     Re:  Registration Statement on Form S-8
          ----------------------------------

Gentlemen:

     As counsel for VirtGame.Com Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
we have examined its Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, Bylaws, as
amended, and such other corporate records, documents and proceedings, and such
questions of law as we have deemed relevant for the purpose of this opinion. We
have also, as such counsel, examined the Registration Statement on Form S-8 of
the Company as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, covering the
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of a total 8,980,000
shares of $.00001 par value common stock ("Common Stock"), including the
exhibits and form of Prospectus (the "Prospectus") pertaining thereto
(collectively, the "Registration Statement").

     Upon the basis of such examination, we are of the opinion that:

     1.  The Company is a corporation duly authorized and validly existing in
good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with all requisite power
to conduct the business described in the Registration Statement.

     2.  The shares of the Company's Common Stock registered pursuant to the
Registration Statement have been duly and validly authorized and, subject to the
payment therefor pursuant to the terms contemplated in the final Prospectus,
such shares of Common Stock will be duly and validly issued as fully paid and
non-assessable securities of the Company.

     We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.

                                        Very truly yours,

                                        /s/ Oppenheimer Wolff & Donnelly LLP
