What is the 888 Genie?

The beautiful 888 Genie (a real girl from 888poker) has been surprising players on PokerCam (webcam poker) tables in September, challenging them to mini-games and giving away thousands of dollars in cash and prizes. Mini-games so far have included all players doing a Mexican wave, striking a pose and more.
