Tropicana is one of the most popular casinos in Atlantic City. It has performed surprisingly well during the city’s downturn. Its online casino is no different. Tropicana partnered with Gamesys, the company that launched the first real money slot game for Facebook. Gamesys brings a unique product to New Jersey players through this partnership through its proprietary games.
In addition to Tropicana, Virgin Casino also operates on the license. Both sites are identical with the same software, games, and promotions. Virgin Casino is a brand under the Gamesys umbrella.
New Jersey law requires that all players be located within the state to access real money games. Geolocation software is used to pinpoint the player’s location. New Jersey players must be at least 21 years of age.
Tropicana and Virgin Casino only offer casino games banked by the house. Online poker is not available at either site. There is no intention to spread online poker in the future.
New Player Rewards
Tropicana and Virgin Casino have a unique new player welcome package. Most sites offer a first deposit bonus. Tropicana and Virgin Casino use a loss rebate. The sites will refund up to $100 in losses at any game within the first seven days of making a deposit and wager of at least $10.
Tropicana/Virgin Casino Promotions
Like the new player offer, the promotions at these online casinos are also unique. Players may check in each day for a free slot spin, even if there is no money in the account. Tropicana also includes its Atlantic City amenities into the promotions. Free concert tickets, hotel rooms, and meals are often used as prizes in promotions.
High volume players at Tropicana and Virgin Casino will receive a VIP host, just like high rollers in Atlantic City get. Players can access an online host while on the Tropicana Atlantic City property. Comps earned online include dining and hotel stays at Tropicana.
There are community jackpots where players that were active in the past hour receive a share of the winnings. This lowers the variance on the slot machines.
There is also a program where points can be converted into cash. This program is quite poor. It would take $800 in slot play or $2,000 in wagers at other games to earn a penny in cash back.
Games Available
There are dozens of slot machines that can be found in Atlantic City that are also found here online. These include Super Jackpot Party, Cleopatra, Kitty Glitter, Gold Fish, Wild Wolf, and many more.
Video poker titles come straight from Game King machines. They are Bonus Poker, Double Bonus Poker, Double Double Bonus Poker, and Jacks or Better.
Tropicana and Virgin are the only two New Jersey online casinos that offer Pai Gow Poker. Players will also find Hi-Lo, baccarat, blackjack, and roulette. Hi-Lo is basically Acey-Deucy or Between the Sheets where players wager on a card falling between the two exposed cards.
