Score The Winning Goal, And A Wad Of Cash, With Virgin’s Goalie Giveaway

Soccer fever has taken over with the World Cup in full swing, and Virgin is getting in on the frenzy with a special promotion.

The Virgin Goalie Giveaway started Monday, June 18 and ends at 11:59 p.m. Thursday, June 21. If you opt in now, you could win a portion of the $2,500 prize draw.

How to get in on Virgin online casino’s Goalie Giveaway

The Goalie Giveaway doesn’t require anything of you other than to play at VirginCasino.com. Every time you wager at least $50 on your favorite NJ online casino game, you’ll earn an entry into the $2,500 bonus money prize draw.

You can earn up to five tickets per day, for a maximum total of 20 entries during the promotional period.

Then, on Friday, June 22, Virgin will draw 120 winners from the entries. Twenty lucky winners will get $50 in bonus cash. Fifty winners will be awarded $20 in bonus money, and another 50 winners will receive $10 in bonus money.

All awards will be credited to accounts within 24 hours of the draw.

Wagering requirements

Alas, as with all NJ online casinos, the bonus cash is not redeemable for cash. Virgin NJ online casino wants you to use that free money to play some of its online games.

Bonus money must be played online and expires after 30 days. Patrons need to wager once through bonus money on any games on the website, which basically means you can have your pick of games and maybe even win a little extra cash on the way. We suggest going for the games that have the highest return to player rate (RTP).

New games at Virgin online casino

Now, there are only a couple days left of this promotion, but that’s plenty of time to get some tickets and earn your spot in the prize draw. Not sure what to play over at Virgin online casino? No problem! Here are a few of the newest or exclusive games for you to try out:

Agatha Christie’s Mystery Wilds

The classic whodunit author, Agatha Christie, who brought us Hercule Poirot, Miss Marple and Tommy and Tuppence, now has her very own slot. The slot features the aforementioned characters as well as symbols associated with Christie: typewriter, manuscript, poison bottle and mousetrap. You’ll find Wilds, Stacked Symbols, Sticky Wilds, and a Free Spins bonus round.

This last feature starts off with five picks. Choose from the assortment of Agatha Christie books to lock in the number of spins and clues you will start with. You’ll add clues to the meter throughout your spin, and when the meter is full you will get a purple Sticky Wild that remains until your turn is complete. There are also Mystery Wilds, but you’ll just have to play to find out what they are!

Hotline

Open up this game and it cues a city scene and opening credits of a TV show, a la Miami Vice. You’re introduced to two detectives reminiscent of Crocket and Tubbs, and their jewel thief nemesis, a beautiful woman in a fast car sporting an ancient cell phone that most thirty-somethings wouldn’t even remember. This game features the typical Scatter — which awards seven Free Spins — as well as a Wild.

The real treat with this game is the Hotline Bonus Bet. Players automatically have the center line activated as a Hotline, meaning that should a Wild hit, it will become an Expanding Wild and will remain through as many re-spins that award a win. Additionally, you can add Hotlines by clicking on the symbol to the left of the first or third line.

Each time you do this it will increase your bet. Add one Hotline, and it doubles your bet; add two Hotlines and it will triple your bet. While this is costly, I’ve seen some fantastic wins that can make it worthwhile.

Monopoly Mega Movers

This game features lots of game pieces, including T Rex, penguin, duck, cat Scotty dog, battleship, race car, train, and top hat. Add to that Mr. Monopoly and a Wild, and you have a lot of symbols to try and match.

Wilds only appear on reels 2, 3 and 4, but occasionally they pop up as Directional Wilds. These special Wilds have one or more arrows, and the Wild will expand in that direction, increasing your chance to win. While there is no Free Spins bonus game, there is an Extra Bet Wheel feature, which will cost you 150 percent of your bet.

When this feature is activated, if you get 3, 4 or 5 backgrounds appearing on adjacent reels, you will be awarded a spin on the corresponding wheel. You can win an upgrade (spin of the next highest wheel), random Wilds, Free Spins or a Jackpot, of which there are five: Mini, Minor Major, Mega, and Grand.
