Virgin Casino have launched a brand new slot machine this week, and Beat the Casinos is one of the first websites to tell you about it! Prepare to weigh anchor and set sail for the greatest treasure quest ever in Captain Quid’s Treasure Chest! Fifteen bountiful paylines (with 1-5 credits bet on each) means fifteen opportunities to win up to 50,000 credits as you cruise the seven seas searching for loot in Captain Quid’s Treasure Quest.

Three or more Treasure Quest Bonus symbols, in any position, trigger the Treasure Quest Bonus. Dig for booty to earn up to 40 free spins and up to a 10x multiplier in the Free Spins Bonus round!

The Treasure Quest Bonus is started by getting three Treasure Quest Bonus symbols on the reels, in any position. The Treasure Quest Bonus allows you to build up the number of free spins and the size of the bonus multiplier that you will enjoy in the Free Spins Bonus.

Start off with a free spin count of two, a bonus multiplier of 1x and a pick count of five in the Treasure Quest Bonus. Begin the bonus by clicking any “X” on the first island on the map. An “X” may contain either a number of additional free spins, or a multiplier boost value. It may also contain an extra pick or an advance arrow that takes you to the next island on the map. Keep picking until you run out of picks or you reach the last island on the map. When you can pick no more, the map will reveal the remaining (non-opened) treasure chests.

After you finish picking, all treasure chests are revealed and you go to the Free Spins Bonus to play out the free spins you earned.

The paytable for free spins is the same as for the regular Capt. Quid’s Treasure Quest game (times the multiplier boost value) with one exception. Three or more Treasure Quest Scatter symbols on the reels awards you a scatter pay instead of triggering another bonus. The more Treasure Quest Scatter symbols, the higher the award multiplier.

The bonus multiplier does not apply to the top award (Wild-Wild-Wild-Wild-Wild). For all other winning outcomes during a free spin, the paytable awards are multiplied by the bonus multiplier. After the last free spin, if you had one or more winning outcomes in the bonus, the total of all awards is displayed.

Play today – you could be Quid’s in!

Casino Barred suggests: This is a high volatility, high win payout game. Play only with a bankroll of at least 50 x your average bet (i.e. if you bet 75 credits per spin, you’ll need a 3750 credit bankroll, etc). Prepare yourself for HUGE wins – this game pays big, and you could end up RICH!

Come on down to The Price is Right! This 5-reel, 9-payline slot game has 2 exciting bonus rounds.

Drop chips to stack up awards in the playful Plinko Bonus, or spin the wheel and click your way to riches in the Showcase Bonus. There are 9 paylines, and you can bet 1-5 credits on each payline.

You get the Plinko Bonus when the Plinko symbol appears on reels 3, 4, and 5 when you have bet on all 9 paylines. An animation will play on the reels, and you will be prompted to click one of the Plinko Chip symbols. The symbol will reveal the number of chips that you will have for the Plinko Bonus; you may earn 3, 4, or 5 Plinko chips.

In the Bonus, you drop each chip, one at a time, from one of three slots at the top of the Plinko pegboard. This is a completely fair pegboard — you have a 50:50 chance of the chip falling left or right at each peg. Each Plinko chip will land in one of the award bins at the bottom of the board. The award value of each bin varies each time you play the bonus. You accumulate awards with each Plinko chip you drop. The accumulated award total is multiplied by your average line bet (for the proposition that earned the Bonus), rounded to the nearest whole number, to determine your Bonus Award.

You get the Wheel Bonus when the Wheel symbol appears on reels 1, 2, and 3 on a payline on which you have bet.

Spin the wheel, and if you spin between 55 and 100, you will advance to the Showcase Bonus!

Just as in the real television game version, you get up to two spins of the wheel to earn a chance to advance to the Showcase. The outcomes of your spins are added together to come up with a combined total. If the wheel lands on 50 or less on your first spin, you can choose to take your award as winnings, or you can forgo that prize and choose to spin the wheel a second time, hoping to get a combined spin total of 55 or over without exceeding 100.

If you choose not to spin the wheel a second time after getting a first spin of 50 or less, you win an award worth the value of your first spin, multiplied by the bet on the payline that earned the bonus, and will return to the main game without moving on to the showcase. If you choose to spin again and get a combined total of 55 to 100, you will advance to the Showcase. There is no award for your Showcase qualifying wheel spin. If you choose to spin again and “bust” by exceeding a spin total of 100, you win a consolation award, which is multiplied by the bet on the payline that earned the bonus, and return to the main game without moving on to the Showcase. On each spin, you have an equal chance of landing on any value.

The Showcase offers two award collections, right and left. Choose one, the door opens to reveal a group of items, and six tags appear at the bottom of the playfield. Click a tag to reveal an item in the showcase and an award amount. Keep clicking tags and accumulating awards until you reveal the item with the “Collect Win.” Once you reveal the Collect Win item, your award accumulation is over and you’ll return to the main game. The accumulated award total is multiplied by the bet on the payline that earned the Bonus to determine your Bonus Award.

Within the six tags for the showcase are always five items with award values (one of which has a Collect Win associated with it), and one Double Showcase tag. If you select the Double Showcase tag before revealing the item with the Collect Win, the second Showcase will be revealed and 6 new tags will be displayed – you can now earn awards from both Showcases! Within the 6 additional tags that appear are five items with award values (one of which has a Collect Win associated with it), and one Collect tag. Keep clicking tags to reveal items and accumulate awards until the Collect tag, or one of the Collect Win items in either of the Showcases, is revealed. If the Collect tag is revealed before any of the Showcase items are revealed, it becomes a “Super Collect” and you win all of the award amounts in both Showcases! You have an equal chance of picking any available tag — no one tag is more or less likely to occur than any other.

The Price is Right Plinko is fun, and because there are two bonuses to try for, relatively low risk. I’d define this slot machine as a medium-win, medium-volatility slot machine. That makes it suitable for all slot machine players. Play The Price is Right Plinko now – come on down and WIN!

Wheel of Fortune® Triple Action Frenzy™ makes you the star in the world’s most famous game show. In the Bonus round, play actual puzzles and then spin that legendary wheel with up to three pointers for big cash rewards. With 15 paylines (play 1-5 credits on each), this 5-reel game packs a lot of excitement on every spin. Spin to win now, at Virgin Casino.

Get ready to start clapping when the Super Wild symbol appears on the middle reel. The Super Wild symbol can multiply your normal line wins up to 5x, turning good awards into great ones, and great awards into unbelievable riches. Similar to a regular Wild symbol, the Super Wild substitutes for every symbol except the Bonus symbol. The Super Wild multiplier will only apply to winning combinations completed by the Super Wild symbol. When activated, the Super Wild symbol expands into a choice of five prize envelopes. Inside each envelope is a 2x, 3x or 5x multiplier. Click one of the envelopes to reveal which multiplier will be applied to your line win(s).

The Triple Action Bonus combines the two most iconic elements of the Wheel of Fortune game show into one amazing bonus. First, you see three colour-coded puzzles from the actual game show. To try to solve these puzzles, start picking from the twenty tiles in the lower half of the screen. Each tile contains either a letter or a wheel pointer icon. Reveal a letter and cross your fingers that this letter is in one, two, or all three puzzles. The more puzzles it appears in, the better your bonus!

Reveal a wheel pointer icon and it’s off to the wheel round. The colour of your icon (red, blue or yellow) indicates the wheel pointer with which you will play when you spin the wheel. If your icon has two colours, two wheel pointers are active. If your icon has all three colours, then all three pointers will be in play!

Having picked your wheel pointer icon, all remaining tiles are revealed before you move on to that famous cash wheel. At the top you can see the pointer colour(s) and multiplier(s) you received from the last screen. Take a breath and then spin that wheel.

When the wheel stops, you win the amount pointed to by each active pointer multiplied by the corresponding multiplier. The awards from two or three active pointers are all added together for your total bonus win. Work your bankroll into a Frenzy – play Virgin Casino’s Wheel of Fortune Triple Action Frenzy.

Monopoly, the world’s best-loved board game is now an online slot game. It has great 9-line action (with 5 credit maximum bet on each) and 2 fantastic Bonus features – the Community Chest Instant Bonus or the Pass “GO” Bonus, where you can really cash in. In the Pass “GO” Bonus, Property Deeds, Free Parking, Chance, “GO” and Jail up to rich rewards. Monopoly with Pass “GO” Bonus lets you taste the high life.

Get the Instant Bonus symbol in any position on the last three reels and earn the Community Chest Instant Bonus. Click one of the animating Instant Bonus symbols to reveal your Bonus Multiplier. Your Instant Bonus award is calculated by multiplying your total bet times the multiplier value that you revealed.

You can earn the Pass “GO” Bonus by getting three Bonus Dice symbols on a payline on which you have bet. When you trigger the Pass “GO” Bonus, select one of the three animating Bonus Dice symbols to determine how many times you may roll the dice in the bonus round. Each Bonus Dice symbol reveals a different number of dice rolls, ranging from 1 to 6.

After the number of rolls is revealed, you go to the Monopoly Bonus board, where you roll the dice to collect bonus winnings. You start the bonus with an award of 10. Each time your game piece lands on a deed, you add the award value associated with the deed to your award. When you round the board and pass “GO”, the deed awards on the board grow. The first time you pass“GO” the deed awards are doubled. After passing “GO” twice or more, the deed awards are tripled.

If your game piece lands on Chance, your game piece will advance to another spot on the board, selected completely at random. If your game piece stops on the Free Parking spot, you will be all the richer for it. The parking meter will randomly select an award value, and it will be added to your award.

In addition to the awards that you accumulate, there are two special spots, “GO” and Jail, that can earn you even more cash! If you land on “GO”, you earn a 2x Bonus Multiplier, which multiplies your entire bonus total. If you land in Jail, you are taken to the Jail Bonus, where you can earn a Bonus Multiplier if you roll doubles within three tries. The sooner you roll doubles, (both die values the same), the larger your Bonus Multiplier. You have three chances: if you roll doubles on the first roll you earn a 5x multiplier, if you roll doubles on the second roll you earn a 3x multiplier, and if you roll doubles on your last roll you earn a 2x multiplier. If you do not roll doubles within 3 tries, the Jail Bonus ends without adding a Bonus Multiplier. If you land on either “GO” or Jail more than once and earn a bonus, your Bonus Multipliers are added together.

At the end of your bonus round, your Total Bonus Award is calculated by multiplying the bet on the payline that triggered the bonus, times the sum of all of the awards that you accumulated, times the total of any Bonus Multipliers you earned.

Monopoly with Pass Go Bonus slot machine is an enjoyable game, with low to medium volatility. It’s pretty easy to get the bonus on this game, so a medium sized bankroll will suffice for most playing sessions. Live the high life now at Virgin Casino!
