always hear good things about Harrods and Ritz.

Maybe this is why 32Red gets a lot of attention - with management coming from a Ladbrokes background? Maybe there's something in this. I guess there are some logistic reasons: for example most of the Big names do not accept US punters, most have proprietary banking systems and most have sportsbook experience...perhaps these are necessary to provide this type of cashout service?

But whatever, for me, speedy, reliable, hassle-free cashouts are one of the major factors - correction, probably THE major factor - in deciding where I stay to play.

Anyway...just thinking aloud.

Shameless plug

Seriously, I have hope for Wager Works software - hoping that they will incorporate the "Leading Edge" Multi Strike video poker since IGT has bought up Wagerworks.

I could always ask

That would be awesome! I just wrote earlier to them suggesting they need more video pokers and some "free spins" slots. With Multi-Strike and a "Thunderstruck" alternative, they could seriously get some votes

I love that WW publish the expected returns on all games in the paytables too. Class move.

Thanks for the posts, always good to see positive feedback.

Just so you know Virgin Casino will be putting 7 new Video Poker games live on w/c 20th August. Several of you mentioned the fact that we were light on our selection of VP so we�ve increased our selection of Video Poker games to 9 and will be working with Wager Works on developing new variations. I'll let you know if we make any progress on Multi Stike!

If you�re interested in Slots there�s a new Pyramid Slot going live in August and there are some great new games coming in the next few months like Cleopatra, a new version of Wheel of Fortune and a new version of Monopoly.

The bonus rounds on future slots will feature both stake bonuses and free spin bonuses as well as a combination of the two.

Have a good weekend.

Josh

You ain't kidding!
Look at this 'screenshot that sucks' that I just hit.
Heart in mouth - but won sweet FA!

(15 winlines - but that isn't one of 'em)

Wagerworks seem to be very up-and-coming IMO. When you look at the brand names that they have pulled onboard, you have to be impressed. It's still a long way off Microgaming's software if you ak me (no autoplay, smaller games choice, Flash only etc etc), but the Client list is very impressive

Just as an addendum, when I cashed out over £3k, i got asked for ID. I sent it off by email (digital photos of statement and passport) and had it verified within the hour and my cashout limit upped to £5k a day...at 8pm on a Saturday night
