VIRGIN AFFILIATES NEWS
WE’RE GOING DEEPER UNDERGROUNDFollowing your feedback, we’re delighted to announce the release of our Casino deep-linking feature.
It is now possible to select which page on the Virgin Casino website you want your banners to point to. All you need to do is select the destination page in the target drop down menu when picking up your banner code.
Getting your Elvis banners to point straight to the Elvis game page is sure to increase your conversion rates…try it out
SPLASH!
While we were at it, we also released game specific splash pages for three of our best loved slot games…
Elvis (my personal favorite, with video and sound):
https://www.virgingames.com/casino/SplashGames.aspx?page=elvisMonopoly (Here and Now and Pass Go)
https://www.virgingames.com/casino/splashgames.aspx?page=monopolyMega-Jackpots (with live jackpot counter)
https://www.virgingames.com/casino/splashgames.aspx?page=megajackpotsThose are also available as deep-linked destination pages in the target drop down menu mentioned above, so you can link a Monopoly banner straight to the Monopoly landing page. Your players will like that
SHORTER TRACKING URLS
Following your feedback, we’re delighted to announce the release of our new style short trackers. Our previous trackers being quite long, they sometimes didn’t fit in some banner rotating systems or forums. This is now a thing of the past, as our brand new trackers -released today- are about half a short as they used to…
No need to change all your links right now, all we do is backwards compatible; so your old links will still work perfectly. We do however recommend you switch to the new style links whenever you have a bit of time on your hands.
AMSTERDAM HERE WE COME (AGAIN)
Virgin Games Affiliates will be exhibiting at CAC Amsterdam 2008 this year again. The event is scheduled for May 3-5th, 2008 at the NH Grand Krasnapolsky Hotel in Amsterdam.
If you plan to attend, please come and pay Ted, Warren and myself a visit at booth nº RR1.
VIRGIN CASINO NEWS
VIRTUALLY VEGASVirgin Games today announced a two million pound pub media and online advertising campaign to position Virgin Casino as “the home of Las Vegas” online.
From the dazzling neon lights of the strip to the outrageous cabaret artists and world famous casino architecture, Virgin Casino’s new advertising creative brings the icons of Vegas to life under the strap line ‘Virtually Vegas’. As part of the Wagerworks network – which is owned by IGT, the biggest provider of games to Las Vegas casinos – Virgin Games is able to offer a truly authentic Vegas experience to players, with many of the most popular games on the strip being available to visitors to the service.
Virtually Vegas banners will be made available shortly to affiliates, but you can already inform your players that signing up for a free or cash account within the next 6 weeks from the page below could earn them a Virgin trip to Vegas for two, with all the trimmings.
All new registrants will be entered in a prize draw, cash players will earn extra entries to the draw for each £500 wagered during the period. The winner and a guest will be flown to Las Vegas with Virgin Atlantic. Virgin Casino will pay for the flight, the hotel and will even throw in a bit of cash to spend at the tables.
A holiday to remember!

NEW GAME: CAPTAIN QUID
Capt. Quid’s Treasure Quest – a new game based on the popular 50,000 Pyramid™ model, offers a bountiful treasure booty of up to £250,000.
With plenty of treasure to find, Capt. Quid’s Treasure Quest is a 5 reel, 15 pay line slot game offering the chance to win up to 50,000 gold coins from a single bet – with a maximum win of £250,000 depending on coin size.
Players who match three or more ‘Treasure Quest Bonus’ symbols in any position will trigger the Treasure Quest Bonus, for a chance to strike gold. Digging deep for booty, the Treasure Quest Bonus allows players to build up to a swashbuckling 40 free spins along with a chance to increase the size of the bonus multiplier – up to 10x multiplier in the Free Spins Bonus round.
‘X’ marks the spot as players proceed to the Free Spins Bonus to play out the spins they have earned in a quest to be the winner of the greatest treasure chest ever – Captain’s Quid’s Treasure Quest!
