Virgin Casino Now Available on a Mobile

2011-12-12T03:10:00.000-08:00

Virgin Games, the leading online gaming company, has today launched a brand new offering for its players, the Virgin Casino Mobile. The mobile site will now allow members to experience the entertainment they get from Virgin Casino while they are on the move.

Virgin Games worked with leading mobile marketing agency, Somo, to develop the mobile offering using Virgin Games technology. The mobile product is integrated into the Company’s bespoke built gaming platform and will be developed into a multi-content proposition with games from a range of content partners.

The mobile product has been developed as a web application, allowing it to be instantly available to players without the need for App Store approval. Virgin Games has attached its single wallet system to the new mobile product, meaning its members use the same account to play at Virgin Casino, Virgin Bingo, Virgin Poker and now mobile casino. Players can register, manage their account, play for bonuses, deposit and withdraw seamlessly, whether they are on the web or on the move.

At launch, the mobile site will initially offer Microgaming’s mobile games content, including Thunderstruck and Tomb Raider slots, through the game developer’s Quick Fire integration process. However, Virgin Games plans to launch additional content suppliers into its mobile casino in a similar fashion to its internet offering, which provides a variety of games from a number of developers.

Simon Burridge, CEO of Virgin Games, commented: “With Smartphone penetration now exceeding 40% in the UK, players want and expect to be able to do on their phone what they do on their PC. With the launch of Virgin Casino Mobile we’re simply responding to this demand.

“While the gaming industry has been on the cusp of a mobile revolution for some time, 2011 has really been the year when the planets have aligned to make mobile gaming a more attractive proposition. For us we see it as the right time in the Company’s life, the industry’s life and the technology is ready. It’s important for us as a company to follow the Virgin philosophy of being a customer-centric brand. We put players at the heart of what we do and the mobile launch is yet another example of this. We can’t afford not to do this – it’s what our players want and it’s where the online gaming industry is heading.”

Roger Raatgever, CEO of Microgaming, said: "We are very happy to continue expanding our strong share in the mobile market by providing Virgin Games with our suite of mobile content through QuickFire. In the past, we have seen joint success with our QuickFire partnership with Virgin Games so we are confident that together we can seize all the opportunities the mobile gaming market currently presents to providers. Microgaming has the strongest portfolio of Flash assets in the industry and our slick, user friendly content is sure to be a big hit with Virgin Games’s fans.”

Virgin Casino Launches First Ever TV Advert

2010-10-28T05:24:00.000-07:00

Virgin Casino has introduced its first ever TV advert campaign to the UK public. The advert seeks to bolster the position of Virgin Casino as the place that features amazing online slot games by promoting the stellar collection of slot machines that Virgin Casino currently offers, and the fact that it launches at least one brand new slot game each and every week.

The TV advert that lasts for a brief 20 seconds and is part of a half a million pound advertising campaign, uses a space theme to get new viewers to the fascinating world of Virgin Casino and features super popular online slot games such as Cleopatra, Da Vinci Diamonds and Monopoly Multiplier.

Oliver Wilson, Casino Acquisition Manager, said: “We had such a fantastic response from our first Virgin Bingo ad launched last year that we decided that this was the right way to go for Virgin Casino. Bingo received a huge increase in player registrations on the back of the first adverts aired late last year and this evidence suggests it makes absolute sense for TV to play a significant part in Casino’s marketing campaign.

“TV advertising is a new strategy for Virgin Casino and we believe a natural fit. Consumers like the familiarity and security of knowing they are playing with a trusted and reputable company. Being part of the Virgin brand helps this, while TV raises awareness of our existence and helps to reinforce that trust and brand awareness.”

The advert will hit TV screens on Monday November 1st, and prior to a national heavyweight TV rollout will run for two weeks during a direct response TV test campaign that will cover ITV in the Midlands, and ITV and Channel 4 in the South East.

The TV campaign will also get support by a variety of direct response activities including PPC and Display Media.

Online Casinos take a page from Online Bingo Rooms

2010-04-01T01:53:00.000-07:00

The explosion of the online bingo industry and more particularly the one happening in the UK market had a number of online casinos looking to see what caused this eruption. It didn’t take long for casinos to unearth that the cause behind it all was the constant bombardment, that potential bingo players were exposed to, of the free no deposit bingo bonus. What did that mean? It meant that players could open an account with any bingo site and play online bingo without having to make a deposit. This became an overpowering proposition considering that any winnings could be withdrawn straight away.

After that, you didn’t need to be a nuclear scientist to see online casinos employing the exact same strategy to lure as many prospective online casino players as possible to their respective casino establishments. In the online casino industry the competition is so ferocious that saw the free no deposit casino bonuses reach some crazy heights. William Hill Casino is currently offering the highest free no deposit bonus which stands at a massive £60. That is £60 free money to play online casino games with and stand the chance of winnings some monstrous progressive jackpot games.

You are probably wondering for how long will both online bingo and online casinos continue with this strategy. Well, the answer to that question is very simple. As long as it works, they will keep it up. I mean if it’s not broken, why fix it.

Online bingo – more than just a girl’s world?

2010-03-31T00:56:00.000-07:00

The world of online bingo has recently undergone a bit of a makeover. Unlike other sectors of the industry that have found their profit lines hit as the financial crisis continues to bite, online bingo continues it’s massive period of growth, with experts predicting the industry will top the $1.2 billion dollar mark by the end of 2010. With more eyes turning to the world of online bingo, it appears that what was once the dominion of your grandma is now becoming big news for an increasingly wide group of fans, including men. So is it fair to say that online bingo really is just for girls?
Women have often been the traditional players of the game, and many have credited online bingo with widening the age range of bingo players. According to a Mintel report, around 20% of all players of online bingo are from the 18-24 age bracket, with nearly two thirds of all online bingo players between 18-45 years old. It seems like in the world of online bingo, grandma isn’t getting much of a look in.

But lines are becoming blurred. The shift to a bigger bingo world has meant a big period of consolidation. Many huge gaming networks are including bingo in their portfolios, as they begin to wise up to the profitability of the game. As this happens, there has been more of a crossover between men taking up online bingo – and women switching to casino and poker based activities. According to a recent report by Comscore, women are now making a power play for the gaming market, with the audience split now fairly even at 43%. The launch of sites such as Foxy Flutter show the desire for operators to convert their female fans to other forms and it seems to be working, with evidence to suggest women are ditching their dabbers for roulette wheels.

And guys seem to be discovering bingo is not just a girls’ thing. CEO of online bingo giant Cashcade, Simon Collins, commented on the crossover potential, saying “Guys like the community and the opportunity to chat to people. A lot of the things bingo has to offer (also) appeal to men”. Cashcade run many popular online bingo sites such as Foxy Bingo, Think Bingo and Cheeky Bingo and were recently acquired by US gaming giant PartyGaming, owner of a diverse range of sites that include poker and casino style games. With a 30% base of men, it is important for a site like Foxy Bingo to accommodate its new players – without alienating the old ones.

So how is this being done? Well, there seems to have been an influx of side games and free bingo no deposit and new bingo sites, providing more than just the traditional eyes down action. Online bingo jackpots continue to grow, perhaps in a nod towards the tradition amongst men for “higher stakes” gambling. And it’s been interesting to see the amount of site redesigns over the last year, with many opting to shift away from the pinks and purples that once dominated bingo to slightly more neutral palates.

So whilst online bingo will always be a favourite amongst the ladies, it seems that the future will hold a much more varied demographic, something which will only help the online bingo industry to keep on growing.

Online bingo and casinos – a match made in heaven?

2010-03-30T04:36:00.000-07:00

A few years ago, the relationship between online bingo and the world of online casinos and poker could be described as non-existent. Although there were some gaming companies with interests in bingo, both had their own group of operators, software providers, and indeed, their own sets of players. Whilst there were exceptions to the trend, these were few and far between, with casino’s the domain of men and online bingo finding it’s roots in a fiercely female fanbase. But the two worlds have seemingly collided over the last year or so, with an increasing array of crossover. And now that the worlds of online bingo and casino have met, is this a partnership that is destined for greatness – or disaster?

Perhaps the most obvious example of the convergence between the two has been the sharp increase in mergers between gaming brands and online bingo operators. First came the move by established bookmaking brands such as Ladbrokes to enter the world of online bingo by introducing spin offs of their brand. PartyGaming was a notable success, with the introduction of Party Bingo to complement it’s Party Poker and Party Casino brands.

And then came the mergers and takeovers. In the last year, the very same PartyGaming acquired British bingo giant Cashcade (owner of brands such as Foxy Bingo, Cheeky Bingo and Think Bingo) and US rival 888 Holdings took the reins of two of the other top UK online bingo sites, Wink Bingo and Posh Bingo. Since then we have seen further acquisitions, blurring the distinct lines between operators, software suppliers and indeed between the various sectors of the gambling market.

So what can be said of these alliances? Well, not only do the players acquired boost the total earnings of the companies involved, there is also much to be said of the crossover potential. Recent research found that female bingo players have become more likely to try their hand at roulette style games, with the recently launched Foxy Flutter an ideal example of how online bingo brands are translated into the other reaches of the gambling world. A casino style site boasting roulette wheels and slot games, it’s branding fits perfectly with a female audience, and thus helping to convert some bingo fans into general fans of gaming.

At the same time, online bingo sites have increased the side games on offer, adding huge jackpots that begin to add an element of “high stakes” into the world of bingo. Recent wins at Costa Bingo have extended up to £71,000 – a figure not often seen from a game of bingo itself. These new additions to sites have not only helped to diversify the interests of the female audience, but have been a huge factor in growing bingo sites amongst men.

And so it seems that with a more inclusive and cooperative gaming world, the partnership between online bingo and casino’s can only get stronger. For online bingo fans and poker and casino fans alike, the latest partnerships look set to be the start of one beautiful long-term relationship!
