Sometimes the games are slots and sometimes they are table games, but either way, what is great about these promotions, apart from the prizes, is that they highlight some of the best games that NJ gambling websites have to offer.

This week NetEnt slots take center stage. In fact, Virgin Casino offered the identical promotion in April. I described it in my April 3 article on another website, njonlinecasinobonus.com, so some of you may have seen that article and participated. But even if you haven’t, this week you have another chance. Once again, $2,000 in bonus money is up for grabs and 70 lucky players will all get a piece of it!

How the $2,000 NetEnt prize draw at Virgin Casino works

The current promotion began on Monday, August 19 and continues all week long until 11:59 p.m. Sunday, August 25. Each day that you wager $50 or more on any of the 10 included NetEnt slot games, you earn entries into the upcoming drawing. So ideally, you would have started playing and earning entries since day 1, Monday. However, even if you start today, you still have a good chance to win a prize.

You need to wager at least $50 on any given calendar day during the promotion for that day’s play to count. However, if you wager more, you can earn additional entries. For every $50 wagered on any included game on the same day, you earn 1 entry into the drawing, up to a maximum of five entries per day if your play totals $250 or more.

The maximum number of entries anyone can receive is therefore 35. But if you can’t earn that many, don’t worry about it. The winners will be chosen by a random drawing, where anything can happen, and with 70 prizes being awarded, you have a good shot at winning even without the maximum number of entries. However, keep in mind that you can’t carry over your play from one day to the next so you won’t earn any entries on a day when you don’t wager at least $50.

Are you eligible?

This promotion is open to registered Virgin Casino players only. Living in New Jersey is not a requirement as long as you have access to the NJ VirginCasino.com website and are in New Jersey at the time of your play. However, residents of the following locations are excluded from participating: New York, Florida, Rhode Island, Louisiana, Hawaii, Guam, and Puerto Rico.

What games are included in the Virgin Casino NetEnt prize draw promotion?

The same 10 NetEnt slots games that counted in the April giveaway are the ones you can choose from for this giveaway, too.  Here is the complete list.

 

Select Games
Starburst™
Gonzo’s Quest™
Lost Relics™
Finn and the Swirly Spin™
Guns N’ Roses Video Slots™
Dead or Alive™
Coins of Egypt™
Double Stacks™
Berryburst™
Dazzle Me™

You are free to choose any game or combination of games you wish from this list. If one or more of these games are already a favorite of yours, you might want to play it again. Or if you prefer, you can mix up your play and try something new. It’s entirely up to you.

How much can you win?

This is not the type of drawing that is going to make anybody rich, but with 70 prize winners, there’s much less chance of going away empty-handed than with most drawings.

In any case, you won’t have to wait long to find out. On Monday, August 26, Virgin Casino will hold a random drawing from all of the eligible entries to pick the 70 winners. All prizes will be in the form of bonus money credited to the player’s account and will be either $50 bonus dollars or $20 bonus dollars, as indicated below.

 

# of Winners Prize
20 $50 Bonus Money
50 $20 Bonus Money

 

Winners will most likely see the money in their account within 24 hours thereafter. But allow for up to three business days in case of technical difficulties.

Bonus Money wagering requirements

Unless you are brand new to Virgin Casino, you probably already have the full lowdown on the wagering requirements for clearing the bonus money being offered in this promotion. They are exactly the same as for any other bonus you might receive in the course of your play on VirginCasinoCasino.com or sister NJ gambling website TropicanaCasino.com.

You have up to 30 days to wager the bonus 1x on any casino game you wish. Then, whatever you win as a result is yours to keep and spend as you please.  However, forget about doing likewise with the bonus itself. As soon as you finish wagering it once, win or lose, the casino removes the bonus from your account permanently. But if it’s any consolation, there will be plenty of other bonuses coming your way because Virgin Casino continually comes up with new bonus offers.

Virgin Casino NetEnt Prize Draw Pros and Cons

This promotion shares the same not so great features that, unfortunately, prevail in most other Virgin Casino offers. So let’s summarize those negatives quickly so we can turn our focus instead to what is great about the Virgin Casino NetEnt Prize Draw.

What could be better

 Sticky bonus

There are two problems here. For starters, you can only bet the bonus once. So if you win, you can’t press your luck and try to win more. Traditional bonuses are completely different because in order to clear the bonus, you have to keep betting it many times. If your luck turns bad, it can be tough on your bankroll, but if the reverse is true, there is the potential to get a nice win streak going and turn a huge profit.

The second problem is you can’t keep the bonus, only your winnings, if any, from betting the bonus. Having the bonus money stripped from your account cuts significantly into the amount of profit you can make.

Reduced chance to win due to the likely huge number of entries

Yes, this drawing will have 70 winners. But there will be many times that number of entries, not only because almost any player can qualify, but most participants will have multiple entries rather than just one, and many players will have 35 entries

Offsetting great features

Now we will tell you why you should overlook these shortcomings and participate in this week’s NetEnt giveaway.

It’s a promotion any player can afford

Some NJ online casino promotions may sound great on paper, but once you get past all the fine print and fully understand the deposit and wagering requirements, your opinion might be different. However, this offer from Virgin Casino is the type of promotion any player can afford. If it’s not convenient for you to make a deposit this week, no problem. No deposit is required. Can you afford to bet at least $50 on slots at least one day this week? If you can, you can participate in this offer. And if you win a bonus money prize, you only have to bet the bonus once–with the casino’s money! That’s as little wagering as you’ll ever be asked to do to clear any NJ online casino bonus!

Reasonable cap on the number of entries per person

Of course, you can improve your chances of winning in the drawing with more entries, which you can get by wagering more than $50 per day. But unlike in some drawings, where there is no limit to the number of entries a given player can earn, this one has a cap of five entries per day based on $250  or more in wagers. In other words, high rollers who can afford to bet thousands of dollars per day, won’t go into the drawing with a prohibitive advantage over everybody else. All players have a fair chance to win a prize.

Bonus is just big enough for you to feel it’s worth playing for

Both a $20 bonus and a $50 bonus would have to be considered small, but they are not so tiny, even after the bonus is taken away and only the winnings remain, that you will feel that your play was a complete waste of time.

Excellent opportunity to play some great NetEnt slot games

As if all of the above reasons aren’t enough to convince you to participate in this promotion,  I have saved the piece de resistance for last.

Even if you play at Virgin Casino frequently, there are probably many games you haven’t tried yet, including some of this casino’s best offerings. If you enjoy playing NJ online slots but have been down on your luck lately, a likely reason is that you haven’t been playing the right games. NetEnt slots offer some of the highest returns available to NJ online casino players. In fact, every slot released by this top-of-the-line manufacturer has a return to player (RTP) of 96 percent or better.

I even singled out two the 10 slots on this week’s list—Finn and the Swirly Spin and Berry Burst–as Barb’s Best Bets on this website. Check out what I had to say about these outstanding slots and take some spins on them this week.

High returning slots like these can be beneficial to your bankroll in two ways. One is a higher probability of winning, than with other slots, not necessarily every time you play, but over a period of time. The other nice feature is that even when you don’t win, you are unlikely to experience huge losses, so your bankroll lasts longer.

NetEnt slots are also very entertaining, so any slots you choose to play this week to earn drawing entries could become your favorite games, if they aren’t already. And given their exceptionally high rate of return, for extended play, they make a perfect choice.

I will end this article going out on a limb in predicting that your best chance to be a big winner participating in this promotion is not with a bonus money prize, but simply playing NetEnt slots.
