As if trains, planes, mobiles, holidays and satellite TV wasn’t enough for Mr Branson, he only fancies a bit of bingo as well doesn’t he. The familiar Virgin red adorns the website and as you would expect from such a brand, it all looks very smart and sleek. The actual bingo is powered by Parlay Entertainment, who claimed to have invented online bingo.

Virgin offer a decent variety of games with 90 ball, 90 ball speed, 75 ball pattern and 80 ball. As well as these, there are many other mini games to complement the bingo.  There’s video poker which combines slots and poker, 5-reel and 3-reel bingo slots, and the simple lottery-style game Keno. Altogether, there are 67 different slot games including every gamers favourite, Call of Duty 4.

If you are a virgin to bingo, Virgin offer you a 100% first deposit bonus of up to £100. This means that if you put £100 in to your account as your first deposit , they’ll match it and give you another £100. I’ve rarely seen as big an off to someone to lose their virginity, unless of course I believe the authenticity of the claims of Bang bros.

Something a bit different that has been offered is a celebrity chat. Such luminaries as Kinga off Big Brother, yes her with the bottle, Jon Tickle off Brainiac and Nicki Grahame who, as far as I’m concerned, is as famous as me. Some actually decent names have appeared with Peter Andre, Paul Danials (with Debbie McGee of course) and Russell Grant (twice!). Sadly, a celeb chat has not been organised since February 2008 but hopes are still high that Brad Pitt will be able to make the event soon.

Another promotion is that of the Joker Jackpot. Cards from a full deck including 2 joker cards (54 cards) are called out randomly. The cards called are marked on the hands you have bought. There are two prizes to win, J pattern and Full House. The player who marks off the J pattern on all of their cards first wins the J pattern prize. The player who is the first to get a Full House on all nine cards on their hand wins the Full House prize. Simple as that.

Virgin are a respected worldwide brand and their forray into the wide of online bingo is not a disappointment. It may not get as many customers as some of its other products but Virgin bingo is a solid site.
