In a joint effort between its UK and Malta based teams, employees from leading casino operator Genting have been on a mission to run, walk and cycle their way across the globe (virtually) in a bid to raise money for charity.
Having set an initial target of 2000km – the distance between Genting’s UK and Malta offices – the teams collectively covered more than 10,000km and ultimately reached Genting’s parent company in Malaysia!
The challenge is a fundraiser for Dragonfly Cancer Trust, a UK charity supporting young cancer patients with no hope of a cure. To date, Genting employees have raised over £6,000.
Using the Nike Run Club app, more than 50 Genting employees came together to clock up the miles during the month of February.
Sanjeev Vadhera, Chair of Trustees at Dragonfly Cancer Trust, commented: “On behalf of the Board of Trustees at Dragonfly Cancer Trust, I would like to say a massive well done to each and every one of you who took part in this fantastic challenge.
“It is simply wonderful that your team of dedicated staff have come together during these difficult times and have collectively raised such an incredible amount of money.
“Your support comes at a time when young cancer patients are facing even more barriers due to the pandemic. The money you have raised will help to make their remaining time more comfortable and will provide them with opportunities to create lasting memories.”
Helen Brittain, Genting UK’s Chief Information Officer said: “It has been a brilliant team effort, with everyone coming together to help smash our original target. We’re very proud to be supporting such a fantastic charity like Dragonfly Cancer Trust and the work they do to support young cancer patients.”

Comcast announced it has added sports betting odds from FanDuel into Xfinity Odds Zone on Xfinity X1, giving customers more ways to view live odds, game lines and prop bets for major sporting events without having to take their eyes off their TV.
“X1 is the best seat in the house for live sports, and now with FanDuel as part Odds Zone, we’re making it even better by giving fans access to another top sportsbook integrated directly into their viewing experience,” said Vito Forlenza, Vice President, Sports Entertainment, Comcast. “Our entertainment platform makes it easy for customers to find their favorite sports by bringing everything together in one place – whether airing nationally or locally, on broadcast or streaming. And when combined with features like Odds Zone, Enhanced 4K and Multiview, we’re giving our customers the ultimate sports viewing experience.”
With FanDuel on X1, customers can access odds for top leagues, including NFL, NHL, NBA, MLB, WNBA, the PGA TOUR, NCAA football and NCAA men’s and women’s basketball, directly on the TV, side-by-side with live game coverage. Bets can be quickly initiated by scanning a QR code that will add the wager to a FanDuel bet slip on the customer’s mobile device. Customers can launch the experience by saying “Odds Zone,” “View odds” or “FanDuel odds” into their X1 voice remote. And coming soon, Xfinity Odds Zone will also be accessible from a new sports betting hub on X1, a centralized destination for fans, bettors and fantasy players that brings together the latest analysis and betting-focused content from available networks and streaming channels all in one place.
“We are thrilled to partner with Comcast to enhance how our customers can watch and wager on their favorite teams and athletes,” said Karol Corcoran, Senior Vice President and General Manager of FanDuel Sportsbook. “Integrating FanDuel odds into the Xfinity Odds Zone offers sports fans another way to interact with our robust sports betting offering, and we look forward to collaborating with Comcast to continue elevating the game day viewing experience.”

Leading iGaming content provider Spinomenal has unveiled its latest game to join the much-loved Folktales series, Story of Cinderella.
The game is presented within a 5×4 frame that is brought to life with a soft, enchanting soundtrack. The reels are positioned between two golden pillars and luxurious architecture, evoking a regal environment.
A glistening silver slipper, sparkling tiara, antique grandfather clock and a magical wand form the influential symbols in the main game. Free Spins can be accessed only when players find three or more Scattered Free Spins symbols and initially will grant 10 Free Spins.
Any player lucky enough to discover four Free Spins symbols will collect 25 Free Spins and five or more will secure a massive 100 Free Spins.
Once in the Free Spins round, a Cinderella Stacked Wild is randomly attached to one reel for each spin – it moves left and right for each additional spin. The Wild symbol represents all symbols except Free Spins and five Wild symbols on a winning line will pay out x3000 the bet line.
Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “Unlike the origins of the word, Cinderella, meaning someone whose attributes are unrecognised, this game instantly catches the attention. Its bright design is complemented by seamless gameplay and the chance for 100 Free Spins means players will have a ball.”
