Virgin Bingo
When we heard the Virgin was launching an online Bingo hall we almost couldn’t contain our excitement. They are a big name with a great reputation for only delivering the best. Well the only thing we can say is that things were not what we had expected. Virgin has raised the stakes however by delivering up a new offering with which to tempt us. We are cautiously excited to get to meet the new and improved, Virgin Bingo.
This new and improved version of Virgin’s online hall may have been at the urging of their not so silent partner, St. Minver. St. Minver is a Bingo giant in the virtual world and they power some of the most popular games out there today. Well when you get right down to it, the games in the St. Minver network are all the same, just accessed by different portals. As a player you have to love all that St. Minver has to offer. They bring with them their impeccable reputation for security and discretion as well as some very exciting jackpots. And when we say exciting, what we really mean is life changing. How does that sound?
It sounds good doesn’t it? Yeah we know it does, to you and every other player on that site. Having all those players can be a bit of a double edged sword. You want their financial input into the pot, but you’d rather they just leave the winning all to you. Even if you don’t win, the very affordable card prices will have you right back in the saddle.
Virgin Bingo is a great choice for the new player if for no other reason than the brand new customer information center. This area has been completely redone and is now extremely helpful. We like that the visual aspects of the page are still a reflection of the classy fun we expect from the Virgin brand. If you hate having to always install a bunch of new software then the non-downloading version offered here will be a dream come true. All this is great, but it doesn’t hold a candle to the first class 90-ball Bingo you are sure to find just ready and waiting for you.
Have you even signed into a chat room a found yourself met with nothing more than dead air. No, that doesn’t mean you smell, it means you’re on a site that no one likes but you. At Virgin Bingo no matter how many rooms we stuck our heads in we always found a party in progress. You are sure to find your own special favorite in no time, and the best part is that since your chat loads right into the main screen you will never miss a minute of the action. And if you like to partake in minigame fun you will find it conveniently located on the same screen right by your chat room. We highly recommend that you take part in the chat games as it is a great way to both meet some great new people and land some sweet bonuses.
When you decide to bite the virtual bullet and sign-up you will find that registration is really not that bad. The only bad part was waiting on our membership to process. That was one little time sucker that seemed to just go on and on. It would be a very nice upgrade if Virgin were to upload some type of progress bar or counter to give you an idea of a time frame.
One problem that seems to crop up again and again is the issue of Macs. This is an ever growing segment of the market that has been unintentionally banned from many halls due to technology. Mac users often find themselves in sub par games simply because they will support their system. Today we are happy to say that we have seen signs of good things to come. We were able to get the 90-ball Bingo up and running at Virgin Bingo. There were some hurdles as it took us a few minutes to figure out the trick. In order to run the Bingo on your Mac, you will need to have or install Internet Explorer. When we tried this browser rather than the default Safari browser we were up and running in no time. Some of the animation ended up looking like it didn’t know where it was supposed to be, but the game worked great.
While the Mac thing is great, we have to say just how impressed we were with the total presentation and improvement shown by Virgin at their hall. Every area we looked into showed great improvement over what we encountered in the past, most especially the customer information area. It would not be a mistake for you to pack your virtual bags and take a little Bingo vacation at Virgin Bingo. The jackpots are waiting. Are you ready to give one a good home?
