Virgin Games News: Forget the Polls - Virgin Games Predicts the "Luckiest" Politician

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM - 04/27/10 - Virgin Games, the leading online gaming company, has analysed a 40,000 player sample of its database to find the luckiest star sign and name in an attempt to predict the outcome of the upcoming general election. It was a close call for the top spot, but as far as our leaders' go the luckiest star sign is shared by the ambitious yet grounded and ever practical Capricorn, Nick Clegg, born 7th January 1967.

Following closely behind is Piscean Gordon, born 20th February 1951. Pisceans are very sensitive and have the ability to read others well. When they have a hunch, you may want to go with it, as they are very intuitive. Trailing in a conservative puddle of tears is poor Libran, David, born 9th October 1966. However, he can be comforted in the knowledge that Librans are very easy to like because of their supposed charming ways.

What's in a name?

Again Nick, our Lib Dem golden boy came out on top as having the luckiest name amongst our three candidates - and following in his shadow is anyone called Gordon. Once again, poor David trails behind.

Simon Burridge, CEO of Virgin Games, commented: "This election is one of the most unpredictable in years - we may as well look at star signs and names! While skill is often a factor when it comes to playing in an online casino, it is interesting to see the luck of certain star signs and names. What this shows us is that it doesn't pay to be a Libran called David, but if your name is Nick and you are a Capricorn, take a gamble. You'll most likely be luckier than the others. As far as being a Piscean called Gordon goes - life's a gamble - which way will it go?"

Launched in 2004, Virgin Games is one of the UK's leading online gaming sites. To visit Virgin Games go to www.virgingames.com.

Virgin Games Staff Take on the London Marathon

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM - 04/22/10 - On April 25, two members of staff from Virgin Games will run the Virgin London Marathon.

29 year old NOC Manager, Jeff Dunbar and 32 year old Nico Van Der Westhuizen, Head of Technical have been training hard, with Jeff aiming to run the 26.2 miles in under three hours.

Jeff and Nico will be among 100 Virgin employees in a team led by Sir Richard Branson aiming to raise as much money as possible to help vulnerable young people in the UK fulfil their potential through Virgin's non-profit foundation, Virgin Unite. All of the money raised will go straight to fantastic charities working with the most vulnerable young people in the UK such as Kids Company, The Foyer Federation, Rathbone and Youth at Risk.

Richard is incentivising sponsorship - for every GBP 5 donated on his Virgin Money Giving page, sponsors will be entered in a prize draw for a trip to Necker Island.

Jeff Dunbar said: "This will be the first marathon for both of us and we are looking forward to the challenge. We have both been receiving generous support from our colleagues, family and friends which will be gratefully received by the kids that will benefit."

Jeff and Nico are hoping to raise over GBP 3,000 for Kids Company which provides practical, emotional and educational support to vulnerable inner-city children and young people. They are thankful for any donation, large or small, they receive.

To leave a donation for Jeff or Nico go to:
