Virgin Casino have launched the Cleopatra II Slot Machine today. Based upon its very popular predecessor, Cleopatra, this very entertaining slot machine promises HUGE wins - but they come with the tradeoff of huge game volatility.

Getting 3 sphinxes on the screen enables you to enter the Free Spin Bonus. Straight away you earn a lucrative scatter award and are presented with three royal boxes. Select one of these boxes to determine the number of free spins. The number of potential free spins increases with the number of Sphinx symbols that launched the bonus.

You start with a 1x award multiplier with your first free spin. This multiplier grows by 1 for each subsequent spin, up to a maximum of a 50x multiplier! Yes, you could win up to 50 FREE SPINS!!! Your effective bet for all of your free spins is exactly the same as the bet you placed when you triggered the bonus.

Take courage! – This game is designed for the more experienced player seeking super-rich bonus opportunities instead of frequent smaller pays. Your odds of hitting a bonus are even better in this game than the original Cleopatra, but be ready for larger extremes in your play experience. If you can survive the dry journey through the desert, you may suddenly behold Great Pyramids of wealth. What does this mean in English? Simply, don’t play with a tiny bankroll. If you’re playing 1c per line, with 20 lines a spin, that’s 20c per spin. Don’t play with $10 expecting to get lucky. Play with $50 or more to give yourself a chance (from my own personal experience with the game).

Remember, Virgin Casino give great matchplay bonuses to new players – full details of current special offers with Virgin Casino and Beat the Casinos can be found on our Exclusive Casino Bonuses page.

Can you really play a fair game of blackjack with ZERO house edge? Yes, but only at one site online: Betfair Casino.

As a way of differentiating themselves in the market, Betfair Casino offer a range of ZERO edge games (including Zero Blackjack, Zero Roulette, Zero Baccarat, and Zero Jacks or Better Video Poker). Up to 3 hands at a time can be played in Zero Blackjack, with a minimum total stake of 5GBP and a maximum total stake of 50GBP.

The basic Zero Blackjack game uses 8 decks with the cards shuffled after every hand. Blackjacks pay normal 3:2 money – however, when a blackjack is SUITED (i.e. Any Ten-value card and an Ace of the SAME SUIT), that blackjack pays 2 to 1! Additionally, if the player has a 5-card 21, then this is also paid out at 2 to 1!

Under the Zero Blackjack game rules, all pairs can be split except for Aces. All pairs can only be split once. Players can double down if their first two cards are 8, 9, 10, or 11. Double down after splitting is allowed. If the dealer shows an Ace as an up card, players can take insurance which pays out at the normal 2:1 odds if the dealer does have a blackjack.

The expected return to players on Zero Blackjack (using perfect player strategy) is 100.0%, correct to 2 decimal places. You simply can’t get a fairer game than that! Read here about our extra special bonuses available to Betfair Casino players until 31 May 2008.

3-Reel Hold Up Slot from Virgin Casino is a comic book caper, complete with “wise guys,” car chases, and a swingin’ soundtrack. But don’t worry, the loot is real!

Unlike many slot games, this is a skill-based reel slot that allows you to spin one set of reels, hold any or all of the symbols, then re-spin for additional chances to win. There is a WILD symbol to help your chances of getting winning combinations. There are 3 paylines, and you can bet 1-5 credits on each payline.

Click the PLAY button to spin the reels. The three reels on the bottom payline will spin and come to rest. You can choose to hold none, 1, 2 or all 3 of the symbols on the reels by clicking on the reels themselves, or the HOLD buttons below them. If you change your mind, you can release the hold by clicking on the held reel or the HOLD button below the reel again. Any symbols you hold from the first payline will become your held symbols in the other two paylines you have bet on above. Then, press the RE-SPIN button to re-spin the reels not containing held symbols, on all of the paylines on which you bet.

If you get 3 Bonus symbols on a payline and you’ll go to the Bonus Round, where you get to steal one item of bonus loot! Your loot is multiplied by the number of credits bet on the lines that earned the Bonus. Bet max for an extra-large bonus award opportunity.

3-Reel Hold Up is great fun, and available to play at Virgin Casino. Play now!
