Virgin Casino Teams with Cryptologic

September 29, 2009

Players at Virgin Online Casino will soon find new games in their midst with Cryptologic software.  Cryptologic announced their merger with Virgin Online Casino in Dublin.  Virgin Games is part of the Virgin Group.  Virgin began as a small company with a new entrepreneur in the lead. This man and his partners have managed to create an extremely popular company, not only as a record company but also as a mobile phone company, internet provider and now online casino gaming community.  Making this deal with Virgin Games has definitely put weight behind Cryptologic.  Cryptologic announced early this year that they would work very hard and diligently to expand their company.

With this new agreement it seems like their plan is working.  Cryptologic will offer a minimum of 10 branded and non branded games to Virgin Games.  They will of course all be slot games.  The branded games will include some of the Marvel Comics superheroes that Cryptologic owns.  The other games will be part of the innovative Casual Series.  The company is expected to offer their flagship progressive jackpot games too.  The jackpot for this progressive game has already paid out $4 million and is one of the top online casino slot games available.

Bejeweled is already live at Virgin Games Online Casino.  Bejeweled since its inception has been an extremely popular game with simple rules.  Players swap out the gems, making a row of five of the same coloured gems to get the jewels to lead to more.  It is possible to play the game and earn many bonuses before running out of moves if a player is skilled enough.

More games will be arriving at the casino later this year and early in 2010.  Cryptologic is going to use the Gaming Technology Solutions edge platform.  Cryptologic made a deal with GTS earlier.  As part of the deal with Virgin Games, Cryptologic will be earning a part of the bets players wager.  Both companies have expressed their happiness with the deal.  Brian Hadfield, CEO of Cryptologic, stated that Virgin is just another example of their strategy to build long term growth.  They are already looking for new licenses with other casinos to continue this growth spurt.  Virgin Games CEO stated that the deal is a win- win situation.  Cryptologic has the reputation; they are the company that delivers what they promise.  Virgin Games opened in 2004 and has also competed to be the best.
