Virgin Casino is a fairly new online casino, launched in 2004. The casino features a really cool selection of slot games based on popular TV game shows. A few examples include Jeopardy, The Price is Right, and Wheel of Fortune. You'll also find games such as Monopoly and Baywatch Heatwave.

If you live in the U.S., unfortunately you're out of luck -- Virgin Casino doesn't accept U.S. players. However, you can play the games for free if you want.

In addition to a nice selection of slot machines, Virgin Casino has six blackjack games, four roulette games, six poker games, nine video poker games, and 16 additional games such as keno, bingo, and various "Hi-Lo" games. Overall, there are 56 games to choose from.

An exciting and unique offering at Virgin Casino is the High Flyer Club. As a member of the High Flyer Club, you earn reward points for every cash hand played. You can trade in your loyalty points directly for cash or for Virgin Atlantic Flying Club miles. Accrue enough points, and you can fly around the world to popular vacation spots such as Las Vegas and Sydney.

Finally when you sign up for a real account, Virgin Casino will sweeten the deal with a 100% signup bonus, up to £50. Simply Deposit £50, get £50 free.

+ A well designed and fresh looking site with plenty of games available. Nice sign-up bonus and no software to download.

- We have searched high and low for the pay out rates (rakes) but with no success. Apart from having fun playing the games, surely every customer would want to know the chances of winning.

Verdict - A very good site and typical of the Virgin Branding. However as a gambler I would be slightly concerned with no statement of the % pay-outs, even though they do guarantee the games are fair. Back to top

www.32Red.com

32Red Casino is a relatively new casino to the market. It has refreshing graphics and style and offers a huge range of games including Baccarat, Blackjack, Craps, Cyberstud and much, much more, with a 24-7 online support on offer.

The software makes the game play slick and for an extra touch of glamour, UK actress Patsy Kensit provides the voice of the dealer. The Casino is professionally administrated and the customer service is in-house which allows for personal relationships with players.

I'm told the casino payouts are the fastest online, and managed by Barclaycard. Additionally, the independent auditors PriceWaterhouseCoopers stated that the average payout and random number generators for all games is 97.6%

+ Very Stylish Graphics which makes you feel like you are in a real casino. Personal Customer Service, high percentage pay outs and a £50 Deposit Bonus are all good extras for using the site

- Relatively new company and lack the backing from big institutional backers.

Verdict - 32Red is a well thought-out casino with download and flash options, stylish atmosphere and openness on all fronts. The only downside that we could find is quite simply that it is a new operation without big-company backing (albeit that the people involved have plenty of experience). If they can keep their financials together and stay around for a few years, this casino should be destined for the top. Back to top

Victor Chandler is a very established name in betting worldwide. It has a long-standing reputation for integrity and reliability, and this casino site takes those qualities forward into the world of gaming.

As VC Casino you can play for real or for fun, which is good for beginners wanting to learn the games before playing for real. In fact the VC casino also offers "how to play" guides on all the games that you can play.

+ You will notice how elegantly simple everything. Graphics and sound are realistic and enjoyable and there is no software to download.

- If I had to make a negative point, then it would be the low signing up bonuses. There are many casinos out there, such as WPT Online that offers more attractive signing on bonuses.

Verdict - Overall it's a fantastic and easy to navigate site. Thumbs up from FindFreeBets.com! Back to top

+ A very popular site. It's quick and slick and offers a very decent introductory offer.

Verdict - A great all round established site. There are casinos with better graphics but the quick, smooth play of all the games is a major selling point. Back to top

If you are going to go large and reputable, you will not get much larger or more reputable than Ladbrokes. Ladbrokes International is located in Gibraltar, their casino licence is issued by the Government of Gibraltar. Now that Ladbrokes Casino has moved its original casino to the new Microgaming Viper platform, they have increased the variety of casino games to more than a whopping 110. This is a good move for this flagship British Company as their last offering was stale in comparison. The site has had a much needed overhaul, which reflects the Ladbrokes brand more favourably.

From the popular table games to huge progressive jackpots the new casino product presents plenty of choice to potential players. The casino is available in both download and flash formats. There are now games rules on the new site, a must in our opinion, and the reliable and informative Playcheck is also a big plus

If you decide to become a new Ladbrokes Casino Player you can currently get a 100% match bonus on your first deposit worth up to £100 free! Existing players receive between £25 and £50 worth of FREE chips every month.

Average Payout for all games in September 2006 was 96.74%, which was audited by PriceWaterhouseCoopers, so you can be reassured of fair play.

+ A massive 110 games available to play with no need to download software. The £100 match up on the first deposit is well worth signing up.

- The layout and graphics are not the best I have ever seen and you might need glasses to easy read the text on the screen (or it might just be my bad eyesight).

Verdict - A very large reputable company with a huge amount of games to play. With the attractive bonus Ladbrokes Casino should keep you entertained for weeks. Back to top
