The latest news from Virgin Casino is that the site is undergoing a makeover. The message reads, “Look out for the brand new Virgin Games site! We’re spicing things up with a Red Hot new look and loads of exciting new features for you to enjoy.” No date has been set, but Virgin Casino will start a countdown from the end of the month and is asking players to keep a lookout at the site. The changes follow the acquisition of Virgin Games by the Gamesys group for an undisclosed amount. Gamesys would keep the Virgin brand intact and give it a greater international base. The said makeover would involve changes on the present Virgin Casino platform so as to integrate it with Gamesys’ own proprietary technology.

As a part of the makeover Virgin Casino will be replacing ten progressive jackpot games. These are Adventures in Wonderland, Pharaoh’s Treasure, Leprechaun’s Luck, Chests of Plenty, Reel Gems, Madness, Sensible Soccer, Captain Cannons, Gin Joint Jackpot and Gold Rush Showdown. The funds from the progressive jackpots of these games, amounting to £750,000, will be returned to the players through a Slot Giveaway promotion. The first component of the promotion is the Weekly Prize Draw. The first week ran from January 4 to January 10. The second week is in progress and will end on January 17. The final week will run from January 18 to January 24. In each week Virgin Casino will give away £175,000 through lucky prize draws. For every £10 wagered on any slot game or jackpot game at Virgin Casino players will receive one ticket for the weekly draw. Each draw has three prize pools of different amounts. The prize pool that players will be entered into will depend on their VIP status at the online casino. The lowest level has a prize pool of £17,500 that will be shared by 500 winners. The next level has a prize pool of £70,000 that will be shared by 350 winners. The highest level has a prize pool of £87,500 that will be shared by only 100 winners.

The second component of the Slot Giveaway promotion is Everyone Wins. This promotion has a prize pool of £225,000 that will be shared by all eligible players. Players who wager £25 or more on any online slot or jackpot game between January 4 and January 24 will be eligible for a share. Each player will receive a percent of the £225,000 prize pool, in proportion of the total wagering. The promotions page of the Virgin Casino web site explains the mechanics of the calculations.
