lol, I had £40 in my account, and by the time my miles got credited I had just over £100.

Just mucking about on it, and have just won a further £750 on a single hand!!

Am very happy indeed, and have now withdrawn all the profit!! :):)

My points appeared last night (in my Virgin Atlantic Flying Club area rather than on the Virgin games site - wasn't sure initially which one they'd go to) :)
Took around 7 days for mine to appear.

Did managed to increase my winnings from the remaining £9.25 to nearly £20 playing some Monopoly slot......pretty much given up on Blackjack due to the amazing ability of the dealer to get exactly what is needed 99.9% of the time.

I had the same problems on my Macs. It seems the Flash icon at the bottom right of the page won't load, so you can only play the first game on the list. Probably for the best, otherwise I'd end up losing it all on Blackjack or Table Poker!

I'm quite fond of playing 5p lines on the Monopoly slots....started off with £11.25 in the bank and cashed out a few minutes ago with £25. Thought I would have another few goes, and doubled my bet to 10p a line for a couple of goes and now have £41 :) Quite happy with that, though I'm sure it will be all gone by tomorrow knowing me.
Too scared to bet big as you end up wasting loads in a few seconds, although that's the only way to win anything major.....

Managed to end up just over £70 up last night playing a combination of Monopoly and Cludeo slots, mainly 5p bets :) Got a 1288 win which added quite a bit to my total :)

Have noticed that the more I bet per line, the less likely any winning lines seem to be. Could be pure coincidence though.

I must admit to being something of a cynic, but presumably there must be very tight rules and regulations for online gaming.

I was taken to a casino for the first time a couple of months ago and there are people whose job is just to monitor the tables. I guess they are watching the players as much as the dealers, however it was both intimidating and reassuring.

Of course occasionally a card such as a 9 is needed by the dealer when playing blackjack and sometimes it will come up. However I wouldn't be at all suspicious if that happened 'in real life'. If only they gave 10,000 miles!

It does seem that you don't get 'your money's worth' out of online Blackjack. Having recently come back from Vegas Ð where I managed to make $20 last five hours (with free drinks thrown in!) Ð it simply doesn't compare.

Sadly enough, the online casinos have it pretty much like a "real life" table - I can't count the number of times that a dealer gets dealt 12 and hits a 9, dealt 14 - hits a 7, etc.... On the other side of the table, whenever I get dealt a 12, more often than not I get a 10...*sigh*

Then it's a good job I've managed to avoid blackjack for most of life so far!

Interesting development on my casino account......

I used the refer a friend to introduce my wife. Everything OK, she got credited her £25, I got credited my £25....then she got credited her £25 [:0]!!!!!!!

My family said 'forget it, it's their mistake', but guilt/honesty got the better of me. So I emailed them and have just had a reply along the lines of 'yes it's a mistake, but it would be unfair of us to take it back'. Fair play to them

It's back to red on the roulette, the short road to 10,000 miles for my wife and hopefully a small profit.

Hmmmm... My Virgin Casino account doesn't seem to remember that I've wagered more than £100 (which is a condition for receiving the 10k miles). I've emailed the customer support team about this Ð has anyone had a similar problem?

Wow Ð that was quick Ð they replied in about an hour!

It seems that the system is 'slow' at updating records. Nice to know they're on the ball with customer services response, though. :)

To be fair, those hands only seem to appear when you're on a losing streak - when the cards start turning, everyone forgets about the dealer's 16 + 5 hands ;):D

Exactly. Someone has also pointed out another worry with this strategy on ft, if this promo is similar to the bonus cash one:


You should note the following will exclude you from the promo:

Multi Player Poker hands are excluded from this promotion and will not be included in the calculation of total stake.

Bets on all games in the Virgin casino count towards this promotion however any play considered a 'Non Lose' wager (such as betting on both red and black in Roulette) will result in disqualification from the promotion.
