With a brand like Virgin behind it Virgin Casino already comes with more than a whiff of respectability about it, but as it's not a brand synonymous with gambling entertainment does this online casino deliver the kind of slots' fun we'd recommend? Well, we'll come to that in a moment, but we always like to dig under an online casino's virtual gaming floor to satisfy ourselves that the foundations are solid... and indeed these are. Run under a gaming licence from the extremely rigorous Alderney Gambling Control Commission, Virgin Casino players can expect the highest standards of honesty and propriety, and its banking facilities are also run using state-of-the-art encryption to keep your bankroll (and hopefully winnings) safe and sound.

So what about the fun stuff? Well, the main engine room of Virgin Casino's games is the superb suite of Wagerworks Instant Play games. Playable on pretty much any relatively modern computer that can surf the Internet (basically if you're reading this page, there's a 99.9% chance you're good to go!), this software has been delivering the gaming goods at this online casino since it opened in 2005 and its clearly found favour with a large community of players judging by the success of Virgin's club. However for online slots players there's an extra twist to Virgin Casino's offering that really hits the spot - Virgin have also laid on a selection of hit slot games from some of Wagerworks rivals! To spell this out, not only can you play Wagerworks massively popular Wolf Run and Cleopatra slot at Virgin Casino, but also the likes of Cryptologic's Call of Duty 4 and Microgaming's Tomb Raider slots. This canny move means we doubt you'll be in any disappointed with the slot selection here, which covers all the bases from classic three-reel casino slots to the most feature-laden multi-line video slots boasting eye-watering progressive jackpots.

For those moments then a little alternative fun to spinning reels is required, Virgin Casino also has a fantastic selection of other attractions to try your luck with, with some novel variations on classic table games, such as its 3 Wheel Roulette, adding additional verve to the usual staples such as Craps, Blackjack and (of course) traditional European-style Roulette. One final point to note about Virgin Casino's games is that many are available in a free-play demo mode, so if you like to 'try-before-you-buy' you can help yourself to plenty of gratis gaming and (especially) free slots action here.

Customer service is something that should not be overlooked when choosing an online casino, and Virgin keeps up very high standards here too. Freephone, live chat and email support is available around-the-clock, plus a less-usual call back service that proved to be very efficient, with a customer service agent ringing us very promptly at the requested time on the requested number. A nice touch, especially if you're logged on at work for a bit of sneaky slots fun when you need a bit of support without getting busted by the boss!

Virgin Casino ticks all the boxes for us, and we think it will for you too. Whether you're new to online slots or are looking for a new site to try your luck this online casino should definitely be on your shortlist to check out.
