Virgin Poker today announced the launch of free online Texas hold’em on Facebook in partnership with Playzu. To play on Facebook, players must add the Playzu application. Every winning hand counts toward the daily top 25 leader board. These 25 players will receive a signup code to play for exclusive Virgin prizes, including air miles.
Players can also play invite-only tournaments wherein they invite their Facebook friends.
Simon Burridge, chief executive officer of Virgin Games, said, “Virgin Poker is about poker for everyone — from World Series of Poker bracelet winners to complete novices. We therefore wanted to partner with a Facebook application that offered not only an entertaining environment to play poker in, but also all of the excitement of a real tournament with exclusive prizes to be won. Playzu does just that, and, with over 8 million UK users on Facebook, this was too good an opportunity to ignore.”
