LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM–(Marketwire – July 22, 2010) – Virgin Casino, part of the leading online gaming company – Virgin Games, has today launched The War of the Worlds slot, a brilliant new addition to the Casino’s wide portfolio of games. Provided by the online casino games supplier, Ash Gaming, the new slot is based on the iconic musical version of Jeff Wayne’s ‘The War of The Worlds’, complete with dramatic music to enhance the players experience.
