Wednesday 25th January, 2012: Virgin Games, the leading online gaming company, has launched a brand new television advertising campaign for its bingo site – Virgin Bingo.

The latest advert is part of a £500,000 marketing campaign to run in the first quarter of 2012. It is a new concept for Virgin Bingo and is a departure from its previous animated advertisements. The new ad takes on a Willy Wonka meets Virgin theme. Staged in an imaginary factory where Virgin Bingo is made, a woman is taken on a backstage tour of the fantastical premises where Oompa-Loompas have been replaced by happy, dancing Virgin staff. The new commercial also introduces Virgin Bingo’s new welcome bonus: “Deposit £10 and play with £35”, as well as new exclusive Virgin Group prizes.

The campaign focuses primarily on women aged between 25 and 54 - the core target market for online bingo - with day time scheduling on channels such as Five, a range of Sky UK and ITV digital channels.

The 30 second advert was produced by ABF Pictures with Manning Gottlieb OMD acting as media planners and buyers. The advert is scheduled to run for multiple campaigns throughout the year across both terrestrial and freeview channels.

Simon Burridge, CEO of Virgin Games, commented: “This new advert has a flavour of Willy Wonka for adults about it. It has lots of energy, excitement and fun – just what consumers have come to expect from a Virgin advert.

“We first advertised Virgin Bingo on TV in 2010 and have witnessed fantastic customer acquisition rates as a result. We’ve found that TV advertising is a natural fit for bingo. Consumer trust and a sense of security and familiarity are very important attributes for a bingo brand. Being part of the Virgin brand helps to reassure customers that they are playing with a reputable company, while TV ads raise awareness of our existence and help to reinforce that trust and brand awareness.”

Matt Barraclough, Creative Director at ABF Pictures, commented: “We were thrilled to have the opportunity of working with the Virgin Games team. A brand like Virgin allows us to think bigger and look at online bingo in a different way. We wanted to stand out from traditional bingo commercials and do it in a very Virgin way.

“The commercial itself was produced over three months. The action was captured on green screen and the entire factory backdrop was then created using 3D modelling and animation. The inspiration for the advert was the core Virgin brand values: Fun, Value for Money, Innovation, Quality, Competitive Challenge and Brilliant Customer Service. We combined these values and used iconic Virgin styles to create an exciting and memorable advert.”

Founded in 2004, Virgin Games has over 1,000,000 players and over 295 games on its site. Through the introduction of a custom built Virgin Games platform in 2008, Virgin Games seeks to provide its players with the widest possible choice of casino games.

Richard Branson's Virgin Casino announced the release of its latest slot game entitled Andre The Giant this week.

Virgin is in the batch of the first casinos to get this amazing slot game. PartyCasino.com is tipped to also host the pro wrestling themed game.

The new wrestling slot game is a Microgaming flash casino game that is based on the iconic World Wrestling Entertainment star Andre the Giant. It has been launched on the QuickFire platform and is fully licensed by CMG Worldwide.

This 5 reel, 25 pay-line slot game has symbols that revolve around the professional wrestling entertainment genre. Players can wrestle with symbols such as the Andre the Giant logo as the scatter, an image of Andre the Giant acts as the wild and there are additional symbols such as the wrestling ring, championship belt, the mask and tickets.

The biggest pay out a player can win from this game is 5,000 coins and this occurs when five matching symbols appear on the same pay-line. Players can then multiply their winnings by playing a game of Hi or Lo with cards.

The Andre Goes Wild feature round allows the wild symbol to expand to cover all three positions on the reel. This will only occur if the expansion results in a winning combination. The wild symbol only appears on reels 2 and 4 during the game.

If two or more Andre the Giant logo scatter symbols appear on the reels at any one time this will activate a scatter pay out. The scatter pay out for hitting five scatter symbols is 200 coins. If a player hits three or more scatter symbols then they will trigger the Battle Bout Bonus round.

In this round, the player is giving 10 free spins. Throughout these 10 free spins, Attack symbols are collected and saved for the second phase of this bonus round. These symbols are some of Andre the Giant signature wrestling moves. Once the free spins finish, the player then takes the Attack symbols collected into the next part of the bonus round where they pick an opponent to fight and then unleash the Attack symbols on that opponent.

Opponents include Flame Bro, Jimmy Iron Legs and Voltage Van Zandt. No, Hulk Hogan or Jake "The Snake" Roberts are not in the game, but we hear both of these wrestling icons are interested to have their own slot game, and Hogan's wish will be coming soon later this year.

If Andre the Giant hits the opponent then the player wins bonus credits. If Andre the Giant hits the opponent three or more times then the player can select one of Andre the Giant’s finishing moves to win the bout and earn multiple bonus credits.

The Andre the Giant slot game is available to play Virgin Casino right now and Virgin offer some of the best online casino bonuses on the planet so ring the bell!

*Andre The Giant fans may also like The Incredible Hulk online slot. Hulk Hogan purchased the Hulk naming rights to use "The Incredible Hulk" from Marvel Entertainment in a multi million dollar deal approximately 20 years ago.

*Australian, New Zealand and Canadian players - try other Hollywood and branded slot games at PartyCasino.com

Tubular Bells For Two; Seymour Centre, Sydney, Australia - 10th January 2012

Music Virgin Records Richard Branson Events Sydney Festival Sydney Australia News News Entertainment News

Today we had the enormous pleasure to expience Tubular Bells For Two in person at the Seymour Centre in Sydney.

If the name, "Tubular Bells" (For Two) sounds familiar, it should.

The original version by legendary musician Mike Oldfield has been used in many movies and is often referenced in media, and is also understood to be the breakthrough artist signing of Richard Branson's Virgin Records back in 1973.

Daniel Holdsworth and Aidan Roberts did a supurb job of entertaining and informing media types who witnessed their magic early today at the Seymour Centre.

It was two artists (bordering on musical genius we think), and 22 instruments, as they performed both 'Tubular Bells' and the somewhat less famous, 'Caveman'. On conclusion numerous media introduced themselves and complimented them on their ultra impressive contribution to the Sydney Festival.

Aidan explained "We started 10 years ago on trumpet and just kept adding instruments".

Media Blurb

Where: The Reginald, Seymour Centre. Corner City Road and Cleveland Street, Chippendale

One album. Two men. Too many instruments. A marathon of multi-instrumentalism. Two ambitious musicians take up more than 20 instruments to present Mike Oldfield’s classic hit Tubular Bells in a unique musical – and acrobatic – performance. Oldfield’s beautiful and sprawling progressive Celtic-folk-rock opus shot to number one in charts around the world in 1973-74.

Now Sydney multi-instrumentalists Daniel Holdsworth and Aidan Roberts have arranged the entire score of Tubular Bells to be played live by just two blokes, bringing the influential masterpiece to life in all its multi-layered madness and subtle beauty.

Bios (provided)

Other current projects include a 9-part spoken word and experimental music project The Dead City Lullabies, and the highly experimental rock project The Blizzards, with Liam Judson (Belles Will Ring).

During 2009, Holdsworth was composer and musical director for the Acting Factory’s children’s production of Hansel and Gretel. Other theatrical/dance work include compositions for the productions Big Girls Don’t Cry (2004), Hanging by a Thread (2003) and Reinvent Your Name (2002).

Other...

Tubular Bells is the debut record album of English musician Mike Oldfield, released in 1973. It was the first album released by Virgin Records and an early cornerstone of the company's success. Vivian Stanshall provided the voice of the "Master of Ceremonies" who reads off the list of instruments at the end of the first movement. The opening piano solo was used as a soundtrack to the blockbuster William Friedkin film The Exorcist (released the same year) and gained considerable airplay because of this.

The piece was later orchestrated by David Bedford for The Orchestral Tubular Bells version and it had three sequels in the 1990s, Tubular Bells II (1992), Tubular Bells III (1998) and The Millennium Bell (1999). Finally, the album was fully re-recorded as Tubular Bells 2003 at its 30th anniversary in 2003. A newly mastered and mixed re-issue of the original album appeared in June 2009 on Mercury Records, with bonus material. On 6 June there were international bell-ringing ceremonies to promote the release.

Tubular Bells in Movies and TV...

The opening theme, which was eventually chosen for the 1973 film The Exorcist, gained the record considerable publicity and introduced the work to a broader audience. Along with a number of other Oldfield pieces it was used in the 1979 NASA movie, The Space Movie. The opening theme has been sampled by many other artists such as Janet Jackson on her song "The Velvet Rope". The opening theme has also gained cultural significance as a 'haunting theme'; partly due to the association with The Exorcist.

In television it was also used in several episodes of the Dutch children's series Bassie en Adriaan, an episode ("Ghosts") of the BBC series My Family and an episode ("Poltergeist III - Dipesto Nothing") of Moonlighting. It was also used in a television advertisement for the Volkswagen Golf Diesel in 2002. It has also been used in other films such as 1974's Black Christmas, 1985's Weird Science, 2001's Scary Movie 2, 2002's The Master of Disguise and 2004's Saved!. The album is also referenced in the Only Fools and Horses episode "Fatal Extraction", although the cover of Tubular Bells II is shown on screen.

Richard Branson on Measuring the Success of 2011, by Richard Branson

News

Financial News Virgin News News

As I look out across the ocean, savoring another sunset on Necker Island, I find myself reflecting on a busy and exciting year for myself and the Virgin Group. There were a couple of setbacks: In January, I ruptured a cruciate ligament in a ski accident, which meant that I had to travel to France and South Africa on crutches; in August, a fire here destroyed the great house. But we have ended 2011 in a much happier way, with my daughter Holly’s wedding to Fred Andrews, a shipbroker. This seems a good time to jot down a few of the year’s highlights.

I have written previously that success cannot be measured in wealth, fame or power, but by whether you have made a positive difference for others. The accomplishments of the past year of which I am most proud involve my efforts to raise awareness of and financing for Virgin Unite, along with the new philanthropic ventures we launched.

Because it is our responsibility as entrepreneurs and business leaders to tackle the issues our society faces, from climate change to poverty. To find solutions, we at Virgin have had to consciously cast aside traditional thinking, form unusual partnerships and consider unorthodox answers. Here are some of our most effective actions:

1. Taking the initiative.

The Carbon War Room is a business-focused, global NGO we set up three years ago to find profitable solutions to tackling climate change: Our society does not have to make a choice between economic growth and saving the environment. CWR is a nonprofit fixated by profit.

We made great progress over the past 12 months. Rather than waiting for governments to work out policy solutions, the CWR team launched two game-changing websites: one to promote efficiency in shipping; another to rank and chart the latest in sustainable aviation biofuels.

Earlier this year CWR launched a program to help finance energy-efficient retrofits of buildings, which was kicked off with a
$650 million investment scheme in Florida and California.

2. Reducing, reusng, recycling and planning for the future.

We must also ensure that we conserve our planet’s resources and maintain diversity. This year Virgin Unite struck up a great partnership with WildAid to campaign for the banning of shark-finning, the barbaric and wasteful act of cutting a fin off a living shark.

WildAid estimates that 73 million sharks per year are killed for this dish.

This project is in its early days but we are making great progress, thanks in part to the support of Governor Jerry Brown of California, who signed a bill banning the sale and possession of shark fins.

Already, many top restaurants and hotels no longer serve shark-fin soup.

3. Championing unconventional solutions.

Over the past 50 years, drug usage has gone up and jails have filled.

Though millions of taxpayer dollars have been spent trying to stamp out this illicit trade, the prohibitions have merely fueled organized crime. It is time that we try an alternative approach. This year I was fortunate to be part of the U.N. Global Commission on Drug Policy, which found that the costly war on drugs has backfired, producing little to no results.

A decade ago, Portugal became the first European country to officially abolish all criminal penalties for personal possession of drugs – a brave and successful policy. Jail time was replaced with offers of treatment for addiction: many critics feared this would attract “drug tourists” and exacerbate Portugal’s drug problem.

The results of a report commissioned by the Cato Institute in April this year suggest otherwise. It found that in the five years after personal possession was decriminalized, illegal drug use among teens in Portugal declined and rates of new HIV infection caused by sharing of dirty needles dropped, while the number of people seeking treatment for drug addiction more than doubled.

Portugal’s brave stand amounts to a decision to “Screw Business As Usual” – the title of my latest book and a mantra that should be adopted by people holding positions in company boardrooms and government cabinets the world over.

4. Building for the future.

Virgin businesses have always emphasized the need to challenge the market and do things differently – values we are keen to share with a new generation of entrepreneurs in the developing world. In 2011 we continued to expand our efforts, launching the new Branson Centre of Entrepreneurship in Jamaica and moving our center in Johannesburg to new premises, under a new CEO. Both centers are focused on helping young entrepreneurs to expand their businesses by offering practical advice and mentoring.

I brought groups of business people to South Africa and Jamaica to meet our entrepreneurs; as always, the visitors were bowled over by the young entrepreneurs’ enthusiasm and passion for their work. We hope to expand our efforts further and to find financing and maybe obtain government help in scaling up these centers.

Our society’s social, environmental and financial problems remain challenging and it looks like next year will be a tough one on many fronts. We will need to look for bold solutions, because change means opportunity. Whether you can effect small changes at the local level or try to push for sweeping cultural shifts in your industry or sector, 2012 – now – is the time to make a difference.

Richard Branson empathy for "Occupy Wall Street" protesters - 23rd November 2011

As the fourth richest man in the United Kingdom, Sir Richard Branson is not part of the "99 percent," a phrase coined by the "Occupy Wall Street" protesters to describe those making less than the richest one percent.

But the Virgin boss and self-made billionaire has empathy for protesters currently making headlines all over the world, FOXNews.com reported Tuesday.

"It is a very positive movement, it's a peaceful movement and it needs to make businesses all over the world sit up and listen," Branson said at the Rock the Kasbah party in support of his non-profit Virgin Unite foundation in Hollywood.

He said his new book, titled "Screw Business as Usual," actually has a message similar to that of the protests.

"Basically its saying that business should come to be a force for good, it should get out there and tackle the problems of the world," he explained. "In that way, it hopefully can regain its reputation and the need to 'Occupy Wall Street' will be less."

Branson also said he is optimistic that the movement will have a positive impact in turning the corporate world around for the better.

"It should happen in packs and I really think its capitalism is going to have a good name rather than a bad name," he said. "It's up to the people who are lucky enough to be in a position of power through businesses to utilize that power responsibly that's so very, very important."

As a teenager, Branson spent time running from police wielding batons as he marched on the American embassy in England in an effort to try to stop the Vietnam War.

"I'm a lad of the 60s and I think we had a social conscience in those days," he recalled. "So from quite a young age I set up an advisory for the young people and through the advisory center I got a great understanding of people who were struggling in life, and I'm in a position where I can make a real difference and I'm determined to make a real difference."

James Bond in bed again with Virgin Atlantic; Virgin back after Casino Royale - 21st November 2011

James Bond is flying again with Richard Branson's Virgin Atlantic, after the airline inked a new sponsorship deal for the highly anticipated 007 movie Skyfall.

Years again 007 preferred British Airways but things can change over time, and when the price is right.

Daniel Craig is understood to have excited Branson's Virgin in Casino Royale, and that's when the first Virgin Atlantic deal with the Bond franchise came to pass.

Not only did Bond pick up a Virgin Atlantic frequent flyer card, but Branson snatched a brief cameo in that first Daniel Craig 007 film.

Some viewers may recall the scene as one of Bond's enemies enters Miami Airport to plant a bomb on a 'Skyfleet' plane.

The villain walks through the security gate on the left, while a passenger standing arms-spread on the right is sneaky Branson.

Sir Richard Branson: Why my friend is dying for a change in organ donor law, by Richard Branson - 17th November 2011

2011-11-18T22:54:00.000+11:00

Profiles

Richard Branson Virgin Enterprises Limited

I’m quite used to people approaching me in the street for help. It’s what happens when you have a recognisable face.

But from the outset, Fiona Hills was different.

She came up to me as I strolled along Notting Hill Gate in London three months ago.

I was immediately taken by her – she was a vibrant, smiling, kind, happy, thoughtful person.

That made her story even more heartbreaking.

Fiona said she was terribly sorry to bother me but explained she had a liver disease and would die unless she could get a liver transplant.

She went on to tell me how 1,000 patients die needlessly every year while awaiting life-saving transplant surgery because of a lack of organs.

She had written to David Cameron but got no response and hoped maybe I was in a position where I could cut through the bureaucracy and get things done.

Fiona told me that, while 90% of the population support organ donation, just 29% are officially registered.

As I stood chatting to her in the street, I was embarrassed. I admitted that I had never signed up and did not have a donor card despite wishing to donate my organs when I die.

It had crossed my mind and was something I had debated over the years and therefore I felt guilty that I had not done something about it.

Then Fiona explained the proposed opt-out system to me, which makes carrying a donor card redundant.

This system, also known as ‘presumed consent’, is used with great success in other European countries, including France, Spain and Austria.

It is incredibly simple and saves thousands of lives every year.

Under the system, every person who dies is a potential donor unless they opt out from the transplant register.

As a result, the waiting lists for organs in these countries have all but disappeared.

As I stood listening to Fiona, it became screamingly obvious the same thing needs to be adopted here – and quickly.

That’s why I decided to launch a campaign for a change in the law, making it easy for everyone to become a donor unless they do not wish to be one.

When my father Ted died in March, aged 93, despite the fact that he wanted to become a donor no one asked us and in truth it was the last thing on our minds at the time.

Looking back, I know he’d have loved the idea of helping someone else and living on through them.

Britain has one of the lowest donor rates in Europe, with just 13 people out of every million donating organs.

People are dying completely unnecessarily in the UK because the wrong system is in place.

When people die they either go to a crematorium or are buried and their organs go to waste, organs which could save somebody.

Fiona is 42 and suffering from end-stage liver failure as a result of a genetic condition, auto-immune hepatitis.

She was placed on the transplant list in 2009 when her condition deteriorated and now lives in constant pain, spending three days every six weeks having six litres of fluid drained from her abdomen.

It just seems sad to think Fiona could die in a few years, yet with a slight change in the law she will be kept alive. The current UK system also puts young doctors and nurses in an awful position.

They face the prospect of asking relatives if they will allow the person they’ve just lost to be an organ donor. I cannot think of a worse question to have to ask, or indeed a worse time to ask the question.

As a result, many medical professionals simply don’t have the courage to ask or feel it is too inappropriate.

I have since spoken to my family about it and will do my best to always carry a card.

But realistically the law needs to be changed so people don’t have to think about always carrying a donor card.

When Gordon Brown was Prime Minister, he tried to introduce presumed consent.

Sadly, the law was never changed after objections from Muslim and Catholic groups.

But as I see it, if someone has a religious reason – or any other reason for that matter – why they wish to opt out then fine, they can.

I am writing to David Cameron and Health Secretary Andrew Lansley to ask for their support.

The number of patients in the UK awaiting transplants is staggering.

There were 6,920 waiting in 2009, according to the NHS Blood Transplant Organ Donation and Transplantation Directorate.

The majority of those were on dialysis costing £193million a year. If they had received a transplant, the annual cost would be £41million – a £152million saving to the NHS.

The fact the Mirror is helping to highlight the issue is fantastic and will help enormously.

The important thing is that organs are found for those who are in desperate need today. We will keep up the pressure and I urge Mirror readers to do the same by sending their messages to my foundation, Virgin Unite.

People are dying unnecessarily every day in this country. It needs to stop.

New Branded Slot Game at Virgin Casino Online: Highlander

Casino Virgin Games Virgin Casino Richard Branson Highlander

A new branded slot game has gone live at Virgin Casino via its GTS software platform. The game is entitled Highlander, which is based on the franchisee owned by the Davis Panzer production company. Over the last 25 years, there have been 5 movies, 2 television series, an animated series, an animated movie, an animated flash-movie series, 10 original novels, 17 comic book issues and various licensed merchandise, all based on the Highlander. The great new slot game is based on the first Highlander movie.

The symbols on the reels will add special meaning to those Virgin Casino players who are familiar with the Highlander legend. They include various facets from the movie like The Prize, The Gathering, Holy Ground, Swordplay and Immortals. Characters from the film are also presented as high value card symbols. The slot game has dialogues and video clips from the movie in the introduction, during winning combinations and in bonus games. The wild symbol is the deer and it converts to the symbol it substitutes during winning combinations.

There are three high power bonus games in the Highlander online slot that players at Virgin Casino will enjoy. Three or more scatter bonus symbols appearing anywhere on the reels pay x1 the total stake and trigger the Battle Bonus. This simulates a battle between the Highlander and Krugan. Players have to select from the given maneuvers before each bout. A successful attack will move the prize marker to the next tier value in the bonus winnings bar and, in addition, any lost energy will be replenished back to full. However, a failed attack will result in the loss of a third of the energy. There is enough energy for three failures in a row before the battle ends and then the player collects any final winnings. The video clips accompanying the battle maneuvers are awesome but require a high speed Internet connection to be seen smoothly.

Three or more scatter free spins symbols appearing anywhere on the reels pay x1 total stake and trigger the Free Spins bonus. During the Free Spins bonus if three or more free spins symbols appear again then the award is repeated. The Free Spins bonus has the Super Wild symbol. This is a wild symbol that remains in play for the duration shown on the icon and thus results in greater payout possibilities. It is only available during the Free Spins bonus. The final bonus is the Sword Skill bonus which is triggered when three or more sword scatter symbols appear anywhere on the reels. It pays x1 total stake and allows Virgin Casino players to select one of the symbols on the reels to reveal the final award.

Virgin Gaming: Call of Duty Elite 'not a threat'

Call of Duty Electronic Arts THQ Virgin Gaming Virgin Games Virgin Enterprises Limited Richard Branson Gaming Games

The Battlefield 3 Worldwide Conquest Tournament helps EA compete with Call of Duty Elite, Activision’s social service which also includes a competitive gaming element with prizes up for grabs, according to Virgin Gaming.

“We don’t view Elite as a threat,” Virgin co-founder Zachary Zeldin told the press.

“We view it as one of the top industry leaders taking notice of what Virgin Gaming is doing and trying to implement it themselves. Which is great. We wish them nothing but success. I wouldn’t be surprised if Activision was a part of Virgin Gaming next year.

"We are very excited to see how Elite is going to do and how the community is going to receive it, are they going to view it as too hardcore? Or too expensive? It is going to be trial and error for Activision in the first year and I am excited to see it.”

The company says it has hit the jackpot with its official $1.6m Battlefield 3 gaming tournament.

The online competitive games specialist claims its EA deal has opened doors for them, helping the outfit score major clients such as 2K Games, THQ and Codemasters.

The company will give away some £2.6m in prizes to its members over the next 12 months. And it promised that its service can help sell DLC and keep developers’ games out of the pre-owned bins.

“When a company like EA trusts you with their $1bn IP, people see that and say ‘If EA is willing to do this then they must know something we don’t,’” said Virgin Gaming co-founder Zachary Zeldin.

“We have been teaching developers about how we can be beneficial to their game, how we are going to keep users engaged in their product more, how we can roll out DLC for them and help sell more of this extra content, or how we can keep their games out of the second-hand shelves for six months longer.

“If Battlefield has a map pack that EA wants to release, we can run a $50,000 or a $100,000 tournament specific to that map pack. So now they have to buy that map pack.

“We are helping that community evolve.”

Rocknroll new romance for Kate Winslet!

The Oscar winning actress, 35, is dating Richard Branson's nephew Ned Abel Smith -- a.k.a. Ned Rocknroll -- a source confirms to Us Weekly.

The duo arrived together at last Tuesday's memorial service for Ted Branson (Richard Branson's father) at the Royal Geographical Society in London. The Daily Mail reports that Ned, 33, legally changed his name to "Ned Rocknroll" several years back, and recently separated from his wife Eliza, the daughter of a British viscount.

"Ned is really happy with Kate," the source tells Us, adding that the couple are currently spending a romantic weekend in the English countryside. Mildred Pierce star Winslet is "mature and has it all together," the source explains. "[Ned] feels he can learn so much from her. It's sexy -- a boy toy situation!"

An old friend of the Branson family, Winslet was famously a guest on Richard Branson's private Necker Island in late August when the house she was staying in caught fire; Winslet ended up carrying Eve, Branson's elderly mother, out of the burning building.

Winslet wasn't a solo visitor during her momentous Necker Island stay. In addition to her kids Mia, 10, and Joe, 7, the star's fellow guest was Louis Dowler, her on-and-off model beau.

No word yet on exactly when Winslet and Dowler parted ways.

Casino Virgin Casino Virgin Enterprises Limited Virgin Games Virgin Poker Virgin Bingo Richard Branson Media Man Gambling911 New Games

Virgin Casino, gaming brand of Richard Branson, launches new beta website to engage users through content and to provide easy navigation for their players. Media Man, long time friend and b2b affiliate partner of Virgin Games, probes the situation, and no, before you ask, Virgin Games does not offer United States, Australian or New Zealand players paid casino games, but Party and others accept Aussies and Kiwi's, so the news ain't all bad...

The fully re-structured, re-designed, and re-optimised beta website of Virgin Casino, Virgin Poker and Virgin Bingo is now live and can be accessed via their current website.

For a limited time, visitors to the Virgin Casino website will be able to switch between the new and classic sites, with the new site to be fully-implemented in a few short weeks.

Virgin Casino is encouraging players to give their feedback on the new design by completing a short survey, which will earn them 100 V Points and enter them into a prize draw for an iPad 2.

Some other gaming companies such as Bwin.Party Digital Entertainment and their showcase PartyCasino.com have stepped up and made website upgrades of their own, albeit minor, along with launching a selection of new games.

Paddy Power has revamped their online casino and added the popular Monopoly You're In The Money slot game.

Grand Reef Online Casino has recently added some more world class promotions, complementing their selection of Playtech powered online games.

PKR Casino, sister website of PKR Poker, is looking sharp and has new promotions and games.

Microgaming powered online casinos, Captain Cooks Casino and Aspinalls Online Casino seem to be lagging behind, with their websites looking rather stale and both lacking any new games.

In the online casino world this month Media Man has the following in the running for their monthly awards: 1. PartyCasino 2. Virgin Casino 3. PKR 4. Grand Reef Online Casino 5. Paddy Power online casino

Summary: For our money PartyCasino.com remains the #1 online casino (that doesn't accept U.S players). For online casinos that do accept U.S players be sure to check out the news and offerings at portals such as Gambling911.com Bwin.Party Digital Entertainment continues to power ahead with Richard Branson's Virgin Games on their trail, and you never know who will step up to the plate next. To the winner goes the spoils.

Media Man has a dedicated Website Reviews section, as well as a Casino Reviews section on their website portal.

Virgin Media: Website blocking plan faces major issues

2011-07-25T10:27:00.001+10:00

Profiles

Virgin Enterprises Limited Virgin Media Richard Branson Internet

Website blocking could be a part of the solution to internet piracy, according to Virgin Media CEO Neil Berkett, but he has also warned of the issues facing such a proposal.

Speaking at Intellect's consumer electronics conference in London, Berkett said that Virgin Media still has reservations over website blocking proposals.

He said, "I think site blocking is a possible part of the overall solution, but it's not the solution. How do we go about ensuring it's the right sites [being blocked]? What is the process we go through so we don't unnaturally block supply? There's a lot to consider over the legalities of it all."

Regime change

"You must have a regime that a) [sees] the right site is blocked and b) it is blocked by everybody; there can't be any Robin Hoods of the internet [ISPs] saying, 'No, I'm with the other side'," he continued.

"And I think that we still have a way to go to be able to create an environment where the two sides of the table see eye to eye.

"I think we [Virgin Media] are probably more progressive than our peers and competitors; we do see [the proposals] as important for ourselves, but it's a greater part of our vision as the facilitator for change in the digital world; and I think you'll start to see others follow that."

The comments come after Ed Vaizey, the UK's minister for culture, communications and creative industries, denied that secret meetings had taken place to rush a website blocking proposal through government.

Although the proposals remain real, he maintains that the copyrights holders put forward the plans and that consumer groups were invited to discuss them.

Virgin Casino, one of the prominent names in the gambling industry, has launched yet another interesting and exciting novel game titled Midas Millions.

The slot game is featured by Ash Gaming and has been structured uniquely. It is devoid of the regular payline and the reels format. There are 18 cells which will be spinning independently. The payouts in the game will be solely based as per the symbols that are next to each other. Every group essentially needs to have at the least four symbols of the same kind. This will provide the player with more than 100,000 awesome ways for winning.

Wild symbols have got a significant role at the slot game in the Virgin Casino. King Midas will be there sitting at the semi transparent reels and touching the symbols in order to turn them in the golden wild symbols.

Spider-Man Tobey Maguire Star Caught In Web Of Gambling Ring; Leonardo DiCaprio Rounders Up, by Greg Tingle - 23rd June 2011

Spider-Man star... Mr Spider-Man himself, Tobey Maguire, is one of a dozen or Hollywood stars being sued in connection with an illegal gambling ring that allegedly ran multi-million dollar underground poker games.

And you wonder why Hollywood so embraced the popular poker themed game 'Rounders'.

According to the suit, Maguire took more than $US300,000 worth of illegal funds embezzled from hedge fund investor Bradley Ruderman, who is currently in jail for a ponzi scheme.

The underground games, allegedly led by Ruderman, CEO of Ruderman Capital Partners, were unlicenced and thus illegal under California law.

According to the investigation, Ruderman lost $US25 million of investor money in the games, which were held bi-weekly in luxurious suites at the Beverly Hills Hotel, Viper Room and Four Seasons Hotel.

With Ruderman's company now in bankruptcy, trustees are attempting to seize some of Maguire's winnings to pay off creditors.

Nick Cassavetes, who directed The Notebook, and Welcome Back, Kotter star Gabe Kaplan are among the names facing hefty lawsuits for their participation in the high stakes Texas Hold'em games, according to leaks and a range of online and traditional media outlets.

Other stars who allegedly took part in the gatherings, which had a buy-in of $US100,000, included 'Catch Me If You Can' megastar Leonardo DiCaprio, Good Will Hunting actor Ben Affleck and Bourne star Matt Damon. Damon was also in the poker themed movie 'Rounders'.

Tens of millions of dollars is understood to have changed hands in the illegal games.

Marvel Entertainment does not offer marvel themed poker games but does offer Marvel Entertainment themed online slot games, available in website portals such as Media Man Int and via online gaming brands such as Bwin.Party Digital Entertainment and Richard Branson's Virgin Casino. PartyCasino.com, the online casino leading brand by Bwin.Party is understood to be in negotiation with both the United States, Canadian and Australian governments regarding b2 gaming. Party came to a settlement with the United States Department Of Justice two years ago to the tune of approximately $100 million, and are looking to expand gaming in the U.S beyond their World Poker Tour brand.

Who are you betting on? Spider-Man or the 'Catch Me If You Can' man? Maybe you would prefer not to say and just place a silent bet!

Tobey Maguire sued over illegal poker winnings...

Spider-Man star Tobey Maguire and other celebrities have been caught in a web of lawsuits seeking to reclaim more than $US4 million ($3.8 million) won during unlicensed poker matches at upscale Beverly Hills hotels, court records show.

The lawsuits were filed by a bankruptcy trustee attempting to recoup money for investors who were duped in a Ponzi scheme.

The legal actions claim the clandestine Texas Hold 'em matches were played between 2006 and 2009, with some of the money taken in the Ponzi scheme used to pay off debts incurred by its architect, Bradley Ruderman.

Maguire is being sued for $US311,000 plus interest that the lawsuit says was won from Ruderman. In all, 22 people have been individually sued to try to recoup money.

Among them was Nick Cassavettes, director of The Notebook. The trustee is attempting to recover nearly $US73,000 plus interest from the actor-director.

Maguire's attorney, Robert Barta, did not immediately return a phone message seeking comment but was expected to file a response to the suit later this week.

Cassavettes's agent Jeff Berg also did not immediately respond to a phone message.
Also being sued is billionaire businessman Alec Gores, who along with his brother attempted to buy Miramax Films last year.

Gores is being sued for $US445,500. Phone message left for Frank Stefanik, a spokesman at The Gores Group, and his attorney, Patricia Glaser, were not immediately returned.

Ruderman was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison earlier this year after pleading guilty to two counts of wire fraud, two counts of investment adviser fraud and willful failure to file taxes.

Bankruptcy trustee Howard Ehrenberg filed the lawsuits in late March, attempting to recoup money on behalf of people who invested in what the legal action called a Ponzi scheme organised by Ruderman.

The suits contend the defendants have no right to keep money won from Ruderman, since the games did not have the appropriate government licenses.

Tournaments were held in luxury hotels in Beverly Hills and organised by a woman identified as Molly Bloom, who is being sued for nearly $US475,000 paid to her by Ruderman, the lawsuits said.

The claims were first reported Wednesday by RadarOnline and Star Magazine. (Credit: AP)

Virgin Casino, the diverse online gambling site, announced that it will be debuting a brand new online slot game, created by IGT subsidiary, WagerWorks.

The new video slot game, Wild Wolf, is already a huge hit at land based casinos, and now it is brought right to the players' fingertips thanks to a software agreement between Wagerworks and Virgin Games.

Wild Wolf boasts a massive fifty pay lines and is a sequel to the hugely popular Wolf Run video slot game.

However, while WagerWorks stayed true to the Wolf tradition from the original classic slot, they have gone all out to improve the game through bigger rewards, more bonus re-triggers, more payouts and more ways to win.

Bonus Features

Besides the amazing graphics that come with this new video slot game, Wild Wolf brings players some excellent bonus features.

These include stacked wilds, free spins and lots of rewards.

The free spins bonus is triggered by landing three bonus features on the centre reels. Players are initially awarded five free spins, which can be retriggered multiple times up to a maximum of 255 free spins!

Virgin Casino News Update

Clearly, Virgin Casino continues to search for ways to keep its players entertained and rewarded.

The group has signed software deals with multiple providers so that the games are always current, fresh and bring players the last word in online gaming. Providers include top brands such as WagerWorks, Microgaming and more.

Virgin Casino offers its new players a £100 welcome bonus in cash for them to enjoy the games and software when they first sign up.

Games on offer include roulette, blackjack, keno, and plenty of slot games such as Cleopatra, Tomb Raider, Top Trumps Euro Stars, Zuma, Shaaark! Super bet, Da Vinci Diamonds, Wheel Of Fortune, Monopoly and Unicorn Legend.

Virgin Games has been getting many new slot games in the past months, with most going into both Virgin Casino and Virgin Bingo.

A number of new slot machines have been launched by Virgin recently so check them out punters.

Shaaark! SuperBet: Sun, sea and sand, oh and look out for the SHAAARK! Watch as it chomps symbols into WILDS. This is one shark you won't want to miss. THE GAME: The game is a five-reel slot machine with a DOUBLE BONUS FEATURE to multiply your winnings. During the regular play, the goal is to achieve a winning combination of symbols on any of the selectable lines. Payouts depend on the bet per line played and the winning combination of symbols achieved. The theoretical average return to player (RTP) is 95.36% with Super Bet enabled or 93.49% (with Super Bet disabled). Malfunction voids all pays and plays. Play 1 to 25 lines. All symbols pay Left to Right except scattered FIN which pays any.

Alice's Wonderland is a 5-reel 20-line slot game. The game features a Progressive Jackpot in the Mad Hatter's Tea Party bonus round, an in-reel Rabbit Hole bonus, as well as freespins with extra wild symbols. It is also possible to win all 3 bonus features in one spin! Which makes this ASH Gaming game very popular with both new and expert slot players.

Bejeweled 2 has 20 lines of glittering reel action including 3 Bonus Games. Bonus rounds include: Free Spins Scatter, Wheel of Riches Scatter, Bejeweled Bonus Scatter. Enjoy this sequel to the classic gem-swapping puzzler and start promoting this fantastic game from Blueprint Gaming.

CryptoLogic’s Batman Slot: The Batman Slot is one of the new breed of online slots using high end technology with bonus rounds more like an actual arcade game than a traditional slot machine game. The new slot even features a bonus bet which gives the player a chance to scoop a larger jackpot.

As with most new online slots released at Virgin Bingo and indeed Virgin Casino there is also a matching new promotion. Starting today and running until 23:59 Monday 2nd May players can earn additional cash back just by playing a range of slots which of course includes the new Batman slots. The amount of cash back you receive depends on the amount you actually wager but amazingly you can earn up to £500. Virgin Games have stated that all bonuses for the promotion will be paid into players accounts on Tuesday 3rd.

Virgin Bingo Rooms

Necker Island & Marrakesh (90-ball bingo): Play traditional 90-ball bingo in a room that's as luxurious as Richard's very own tropical paradise, Necker Island, or rock the Kasbah, by playing in the bustling and colourful room, Marrakesh.

Virgin Games Reveals Luckiest Star Signs...

Expert Astrologer, Russell Grant, Comments on Findings

In the run up to Friday 13th, online gaming company Virgin Games, has analysed a 50,000 player sample of its database to find the luckiest and unluckiest star signs when it comes to winning money.

The data showed that Aquarius, closely followed by Capricorn are the luckiest star signs, while Libra is the unluckiest. Players were defined as 'lucky' by having a winning session of more than GBP1,000.

Expert Astrologer, Russell Grant, commented on the findings: "All signs have the potential for being lucky and as the planets are constantly moving, people will move in and out of lucky phases.

That's why you should never give up if your sign falls at the bottom of the lucky/unlucky chart. For some months now Saturn has been traveling retrograde in Libra but the good news is, as from mid-June, Saturn turns direct and Librans could well start to see more good fortune in their life.
"Also in June, the lucky planet Jupiter will be entering Taurus. Taurus already seems to have had more than its fair share of luck lately and that's probably because this careful sign will have cleverly worked out gambling tactics that help them improve their gambling odds. It is interesting to see that all the more cautious Earth signs: Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo are in the top five lucky signs.

"What can the more impulsive Fire signs Leo, Aries and Sagittarius learn from this? Maybe to curb their impulsiveness, work out the odds, take calculated risks and pause and watch for the next good opportunity. However, don't hesitate for too long! Because Libra, the only Air sign at the bottom of the list has a tendency to vacillate and as the old saying goes: he who hesitates is lost. So as Librans pull themselves out of a more restrictive Saturn phase, they should take a leaf out of their Aquarian friends' books and let their motto be: He who dares, wins!"

Simon Burridge, CEO of Virgin Games, commented: "As Friday 13th hits us, we thought it would be a good idea to look at the fortune of our customers and to try and understand whether certain star signs are luckier than others. Of course, this is just a bit of fun, but I may steer clear from letting a Libran deal with my money on this inauspicious day!"

From luckiest to unluckiest, the findings of Virgin Games' data was as follows:

1. Aquarius
2. Capricorn
3. Taurus
4. Gemini
5. Virgo
6. Cancer
7. Leo
8. Aries
9. Pisces
10. Scorpio
11. Sagittarius
12. Libra

Russell Grant will be hosting a live web chat with Virgin Bingo customers on Friday 13th May from 8pm-9pm in the Hidden Treasure Room. Russell will also be giving away five signed copies of his latest book, Russell Grant's Sun Sign Book. To join Russell go to Virgin Games Founded in 2004.

Virgin Airlines and Elle Macpherson: We love women in uniform, by Eva Rinaldi - 23rd February 2011

2011-02-23T12:11:00.000+11:00

Who doesn't love a woman in uniform?

Australian Supermodel Elle Macpherson aka 'The Body' has just slipped into something more comfortable, or at least that's the wish of Virgin king of the world, Richard Branson and his media savvy team.

The 40 year plus bombshell has just flown in from a Crown Casino, Melbourne stop over, and is strutting her stuff on the catwalk with Virgin hostesses in Sydney sporting a red hot number that is bound to keep passengers and others up all night (and other reaching for the chequebooks and credit cards).

Macpherson has been busy hosting Britain's Next Top Model, but made time to show off the latest Virgin Airline number, designed by season one Project Runway winner Juli Grbac.

It wasn't surprising, the Virgin King insisted that of his real life hosties also got the media rub off from 'The Body', and the powers that be are expecting Virgin Airlines to experience a lift in numbers (plus more mainly positive news media coverage), but just quietly, they expect a couple of knockers also.

Elle was passionate and extremely emotive, appearing to hold back tears, as she spoke on missing her family in Australia and a sick family member. She still looked a million bucks was pure class.

Virgin Blue PR Danielle Keighery spoke on the new uniform making fresh happenings both in the air and on the ground, but assured us that the staff wouldn't change and would continue to be known for their friendliness and fun.

Sex still sells when done right, and few know how to do it better than Elle and RB (who didn't attend due to a ski accident). Just how much business may have been mixed with pleasure is anyone's guess, but we know that Branson (and Packer friend and associate), Damian Aspinall, the UK gaming and nature entrepreneur, did a series of dates with Elle about a year ago, and Elle is very particular in her brands and men.

I think the matching of Elle and Virgin Airines might just be quite a match up in heaven. Now all we need is a bit of Michael Buble and wedding bells might sing out in the sky.

Branson and Elle - Virgin's, we don't think so...but the hot red uniform sure lends itself to new beginnings and radiates class, sex, power and style, with just a dash of romance.

What airline will you and yours be travelling on for your next overseas honeymoon. No need to tell us, we will take an educated guess darlings. Virgin continues to add to their world class 'body of work', remaining at the top of their game, despite the sometimes turbulent sector. Oh, did we mention, RB is also a member of the 'Mile High Club', but we are not endorsing you join it via his airline, unless you get a special invitation.

Virgin Hotels 'at least two years away' - 1st February 2011

2011-02-05T21:14:00.001+11:00

Sir Richard Branson has said that his much-anticipated new hotel brand Virgin Hotels is still two years away from launching.

According to reports in US media, he told the American Lodging and Investment Summit that finding sites for the new hotel chain wasn't proving easy, although he did confirm a few places where travelers will be able to enjoy Virgin's almost-legendary hospitality.

San Diego and Washington DC are likely candidates, and Branson also announced that one of the the first sites will be in New Mexico, overlooking the spaceport which will send his Virgin Galactic tourist flights into space.

He also told conference attendees that each hotel will be different, saying that putting a Virgin stamp on the hotels wasn't enough and that the goal was to be the "funnest" hotel for guests to go to.

Fans of the outlandish British billionaire who are disappointed by the wait can take solace in exciting new hotels from America's favorite businessman Donald Trump, scheduled for the not-too-distant future.

The luxury hotel brand is set to open its first properties outside of the US in the coming months - the Trump Ocean Club Panama and the Trump International Hotel & Tower Toronto are both expected in the spring.

The hotels, which will be added to the five-star portfolio of properties in New York, Las Vegas and Chicago, are built to the exacting standards of Donald and his daughter Ivanka and are both record breakers - the Panama property is the tallest and largest building in Latin America and the Toronto hotel the tallest residential building in Canada.

Virgin Gaming News: Virgin, Electronic Arts bring bets to video games - 22nd January 2011

2011-01-23T15:50:00.001+11:00

OTTAWA — Gambling has come to the video-game console in your living room.

Toronto’s Virgin Gaming, a division of Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin empire, announced this past week that it had signed a deal with Electronic Arts (EA) to support a majority of popular sports games, including the wildly popular Madden NFL 11 and FIFA 11, using its online wagering system.

The announcement affects everyone from government regulators, who are trying to decide how to best control the expansion of Internet-based gambling, to parents who must now keep an even closer watch over their children’s video-game sessions.

Virgin allows video gamers to wager on the outcome of their video -game challenges and then tracks the players as they play on an Xbox 360 or PS3, ensuring no one is cheating. The winner is then handed the payout. Prizes can be in the tens of thousands of dollars.

The company said it already has 170,000 users from 30 countries signed up to use its online services.

So far, the Virgin system only allows organized tournaments, sort of like online poker tournaments — meaning players can buy into a tournament and then play their way through it, with the champion claiming the jackpot.

Sponsored tournaments, including a recent Maxim Magazine event, would see gamers skip paying the entrance fee. However, in the coming weeks, Virgin plans to open up a game-by-game wagering system, which will allow gamers to create their own tournaments and challenge others online for real cash prizes.

“This is the biggest deal that we’ve had,” said William Levy, president of Virgin Gaming.

“We have the entry fee-based tournaments. We also have sponsored tournaments. Let’s say there was a $10 entry fee tournament, you could click ‘enter now,’ agree to the terms and conditions and then we deduct the $10 from your account and put it towards the pot.”

To begin wagering on Virgin’s tournament-play system, a player must sign up for an account at the company’s website. Registering requires a credit card.

While a handful of game tournaments have already been offered on the Virgin system, including Halo: Reach and NBA 2K11, the addition of EA is set to greatly boost the profile of the service and open Virgin’s wagering system to fans of sports betting.

It will also allow the company to begin offering new services, such as Madden NFL 11 Red Zone, which will be introduced in the coming weeks and will allow gamers to create tournaments whenever they choose.

“We are going to be releasing user-generated tournaments within the next month or so,” said Levy.

Sports video games represent big business.

EA’s Madden NFL franchise is the best-selling sports video game in the United States, having sold more than 1.81 million copies in its first month on store shelves in August. According to EA, fans of the title have played more than 190 million games of virtual football over the Internet on Xbox Live since the title launched in August.

FIFA 11 is the world’s best-selling sports game; more than 2.6 million copies of the title were sold in its first five days on store shelves in November. On Jan. 14, EA announced the game had been awarded a Guinness World Record. More than 775,000 people participated in the FIFA Interactive World Cup this past summer, making it the biggest Internet-based gaming tournament ever held.

Nina Littman-Sharp, manager of the problem-gambling service at Toronto’s Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, said the Virgin Gaming service should send up a number of red flags.

Littman-Sharp said while small, infrequent wagers can be a fun way to pass the time, large wagers on a regular basis add up to a problem.

She said addiction counsellors are already helping to treat problem gamblers and they are also working to treat people hooked on video games. Combining the two creates a new problem, she said.

“It’s bridging the gap between online gaming and online gambling,” she said. “We already see people who have problems with both. I can already see this being one more element that we are going to start to be seeing in treatment.”

Virgin’s Levy said the company has created a number of safeguards to ensure underage players are barred from wagering and problem gambling is flagged.

He said the system only allows people to load $500 per week into their Virgin accounts without contacting a customer service agent.

People on a real spending spree will also have their accounts temporarily locked out until they speak to a customer service agent about their account activity.

Gambling on sports is one of the largest segments of gambling spending worldwide. More than $2.57 billion was legally wagered in Nevada sports books in 2009, according to the American Gaming Association.

That is believed to represent less than one per cent of all sports betting nationwide. Nevada is the only state that allows sports gambling on all major sports leagues in the United States. The FBI estimates that more than $2.5 billion US is illegally wagered annually on the March Madness college basketball tournament each year.

Added to that is the more than $1.5 billion US wagered on fantasy sports leagues annually, according to a study by Kim Beason, a professor at the University of Mississippi.

Virgin stands to collect a chunk of that market thanks to opening up sports betting to armchair quarterbacks playing on a virtual pitch.

The news comes at a time when governments around the world are still trying to figure out how best to respond to the growth of Internet gambling.

In July, the provincial government in British Columbia became the first in North America to begin offering a government-run online casino.

The move was made to cut back on private-sector encroachment in the Internet-gambling space.

While many governments have laws prohibiting wagers on games of chance, such as slot machines, or even a mixture of chance and skill, such as poker, there doesn’t seem to be anything prohibiting wagering on a game of skill, such as a game of Madden NFL 11, over the Internet, according to the RCMP, who are responsible for policing Internet-based gambling in Canada.

While Internet gambling is an issue that has been examined by provincial and federal governments, there has been no new legislation in Canada to specifically address the issue.

In a bid to reduce exposure to Internet gambling sites, in 2006 the Ontario government made it illegal for Internet-based casinos and web-based poker games to advertise in the province.

A 2004 report from the Addictions Foundation of Manitoba, called Internet Gambling in Canada Waits in Legal Purgatory lamented the lack of updated legislation to deal with online gambling.

The foundation said little has changed in the past six years to deal with the issue.

Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp. chairman Paul Godfrey has publicly stated that the gambling regulator is loosing as much as $500 million annually because it has turned a blind eye to online wagering.

That figure will only increase as more initiatives such as Virgin Gaming spring up and grow in popularity. (Credit: The Vancouver Sun)

Hulk Hogan Hulkamania Casino Slot Via Endemol Games UK, by Greg Tingle

2011-01-06T00:22:00.001+11:00

G'day punters, gaming entrepreneurs, casino billionaires, journalists, gamers, wrestling fans and Hulk-A-Maniacs!... one and all. The Hulk Hogan Hulkamania slot game will soon be coming to an online casino near you!. Media Man and Gambling911 catch Hulkamania as the red and yellow runs wild...

There's been talk of a Hulk Hogan themed online slot game for years, and it was only last year when Hogan's 'The Hulkamania Experience' slot hit a couple of American land based casinos, thanks to an Eric Bischoff deal inked with Rainmaker Technology, ID Interactive and the Dreamseekers Foundation. In the process some substantial funds were raised to help out Native American Indians with the support of the National Indian Gaming Association.

Hogan's latest gaming effort may be more commercial in nature, but we think just as newsworthy, and you can bet long time rival, Ric Flair aka 'The Nature Boy' is closely watching the situation, Flair with his own themed Carolina Lottery deals in place, with his trademark Woooooo! It's most interesting timing with WWE, Hogan's former home turf promotion where he largely built his fame, launching WWE Poker just last August to mixed, mainly positive response.

To say this is a major coup for Endemol Games UK is an understatement, and numerous media and gaming commentators predict more pro wrestling themed games to follow, with the names of Ric Flair, Andre The Giant, Jimmy Snuka, Jake "The Snake" Roberts, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper and Kevin "Big Sexy" Nash being thrown around. Nash, earlier in his career being known as Vinnie Vegas, has featured some online casino games on his website for a few years, so an official slot game for the NWO mainstay would not be a surprise.

A little known fact is that over a decade ago the then World Wrestling Federation purchased a land based casino in Las Vegas, but never got far with the project, actually selling it for a 2 million dollar profit (something unheard of these days).

Online casinos on the surface appear just as good a fit with pro wrestling aka sports entertainment, as action figures and wrestling video games. One may expect for security checks and age verification checks to be ramped up at online casinos as the trend towards pro wrestling slots continues.

A Media Man spokesperson said "This is one of the biggest online casino news stories in years. Hulk Hogan is of course one of the most recognizable people on the planet and a genuine living legend. Having met the man, we can say he's one hell of a great guy, generous of heart and spirit, and an innovator. He was one of the original pro wrestling entrepreneurs, having gained great experience working with the likes of WWE's Vince McMahon, Eric Bischoff and Jimmy Hart over the years. Hogan can create buzz and set trends like few other entertainment stars, and we predicate mega success for Hogan and his team on his latest venture. We're hopeful that the likes of PartyGaming and Virgin Games get his world class online slot machine, as we are keen to show it off to our loyal and vast readership. What's ya going to do when Hulkamania runs wild on you?"

For the record, here's the press release...

ENDEMOL AND HULK HOGAN TEAM UP FOR ONLINE GAMING DEAL

Los Angeles / London: 15th October 2010

Hulk Hogan is taking to the ring again, this time online. The world-famous wrestling champion, actor, TV host, entrepreneur and reality-show star has formed a new tag-team with global production company Endemol, and the licensing division of Bischoff Hervey Entertainment, in order to take on the online gaming industry.

Seen weekly in over 120 countries as the star of TNA Wrestling, Hogan has now partnered with Endemol, one of the world’s largest producers of TV, film and digital content. The result is Hulk Hogan’s Hulkamania, an online slot created by Endemol Games UK. The game is slated for worldwide release early next year and will be distributed internationally by Endemol Worldwide Brands, a global division dedicated to brand partnerships and digital media. Hulkamania will be one of the first games of its type to integrate original video content of its star, who appears personally throughout in order to inspire players and personalize the gameplay experience.
Endemol Games UK is the recently launched division specializing in online gaming and headed up by Managing Director, Jurian van der Meer. Van der Meer comments; “Endemol Games UK is expanding into new areas and this deal marks one of our first third party licensing partnerships. Hulk Hogan is an icon with massive global appeal and we aim to attract his fans with creative online slot games. This is a great addition to our portfolio.”

The deal was spearheaded by producers and longtime Hogan partners, Eric Bischoff and Jason Hervey, for the licensing division of Los Angeles-based Bischoff-Hervey Entertainment. “Endemol is a major player in international media. Titles like ‘Deal or No Deal’ and ‘Big Brother’ are still setting the standard for media properties across the world. We’re proud to be partners”, said Bischoff.

MX Gaming, a relative newcomer in the online world, is co-producing Hulkamania with Endemol and Bischoff-Hervey Entertainment, and was instrumental in the genesis of the deal. “We’ve worked closely with Bischoff and Hogan on prior projects, and when examining our options for online, Endemol was clearly the perfect fit. They know television, and they know gaming, and that’s precisely what we wanted”, said Ike Mcfadden of MX Gaming. “With a 25-year career and millions of fans, a game based on the exploits of Hulk Hogan is probably as close to a safe bet as exists in the highly competitive online gaming industry.”

Sir Richard Branson plays Rich Uncle Pennybags with Virgin Monopoly game

Merry Christmas from the bearded one. No, not Father Christmas but Sir Richard Branson. This year his beardedness sent out special editions of Monopoly to favoured friends – and to Dashwood.

The boards are leatherbound, the pieces are metal and all of it is bespoke to the Virgin empire. Even the Community Chest cards are particular to Virgin. "Receive £2.5m prize for beard of the year," one of them reads.

Branson, you're nicking my gags.

Each square has one of Branson's companies on it. So Virgin Money and Branson's Caribbean getaway Necker Island are where Pall Mall and Mayfair would usually be. V Festival and Virgin Wines are relegated to Old Kent Road and Whitechapel. Sorry chaps.

The maker's website advertises very similar games on sale for £675 a pop.

I'll be enjoying a game today. And reminding myself of the "object of the game" – to be the only person left in the game who is not bankrupt. (Credit: The Telegraph)

Virgin Casino Introduces Crocodopolis and The 100,000 Pyramid

2010-12-19T20:55:00.000+11:00

Virgin Casino Introduces Crocodopolis and The 100,000 Pyramid

Virgin Casino and Virgin Bingo, part of the leading online gaming company - Virgin Games - have launched two new games this week, Crocodopolis by NextGen and The 100,000 Pyramid by Wagerworks.

Featuring on Virgin Casino and Virgin Bingo is Crocodopolis, a 5-reel, 25-payline slot. The Ancient Egypt themed game features the Croc pharaoh, whose realm is Crocodopolis. Crocodopolis brings a new concept to slots with its unique Slide a Wild feature. Slide a Wild allows the player to choose how volatile the game is, as they position and determine in which reels they want the wild symbols to appear. The more a player moves the slider away from reel one, the more powerful the wild symbols become and the bigger the wins.

The 100,000 Pyramid features on Virgin Casino. This new game, based on the hit TV game show in the US, follows on from its successful predecessor, The 50,000 Pyramid. The game features 15-paylines of fantastic game show fun where players can win up to 100,000x their bet. Score three or more Winner's Circle symbols to climb the Pyramid, earning free spins or multipliers with every pick.

Warren Eloff, Head of Products at Virgin Games, commented: "It's great to be introducing these new titles this week. The 50,000 Pyramid has been a huge hit with our players so we have high hopes for its successor. The variety we provide our customers is a key priority of Virgin Games, and adding these new games enhances the great choice we offer, making ours one of the most exciting online casinos around."

Founded in 2004, Virgin Games has over 1,000,000 players and over 250 games on its site. Through the introduction of a custom built Virgin Games platform in 2008, Virgin Games seeks to provide its players with the widest possible choice of casino games.

Richard Branson's Project iPad magazine teased in video, rumored launch Tuesday - 29th November 2010

2010-12-01T06:17:00.003+11:00

Project Magazine, Richard Branson's new publication available only on Apple's iPad, has a blog, a teaser video and as of yet, no official release date.

The first issue of the digital magazine hits iPads it will have The Dude ... Jeff Bridges on the cover, apparently talking about his new movie Tron Legacy.

And it will also include an article about Jaguar's new 205-mph as-environmentally-friendly-as-a-supercar-can-be C-X75 concept, among other things.

Multiple online news sites and blogs are reporting that Project will launch on iPads tomorrow in its own iPad app.

A search on Apple's App Store, via iTunes, on Monday evening returned no results for a Project magazine app.

The video teaser hypes Project as a magazine about design, entertainment, technology and entrepreneurs.

On its blog, Project says that issues of the magazine will feature "a whole month’s worth of content, which updates over the month."

The digital magazine is iPad only, for now, but the website also says it will "be available in other formats, soon."

Project offered no projections as to what other devices are being considered for distribution, but smart phones or tablet computers running Google's Android, RIM's BlackBerry Tablet OS, Palm's WebOS or Microsoft Windows could make sense.

If Project does launch tomorrow, we'll have a write-up of what the iMag --- er iPad magazine -- has to offer.

Officials at Branson's company, Virgin Group, were unavailable to comment on the magazine or its rumored launch date.

Sir Richard Branson must dress as an air hostess after losing a bet - 17th November 2010

2010-11-18T20:40:00.002+11:00

Sir Richard Branson must dress as an air hostess and serve customers champagne on a rival's airline - after losing a bet.

Branson, 60, bet his Virgin Racing F1 team would finish higher than Lotus Racing in the 2010 championships.

Both teams scored no points but Lotus had better finishes and now the businessman has to wear a dress and serve charity auction winners on Tony Fernandes's Air Asia flight from London to Kuala Lumpur.

Fernandes, 46, who worked for Branson's Virgin Atlantic in the late 1980s, said: "Now it's time for Richard to start preparing himself for some hard work and the likely pain of a pair of high heels."
