Virgin launches a.....Games Site

VirginGames.com launches their casino/games/poker thingy

So Branson has finally got in on the act and launched a casino/games/poker thing - Its too late at night to think of a name to describe the site - 'thing' will do for now.

Essentially, it offers a mix of traditional casino games (like the ones you get at Get Minted - those cute video-style flash ones), as well as very typical online poker and some strange - well what can only be described as - 'kiddie games'. In other words, a combination of different games design and options. Not a bad idea - but its a bit of a muddled pot at times.

Like the games mix itself, the website is a bit of a mishmash between clean, colour-coded boxes that were popular with website designers about 2 years ago and a bizarre smudgy background blur that is a total turn-off

However, the good news is that if I decide I need some Virgin Wines, or if I win a few grand and want to book a flight to somewhere warm - it appears there's plenty of ads available throughout the site to tempt me

All in all, its not bad, but I doubt it'll set the world on fire. It'll be interesting to see how people take to Virgin as a 'casino' brand.
